Cleansing is a term that is growing in popularity and methods of cleansing range from mild to severe.    The primary purpose of a cleanse is to provide a resting period for the liver and/or gall bladder, to allow time for these amazing organs to regenerate and heal so they can continue to support the challenging job of keeping our bodies free of toxins, regulating hormones, and other critical functions.  The Hollywood tabloids tout the current cleansing “fad,” but, in fact, cleansing has been used since the beginning of time.
