Did you overdo it during the holidays?

Today, with fast-paced lifestyles, consumption of unrefined and fast foods, and high stress levels, it's no wonder millions of Canadians suffer from liver congestion. From a biochemical perspective, waste creates an excess in the body, which depletes your energy and literally causes your metabolism to slowly shut down. Once this process begins, you feel tired, lethargic, even anxious, and you also crave junk food, because your metabolism is in a toxic state.

Nowadays, due to the fast pace of life, the consumption of unrefined and fast foods, and high-stress levels, it is no wonder that millions of Canadians suffer from liver congestion. From a biochemical perspective, waste creates an excess in the body, which drains your energy and literally causes the metabolism to slowly shut down. Once this process begins, you feel tired, lethargic, even anxious, and you also crave junk food, because your metabolism is in a toxic state.

A detoxification program must first and foremost be gentle. Detox programs should not be too heavy; that is, they should not have too many herbs in their combination or elements in their repertoire.

When the liver is already taxed, you don't want to put too much into your body. The more supplements you take, even those supposedly good for you, the harder your liver has to work to process them. This can lead to entropy that can affect the entire body and lead to illness.

What herbs and supplements can be used to support a liver detox?

Medicinal plants can detoxify the system and help the liver function optimally, while lacto-fermented whey can help achieve regularity.

A.Vogel's Boldocynara liver cleansing formula is made from fresh, organic herbs. Its main ingredient is artichoke. This plant has a deep-acting effect, causing the liver and gallbladder to release bile. It relieves congestion, allowing the liver to function better. Artichoke also controls and improves the production of cholesterol, which comes from the liver. Boldo, dandelion, and peppermint are added to the formula to alleviate typical symptoms of poor digestion: flatulence, indigestion, heartburn, constipation, irritable bowel symptoms, and cramps.

Alfred Vogel, the renowned Swiss naturopath who concocted the potent Boldocynara formula, was extremely pleased with its efficacy as a liver tonic. Most of his patients received Boldocynara to aid their recovery from illnesses caused by a sluggish or overloaded liver. Vogel always insisted that people taking medication for chronic conditions should ensure their liver, as the body's primary filtering system, receives the support it needs by using Boldocynara.

While Boldocynara will help your liver, it is important to follow a diet that promotes the growth of good bacteria and also helps achieve regularity. A.Vogel's original Molkosan is lacto-fermented whey from Swiss cow's milk. It provides well-being from within through its pH balancing action and its contribution to maintaining a healthy intestinal flora.

A 15-day Purification Program

Nowadays, it's hard to stop the routine of daily life to embark on a deep purification program. A.Vogel's 15-day cleansing program has all the prerequisites for a gentle therapy. It consists of:
• an herb to stimulate kidney function - nettle
• a plant to induce liver function - boldocynara
• and a lacto-fermented whey to improve gut health - Molkosan

The components work synergistically to produce a gentle effect. There is no need to stop regular activities or routines, and the program will still leave you feeling revitalized.

In a bottle, mix:

  • 45 drops of A. Vogel's Boldocynara
  • 45 drops of A. Vogel's Nettle
  • 2 tsp to 1 tbsp of A. Vogel's Molkosan or Molkosan Berry
  • 1.5 liters of water

Drink the mixture throughout the day. Repeat for 15 days, twice a year: in spring and autumn.
