Whether it's after overeating during the holiday season, to keep your body toned and healthy, or to slim down through drainage, it's important to purify your body and put your liver to rest. Let's take a look at how to regenerate this essential organ of the body and encourage the elimination of toxins from the body based on the benefits of natural ingredients.
Today, people are increasingly exposed to ingesting harmful elements which, when they come into contact with the body's cells, cause imbalances. Draining and cleansing the body is therefore a fundamental part of a healthy lifestyle. Seasonal or occasional botanical cures are a way of naturally eliminating the toxins present, particularly through the liver.
A diet too rich in sugars and saturated fats, sometimes combined with alcohol consumption, increases the workload on the liver, which is detrimental to health. The liver is essential to the digestive system and is self-regulating, but toxins and harmful substances (tobacco, malnutrition, pesticides, heavy metals) can slow down its functioning and that of the body as a whole.
Cleansing the liver enables:
Depurative cures can be taken at any time, after a period of fatigue or during a change of season. They constitute a programme to rebalance the diet and avoid deficiencies. However, the ideal time to purify the body is in early spring, to eliminate the toxins accumulated over the winter, or between seasons, to prepare the body for changes in diet. These dietary changes also have a beneficial effect on general health. Liver cleansing can improve digestive problems, boost energy levels and improve sleep quality.
Caring for the digestive system by eliminating toxins also helps to relieve certain organs such as the kidneys and gallbladder. The key to successfully cleansing the body is a balanced, healthy diet that focuses on foods that are good for liver function. This means fewer animal-based products, less sugar and more vegetables and fruit rich in fibre, minerals and antioxidants.
The main examples of ingredients used in trendy cures:
To achieve these objectives of draining and eliminating toxins from the body, we have selected our ingredients in such a way as to optimise the depurative actions of the digestive, urinary and circulatory systems and to embellish and balance the skin: increasing transit, stimulating the work of the liver and blood circulation, but also preserving the supply of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, essential fatty acids, etc.
Here are the plants available from Natural Origins to optimise the depurative action of the following systems:
To promote digestion
To protect the liver
For liver stimulation and drainage
Combining turmeric, lemon and ginger is an ideal example of a formulation using botanicals that are recommended for cleansing the liver: turmeric provides its benefits, lemon cleanses the body and facilitates transit, and ginger strengthens the immune system.
