Are your allergies bothering you lately? Mine are- so it's time for another round of the Liver Cleanse at our house. This round, my 5 yr old is happily drinking the stuff straight like a big kid!
The Liver Cleanse is the reason I first became interested in essential oils. I was trying to help my then infant Julie boost her immune system, and I was also seeking relief from my seasonal allergies.
The more I read about it, the more I realize what a big job our liver has. If it's getting overloaded with toxins, the liver will have a hard time doing it's job right. So if any of these things ail you- try the liver cleanse!
allergies, cellulite, depression, drowsiness after eating, eczema, elevated cholesterol, fatigue, headaches, high blood pressure, hormonal imbalances, hypoglycemia, indigestion, jaundice , mood swings, nausea, obesity, PMS, rashes, weak muscles, or weight gain.
The Liver Cleanse
2 Tablespoons of lemon juice (1/2 a lemon)
1 drop of lemon essential oil
1 drop of peppermint essential oil
a little water to dilute
Drink it first thing in the morning before any other food or water. Do it for 2-4 weeks, take a week break, and then repeat until the symptoms subside.
(Some people say 2 weeks and take a break, others say 4 weeks, so you can choose! I've done both and they both work)
For kids: you can add a little honey or pure maple syrup to the cleanse to see if they'll drink it (This didn't really help my kids- the peppermint makes it "spicy" for them) Or you can rub the oils in the bottoms of their feet.

*This is not a quick fix remedy- it will take time to clean out that little liver:) But it really does work!
I'm putting an oil order in next Monday. If you want to order any oils, let me know! Lemon is $13 and Peppermint is $23
