How is the cleaning of the liver at home with drugs and folk remedies?

procedure The liver performs in the bodyseveral important functions, including - neutralizing toxins coming from food, formed in the process of metabolism or appearing as a result of the vital activity of pathogenic organisms. It has a huge workload, so from time to time it is necessary to carry out therapeutic and preventive measures aimed at maintaining the health of the largest gland in the body. Cleaning the liver at home is a collective name for such procedures, which is not entirely accurate and correct from the point of view of scientific medicine. However, the need for the prevention of hepatitis and hepatosis of various origins is available, and minimizing its value would be dangerous to health.

The impact of negative factors on the liver

The main function of the liver is the neutralization of a variety of toxins and harmful substances, the utilization of excess hormones and vitamins in the body. The second, no less important task, with which this body manages - is the transformation of the substances entering into it into energy sources. It's the liver that processes excess calories into subcutaneous fat and helps to utilize and assimilate an extra piece of cake or pie. But overeating can adversely affect the organ itself, causing not only excessive formation of adipose tissue, but also increasing the concentration of harmful substances for the body. In pathological anatomy, even there is a special concept - "goose liver", which characterizes the process of replacement of liver cells with fat tissue.

The liver is a natural filter that takes a direct part in the detoxification( self-purification) of the body and the removal of waste substances from it. But this filter can "clog up".The work of the body is seriously disturbed by overeating, the use of fatty, fried, sharp, smoked foods. Shock doses of alcohol and nicotine are particularly negative for the liver. Alcohol and excess fat in the diet are two interrelated negative factors. So, the reception of alcoholic beverages damages the liver tissue, causing its replacement by much less sensitive to oxygen deficiency tissues - connective and fat. A fatty hepatosis increases the damaging effect of alcohol.

Drug medications can also be a cause of liver disease, and drug-induced hepatitis is a separate group of diseases. Most often, antibiotics, drugs for lowering cholesterol in the blood, and also complexes of fat-soluble vitamins - A, D, E and K, have this side effect. Last, despite seeming harmless, can lead to serious liver damage.

Viral hepatitis significantly interferes with liver function, especially for hemocontact viruses B C and D. Hepatitis A and E, transmitted by food, water or household, with proper and timely treatment are not prone to chronization. In contrast, hepatitis, transmitted by contact with the blood of an infected person, usually have a prolonged course and often become chronic. Hepatitis C is known for that it can only take place in chronic form, and there are no reliable means of its treatment and prevention at the moment.

Parasitic diseases, in particular, opisthorchiasis, have a direct damaging effect on the liver. They increase the likelihood of liver abscesses, inflammatory processes and the subsequent fibrosis and cirrhosis of the liver. In addition, the body daily gets a huge amount of harmful substances in the air, drinking water, food, household items. Therefore, despite the fact that reviews of doctors about cleaning the liver are usually skeptical, this procedure is necessary and important for health.

Symptoms of liver damage

The liver is a very "silent" organ. She rarely express herself with sharp pains, and the symptoms of her defeat appear rather late, when the disease has already passed into a dangerous stage. Therefore, if you do not have medical education, it's difficult to recognize in time when the liver needs help. The liver has very large reserve capacities, and the disruption of its function may become apparent only a few years after the onset of the disease.

Still, the characteristic signs of liver damage can make themselves felt. This is a digestive disorder, at an early stage - a change in taste, later, stool disorders can occur. In addition, the following symptoms may appear:

• chronic weakness and fatigue;
• rapid fatigue, drowsiness or insomnia;
• excessive irritability, depressive condition;
• bitter taste in the mouth, plaque on the tongue;
• belching, bad breath;
• pallor, dry skin and hair, brittle nails;
• swelling, dark circles under the eyes;
• appearance of pigment spots on the skin, acne;
• disruptions in the functioning of the digestive tract( diarrhea, constipation, bloating, lack of appetite);
• increase in body weight, regardless of dietary restrictions;
• sensation of aches in the joints, cramps in the legs;
• frequent headaches;
• mild pain in the right upper quadrant.

If there is disgust for fried or fatty foods, then cleaning the liver at home without harm to health, will get rid of accumulated toxins, normalize the stool, improve digestion and absorption of nutrients.

Another characteristic group of symptoms is associated with the accumulation of harmful substances in the blood, which the liver can not render harmless in full. This is manifested by a decrease in blood coagulability, increased bleeding in skin injuries and the formation of hematomas. There is also a syndrome known as hepatic encephalopathy - impaired memory, attention and sleep. In case of damage to the hepatic tissue, cholemia syndrome develops - the appearance of bile acids and bilirubin in the blood that are part of the bile. At the same time a strong itchy skin develops, later the icteric color of the skin joins. At this stage, cleaning the liver with folk remedies may already be ineffective.

In the late stages of hepatosis and fibrosis of the liver there is a syndrome of portal hypertension - blood overflow of venous vessels. On the skin there are vascular stars on the face, neck, chest and back, but the most dangerous manifestation of this syndrome is the overflow of the venous vessels of the esophagus, which can lead to bleeding.

Liver cleansing preparations

For the purification of the liver, drugs are taken that improve its functions and provide protection against adverse factors. A doctor should prescribe such medicines. We list the most popular of them:

1. Allochol .In the composition of the natural cholagogue there is condensed bile, activated charcoal, dried garlic and nettle. Cleansing the liver with allochol suggests taking 1-2 tablets of the drug three times a day, for 4 weeks. This allows to normalize the production of bile, clean the bile ducts and liver ducts and improve the functioning of the organ. The result is noticeable already in the first week of treatment - the state of health, skin and hair condition improves, it becomes easier to fall asleep and wake up in the mornings. During treatment, a vegetarian diet should be followed so as not to overload the liver with work.
2. Hepatrine , Heptra light, Hepagard - preparations purifying the liver of toxins. They include phospholipids, tocopherol or components of plant origin( corn stigmas, oats).In the complex, the reception of these agents has a purifying, regenerating and restoring effect.
3. Silymarin , Karsil, Silibor - all these products have a powerful cleansing effect, beneficial effect on liver tissue and promote the secretion of bile.
4. Essentiale , Essentiale Forte, Essliver - hepatoprotectors based on phospholipids. They not only purify, but also regenerate the liver, because they contain phospholipid components, which are the building blocks for liver cells.

We also recommend using an innovative product, which includes only natural ingredients. Look at the instructions and reviews of LeViron duo.

Liver cleansing preparations should be applied several times a year to ensure their effectiveness remains high. They have a protective effect on the liver, allowing to protect it from diseases and prevent dangerous recurrences of chronic diseases. Take these funds one or two times a day, as prescribed by the doctor.

Dosage and duration of treatment depend on the severity of the condition. Contraindications for drugs to maintain liver health are few, but their significant drawback is a high price. In addition to medicamental agents, such a popular method is common, such as cleaning the liver with sorbitol. This procedure is easy to conduct independently at home.

Cleaning the liver with sorbitol

Preparation for cleaning the liver is a preliminary fasting within 24 hours. Any cleansing procedures need to start with cleansing of the intestine, otherwise toxins derived from the liver will settle in the slagged digestive tract and can cause an intoxication of the body. Therefore, treatment should begin with the reception of soft laxatives, which will allow to clean the large intestine, and only after that proceed to the basic purification procedures.

The advantages of folk methods are that they allow you to quickly achieve a positive result, but they can not be used during pregnancy and lactation, with bowel disease or in cases where the patient is not allowed to skip meals. However, there are techniques in which it is not necessary to apply a complex scheme of purification.

Cleaning the liver with sorbitol is one such simple method. This is an ordinary turmoil with mineral water. When performing the procedure, it is necessary to take 200 ml of mineral water on an empty stomach, in which sorbitol is dissolved( 1 tbsp).Then, go to bed on your right side, with a warm hot water bottle on the liver area. After half an hour, take the mineral water with sorbitol again.

If the procedure is carried out correctly, the bowel will be emptied after two hours and the patient will feel relief. The technique is designed to cleanse the liver of harmful substances that damage it and can cause serious illness.

Cleaning the liver with herbs at home

For the cleaning of the liver at home, corn stigmas are widely used. This herbal component is even a part of many medicines for liver treatment. Vegetable raw materials are recommended simply to brew and drink like tea for 2-3 weeks.

In addition, the list of herbs with choleretic action includes air, immortelle, oregano, dandelion, lemon balm, calendula. All of them are brewed at the rate of 1 tbsp.raw materials for 200ml of water and take 2-3 times a day.

A more complicated method of taking is the use of cholagogue and honey. An infusion of cholagogue grass is drunk on an empty stomach in the morning. After half an hour, take a spoon of honey dissolved in a glass of water. After that, you need to put a warm water bottle on your stomach and lie for so an hour and a half. This method is recommended to apply once every 3-4 months as a preventive measure.

An excellent effect results in the purification of the liver of the milk thistle, on the basis of which some medical preparations are made, for example, such as Legalon. The active substances of this plant have a strong protective effect on the liver, prevent the development of side effects from taking medicines. To purify and restore the liver cells, use thistle thistle. On its basis make a strong infusion and take it for 1-2 glasses a day.

Cleaning the liver with olive oil

To successfully apply this technique, several rules must be observed. First, cleaning should be done at the same time, preferably at bedtime. Secondly, before cleaning it is necessary for some time not to eat meat products and the last day before cleaning should refrain from food in general.

The general course of treatment is 5 weeks. Within 1 week in the morning on an empty stomach, drink 1/2 tsp.unrefined olive oil of cold pressing. During 2 weeks they drink 1 tsp.oil, during the 3 rd week, take 1 dessert spoon, in the 4th week - 1 tbsp.l.oil. On the final, 5 week - drink 1 dessert spoon of vegetable oil every morning. Carry out cleansing of the liver with vegetable oil should only after consulting a doctor, since such a procedure can provoke an exacerbation of pancreatitis, cholecystitis and gastritis.

Cleansing with oats

Cleaning the liver with oats has virtually no contraindications and is suitable for everyone. Such a procedure will help improve the functions of the internal organs( liver, kidneys) and cleanse the blood.

1. To prepare the infusion it is necessary to take whole grains of oats( not cereal), fill them in thick-walled utensils and pour 3 liters of hot water.
2. The container with oats should be placed for 2 hours in a preheated oven to 150 ° C and simmer for 2 hours.
3. After this time, the container is removed, its contents are insisted for 12 hours.
4. Ready broth is filtered and taken for 30 minutes before eating.
5. First, one drink is taken with 50 ml of oats decoction, then gradually this volume is increased to 150 ml.

Cleaning lemon juice

Cleaning the liver with lemon juice is its use on an empty stomach. To do this, in the morning, squeeze juice from 1 lemon and take it before breakfast. Sour juice, getting into the stomach, causes the release of bile, which helps to rid the liver of accumulated toxins in it. But such a recipe does not suit those who suffer from gastritis or peptic ulcer. Therefore, another recipe is often used, based on olive oil and lemon juice. This method has a softer effect, but, nevertheless, it effectively stimulates the production of bile and helps to clear the liver and bile ducts.

A mixture of lemon juice with olive oil is prepared in a 1: 1 ratio, it should be drunk in the morning, on an empty stomach. After that, you can eat only after half an hour. Such treatment should be carried out by courses, the duration of which is best determined together with the doctor. On average, it is recommended to take a cleansing mixture for 3-4 weeks, after which it is necessary to take a break for a month. Remember that such clearing procedures have contraindications. They can not be used for diseases of the digestive tract( gastritis, pancreatitis, ulcer, cholecystitis).

Benefits and harms of the

procedure When carrying out cleansing activities, it is necessary to remember that cleaning the liver, like any medical procedure, has not only indications, but also contraindications. Do not use medications if there are bowel diseases that can interfere with pre-cleaning. If the patient is contraindicated to skip meals, and even less to starve during the day, then the liver is not worth cleaning.

It is also not possible to carry out this procedure during pregnancy and lactation. This is also associated with the need for a preliminary cleansing of the intestines, which includes therapeutic starvation. These measures can negatively affect the state of health of a woman, and during pregnancy, so it is better to wait with the cleaning of the liver.

Another contraindication is exacerbation of chronic diseases, as well as abdominal pain of unknown origin. During this period, cleaning the liver is simply dangerous, since curative fasting can weaken the strength of the body, and a warm water bottle with abdominal pain can trigger a weighting of the symptoms of various diseases.

Important specification: with already developed hepatitis, and even more so fibrosis or cirrhosis, cleaning measures and reception of hepatoprotectors are insufficient for treatment, a set of measures is necessary under the guidance of a qualified physician-hepatologist or infectious disease specialist. Nevertheless, it is possible to apply these methods in case of liver diseases with the permission of the doctor, as they improve the state of health and give strength to fight the disease.

If in the morning after the cleansing procedures there is weakness, abdominal pain and other unpleasant symptoms, this is a sign that this method of prevention is not suitable for a particular patient, you need to choose another, and it is best to do this after consulting a doctor.

In general, reviews about liver cleansing are positive. The result of cleaning procedures is the improvement of health and digestion, mood and performance. The skin, hair and nails look healthier, and the patient generally notes a higher quality of life. An important condition for obtaining a positive effect is the regularity of application and the correctness of the preliminary preparation. Otherwise, the effectiveness of preventive measures will be very low.

I periodically, several times a year, I clean the intestines and liver. And after that comes such ease, I just fly, I feel fine. To maintain the health of the liver I drink courses decoctions of cholagogue grasses, I do tjubazh with sorbitol. Very good helps the decoction of oats, only from whole grains, and not their flakes. You can buy them in specialized "health departments" in supermarkets. I try not to drink medicines, I manage with folk remedies, and I advise everyone to refuse chemical preparations and maintain health with herbs and natural ingredients.

Review №2

Recently, it did not feel right, and my friend convinced me that you need to clean the liver and intestines. Advised me to drink a mixture of lemon juice with olive oil. The taste of this composition is simply disgusting, it took him 3 days, and after that the stomach began to ache heavily. The doctor said that such experiments are contraindicated for me. I have gastritis, and I had to drink an explosive mixture on an empty stomach. So instead of good, I got health problems.
