What does the liver do?
The liver carries out over 500 essential roles in the human body. These include filtering the blood and removing harmful toxins, generating bile to metabolize fats, proteins and carbohydrates, storing essential vitamins and minerals, supporting blood clots and more!
Why should I do a Liver Cleanse?
A healthy liver functions very efficiently, but a damaged liver can lead to various health problems. Excessive alcohol consumption or a diet high in refined sugar and high fructose corn syrup are the greatest causes of liver damage. Fortunately the liver is a regenerating organ meaning it is able to heal itself when treated properly.
Symptoms of a Dysfunctioning Liver:
- Cramping, gas or bloating in the lower abdomen
- Skin changes (yellow hue)
- Dark urine or pale stool
- Fatigue
- Confusion or cognitive problems
- Irritability
- Mood swings or depression
- Weight gain or inability to lose weight
- High cholesterol
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Digestive problems (constipation, diarrhea, acid reflux or heartburn)
- Sugar crashes (abnormal rise and fall of glucose levels)
- Hormonal imbalances
- Immune problems
- Excessive sweating or body odor
- Sleep apnea
Ananda Liver and Gallbladder Cleanse Detox Program Add-On:
You can complete the Liver and Gallbladder Cleanse for the first or last 3 ½ days of Ananda’s Detox Program or you can also complete the Liver and Gallbladder Cleanse separate from our primary detox programs. It is more effective to do the liver cleanse while you’re already fasting. The Liver and Gallbladder Cleanse costs 3,000 Baht to add on to a Detox Program or 4,500 Baht to complete separately.
The System:
- Green Apple Juice: contains limonoid which helps soften any gallstones
- Epsom Salts: assists in opening the bile ducts
- Liver Flush Drink*: flushes the liver and allows gallstones to pass
- Garlic Colema
- Post-Cleanse meal: Watermelon followed by papaya with yogurt and bee pollen
Program Schedule:
1st & 2nd Day Liver Program
On the first 2 days of your Liver program, you will have Green Apple Juice in the morning and night.
3rd Day Liver Program
The 3rd day is the main day of your Liver Program. On this day, you will have green apple juice in the morning, Epsom Salts in the evening, followed by the Liver Flush Drink* at night. We will provide a schedule with the exact times to take each.
4th Day Liver Program
The 4th day is your final day of your Liver Program. You will have your final Epsom Salts in the morning, then finish with a final Colema. To break your fast you will have a plate of watermellon followed by papaya with yogurt and bee pollen.
*Liver Flush Notes:
- After you take the liver flush drink it is important to lie on your right hand side then go directly to sleep to maximize effectiveness.
- As you rest, you may feel the liver and gallbladder working and the stones traveling through the bile ducts. If you follow these directions, you should not feel any pain or discomfort.
- After your final Epsom salt, you will most likely find yourself in the bathroom. You will eliminate mostly liquid, along with gallstones. You will see more gallstones in your final colema and may use a colander if you wish to see them after.
- A teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil every day will keep the bile ducts clean and prevent new stones from forming.
