Hi Cinnamom (cute name ),

Several months ago, a friend of mine who is an herbalist gave me a recipe for a liver cleansing tea blend that was VERY effective. I don't know if all the ingredients would be easily obtainable for you (I found all of mine in the bulk section of a natural foods store) but it was very inexpensive and seems like it would be a lot less of a hassle than Atkins' liver cleansing routine. All of these ingredients are natural (though, I do believe that one or two of them are not supposed to be ingested while pregnant.....just a warning)

Here it is the recipe, I think it calls for equal parts of each herb:

-dandelion root
-Burdock root
-Oregon grape root (or regular grape root, not sure of the difference there)
-yellow dock root
-red clover
-nettles
-alfalfa
-oat straw
-spearment, licorice or other all-natural flavoring of your choice

I mixed up some of these in a large sealed jar and had a big cup of this tea every night for several weeks. I did it during induction and it really made me feel better--I was thinking of doing it again to maybe to help my last ten pounds find their way outta here

Hope this helps!
