The liver is one of the most important organs in the body. It  aids in the production of glutathione , turns sunlight to vitamin D3, filters and purifies blood, and helps produce bile.  In our literally toxic modern society, maintaining liver health is more important than ever.

The ingredients in this recipe work together to provide wonderful healing benefits.  Lemon essential oil can help your body to detox naturally. Its known to support the liver and kidneys as well as promoting blood circulation and strengthening the immune system. Although acidic to taste, lemons are one of the most alkaline of foods and help to push our bodies to the required pH alkaline state of around 7.4. Cinnamon reduces blood levels of glucose and fructose slowing development of fatty liver disease.

Cayenne pepper contains a component called capsaicin which neutralizes what is referred to substance P, a neuropeptide linked to the cause of inflammation in the body. Cayenne increases circulation which  provides a source of healing nutrients to the tissue, and the blood also carries away the toxins from the damaged or wounded area.
