Is it possible that the liver be liable for your acne breakouts?
Several acne patients believe they can blame the liver for their skin problems; this is very prevalent among those who are familiar with alternative health.
Your skin may have to help the liver at times, and this can lead to skin problems. The liver and the kidneys are responsible for keeping your body free from toxins. If they can’t manage the load, then the skin and other secondary detoxification organs have to share the burden. In this case toxins are eliminated through the skin.
Toxins passing through the skin cause zits in two ways. First, toxins create an ideal setting for acne causing bacteria to blossom on your skin. Second, as these toxins pass through the skin they cause inflammation and irritate it.
Liver blockage can lead to zits also indirectly. The liver also regulates hormone levels; case in point androgens. The liver also affects insulin levels, though only indirectly. Both of these hormones affect how much oil your skin produces.
Liver flush: the answer to acne?
Natural health experts recommend liver flushing as the solution for congested liver. This is supposed to get rid of the excessive toxins in the liver. During liver flush you fast for a day and then gulp a blend of olive oil and lemon juice.
However there are few problems with the liver flush. While it’s typically not dangerous, <b>if you have gall stones it can put you on the surgeon’s table for gallbladder removal operation</b>.
As you can imagine drinking large quantities of olive oil stresses the liver. And the mixture of olive oil and lemon juice tastes anything but good.
To add insult to the injury the liver flush is often not a very effective acne treatment. To see result most people need to repeat the procedure up to 20 times – and in this case one could argue that the results come from repeated fasting and clean diet than from the liver flush itself.
Luckily you don’t need to flush your liver to get clear. Your body can heal itself without any flushes or cleanses. This doesn’t have to be complicated. Eat a clean diet, exercise, practice healthy lifestyle habits, remain positive and do few detoxes (without any cleanses or flushes). That’s all. Your body then takes care of any toxins and congestion – not to mention your acne.
How you live your life every day is what determines the fate of your acne – not how often you flush your liver.
