Preparations for liver cleansing perform two main functions and are divided into two groups:
- Function of protection and restoration of liver cells.
- Function of activating the biliary excretion.
And hepatoprotectors and cholagogue can accelerate the process of liver detoxification, while improving all metabolic functions, speeding up the regeneration of cells, have a good antioxidant effect. In addition, taking such drugs restores the acid-base balance, promotes liquefaction and rapid elimination of bile, prevents the formation of new stones.
Many experts quite rightly believe that liver cleansing should be combined with simultaneous treatment, as well as normalization of the digestive tract.
Mechanism of action
Hepatoprotectors - a group of drugs that have the same property - the protection of liver cells. Also, hepatoprotectors increase the body's ability to deactivate toxins without causing damage and loss of hepatocytes, that is, they create stability of the liver due to protection (protection) of cell membranes. The list of tasks for which the action of hepatoprotectors is directed includes the following:
- Activation of intracellular metabolism.
- Improvement and recovery of the fermentation process.
- Antioxidant action, binding and excretion of free radicals.
- Neutralization, suppression of peroxide oxidation of fats (lipids).
- Protection of liver cell membranes.
- Activation of the synthesis of structural protein compounds in liver cells.
- Regeneration, restoration of liver tissue.
- Neutralization, binding, elimination of toxins.
Hepatoprotectors - preparations for purification and restoration of the liver, usually made from plant materials - artichoke, milk thistle, turmeric, smokey, soy, and also contain phospholipids. Many of them have a complex effect - hepatoprotective and choleretic at the same time, this is Gepabene, Darcil, Galstena, Gepacept and others.
Cholagogue preparations help to activate bile excretion, however, as monopreparations without combination with means of treatment, restoration and protection of the liver are ineffective. Cholagogue preparations are able to strengthen the production of bile and contribute to the filling of the bile of the duodenum, which greatly improves digestion, but does not purify the liver.
There are also pharmacy detoxification products, which are used as drugs that dilate the bile ducts and liver ducts and soften the process of excretion of stones, such as sorbitol, magnesium, sodium thiosulfate.
Purification of the liver with sorbitol
Detoxification of the liver with the help of sorbitol is essentially a traditional tjubazh. The method is almost safe, gentle, requiring only preliminary preparation of the body, as in all cases of cleaning.
Purification of the liver with sorbitol is as follows:
- For 3-4 days, or better in a week, you should observe a dietary diet, excluding all fried, fatty, smoked, spicy dishes, potatoes. The most useful is the fractional vegetarian food every 1.5-2 hours in small portions, the food should be steamed, boiled. All this time you need to consume freshly squeezed apple juice or there are apples that contribute to bile excretion.
- For a few days you need to exclude any physical, emotional stress.
- In the morning of the day on which the cleaning is planned, it is necessary to make a cleansing enema.
- Closer to the evening on the right side (hypochondrium), you need to put a warm water bottle, go to bed, after preparing the medicinal composition.
- In boiled water (100ml), you should dilute 2 tablespoons of sorbitol, drink it in 19-20 hours in the evening, alternating with a decoction of cholagogue grasses.
- Cholagogue drink should also be prepared in advance: a handful of corn stigmas and a tablespoon of pharmacy chamomile pour two cups of boiling water, insist 40 minutes, strain and leave 50 milliliters.
- The hot-water bottle should remain on the right side all this time, if it cools down, it is necessary to replace it with a warmer one or use a heating pad.
- Activates the process of cleansing the special breathing of the diaphragm (breath from the stomach).
- The first clearing signals should appear 2-3 hours after sorbitol intake. It is likely that the release of stones, slags for the first time will not be so intense, in this case, after a time, liver cleansing should be repeated.
- Not always the body reacts to the drug, purification of the liver with sorbitol can be replaced with detoxification with the help of egg yolks (three raw yolks).
- In the morning it is desirable to make a cleansing enema in the event that excretion of gallstones was not abundant.
- To repeat detoxification with sorbitol it is possible not earlier, than in 2 or 3 weeks. For a year, up to 6 liver purification procedures can be performed with the help of sorbitol.
Purification of the liver with sorbitol can be done in another way:
- On the day of cleaning, you should stay at home, so it's better to plan it for the weekend.
- 3-4 tablespoons of rose hips are poured with a liter of boiling water and insist in a thermos during the night.
- In the morning in a glass of wild boar infuse sorbitol - 3 tablespoons, drink in small sips for 10-15 minutes.
- After 30-40 minutes you need to drink the remaining broth in the thermos, without adding sorbitol. The broth will act as a cholagogue.
- During the day, it is better to lie with a hot water bottle on the right side.
- All day you can eat food, always in small portions, without adding oil, fat, preferably without salt. For this method, vegetarian dishes will be ideal.
- Repeat the day-cleaning procedure can be a day later for a week and a half (6-7 times). This method is considered the most sparing, since the removal of slags occurs gradually.
After successful removal of slags, a person can feel some weakness, this condition takes place in 2-3 days, after which the state of health improves significantly: skin, digestion, kidney, gallbladder, brain activity - all these organs start functioning much better , lightness appears in the body.
Purification of the liver with sodium thiosulfate
Sodium thiosulfate was previously used by all photographers in the world, before the digital age, and this substance is still used in textile industry, in the chemical industry. In medicine, sodium thiosulfate is used as an effective desensitizing agent, which has a high detoxification and anti-inflammatory ability, sulfites, which form the body, bind and remove almost all salts of heavy metals - copper, arsenic, lead, thallium, mercury, phenols, hydrocyanic acid . The drug is often prescribed for the treatment of arthritis, dermatitis (externally) and intokiskatsii (internal application).

Helps to activate the removal of slags abundant drink - apple juice, broth of wild rose, mineral water without gas.
Purification of the liver with magnesium
Cleansing the liver with magnesium is more a preventive tjubazh than cleaning itself, although if the course is repeated for six months, the effect will be noticeable and obvious. Prepare for the use of magnesia should be the same as in other cases involving effects on the liver and gallbladder - you need a weekly vegetarian diet, abundant alkaline drink, the exclusion of fatty, fried, spicy foods, alcohol. Magnesia has a strong choleretic property, so the digestive tract and biliary tract should be prepared for the removal of stones, toxins. It should be noted that the purification of the liver by magnesia is a rather "insidious" way, which can lead to exacerbation of cholecystitis, stomach and duodenum ulcers, since it significantly increases acidity. If a person has contraindications, it is better to use more gentle methods, which today there are a great many.
- Before cleaning, lie down for 1-2 hours with a hot water bottle on the right side.
- After a minimum of an hour after heating the liver, it is necessary to dissolve 2 tablespoons of the drug in a glass of warm boiled water.

- Within an hour, the warmer should stay in the right hypochondrium in a warm form (it is better to use a heating pad).
There is another option for purifying the liver with magnesium, when after preparatory dietary days and warming up, a solution of magnesium in mineral water is prepared: in a glass of hot water, stir a tablespoon of magnesia. The result from combining the mineral fluid and dilating the bile ducts of the substance is much better, faster. Such procedures should be done once a quarter to prevent slagging of the liver. Please note, before using detoxification with magnesium sulphate, it is necessary to conduct a checkup of the gallbladder and liver, make ultrasound and consult a doctor to avoid exacerbation of chronic diseases.
