"Hi, my name is Doctor Kim Makoi, I'm a holistic chiropractor from San Francisco, California, and this is how to understand a liver and gallbladder flush. Your liver and your gallbladder are involved with helping you break down fats, the liver is also sort of like your oil filter in your body, it helps you to - all of your blood as to pass through the liver, it's located on the righthand side here, under the lower ribs, and it's full of lots of tiny little ducts, so like with any system of tubes, those tubes are vulnerable to getting plugged or getting a little bit dirty so basically the liver and gallbladder flushes are designed to help kind of flush that ductwork, so that the bile, the fluids can flow more smoothly and so that your liver can function at a more efficient rate.

And that's how to understand a liver and gallbladder flush."
