Supporting healthy liver and gallbladder function is so important for your wellness journey! Here's what we use in three categories: immediate, short-term, and long-term!
Comfort in the Moment
This is what works for us!
1) Epsom Salts
Dissolve 1 teaspoon of Epsom Salts in some water. (It tastes vile, in my opinion, so I just put it in about a quarter cup of water and chug it. Then, chase it with something that tastes good -- even plain water works.) The theory behind this is that it supposedly relaxes the bile ducts.
The is essential oil blend comes in a Vitality label. So we sometimes take it as a supplement and put a 3-5 drops in a capsule. It also comes in a topical label -- and I use it with massage over my liver area.
Take the Pressure Off
These are supplements we use for immediate support. We do use them long term, but we find them helpful in the short-term.
The liver and gallbladder help digest and process the food we've taken in. Adding digestive enzymes as part of our food helps the digestive process along -- and lightens the load on the liver. Essentialzymes-4 has a spectrum of digestive enzymes that address all 4 major food groups (carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and fiber). We take it with our biggest meal.
2) Sulfurzyme
The liver utilizes nutritional sulfur to help bind toxins to cleanse them from the body. Supplementing nutritional sulfur can give the body resources to be more efficient with this process. I take 4 capsules of Sulfurzyme before bed.
Long Term Strategy
1) Stop the Poison
Implementing Dr. Minke's full 3-Part Wellness Strategy is key. Most of the ideas listed above are in the "Flood the Body with Nutrients" category. "Stop the Poison" helps other parts be more effective and lightens the load on the body. Clean up your diet; eliminate trans fats, chemical additives, refined & artificial sugars, and refined grains. If you're new to that process, we encourage that process over a year's time in the YL Wellness Program.
2) Liver and Gallbladder Flush
Over the years, we have done many of the liver and gallbladder flushes (utilizing olive oil & lemon juice) and experienced a great deal of benefit. Dr. Minke has a booklet that lays out the process, as well as the preparations we've found to be helpful before the cleanse. Just contact us for more info.
Month 3 of our year-long YL Wellness Program focuses on the digestive system with special emphasis on the liver. You can watch the videos and learn more about your liver and gallbladder and how to support them!
