Your liver is responsible for the breakdown of excess hormones in the body, so improving your liver function is central to hormonal health. Reduce your intake of foods that are hard on the liver: animal foods including meat, cheese, cream and ice cream; coffee, alcohol, sugar, chocolate, peanuts and any highly processed foods.
The cleansing properties of onions and garlic also help to remove excess hormones from the liver. Squeezing lemon juice into your drinking water helps stimulate liver activity. Fibrous nuts and seeds such as linseeds and almonds help bind liver toxins for elimination via the bowel. They're also rich sources of omega 3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) which help stabilise mood swings caused by hormonal dysfunction. Green 'super foods' such as chlorella or spirulina and organic vegetable juices are some other good liver stimulating agents.
I'm going to try a liver detox for the 1st time. Do you stop all topicals in addition to the oral phyto's? I use PM cream, Progesterone cream & a cream with Volufiline. I'm so terrified of losing the little gains that I have attained.
Thanks
