Detox Liver with Qi Gong Massage, Meditation and Herbs

Often times, people engage in purging liver detox regimens that deplete the body's energy. Depletion occurs when the organs that prefer warming properties are cooled by the cold properties found in most herbal formulations for detoxifying the liver. Thus, people who have digestive issues that have root in spleen or stomach imbalances may find those conditions exacerbated after a cold natured liver detox regimen.
Utilizing qi gong (Chinese yoga) and a combination of herbs that support warmer organs while cooling the liver, is often a more effective approach. Also, qi gong breath work and meditation, combined with self massage, can help you to process stressful events more effectively, which can prevent the liver from developing higher levels of toxicity.

The beauty of Chinese yoga is that you can perform it anywhere without any special equipment. Thus, the detoxifying aspects of this gentle form of energy work, is accessible to all people at any time during their days. No complicated regimens to undertake. No expensive supplements to buy.
