Liver congestion is one of the most common problems we see in our practice. I had a patient come into my clinic experiencing hormonal imbalances. She was having heavy, painful, irregular periods and by improving her liver function we were able to regulate her periods with normal flow and no pain. I think many people underestimate the power of a well-functioning liver. The liver filters 2L of blood every minute. Liver enzymes breakdown unwanted chemicals so that they can be harmlessly released or bound to molecules that render then inactive and easier to excrete.
