WHERE IS YOUR LIVER AND WHY IS SO IMPORTANT WE TAKE CARE OF IT TO BOOST WOMEN'S HEALTH?
The liver is our largest internal organ and it is located in the upper right portion of your abdomen, between the diaphragm and the stomach.
It is the largest digestive-exocrine gland in the body, performing over 500 functions, thus having a great influence on your body’s homeostasis. When the liver doesn’t function well, we can experience a wide array of conditions such as lack of stamina, detoxification, hormonal problems.
The liver can stop to function properly for many reasons such as allergies, medications, infections, alcohol, and food intolerance (to dairy, gluten, sugar and more).
Whether you have been diagnosed with liver problems or not, it is absolutely essential to take proper care of it.
The liver is an extraordinary organ which performs lots of functions, among which are:
detoxifies the body
break down fats
produce energy and heat
ensure the correct functioning of the thyroid, (synthesising essential hormones for the thyroid to use), therefore also affecting your metabolism
deactivate old hormones to return in the bloodstream
These are all essential factors in order to have a healthy regular cycle and increase your chances of getting pregnant!

8) DO MODERATE EXERCISE and build your practice step by step consistently. Jogging is one of the best natural stress relief strategy and an effective way to improve liver problem symptoms.
Why? Continued aerobic exercise uses blood sugars, fatty deposits and cortisol (stress hormone) in the bloodstream. Jogging strengthens your heart muscle, thus allowing it to pump blood with less effort and delivering more blood to the liver. As the circulation rises, your liver also becomes more efficient and it is able to send filtered blood to the brain, organs, muscles and tendons.
9) Liver problems can be also tackled by reducing your exposure to toxic substances. The liver recognises toxic substances and converts them into harmless material to be expelled. Therefore try to avoid or at least limit:
chemically sprayed crops
unnecessary medication
chemical household and
chemical beauty products

Therefore when the liver becomes stagnant, it can definitely benefit from the immediate benefits of lymphatic massage drainage therapy which can specifically support the liver and help the body to cleanse in a more efficient way.
Most livers need lymphatic cleansing as we are all subjected to a certain degree to some liver intoxication and sluggishness due to environmental factors, medications, alcohol and infections.
