Why liver flush?
Our liver (the largest internal organ) is perhaps the most congested of all organs in our body. Pesticides, food additives, hydrogenated fat, fried food, alcohol, smoking, synthetics found in household, beauty and personal care products and medicines, etc can all disrupt the hundreds of intricate biochemical processes in the liver. 

Radiation exposure from mobile phones, computers, especially wireless devices is another silent liver killer. As most of us are spending lots of time using these devices, it has become a critical health issue.

Liver disharmony is closely associated with emotional stress such as anger, impatience, frustration, hatred and anxiety. Such emotions can increase blood acid level and intoxicate the liver.

When do you do it?
It is hardly possible to avoid both environmental and emotional harms, hence, a liver cleansing has become essential.
You may practice this REtreat once every 3 months.

HELPFUL TIPS:
1. Liver performs at its peak from 1am to 3am. Overworking, sleeping or eating too late will interfere with liver detoxification. Practice taking early dinner,eating smaller portions and sleeping before 10pm are best for your liver. 
2. Liver is the warmest organ of our body. Hot compress using yarrow or chamomiletea improves liver health. Begin with once daily for a week, followed by 3 times a week for another month.
3. Eat high fibre foods to prevent constipation. Toxic waste stuck in the colon can be reabsorbed into the blood stream, causing self-poisoning and further burden to the liver. 
4. Liver purifying food: 
• Artichoke
• Dandelion tea 
• Yarrow tea 
• Bitter melon tea
• Milk thistle seeds
• Fenugreek seeds 
• Turmeric powder 
• Organic wheat grass, barley grass and chlorella—the richest source of chlorophyll. Excellent to purify blood and to nourish your liver. It is recommended to consumebefore dinner. For better results, take before every meal. It is recommended to take one serving every 2 hours when you work late at night
