Read this article to know more about the process and benefits of liver cleansing.
The liver is the largest and one of the most vital internal organs present in the human body. It helps in breaking down environmental and external toxins that enter our body while we breathe and eat, along with all the toxins that are produced in our body during the normal metabolic processes. Over exposure of liver to toxins will result in headaches, muscle pain, skin irritations, mental confusion, poor coordination, and emotional imbalances.
Stones are formed in the liver, though this is not as common as gallbladder stones. Further, toxic overload causes liver overload the result of which is that the liver is unable to detoxify the bloodstream effectively. This starts a vicious circle as the toxins in the blood that are not removed circulate through the brain, nervous system and other internal organs. To complicate the entire process further, when the liver in this condition tries to expel the toxins, the kidneys are overload and this causes additional congestion.
