A Simple Liver Detox:
Creating Change for the Warmer Months Ahead
As we transition into the warmer months, it’s an ideal time to focus on liver health and detoxification. At Beattie Street Health Studio, we believe in the power of combining traditional wisdom with modern nutritional science to support your body’s natural cleansing processes. Let’s explore a simple liver detox plan and some beneficial Chinese herbal supplements to help you feel refreshed and revitalised for the season ahead.
Understanding Liver Health
The liver plays a crucial role in detoxification, metabolism, and overall health. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the liver is associated with the wood element and the Spring season, making this the perfect time for a gentle cleanse.
Simple Liver Detox Plan
Hydration: Start your day with warm lemon water or apple cider vinegar to stimulate liver function and aid digestion. Half a lemon juice into warm water or a cap full of apple cider vinegar with a cup of warm water.
Nutrition:
Incorporate liver-supporting foods such as leafy greens, beetroot, garlic, and turmeric into your daily diet - check out the Liver Cleanse Smoothie Recipe.
Reduce processed foods, alcohol, and excessive caffeine.
Enjoy liver-friendly teas like dandelion root or milk thistle.
Movement: Engage in gentle exercises like yoga to promote circulation and support liver function. Book our Yin & Pins Class.
Rest: Ensure adequate sleep (7-9 hours) to allow your liver to perform its nightly detoxification processes. For sleep issues, get Acupuncture.
Mindfulness: Practice stress-reduction techniques like meditation or light low and slow breathing to support overall liver health. Book a Breathwork Class
