Liver Detox Tea : Best Recipe For Liver Cleanse You Can Make At Home

best teas for detoxing liver

As a part of our liver cleanse protocol, we spent a lot of time researching for the best liver detox tea remedies and recipes. We looked into historical traditional use, modern research data, reviews, benefits and side effects.

The liver detox tea evidence based recipe below offers a great natural way to support your liver and gallbladder health. We focused on safe and effective ingredients you can easily find at your local store.

We hope this recipe and review will help you in your journey for a safe effective and happy cleanse.

Liver Detox Tea Ingredients : Summary Of Evidence

Quick links: Recipe, side effects, benefits.

What Is The Best Tea To Detox The Liver?

Most liver detox tea products you get at the store, include a combination of common liver herbs, especially the top liver cleansing herbs: milk thistle seed, chanca piedra, borotutu bark, greater celandine, chicory root, dandelion root, turmeric, peppermint, and others.

Are these liver detox tea a good and safe option to cleanse your liver? Not exactly. Not always.

Liver Detox Tea Side Effects

Safety wise, there are reports of side effects and issues. The medical literature report cases of patients that had liver toxicity after they consumed liver detox teas. Moreover, many liver detox teas contain ingredients that have very little research on their effectiveness for liver cleansing, or safety in general. Other contain problematic ingredients that can cause stress to the liver.

Other reviews mention side effects such as digestive issues, diarrhea, excess gas, bloating and headaches. While a few practitioners explain these as temporary liver detox symptoms, we do not believe these discomforts are necessary. In our experience, you do not need to feel bad before you feel good.

The first key takeaway: if you consider to use a liver cleanse tea, get it from a trusted safe source, ideally that is specialized in cleansing.

Liver Detox Tea Benefits

As a part of our liver cleanse protocol, we tested a large number of liver herbs. The results have not being consistent. This is very common when it comes to natural herbs, since there are many factors that can impact the potency of the herbs. The origin of the herbs, their freshness, harvesting time, and many other factors can all impact the concentration of the active ingredients and effectiveness of the herbs.

In our testing, we didn’t see a big difference in the cleanse results after we used liver detox tea products. Liver herb extracts usually work better. The only exception was when we used fresh organic liver herbs. We literally took these from the ground and made a tea a day after. Fresh liver herbs, however, are usually not available to most people.

Liver Detox Tea Recipe

The liver detox tea recipe below offers a great natural way to support your liver and gallbladder health. We focused on safe and effective ingredients you can easily find at your local store.

Considering that most liver cleanse drinks are cold, many people prefer to also drink something hot during the liver cleanse, especially in the winter or as a healthy alternative to other hot beverages.

Liver Detox Tea : Top Tips From Our Members

  • Cinnamon & Clove:
    Both choices show in studies potential as a natural way to support liver health, with some concerns about cinnamon (See evidence below).
    Taste wise, both add a very strong taste to the tea. Some people love the way they taste, others may not.
    For this reason, if you usually don’t like the way cinnamon or clove taste, do not add them to the recipe. If you like to try, always start with very small serving size, and adjust based on the way the tea tastes.
  • Stevia vs. Honey:
    Both options have evidence (see below) on safety and even effectiveness to promote liver health. We prefer stevia over honey, as it doesn’t have any calories or impact on blood sugar levels. If you choose honey, we recommend to prefer organic raw and local.

Liver Detox Tea : Summary Of Evidence

Ginger

ginger Liver Detox Tea

Ginger has a long history of use as a natural remedy for digestive issues such as constipation, bloating, indigestion, nausea and vomiting. When you cleanse your liver, you want to make sure your digestion system works well so it can effectively eliminate any toxins released from the liver during the cleanse.

Specifically to liver, the research data suggests that ginger can improve liver enzymes profile and other nonalcoholic fatty liver disease characteristics [1].

Lemon

lemon Liver Detox Tea

There are many reasons to include lemon in your liver cleanse tea, juice or in fact in any detox recipe you make. The first reason, is that lemon juice can enhance the body’s overall ability to detox and cleanse. Naturally, safely and effectively.

As for the liver detox benefits of lemon, the research suggests that lemon juice can regulate elevated levels of serum ALT and AST liver enzymes as well as triacylglycerol and lipid peroxidation in the liver [2].

Clove

clove liver cleanse tea

If you like the way cloves taste, you may want to include cloves in the liver detox tea. The research data suggests that Eugenol, one of clove’s main active ingredients, has a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to decrease oxidative stress and protect the liver against injury. [3].

Another reason to add clove to the liver detox tea, is that clove is well known for its antibacterial and antifungal properties, which may be helpful during the cleanse. [4].

Cinnamon : Good or Bad For The Liver?

Cinnamon liver detox tea

Taste wise, cinnamon compliments very well the flavor of clove. But is cinnamon a good option for the liver cleanse? The evidence in this case, is not conclusive.

Benefits

On one hand, cinnamon comes with a very long history of traditional use that is also supported by modern research. The data suggests that cinnamon may have therapeutic benefits on lipid profile, liver enzymes, insulin resistance in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease patients.  One study suggests that taking 1500 mg cinnamon daily may help to improve nonalcoholic fatty liver characteristics.  [5].

Concerns

There are however, some concerns regarding potential liver toxicity of cinnamon. These concerns are linked to cinnamon’s active ingredient, coumarin. And here’s the challenge. The recommended safe daily intake of cinnamon is 0.1 mg/kg/day. For a 200 pounds male of female, this means 9 mg of cinnamon a day. Obviously, this means that most people who consume cinnamon easily exceed this amount.

A study that further tested this concern in the traditional Japanese herbal medicine (Kampo medicine), found no cases of abnormal liver function in patients that exceeded the recommended daily intake. [6].

The bottom line

Cinnamon is a very popular natural spice, that can add a lot of flavor to your recipes, along with health benefits.

If you like the way it tastes, you can continue to use cinnamon. You may want however, to take breaks just to be on a safe side. Another option for you to consider, is ceylon cinnamon. Also known as “true cinnamon”, this type of cinnamon has much less coumarin content compared to the cassia cinnamon type.

If you have concerns about your liver health, or do not like the taste of cinnamon, we do not see a reason to start adding it to your recipes. There are better and safer ways to detox and cleanse your liver.
At least until the medical community will conduct more studies on the question of cinnamon – liver toxicity.

Stevia

Stevia liver detox tea

Stevia is a natural sweetener that is made from the leaves of the plant species Stevia rebaudiana. The biggest benefit of stevia over honey, is that it has zero calories with very minimal impact of blood sugar levels.

For this reason, we usually prefer to use stevia over other sweeteners including honey. If you like the way stevia taste, stevia may be a very good option to sweeten your recipes.

As for the liver benefits of stevia, the research data suggest that stevia can prevent oxidative stress in the liver and may be useful for acute and chronic liver diseases. [7].
On that note, there is definitely a need for more studies to confirm such a strong claim. The evidence does suggest, however, the potential of stevia as a safe option.

A few comments about stevia:

  • When you use stevia, little goes a long way. Stevia is just very sweet. Just add a few drops and see how the tea tastes.
  • Always look for 100% pure stevia on the label. Many stevia products also contain other ingredients.
  • Some stevia products have a bitter aftertaste. It is best to choose a stevia product that removes the components that cause the bitter taste when they extract the stevia. You can usually see this on the label.

Honey

Honey liver detox tea

Not everyone likes stevia. We see it very clearly in our testing. If you are not happy with the way stevia taste, honey may offer a very good natural option to sweeten the liver detox tea.

While most people think of honey as a natural sweetener, Honey does have a long history of traditional use as medicine for many centuries [8].

Research data suggests that honey can increase the nitric oxide levels in the liver tissues, which can protect the liver against damage. [9].
The data also suggests that honey may also have a protective effect for diabetes, respiratory, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and nervous systems issues [10].

On that note, a quick reminder. 1 tablespoon of honey has 17 grams of sugars. Something to consider if this is a concern to you.

Top Tips From Our Members

  • Cinnamon:
    Many of our members like to add a dash of cinnamon. While this is mainly for flavor,  the research data does suggest that cinnamon may have antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. Some researchers sees cinnamon as a promising alternative source of natural antimicrobial [1].
  • Ginger Juice:
    Adding ginger juice to the recipe is another popular add-on many of our members like to do. The popular honey-lemon-ginger combination tastes very good to most people. Besides the taste, another reason you may want to add ginger juice do the drink, is that ginger juice is a well known home remedy for parasites in humans. Ginger demonstrated significant antimicrobial and antibacterial  activity against different pathogens in multiple studies [2].
  • Cayenne pepper:
    Some of our members like to add a dash of ground cayenne pepper. Either in order to add a nice kick to the drink, or as a healthier alternative to the master cleanse lemonade recipe. We get many questions on this topic, and we tested it extensively. A lot of people like the cayenne kick flavor. Quite a few people, however, experience stomach pain after they add cayenne pepper to the drink. For this reason, if you want to try the cayenne pepper option, start with just a dash to see if you can tolerate the cayenne on an empty stomach. Another much safer option, is to add the cayenne to the salad dressing version (see below).

Summary Of Evidence

Below you will find a summary of the scientific evidence for each of the ingredients in the apple cider vinegar parasite cleanse recipes:

Does Apple Cider Vinegar Get Rid Of Intestinal Parasites?

Does apple cider vinegar get rid of intestinal parasites?

Vinegar has a long history of traditional use as a medicine to fight parasitic infections in humans. Historical records report that Hippocrates, the father of medicine, used apple cider vinegar with honey to treat infections.

Modern science was able to validate this use and the antiparasitic and antimicrobial properties of vinegar [3].

Specifically to apple cider vinegar, one study evaluated its antibacterial and antifungal activity against E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans. According to the study [4]:

Apple cider vinegar demonstrated multiple antimicrobial potential with clinical therapeutic implications. ACV was able to destroy the structural proteins and metabolic enzymes of the pathogens tested.

Another study that tested the antifungal activity of apple cider vinegar against candida, a well known fungal parasite in humans, also found it effective [5].

Lemon Juice : Overall Body Cleanse

lemon apple cider vinegar parasite cleanse

Lemon juice is a very popular detox ingredient that can promote healthy digestion and detoxification. Drinking warm water with lemon juice in the morning is an ancient Ayurvedic practice to stimulate digestion and detox the body. According to research, lemon juice may also support the liver [6] and kidneys [7].

Raw Local Honey : Natural Sweetener & Antiparasitic

Honey apple cider vinegar parasite cleanse

The use of honey as a traditional remedy for microbial infections dates back to ancient times. This use is also validated by modern science. Honey demonstrated effectiveness against several human parasites and pathogens, including E. coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, and Staphylococcus aureus [8].

Olive Oil

olive oil apple cider vinegar parasite cleanse

With thousands of years of traditional use as food and medicine, olive oil is well known for its remarkable nutritional value and health benefits[9].

Parasite cleansing wise, the research data does suggest that olive oil have natural antimicrobial and antiparasitic properties. In multiple studies, olive oil demonstrated antimicrobial activity against different types of bacteria, viruses, and other human infections. The researchers believe that different constituents of olive can slow down the growth of various types of bacteria and fungi [10].

Garlic : Nature’s Natural Antibiotic

Garlic apple cider vinegar parasite cleanse

Garlic is another famous natural ingredient you see in many parasite cleanse protocols. Allicin, the active component of garlic, demonstrated strong antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties in multiple studies [11,12].

The research data also suggests that fresh raw garlic is more potent than cooked or boiled garlic [13], and is higher in bioactive components [14].

Allicin becomes available when you cut, crush or chew the garlic, but is highly unstable, and may change quickly [15]. For this reason, we recommend to consume the garlic shortly after you crush it.

Low Carb Chocolate Mousse Detox Recipe : Benefits

When we developed the low carb chocolate mousse detox recipe, we focused on both taste and health benefits. Below are the main benefits, with links to the published studies when applicable.

Low Carbs Doesn’t Mean Low Energy

The low carb mousse recipe includes different nutrients that boost your energy levels. We strategically used fast and slow acting ingredients, so you get both the quick energy boost with the sustained energy that may last for many hours as well.

The coconut butter and cacao have unique nutrients the body can quickly digest and utilize, so you feel the energy boost shortly after you eat the mousse. The energy from the nuts and seeds will come hours later.

Fiber & Gut Health

The importance of dietary fiber for overall health is well known, especially to promote intestinal regularity and healthy digestion. The average fiber intake in the US, however, is less than half of the recommended levels [1].

The daily value for fiber is 25 grams per day (based on a 2,000 calorie diet). This recipe provides you with 21 grams of fiber. No fiber supplements, no powders. Just natural whole foods.

This is very important. The research data suggests that high intake of dietary fiber can significantly reduce the risk for developing certain gastrointestinal diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, duodenal ulcer, diverticulitis, constipation, and hemorrhoids. A diet high in fiber may also reduce the risk to develop coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, and obesity [2].

Furthermore, the low carb chocolate mousse is high in soluble fiber, which can act as prebiotic, a food source for the healthy bacteria in the gut. This means that it can promote the growth of probiotic and contribute to better gut health [3].

Natural Cleansing & Detoxification

All our detox recipes are specifically designed to help the body to naturally cleanse and detox. The low carb chocolate mousse recipe is no exception.

In addition to the soluble fiber, the recipe is also high in insoluble fiber.

Insoluble fiber doesn’t dissolve in water, and can pass through the gut largely intact [4]. This fiber adds bulk to the stool which can help to promote regular healthy bowel movement.

Think about insoluble fiber as rough brooms inside your colon that grabs accumulated waste buildup and toxins on their way out.

The recipe also includes natural antimicrobial and antifungal ingredients such as coconut oil and cinnamon, which can help they body to get rid of parasites, candida yeasts and other pathogens.

Inflammation: The Omega-3 / Omega-6 Fatty Acids Ratio

Both omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids are essential and are needed to support good health. A growing number of evidence, however, suggests that excessive amounts of omega 6 fatty acids in the diet can lead to inflammatory, autoimmune, cardiovascular diseases, and may increase the risk to develop cancer.

According to research, western diets are deficient in omega-3 fatty acids, and have excessive amounts of omega-6 fatty acids. In comparison, human beings evolved on a diet with equal amounts of omega-6 to omega-3 essential fatty acids. In the average western diet, however, the amount of omega-6 is up to 15 times more than the omega-3.

Multiple studies suggest that proper omega-6/omega-3 ratio may be able to decrease risk for breast cancer, cardiovascular disease, suppress inflammation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis,  beneficial effect on patients with asthma [5].

We addressed both concerns in the low carb chocolate mousse recipe:

  1. Omega 3 : 8 grams (500% of your daily values).
  2. Omega 6: 11.5 grams (68% of your daily values).

The Nutrients In The Low Carb Chocolate Mousse

Low Carb Chocolate Mousse Miracle Nutrition Label

The Ingredients In The Low Carb Chocolate Mousse

Below is a summary of the scientific evidence on the ingredient in the recipe.

Chia Seeds

Chia Seeds carb chocolate mousse

Chia seeds have a long history of traditional use for over 5,500 years, and were one of the most important staple foods in the the diet of Mayas and Aztecs [5].

The research data suggests that chia seeds are an excellent source of alpha-linolenic acid omega-3 fatty acid (ALA), vegetable protein, dietary fiber, antioxidants, and important minerals [6].

When you put chia in water or other liquids, they form a gel within 5-10 minutes. This is a very popular way to make pouding, mousse recipes, and also to thicken smoothies and soups. Once in gel form, the body can digests the chia seeds without the need to blend.

Chia seeds are also well known to promote satiation. A study that had 24 young women add chia seeds to their breakfast, concluded that chia seed consumption may induce short-term satiety in healthy individuals [7].

Coconut

Coconut low carb chocolate mousse

Coconut butter is the meat of the coconut after it goes through grinding process that turns the coconut meat into butter consistency. So you get both the coconut oil, and in addition, the other nutrients in the coconut meat.

The reason we included coconut butter as a part of the recipe, has to do with a few unique characteristic of coconut: cleansing, antifungal, anti microbial, energy, and flavor.

Cleansing, Antifungal, Antimicrobial

Coconut oil is well known for its antimicrobial and antifungal properties, and demonstrated significant antifungal activity against candida yeast and other pathogens [8, 9].

Energy

Coconut oil is a rich source of medium-chain triglycerides, commonly known as MCT oils. These oils are different from most oils in the way the body digests them. The body can utilize the MCT oils much quicker to significantly boost the energy levels.

This is a well known use of coconut oil you can see in many low carbs dietary protocols such as keto diet, pre workout supplements, and as a way to improve exercise performance [10].

For this reason, many nutrition experts consider MCT oil as one of the best alternative energy sources to carbs.

Flavor & Texture

Flavor & texture wise, coconut butter adds a creamy mousse like texture, with a rich full coconut flavor into the recipe.

Cacao

cacao low carb chocolate mousse

For most people chocolate is a treat. For many people who try to stay healthy, however, chocolate may be one of these forbidden foods.

Good new. Chocolate may me good for you after all. What gives chocolate the bad rap, is that most of the chocolate products you find at the store, contain high amount of sugars, and low quality heavily processed cacao beans.

According to research, however, cacao has more phenolic antioxidants than most foods. Multiple studies suggest that cacao consumption may help to protect nerves from injury and inflammation, and improve satiety, cognitive function, and mood [11, 12].

Due to these benefits, many health experts recommend to consume cacao on an ongoing basis.

It is important to remember the difference between chocolate and cacao: chocolate is made from the beans and seeds of the cacao tree, together with other ingredients that may not be as healthy. Cacao, on the other hand, has been consumed for many centuries in its natural unprocessed form.

We recommended to use raw organic cacao powder as a part of this recipe.

Nuts : Hazelnuts

hazelnuts low carb chocolate mousse

Many studies suggest that nuts have nutritional characteristics that can benefit human health and prevent many diseases. When you introduce nuts into your diet on an ongoing basis, you significantly increase in the quality of the diet. Nuts are rich in essential fatty acids, protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and bioactive compounds with antioxidant potential [13].

Unlike carbs that often cause a quick energy boost followed by a crash when the blood sugars drop, the energy you get from nuts and seeds in more subtle and can last much longer. For this reason, nuts play a key role in many low carb diets, as an alternative source of fuel.

Why hazelnuts?

When we made the low carb chocolate mousse, we tested different nuts and seeds. The combination that our testers liked the most, was the hazelnuts – coconut butter – cacao. Second place – pecans, third place – cashews.

As for the health benefits of hazelnuts, out of the different options of nuts, they have one of the best balance profile of fatty acids. So if you are looking to control the levels of omega 6 in your diet, but still enjoy the health benefits of nuts, hazelnuts are an excellent choice. Hazelnuts make a very good source of vitamin E, copper, magense, and other minerals.

Not surprisingly, the research data suggests that hazelnuts may improve inflammatory markers and reduce the risk to develop cardiovascular risk [14]. One study that tested the combination of hazelnuts and cacao, found that this combination improved the artery blood flow in smokers [15].

Hemp Seeds

Hemp Seeds

The are two reasons we recommend to include hemp seeds as a part of the low carb chocolate mousse recipe.

The first reason is the nutrients in hemp seeds. The nutritional profile is simply exceptional. Similar to chia seeds, hemp seeds are one of the only plant sources of alpha-linolenic acid omega-3 fatty acid (ALA). Hemp seeds are also very high in easily to digest high quality protein [16, 17].

Just to give you an idea, when you eat 1 oz of hemp seeds (the amount in this recipe), you get:

  • 9 grams of protein.
  • 3 grams of omega 3.
  • Over 40% of your daily values or iron, magnesium, manganese and phosphorus.
  • Over 25% of your daily values of zinc, and B1.

And the carbs? less than 1 grams of net carbs.

The second reason we like hemp seeds, is their taste and texture. Hemp seeds bring a very mild nutty flavor and a fluffy texture to the recipe. You can blend them with all the ingredients or add them just before you eat the mousse.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon  low carb chocolate mousse

Cinnamon has a long traditional history of use as food (spice) and medicine. We put cinnamon as optional for this recipe, because not all people like cinnamon with their chocolate.

Besides the flavor, as far as the health benefits of cinnamon in the recipe:

  • Cleansing, antimicrobial, antifungal:
    Multiple studies suggested that cinnamon may be effective against different types of pathogens, including MRSA bacteria, streptococcus mutans, mycoplasma hominis, and candida yeasts [18, 19, 20, 21].
  • Healthy Sugar Levels:
    Additional studies also suggest that cinnamon intake is associated with a statistically significant decrease in fasting glucose levels [22].

Top Detoxifying Liver And Kidneys Foods

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar detoxifying liver and kidneys

Raw apple cider vinegar (ACV) is well known for its natural ability to cleanse, detox and flush out toxins from the body.

The research data suggests that apple cider vinegar detoxifying liver and kidneys properties come from its ability to regulate lipid metabolism in the liver, and protect the kidneys and liver from an oxidative injury due to high fast diet [1, 2].

Specifically to the kidneys cleanse, many health experts believe that apple cider vinegar can naturally promote an alkaline environment inside the body, which can alter the acidity in the urine. This can help the kidneys to better pass toxins, and may also prevent the formation of kidney stones.

A study that evaluated the connection between the dietary habits of 12,570 adults to kidney stones in china, found that more consumption of tea, legumes, and fermented vinegar was associated with a lesser risk of kidney stone formation [3].

Example: Liver Detox Drink Recipe

Lemon & Lime Juice

lemon detoxifying liver and kidneys

Perhaps one of the most famous ayurveda home remedies to detox and cleanse the body; drink warm water with lemon juice first thing in the morning.

The research data suggests that lemon and lime juices can prevent kidney stone formation due to their high citric acid content. Citrate has the ability to bind with urinary calcium and calcium oxalate crystals which may help to prevent crystal growth [4, 5].

As for the liver cleansing benefits of lemon juice, the data suggests that lemon juice can regulate elevated levels of serum ALT and AST liver enzymes as well to balance triacylglycerol and lipid peroxidation in the liver [6].

The researchers believe that the detoxifying liver and kidneys abilities of lemon juice are related to its high citric acid content (kidneys) and high antioxidant capacity (liver).

Example: Liver Detox Tea

Liver Detox Tea

Ingredients: lemon, ginger root, cloves, cinnamon, raw honey, stevia.

Extra virgin olive oil has a long history of traditional use as food and medicine. According to the medical literature, there are multiple ways olive oil can protect the liver. The data suggests that olive oil can reduce fatty liver disease, prevent liver cells injury, and reduce lipid peroxidation [7].

Additional studies also found that olive oil can protect the kidneys as well. According to the evidence, olive oil has the ability to reduce the growth of urinary stones, control kidney inflammation, and prevent kidney damage [8, 9].

Example: Detox Parasite Cleanse Salad Dressing

Ingredients: olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon, garlic, himalayan salt, black pepper, mustard.
See the complete recipe.

Beetroot Juice

Beetroot juice detoxifying liver and kidneys

The detoxifying liver and kidneys properties of beets, come from their ability to increase the blood flow to the kidneys, and reduce oxidative damage to the liver.

Beets are rich in natural chemicals called nitrates. When you drink beet juice, the body converts the nitrates into nitric oxide [10]. In the kidney, nitric oxide play a key role in many important functions needed to regulate and maintain healthy kidneys functions [11].

In his post “The Kidney Dysfunction Epidemic”, Dr. Joseph Pizzorno described a study where beetroot juice was able to increase blood flow to the Kidneys, up to 26%. According to Dr. Joseph [12]:

Increasing blood flow to the kidneys has a huge impact on improving detoxification and decreasing oxidative stress.

Beets are also considered as the top detoxing foods for the liver. Beetroot is a rich source of a class of antioxidants known as betalains. According to research, beetroot may have a protective effect against oxidative damage to the liver [13].

Example: Kidney Cleanse Juice

Kidney Cleanse Juice

Ingredients: Ingredients: celery, carrots, cucumbers, beet, apple, orange.
See the complete recipe.

Ginger

Ginger juice detoxifying liver and kidneys

There’s a very good reason why you can find ginger root in almost every liver and kidney cleanse recipe. According to research, ginger has the ability to improve kidney function and protect kidneys from different toxins. The evidence suggests that ginger can decrease inflammation and oxidative damage to kidney tissue when exposed to a wide variety of toxins [14].

Multiple studies also suggest that ginger can improve liver enzymes profile and other nonalcoholic fatty liver disease characteristics [15].

44 nonalcoholic fatty liver patients that took 2 grams of ginger for 12 weeks, showed improvements in certain liver enzymes, inflammation, insulin resistance and other nonalcoholic fatty liver disease characteristics [16].

Example: Liver Cleanse Juice

Liver Cleansing Juice

Ingredients: celery, spinach, carrots, beetroot, ginger root, lemon, apple, cucumbers, stevia, cinnamon.
See the complete recipe.

Blueberries

Blueberries detoxifying liver and kidneys

Multiple studies suggests that blueberries can protect the kidneys from disease, due to their ability to preserve blood flow to the kidneys, decrease inflammation, and delay damage and injury to the kidneys [17, 18, 19].

Regarding the liver, research data suggests that blueberries antioxidant properties can decrease the development of chronic liver damage, scarring of the liver, and liver failure [20, 21].

Carrots

carrots detoxifying liver and kidneys

Carrots have a long history of traditional use to treat kidney disease and other urinary disorders. Modern science was able to validate this use. According to research, carrots antioxidant, anti-inflammatory properties and high beta carotene content, may help to reduce kidney toxicity and protect the kidney from damage [22 ,23].

Additional evidence also suggests that carrots can protect the liver as well [24]. According to research, the bioactive components of carrot can improve liver functions in cases of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [25].

Pomegranate Juice

Pomegranate Juice detoxifying liver and kidneys

The research data on pomegranates is quite remarkable. Multiple studies found that pomegranates can help prevent or treat several types of cancer, cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other diseases [26].

These benefits also include the liver and kidneys health. Several studies were able to demonstrate pomegranates detoxifying liver and kidneys benefits. Pomegranate juice was able to reduce the oxidative stress and inflammation in the liver, and protect the liver against various liver injuries [27, 28].

Other studies found that pomegranate juice was able to prevent crystal depositions, kidney stone formation, and protect the kidneys from cellular damage caused by exposure to heavy metals [29, 30].

Turmeric

With a long history of traditional use and a large number of studies, turmeric is one of the most potent detoxifying liver and kidneys herbs.

Curcumin, the main active compound of turmeric, has shown anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, antifungal, antibacterial and anticancer activities. [31].

A study that compared curcumin to placebo, found that curcumin reduced liver fat content by 78.9% vs 27.5% in the placebo group, regulate elevated liver enzymes, and improve cholesterol triglycerides profile. [32].

Another study concluded that curcumin can reduce harmful molecules that may lead to inflammation in chronic kidney disease. [33].

The Nutrients In The Detox Salad

The Detox Salad Your Gut Would Love Nutrition Facts

As you can see, when you eat the detox salad, you get a lot of nutrients.

But what about all these calories? Should you eat the detox salad as one meal, or should you eat it multiple times throughout the day? Are all these fats in the salad good for me? Here is a summary of our answers to the FAQ:

  • One big meal vs. smaller frequent meals: Listen to your body. Some people enjoy eating big meals. Others may prefer to eat smaller frequent meals.
  • Serving Size: if this is the first time you make this recipe, start by eating half the serving, and see how it makes you feel. You may find that you only need half a serving.
  • Calories: Take into consideration the overall calories. The idea is to replace unhealthy meals with healthy options such as this recipe.
  • Weight loss: The detox salad recipe will make you feel full and satisfied for many hours. So you may find that you need to eat less overall.
  • Fat Content: If you wonder about the fat content of this recipe, these are all healthy essential fats on their natural raw state. The recipe is rich in omega 3 (6.2 grams) and monounsaturated fats (MUFA) which are linked to many health benefits.

Ingredients Analysis: Colon Cleansing Foods

The foods you see in this recipe have a long list of health benefits, supported by a traditional use and many studies. In the analysis below, we focused on the main benefits that are more related to colon cleansing and detoxification.

Cabbage, Beets, Carrots: Brooms Inside Your Colon

Raw non-starchy vegetables such as cabbage, beets and carrots are rich in insoluble fiber. This fiber doesn’t dissolve in water, and can pass through the gut largely intact. Insoluble fiber adds bulk to the stool which can help to promote regular healthy bowel movement.

Think about insoluble fiber as rough brooms inside your colon that grabs accumulated waste buildup and toxins on their way out.

Some people who don’t enjoy raw beets, prefer to make a coleslaw version, and stick with the cabbage and carrots without the beets. Other common suggestions we get include adding fresh green herbs.

We highly encourage you to experiment and use different raw non-starchy vegetables you enjoy.

Lemon – Apple Cider Vinegar – Olive Oil : Natural Detox Salad Dressing

The lemon – apple cider vinegar – olive oil combination is a very popular healthy salad dressing. It tastes great and can help the body to naturally detox and cleanse.

  •  Lemon juice is well known for its ability to stimulate healthy digestion and to naturally detox and cleanse the body. Lemon also helps to balance the flavor of the other ingredients.
  • Apple cider vinegar on its raw unfiltered unpasteurized form can help the body to remove toxins at a faster rate. In addition, raw apple cider vinegar has naturally occurring acids and good bacteria (“the mother”) that can promote healthy digestion and gut health. The mother is the cloudy part you see at the bottom of the bottle.
  • Olive oil is one of the best tasting oils with natural colon cleansing properties: it lubricates the bowels which can add moisture to the stool, and increases the production of certain digestive enzymes which can help promote healthy digestion.

Hemp Seeds : Turn a Salad Into a Meal

We added raw hemp seeds to boost the nutrients in the detox salad. This is the part that turns the colon cleanse recipe from a salad into a complete meal. Hemp seeds make a good source of protein, healthy omega 3 & 6 essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Hemp seeds also add a pleasant nutty flavor & fluffy texture.

Many people are surprised to learn how much nutrients they get when they eat seeds. Here’s an example of the main nutrients you get when you add 2 oz of hemp seeds:

  • 19 grams of protein.
  • 6 grams of omega 3.
  • Over 80% of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of Magnesium, Iron, Phosphorus, and Manganese.
  • Less than 1 grams of net carbs.

Other options of healthy raw fresh nuts and seeds (ideally sprouted) work as well, so feel free to experiment. Based on our testing and reviews we got over the years, many people love the sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds with this recipe.

Cayenne Peppers – Inflammation, Circulation & Digestion

Cayenne peppers are well known for their many health benefits, especially as a natural way that may help to stimulate healthy digestion, control inflammation and promote healthy blood circulation.

Eating hot spicy peppers however, may also cause issues to some people that have sensitivity to spicy foods, or to the nightshade vegetables. If this is you, do not include cayenne peppers in the recipe.

Garlic : Natural Parasite Cleanse

The main reason we like to add garlic to the detox salad is due to its natural antibacterial, antimicrobial and parasite cleansing properties.

When you cleanse your colon, your body may also flush harmful organisms and intestinal parasites. While this may not be the most pleasant topic people like to share, it is very common. For this reason, you may want to combine some sort of antiparasitic support as a part of the colon cleanse.

Raw garlic makes a great choice to get started. Pumpkin seeds are also known to have a natural antiparasitic properties.

If intestinal parasites are a concern to you, or if you consider doing a parasite cleanse, you may want to also look into antiparasitic herbs such as clove, wormwood and black walnut which are much stronger.

Pink Himalayan Salt

Last but not least – we added the pink himalayan salt for both flavor and the naturally occurring electrolytes and trace minerals.
(Much healthier than table salt that is heavily refined with most of the trace minerals removed during the process).

Juices For Colon Cleanse : Pros & Cons

  • Main Benefit: Fast Colon Cleanse.
    The main thing to remember when you make juices for cleansing the colon, is how juicing works.

Juicing breaks down veggies and fruits into fiber and juice. You drink the juice and sometimes pulp without the fiber. When you remove the fiber, the juice offers a fast and easy way your body can assimilate and utilize the nutrients.

  • Remember to get your fiber.
    This instant acting main benefit of juices for colon cleanse, also presents a challenge. Fiber, especially insoluble fiber plays a key role in gut health, and offers a very effective natural way to cleanse your colon. More than that, fiber is needed to promote healthy digestion. For this reason, we highly recommend to make sure you also get enough fiber from whole foods throughout the day.

Important: It is best to get your daily fiber from real foods, not from supplements. Colon cleanse products that contain processed fiber such as Psyllium Husk, flaxseed powder and others should not come instead of fiber from whole foods.

If you are looking for ideas how to include more fiber in your diet, see the detox salad colon cleanse recipe.

  • Watch For Sugars!
    Juicing fruits and even veggies such as carrots may cause high sugars spike. If this is a concern to you, you may want to consider to avoid high sugar content foods when you make your juices, or use other colon cleanse recipes such as teas or meals.
