And there it is!
Our point is you don't need to cleanse anything from your body, as your liver and kidneys already do that. If you want to lose weight, all that is needed is eating less than you burn. Any special diets like this will only help you out temporarily, if at all. They don't teach you how to properly feed your body.
Actually if you want to be exact, it is not a bad idea to cleanse your liver, it doesn't always do a perfect job or liver disease wouldn't be a problem, i Myself use an essential oil mixed with lemons and peppermint to cleanse my liver, and their are many study's on this that say it is a very wise idea, so really your just being judgmental when you do not have all of your facts correct. SMH
That will not cleanse your liver in any way.
Liver Clearing Blend
Health-Essentials.info recommends a mixture of three essential oils called the "Liver Clearing Blend" for improving liver health and function. This blend consists of ledum essential oil, which contains high antioxidant properties for detoxification, celery seed essential oil, which helps to rejuvenate the liver, and helichrysum essential oil, which is a natural anticoagulant and antiviral. This essential blend helps cleanse the liver and protect it from disease.

Name one toxin being removed from your body by cleansing. Specific to the cleansing, not one that your body removes naturally. A toxin that our bodies cannot handle, necessitating a cleanse.0 -

Or at least one that is scientifically proven to be removed more efficiently with the addition of lemon and peppermint essential oils versus just the liver doing as it is supposed to do by itself.

Like I said before in this very thread... There have been some people here that have done this very thing and found that it doesn't work. It's a waste of time, energy, and money... Every single person that comes in here touting these cleanses and detoxes cannot name ONE toxin that is eliminated as a result. And I have my own bone to pick with snake oil that is "essential oils" and it's salesmen.
You wanna waste your resources on this mumbo-jumbo... Good for you... But don't expect educated people to buy into it as we have already done our research on it and have come to our own conclusions.0 -

I'm being open minded and waiting for you to present an actual study that shows that liver function improves with lemon and peppermint oils. But because you can't find them, you are now taking the road of accusing us of being close minded and shoving our opinions down throats...which, um, look who's talking now.

The liver is the gateway to the body and in this chemical age its detoxification systems are easily overloaded. Thousands of chemicals are added to food and over 700 have been identified in drinking water. Plants are sprayed with toxic chemicals, animals are injected with potent hormones and antibiotics and a significant amount of our food is genetically engineered, processed, refined, frozen and cooked. All this can lead to destruction of delicate vitamins and minerals, which are needed for the detoxification pathways in the liver. The liver must try to cope with every toxic chemical in our environment, as well as damaged fats that are present in processed and fried foods.
Liver cleanse does not work on it's own but your liver does get overloaded with toxins from everywhere, you can't sit and name every toxin that your body dispels, so yeah i think aiding your liver in it's job can only be helpful. I am very educated but thanks for assuming that I'm not.-1 -
What does the research say?
Research studies on essential oils show positive effects for a variety of health concerns including infections, pain, anxiety, depression, tumors, premenstrual syndrome, nausea, and many others. The resources on this page are meant to highlight a few examples.

The quote wasn't actually said by Linda Halcon, by the way, and seems to be a generic statement sited in various blogs without any reference to who actually said this. Also, it seems a lot has to do with aromatherapy, not ingesting liquids as a detoxification aide.
And nothing points to studies in regards to your claims of lemon and peppermint oil aiding in liver function.

I have some probably stupid questions. These oils.... do you ingest them? Also, how do you know your liver is fabulous? What specifically does it do that my likely less than fabulous liver does not?0

Well, since you are very educated, then you know what an actual study is. I look forward to seeing that instead of random websites or anecdotal evidence.
And as Kruggeri pointed out, what is your basis in regards to proof of improved liver function. Were you part of a study? Did you do extensive tests and scans prior, during and after the improvement of liver function? Why was it not functioning optimally to begin with? Was there other medical factors/issues involved?
Or was this more a psychosomatic thing in which you "felt" as if things improved? Could this be true to all the others who have said so to you in regards to liver health improvement?-1 -

Please could you cite credible sources that shows that lemons and peppermint cleanses (as in rids it of toxiz) that your liver would not otherwise do without it. Thanks!

People like to make sure that misinformation is not touted.
Also, support =/= agreeing with everything that everyone says. Especially if its wrong and potentially harmful.

If your liver isn't doing a good job, then essential oils aren't what you need. A visit to the doctor is.
Also, many studies? Please provide links to the actual studies.

That's not support. That's called enabling people to harm themselves. If you stand by when people do dangerous things, and you don't tell them it's stupid or dangerous? Well that isn't being supportive at all.0 -

Something tells me that the young girls who come in here eating little to nothing are NOT Buddhist, and actual Buddhists would likely be offended that you use their practices to make others seem like meanies (which isn't at all Buddhist).0
