Health Remedies - Liver Congestion |
|
|
Liver congestion is caused by toxic overload, it is unable to detoxify the bloodstream effectively. When the liver is congested, the toxins circulate in the bloodstream and can enter into the brain, nervous system or other organs. When the liver tries to expel the poisons forced on it, the burden goes to the kidneys which then causes additional congestion. Constipation prevents the liver from eliminating toxins. The liver can also become congested by an excess of fat, sugar, alcohol, white flour products, and chemicals found in the water, food, and air. |
