Herbal Detox - part 3 - Liver Flush
Once the bowel / colon is thoroughly cleansed, the body can begin to cleanse one of its major organs of elimination, the liver.
The liver cleanse consists of 3 treatments,
- Detox Formula, to be taken 3 times a day for 2-3 weeks.
- Liver flush 'drink' in the morning for 5 consecutive days only.
- Castor oil packs. 3 days on, 4 days off, for 2 -3 weeks.
Detox Formula
Take 5 mls of the tincture in a small amount of water 3 times a day. Take after meals. Continue for 2-3weeks, until the bottle is finished.
Liver flush 'drink'
To be taken for 5 consecutive days. (Choose your days whenever it is convenient)
Both options must be taken on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. Use organic produce if poss.
The very brave option!
8oz of citrus juice (freshly squeezed is best, add a lemon if you can tolerate it)
8oz distilled or filtered water
1 clove of garlic (not chopped - just with skin removed)
1 tablespoon of organic olive oil
1 chunk of ginger root (size of the end of your thumb)
Pour everything into a blender and drink!!
The not so brave option!
As above but instead of taking the garlic fresh, take the equivalent dose separately, in 'garlic pearls' or capsules.
- Over the 5 days your aim is to increase to 4 tablespoons of olive oil and 4 cloves of garlic in the drink. Also increase the ginger to prevent nausea from the garlic.
- Follow the flush with a small glass of fresh orange or apple juice to cleanse your mouth.
- 15mins after the flush, drink 2 cups of peppermint or ginger tea to help digest the oil mixture and 'push it' through the digestive system. You may wish to chew on a small piece of ginger if you feel nauseous.
- Chew parsley leaves / cumin seeds during the day, to take away the taste of garlic!

What you need
- Castor oil

- Old clothes
- Old bed sheets
Preparation
- Boil the flannel in water for 5mins and leave to dry (do not use washing up powder or soap).

Leave on for 60 - 90mins
Removing the pack
- Take the flannel off and put it in an airtight plastic container to store. You do not need to wash it. When you come to re-use the flannel just 'top up' the oil on the cloth to keep it moist but not dripping - this shouldn't take much oil. Most of th
- You can wash the oil off your skin with a cloth soaked in bicarbonate of soda and water, or just rub the oil off with paper towels.
- Put on old clothes, as yellow toxins will seep out of the skin. For this reason use old bed sheets when you go to sleep!
Frequency
- Repeat every day for 3 days, then have 4 days off.
- Continue this cycle until results are obtained.
Washing the flannel
- The flannel only needs washing after 28 uses. Re-boil it in water for 5 mins with a few teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda.
- The oil will last for at least 5 years.
