We all have one, but few of us truly understand what the liver is for and what it does for us. Unlike the heart or the lungs, we don’t feel our livers working. Located beneath the rib cage in the right upper abdomen, the liver is the largest solid organ in the body. The gallbladder, which stores bile made in the liver, is found tucked under your liver. Your liver is made up of two separate sections, or lobes: the larger right lobe and the smaller left lobe. The liver filters about 1.4 litres of blood per minute, which amounts to approximately 2,016 litres of blood per day and it performs this task all day, every day. This amazing feat is vital for detoxifying the blood and removing waste products.The liver is also responsible for maintaining healthy blood sugar levels, producing proteins for blood plasma, producing cholesterol, converting glucose to glycogen for storage, processing drugs, toxins such as alcohol and chemicals, it regulates blood clotting to stop bleeding, and performs over 500 other vital functions. It’s so essential to our life, the word live is in the name!
What can damage the liver?
Most of us know that drinking too much alcohol can seriously damage the liver but did you know that chronic stress can also negatively impact liver health by increasing inflammation and disrupting liver function?
Remedies for Liver Issues
If you’re prickly for no reason, finding yourself being irritable over minor events and feeling overwhelmed, then liver 30C is very beneficial at this time. Nux vomica 200C is a component of this remedy, and is especially helpful to the typical Type A personality type, usually a workaholic who drives themselves to accomplish results and also plays hard and resorts to stimulants such as caffeine to ‘pep up’ and alcohol to ‘reduce stress’ and sleep. The liver 30C remedy is ideal for ‘Business Stress/Burnout’.
When excess stress hormones are released too often, your stress response forgets how to shut down. Your stress gains traction and suddenly you’re caught in a chronic cycle. This is known as over-adrenalization.
Pegasus Homeopathics is excellent for physical symptoms but it’s just as effective for mental and emotional symptoms and can help calm the nervous system during stressful times.
A Remedy for Calming Stress
Calming 30C can assist by taking the edge off stressful situations, helping to calm and steady your nervous system allowing you to be present and cope.
Calming 30C contains many of the elements in herbal remedies such as passiflora and valerian but in homeopathic doses. Calming 30C also contains chamomilla (referred to as the ‘opium of homeopathy’) The remedy calms and relaxes in a way which still allows you to be mentally alert and present when taken in the day time; and only induces ‘sleepiness’ when taken at night with the intention to sleep.
It’s effective even for severe anxiety and panic attacks, is non-habit forming and won’t make you feel drowsy as a side effect.
A Remedy for Encouraging Sleep
Liver 30C works well in conjunction with sleep 30C for those struggling with feeling exhausted, restless sleep and feeling ‘tired but wired’.
The sleep remedy is useful for all kinds of insomnia whether due to anxiety and worry, over-work, excessive mind-busyness or nervous exhaustion.
Best of all, you won’t wake up groggy and leaden as with many over-the-counter sleep medications.
Remember when taking multiple remedies at the same time, always wait for at least 10 minutes between remedies so as not to ‘scramble’ the healing message.
