Nausea, heaviness, big belly … We are talking about “liver crisis” but “In reality it is a bad digestion after having eaten too fat or having drunk too much alcohol. In this case, the liver is a little overwhelmed but you never have a pain in the liver, it is rather the gallbladder which can be sensitive“, Underlines Laurence Pinelli, naturopath. She gives us the right remedies to get better:
- A hot water bottle. “”The liver is an organ whose temperature is naturally higher than the rest of the body. A hot hot water bottle will help him work better, it is a very simple and very effective remedy. “
- Lemon juice. It stimulates bile production and is renowned for doing good in the liver. We take it in a little lukewarm water, without sugar.
- Mint. During a liver crisis, the feeling of disgust is very strong. Mint or even ginger are very effective in calming nausea.
- Of thistle-Marie. Charmon-Marie is a very effective “detox” plant, both cholagogue and choleretics. It helps the liver to produce bile which will then take the toxins with it. We take it in infusion.
- Artichoke. Like thistle-Marie, the artichoke pushes the liver to make bile but it should not be taken in the form of a supplement if you suffer from a deficit in bile acids. You can eat it fresh or in herbal tea.
- Black radish: it allows the vesicle to contract and eject the bile to the small intestine. It can also be associated with artichoke and thistle-Marie. However, it should not be consumed if one suffers from an obstruction of the bile ducts or an ulcer.
- Beet because it contains betaine which acts on the decrease in ALAT enzymes. Present in too large quantities, these enzymes generally indicate that liver cells are damaged.
- Skinny meat or fish with vapor vegetables for 2-3 days, advises Laurence Pinelli. Adding raw and organic olive oil to these dishes is also a good idea because it contains powerful antioxidants and helps the gallbladder to contract naturally.
- Water and herbal teas made from star anise, dried hibiscus flowers or rosemary. “Above all, do not drink vegetable juice because they are very rich in oxalates. When there is too much, it has an impact on the kidneys.”
- Coca? Recommended in case of gastroenteritis, COCA is not recommended during a liver crisis. It contains glucose-fructose syrup from corn, which is extremely toxic to the liver. “”People who drink a lot of sugary drinks, including excess fruit juices, may suffer from non -alcoholic hepatic steatosis (foie gras). “
During a liver crisis, it is necessary to do digestive savings. The body needs trace elements and vitamins but especially not cooked fats and sugars. “”Avoid cooked fats because they are not easily solved by bile“Argue the naturopath. Likewise, to preserve your liver, you must avoid eating industrial dishes and not take paracetamol during a liver crisis. Paracetamol exhausts glutathione reserves – an antioxidant tripeptide naturally presents in high concentration in almost all cells of the body – available in the liver. Can therefore detoxify other bad toxins.
