The liver is an amazing organ. While it regenerates easily, it also has a direct impact on our health and well-being. Dull complexion, fatigue, acne, digestion problemsAnd what if it was your liver that was saying "Stop" to excess? Here are 3 natural solutions to cleanse your liver:

N°1: Food

Everything we eat and drink has a direct impact on this organ. So it's vital to do a liver detox (preferably between seasons) to help it evacuate toxins. What's on the menu?

• Artichoke aids digestion by stimulating the secretion of bile by the liver. It's also an anti-hangover ally!
• Black radish is the plant for sluggish livers! It helps drain the liver and gallbladder, eliminating toxins and waste.
• Also known as the "great cleanser", dandelion is a powerful diuretic that cleanses the entire body by eliminating accumulated toxins.
• Turmeric is a powerful detoxifier that protects and regenerates damaged livers.
• Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, kale and Brussels sprouts rid the liver of toxins.
• Beet helps fight toxins and cleanses the liver thoroughly.
• Herbal teas and green tea are also recommended for cleansing this organ.
• Lemon is an excellent digestive tonic and depurative. In addition to its many antibacterial and antiseptic properties, it is remarkably effective in stimulating, draining and regenerating the liver. As a treatment, we recommend drinking the juice of one fresh lemon mixed with hot water every morning.

No. 2: The Yogas

Certain yoga postures purify the body. How does it work? It's very simple: twisting, combined with proper breathing, detoxifies the body. Twisting compresses the organs (which helps expel toxin-laden blood). Then, by releasing the torsion, oxygenated blood irrigates the organ. Whether practised sitting or standing, the various postures promote blood circulation and thus stimulate the organs and their associated glands!

N°3: Foot reflexology

Foot reflexology can be a real boost to your dietary detox. In Chinese medicine, the liver is said to be the "General of the Army". By pressing on reflex points under the arch of the foot, the practitioner can reactivate bladder functions, boost liver, spleen and kidney functions, and help the stomach to unwind.

Everything you need to know before starting your detox programme

During a detox cureIt is advisable to rest and relax, as the liver is sensitive to fatigue and stress. Also try to cut out alcoholic beverages (and stop smoking if you can), eat small quantities (avoiding red meat, sweets, cheese, bread, milk, coffee and chocolate), choose vegetable fats (such as rapeseed or walnut oil), drink plenty of water, eat a diet rich in fruit and vegetables, and exercise for at least 30 minutes a day.
