Cleanses are great for preventative maintenance. For example, liver/gallbladder cleanses are used to stimulate elimination of wastes from the body, open the blood and lymph flow to the liver, increase bile flow, and improve overall liver functioning. By cleansing your body’s filtration system, you can eliminate toxins from your blood and lymph more efficiently and enjoy an increased sense of vitality.
