Liver and gallbladder flushing is a natural detoxification practice aimed at cleansing the liver and flushing out bile sludge, toxins, and gallstones from the liver and gallbladder.
It's popular here at Inner Ecology for those people seeking to support digestion, reduce inflammation, improve energy, or address chronic toxicity.
What Does a Liver & Gallbladder Flush Involve?
We follow this general structure:
🔄 1. Preparation Phase (5–6 days)
Malic acid, apple juice, or phosphoric acid is consumed daily to soften any stones or sludge in the liver and gallbladder.
A low-fat, plant-based diet is typically encouraged.
🌙 2. Flush Day (typically Day 6 or 7)
You avoid eating after 1 p.m.
In the evening, you drink magnesium sulfate in water to relax bile ducts and promote bowel movements.
Around 10 p.m., you consume a mix of olive oil and fresh lemon or grapefruit juice. This encourages a strong contraction of the gallbladder and liver to expel bile and sludge.
🌅 3. Elimination Phase (next morning)
More magnesium is taken to aid in releasing what's been flushed out.
You typically pass green stones which are often bile, heavy metals, bacteria and cholesterol.
Colon hydrotherapy or enemas are recommended to keep the bowels clear for better toxin elimination.
Optional Add-Ons
Coffee enemas to stimulate liver detox pathways.
Castor oil packs over the liver.
Supplements like chanca piedra, milk thistle, or liver bitters.
Is It Safe?
For most people, especially those under guidance here at the clinic, it can be gentle and highly beneficial. However:
Contraindications may include people with kidney disease, hepatic cancer, or frail health.
Some may feel tired, nauseous, or emotional during or after the process—this is considered part of the body’s clearing response.
