Alcohol, Stress, & the Liver.

* * * 

The liver is in need of TLC (tender loving care) with all the stress and toxins we live with in this world. These two elements can have great negative effect on the liver causing serious damage and discomfort. Toxins come from many different places... medications, air pollution, foods, pesticides, radiation, soil & water pollution, lack of exercise, stress caused by negative emotions, stress from physical pain, stress from mental anguish, stress from the lack of spiritual awareness, lack of adequate sleep, and more... Unfortunately many people turn to alcohol to help relieve the stress of life. This actually adds tremendous stress on the liver and can even result in cirrhosis causing a whole lot more stress in life... and on goes the cycle of stress. We can stop this cycle and make small changes that have a big effect!


First of all, the liver is the largest internal organ of the body. It is located in the upper abdomen and helps with digestion, produces cholesterol used to make several hormones and cellular membranes, removes waste products and old cells from the blood, and metabolizes harmful substances and toxins into harmless chemicals. 
Now this is amazing... the liver actually has amazing regenerative ability. Left with as little as 25% of it's original mass, the liver can re-grow what was lost and return to normal size!! Wow! Do we understand what this means? The liver is forgiving so long as we do our part! 


From a phytonutrient standpoint, essential oils are the best thing for liver support. We can start regenerating healthy cells for a better life. A nutricianal cleanse is the best start followed by a cleanse with clove, geranium, helichrysum, and myrrh. After a cleanse, proper nutrician, daily exercise, stress management, and a proactive approach to our personal health care is the solution. Healthy liver, healthy life!

Oils for Liver Support: Geranium, helichrysum, digest zen, cypress, grapefruit, myrrh, serenity, roman chamomile, frankincense, rose, melaleuca, rosemary, oregano, thyme, basil, cinnamon, cypress, eucalyptus, peppermint, and basil.
