Detoxification of the Liver and Organs
Key organs involved in different stages of detoxification
Detox essentially means – cleansing the body of toxins. Our bodies can accumulate many different toxins. However, they can also originate within the body – for example, mycotoxins produced by parasites, which are actually their waste products.
Key organs involved in different stages of detoxification
The main organs involved in different stages of detoxification
Kidneys and liver are extremely important for filtering blood and nutrients. Digestive organs, especially the large intestine, are important for maintaining a healthy mucous membrane that filters the entry of substances into the body.
Kidneys and liver retain microscopic particles and prevent their entry into the body, while digestive organs, especially the large intestine, are important for maintaining a healthy mucous membrane that filters the entry of substances into the body. It is important to know that skin gland secretions can help remove impurities, but in case of injury, they can reach the lymph nodes and immune cells.
The liver – the key detoxification organ
The liver is the central organ for cleansing: it filters blood and removes toxins, produces white blood cells, stores and stimulates the production of bile, which participates in digestion. Bile is stored in the gallbladder and goes to the duodenum.
In size, it is almost the same as the brain (≈1.5 kg) and performs over 300 functions: filtering toxins from the blood, production and transport of bile, regulation of sugar levels, processing of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, production of hormones and enzymes, breakdown of food… Bile is stored in the gallbladder and goes to the duodenum, where it alkalizes the content and aids further breakdown. The liver can neutralize about 9 g of alcohol per hour.
Excessive amounts of food and alcohol can cause the liver to swell and harden, so it’s not recommended to consume: flour products, sugar, tropical fruits and vegetables, raw foods, and stimulants.
When the liver is burdened by chemotherapy, medication, diet, or stress, the consequences are felt through jaundice and cancer. When overloaded, it can lead to jaundice and cancer.
Therefore, liver and organ detoxification is crucial for those undergoing treatment. It is important to focus on the intestinal tract and liver. Detoxification is not recommended for pregnant women, as toxins can affect the developing embryo.
Here are the most effective natural herbs that aid this process.
