Overview
Performing any type of cleanse can be taxing--not on the organ you want to rid of toxins, but on your taste buds and in some cases your bowels. Cleaning the liver is especially useful as this important organ aids in the breakdown of toxins and other environmental deposits that can leave build up and other damage.
Step 1
Select a 24- to 48-hour period to allow the body to complete the homemade liver cleanse process. Avoid taking any medications 24 hours prior or during the cleanse. Limit all other morning food to fruits, juices and water.
Step 2
Combine 3 tbsp. of Epsom salts with 3 cups of water. Divide among four cups and consume one cup at 2 p.m. Consume the second cup four hours later and then the third cup two hours later.
Step 3
Briskly combine 1/2 cup of olive oil and 3/4 cup of grapefruit juice. Consume exactly two hours from the last cup of Epsom salts and water mixture. To combat nausea, follow the mixture with a cup of vegetable juice or bread.
Step 4
Rest the body for a 20- to 30-minute period or retire for the evening.
Step 5
Wake up the next morning and immediately consume the fourth cup of Epson salts and water mixture.
Step 6
Consume beans, oats and wheatgerm and add Arginine, a herb that detoxes the liver naturally, to your diet.
Step 7
Aid liver function with Vitamin K, found in such green vegetable as spinach and greens; selenium, which can be purchased in the supplemental form at your local pharmacy, and sulfur, found in onions, garlic and broccoli.
