Did you know your liver performs over 500 vital functions every single day?
This powerful organ filters your blood, breaks down toxins, processes hormones, and even supports digestion and metabolism.
Yet many of us unknowingly burden it with daily stressors – and expect it to keep going without a hitch.
From a naturopathic perspective, your liver is your body’s primary detoxification organ and needs to be nourished, not punished.
What damages the liver?
❌ Alcohol, ci******es & recreational drugs
❌ Processed foods, additives & excess sugar
❌ Environmental toxins (pesticides, pollution, household chemicals)
❌ Pharmaceuticals (especially long-term or high-dose medications)
❌ Chronic stress and emotional suppression (TCM links liver to anger)
❌ Poor sleep & lack of movement
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) the liver governs the flow of Qi (energy). When stagnant, it can cause PMS, irritability, digestive issues, and fatigue. TCM supports the liver through acupuncture, herbs like chai hu, and emotional release.
In Ayurvedic medicine the liver (linked to pitta dosha) is supported through bitter herbs like kutki, turmeric, and triphala, plus mindful eating and cooling practices.
Chiropractors understand that misalignments can affect nerve supply to digestive organs, including the liver. Adjustments may support healthy detox pathways.
Naturopathy focuses on food as medicine, herbal detoxifiers (e.g., milk thistle, dandelion), gut health, and personalised lifestyle support.
How to Support Your Liver:
✅ Eat bitter greens, cruciferous veggies, garlic, beetroot, lemon, and clean protein
✅ Sip warm water with lemon, or herbal teas (like dandelion root)
✅ Move daily to support lymphatic drainage
✅ Reduce alcohol, processed foods & toxins
✅ Prioritise restorative sleep & stress reduction
Your liver does so much for you. Let’s return the favour.
