Liver Cleanse Recipe
This is an excellent liver cleanse recipe that I have adapted from about four or five other liver cleanse recipes that I have tried over the years. I have supercharged it with a few extra ingredients, but have put the main, base ingredients in bold to highlight the essentials.
I would recommend doing this over the weekend, and in the morning. It is particularly effective if you have undertaken some light exercise such as walking or jogging prior to the liver cleanse as this helps to get the toxins moving out of the body and invigorates the lymph system.
After the juice I would also recommend some breathing exercises to help the lymph flow on its way!
The Recipe for the Ultimate Liver Cleanse!
Serves 2
- 2 large grapefruits
- 4 lemons
- 300ml of distilled water (or filtered)
- 2 tablespoons of Udo’s Choice (or cold pressed flax oil
- 1 teaspoon of acidophilus
- 1-2 cloves of fresh garlic
- 2 inches of fresh root ginger
- Optional: a dash of cayenne pepper!
Directions
- Squeeze the juice of the grapefruit and lemon into a blender
- Next, grate the garlic and the ginger, and then using a garlic press, squeeze this into the juice
- Now add the water, Udo’s and acidophilus powder and blend for 30 seconds
- Add more ginger/garlic to taste
This juice contains all of the most potent liver cleansing ingredients, and gives your liver a gentle flush and the opportunity to heal itself. There are no side effects to this drink, apart from a bit of garlic-breath for a while. However, the grapefruit removes most of the odour.
I have also been told that this is the most incredible hangover cure in the world - so it might be worth bearing in mind just for that! It contains everything you would need to cure a hangover (vitamin c, omega 3, probiotics, water, ginger) so I can see how it would work!

p.s. late addition: I just remembered hearing about a liver cleanse pesto recipe last week, but have no idea what was in it or what it was about! If anyone has such a pesto recipe to share it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I was wondering how long should you do the liver detox for, and what dietary recommendations during the detox are appropriate. Thank you
Hi Dina
The above juice is just a liver supportive drink you can use either as part of your normal life or during a full liver cleanse.
I’ve just completed a full liver cleanse (literally last night) and followed this:

Hope this helps!

Oh thank you, I was also curious about other liver cleanses that you may find at health food stores like whole foods. These seem like they are more convenient ie a capsule administration, do you have any insite for me as to the pros/cons vs the one day epson cleanse that you just recommended? Again, thank you, I am looking for both a safe and convenient option for myself.
these organs work so hard, giving them a detox makes sense..
Hi
My wife has polycystic liver disease for 12 years and has had them drained at hospital many times. However it has now become difficult to have them drained as they lie so deep and the liver so enlarged. Is there anything you can suggest that will help ease the problem.
Hi Kev,
I just read your e-mail and thought I would pass along this link.(www.myhealthblog.org/2009/04/02/pepito-with-liver-cancer-cirrhosis-survives-his-first-egg-yolk-liver-flush/) In your wife’s case, she should definately consult with someone (like the man helping his liver cancer/cirrhosis patient as described) in this link. Good luck, Anne
Hi….. I read above where you say it is a supportive drink so I am assuming it is not really necessary to fast the day of the cleanse..I was just wondering if it would be more beneficial though or does it really not matter?
Still reading through your site , some great tips and recipes that tie into our own site, I will pass on your link to my customers…I was glad to read sprouts are one of your favorite super foods…I am an avid sprouter also…its a wonderful, inexpensive and fun way to add nutrition to your diet…and kids love to be involved as they grow so fast…
Kudos, Michelle.
Hi,
My husband has Hepatitis C (dormant) and my brother has Hepatitis B (acute). I totally believe in natural remedies over drugs in helping with liver support. This liver cleanse sounds good. Could you advise how often a person who is suffering with acute symptoms of Hepatits B should be doing this cleanse? And is there something else you would recommend for the stress, lack of sleep, and other related issues of a liver being overworked with fighting off this virus?
Thank you.
P.S. My husband was diagnosed with Hepatits C years ago and didn’t even know he had it until we underwent infertility treatment. But he wants to provide support to his liver and believes in natural liver support.
Hello: I was diagnosed with Hep C after a blood transfusion 19 yrs ago and it has invaded my liver. I now have cirrhosis. I went thru chemo and my Hep C is undetected. I am very concerned about my liver; had a sonogram, but haven’t gotten the results. I would like to know if any of your cleansings could preclude my liver from getting any worse. Thanks so much for your time.
