Spring Detox - Detoxing the Body for Better Health. The liver is the primary detox organ. Besides detoxing, it also produces bile, essential for digesting fats and having good bowel movements. The liver makes cholesterol, which is the precursor to all hormones. It also breaks down hormones. Excess fat can be due to too much estrogen in your body due to the liver not breaking it down. The liver also acts as a storage facility for our vitamins and minerals. If the liver is not functioning properly, it can affect many other areas of our body. If your liver is not performing at its best, you could have gas or bloating, constipation, heartburn, acid reflux, yellowish tint to skin and eyes, high blood pressure, difficulty losing weight, cognitive challenges, dark urine, and chronic fatigue.
