We can use essential oils to clear toxins from the body, help support our organs and keep our bodies functioning at an optimum level. If we are overloaded with toxins, our health and vitality can suffer. So it’s important that our Liver is working properly and not overloaded by the burdens of toxicity from our modern lifestyles.
The use of essential oil to support the Liver can be a part of a Liver detox or cleanse. Our liver can become stressed if we overload our system with pollutants or toxins. Some toxins that are all around us that can impact Liver Heath include:
Pesticides, detergents, food additives, antibiotics, added hormones in our food, chemicals, plastics, heavy metals, air pollution, and vaccines.
Being exposed to these toxins can lead to long term health complications. If our liver is overly stressed this can possibly lead to:
