We all want beautiful skin; a nice figure and overall good health, but we sometimes don’t put together how important it is to care for our liver to gain these assets. The liver is an organ that has over 500 functions. The liver is the largest gland in the body. It’s the only organ that can regenerate itself after injury. It is responsible for filtering all the blood that goes through the body. It manufactures cholesterol. It produces substances that break down fats. The liver has also been called “the organ of emotions.”
Medications, poor diet, air pollution, environment and over use of alcohol can damage the liver. Just as we work hard to maintain our new cars for longer life we have to remember to care for our livers. A sluggish liver can lead to serious fatigue, weight gain, water retention and other health issues. Certain herbs can build and cleanse the liver helping it to function better. This will help with regularity, bloating and flatulence. Combined with a good herbal colon cleanse, herbs such as Dandelion root, Horsetail herb, Yellow dock root and Blessed thistle herb can cleanse, detoxify and nourish, and provide support to gastrointestinal tract.
Make sure you purchase your herbal supplements from a company that provides top quality supplements and has a serious quality control department.

Great title! Thanks for an interesting and informative health article. The liver is something that usually isn't discussed that much. People still need to know and be aware.
Very interesting article. Will have to check out these herbs and adjust some habits! Thanks for the information.
Great article! I agree: we forget what an important job our livers do to keep our bloodstreams clean :)
