Your Liver, Your Life and 2020 – 10 Liver-Friendly Tips

January 1, 2020 at 4:05 pm Comments disabled

We’re just fresh into the new year.  2020 is here!

For many of us, the new year brings intestinal and liver cleanses encouraging the good health resolution we always make.  Both in my wellness book and my blog posts, I refer to cleanses.

What better time is there for a cleanse than now – in January of the new year?

I always recommend an intestinal cleanse before the liver cleanse.  Actually, the two cleanses are partners working together for your good health.

STEP ONE is an intestinal cleanse designed to detox  your digestive system.  When your intestinal tract is clean, you will feel better, have more energy, and be more alert.  But, a key  purpose of this intestinal cleanse is to prepare you to detox your     liver.

If you detox your liver before cleaning  your intestinal tract, you may overload your digestive system.  The result may not leave you feeling better, more alert, and energetic.

So, the best way to go is to detox your intestinal tract first.

STEP  TWO is a liver detox.  With a clean intestinal tract, the toxins will leave your body much easier.

When you think about your liver and what it does, it only makes sense to have a liver cleanse last.

Your liver is your body’s largest and most complex organ.   Some textbooks describe the tasks your liver performs in the hundreds.  How can one organ in the body do all the things it’s supposed to do?  Your liver processes your food nutrients, removes contaminents, stores minerals and vitamins, regulates blood clotting.  On top of the many things your liver does, it regenerates itself.

Your liver is vital to your health and wellbeing.

So, your liver should thank you for giving it a detox.

And, after your  detox, your liver should  easily and effectively process all the things you put in your body.  What can you do after your detox to help keep it in good running order?

There are several things you can do which will help your liver function better…especially if you have health issues affecting  your liver.

ENJOY A CUP OR TWO OF COFFEE.  Caffeine is good for your liver.

LOW-FAT FOODS.   Avoid saturated and trans fats which don’t go well with a fatty liver.

SKIP THE SUGAR.  Now that the holidays are over, it’s time to eat few to no sweets.

GET THE SALT OUT.  Too much salt in your diet contributes to high blood pressure which is hard on your liver.

EAT MORE FRUITS AND VEGGIES.  These foods offer a variety of vitamins and minerals which are easier to digest than the supplements themselves.

GO FOR WHOLE GRAINS.  Brown rice, beans, whole grain breads are preferred.

WATER, WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE.  Drink a lot of water…everyday.

SKIP RAW FISH AND MEATS.  Your goal is to avoid introducing harmful bacteria to your liver.

SKIP THE ALCOHOL.  If you have health issues, alcohol is too stressful on your body.

So, there you have it.   I truly hope this list will help you and your whole body health maintenance in the coming year.  These tips are all liver-friendly.  Your liver is important to your overall health – every day.

A Reflexology Spa Treatment to Boost Spiritual Health

February 8, 2016 at 9:44 am Comments disabled

Occasionally your client partners need a bit of special attention.  Life events create a need for a spiritual affirmation.  A Reflexology Spa Treatment for the Spirit can be just what is needed.   This session honors the part of the body  beyond the bones and muscles.

Begin this session plan by selecting the essential oil you’ll use.  My preferred essential oils for a Spiritual Spa Session include:

bergamot

clary sage

frankincense

galbanum

juniper

lavender

Roman chamomile

Once the oil has been selected, you’ll be guided to choose the music.  the decor.  When you book this Spiritual appointment, discuss and choose the oil.

Whatever oil and music you choose, make your selections  both  powerful and healing.  Have the music  playing when your client partner enters your healing space.

For this spiritual session make your client partner comfortable on your healing table and then wash his/her  feet using warm, wet towels.  Once your client partner’s feet are washed, wrap them in warm dry towels.

Anoint your client partner with the selected essential oil.  Apply several drops of the chosen oil to both your client partner’s hands.  Encourage your client partner to rub his/her  palms together and then wipe them over the face, head, halo, aura.

Move to your client partner’s head and bring in Reiki.  Offer three Reiki holds to the head.

Now, move to your client partner’s feet.  Anoint your client partner’s feet with a lotion to which you’ve added a small amount of the selected essential oil.

Now, offer five minutes of delicious warm ups to your client partner’s first foot.  While you do this, leave the other foot wrapped in the warm towel.

Follow this with twenty  minutes of specific reflexology offered to reflex points chosen to encourage spiritual therapy.  Work the reflex points in the following order:

1.   solar plexus

2.   pituitary gland

3.  pineal gland

4. thymus

5.  adrenal glands

6. ovary/ testicle

7.  heart

8.  spine

9.   intestines

10.  Chakras

11.  Now, finish this part of the session by returning to the solar plexus and liver.

Offer five minutes of warm downs as you complete the work on the first foot.

Now, cover the first foot with the warm towel and move to the other foot where you will offer five minutes of warm ups,  and twenty minutes of spiritual focus on the second food.

Now, offer five minutes of gentle warm downs on the second  foot as you complete the reflexology part of this session.

It is now time to offer three Reiki therapy holds to both feet and then close the Reiki part of the session.

This has been a deep session.  Your client partner needs a few moments to return to “now”.  Gently cover both feet with warm towels, leave him/her alone for a moment as you prepare a glass of water and offer it to your client partner.

Quietly visit with your client partner as you end the session.  This  may take a few extra moments for your client partner prepares  to return to “now”.

Thank you for practicing reflexology and thank you for offering this spa session to your client partners.
