How to treat the liver with oats — 5 useful properties and tips on how to brew and drink it properly

Oats are considered one of the most beneficial plants for our body. It perfectly helps with gastrointestinal and digestive problems.

Research confirms that the systematic use of oats improves the functioning of the liver, and also has a positive effect on the functioning of the pancreas and intestines, helping the patient recover more quickly from malfunctions in these organs.

However, it is necessary to clearly understand the rules for the preparation and administration of medicinal products based on oats for the treatment of the liver, as well as to familiarize yourself with the indications and contraindications for the use of this plant. Only in this case, oats will bring maximum benefit and will not cause harm.

5 medicinal properties

Properly cooked oatmeal products (no matter if it is a decoction, infusion or porridge), when used systematically, help restore the functioning of the liver, pancreas, stomach and intestines.

All the medicinal properties of oatmeal products for the gastrointestinal tract can be combined into five points:

1. Launching regenerative processes in the liver . Regular consumption of oats in any form helps to activate regenerative processes in liver tissues;
2. Cleansing and detoxification. Oats helps to remove toxins and restore metabolic processes in the liver, as well as throughout the body;
3. Relieves inflammation . Oats can relieve inflammation in the digestive tract. It contains substances that are considered natural anti-inflammatory components. Therefore, oats are widely used in the treatment of ulcers, gastritis and pancreatitis;
4. Accelerates metabolism . The composition of the plant contains enzymes similar to those produced by the pancreas. These enzymes are important components of the normal assimilation of basic elements (fats, proteins and carbohydrates). If the production of enzymes is disrupted in a natural way (i.e., the pancreas itself), oats can help, which will restore fermentation and adjust metabolic processes in the body;
5. Increases overall immunity . It's no secret that well-functioning digestive tract organs and the liver are also known to have strong immunity. After all, these organs are responsible for the assimilation of all useful micro- and macronutrients and the elimination of undesirable metabolic products, toxins and excess bile. If the liver function improves, then the immune system will also increase. But keep in mind that cleaning the liver with an oatmeal drink is not allowed for everyone. Therefore, before the procedure, check the possible consequences with your doctor.

When should I clean with oats?

Cleaning with an oatmeal drink is one of the most effective. This is especially true for those patients who suffer from inflammatory processes in the gastrointestinal tract or liver gland.

It is quite possible to determine on your own the signs signaling that it is time to clean the liver. But self-diagnosis will never replace a full-fledged examination by a doctor, so do not neglect it.

Symptoms of the need to cleanse the liver:

1. Bitter taste in the mouth;
2. Constant heartburn;
3. There are painful sensations in the right side;
4. Constant heaviness on the stomach (especially after eating);
5. Sleep problems;
6. Frequent severe headaches.

These are common signs that most often indicate the slagging of the body and the need to remove toxins from the liver.

Only if a complete clinical picture is obtained, effective treatment can be prescribed.

What will such a procedure do?

Cleansing with an oatmeal drink is perhaps the safest way to detoxify at home.

The plant helps:

1. To enhance the protective functions of the body (including strengthening the general immune system);
2. Get rid of chronic cough and relieve asthma symptoms;
3. Relieve inflammation in case of exacerbation of peptic ulcer, pancreatitis or gastritis;
4. Remove kidney stones;
5. Lower blood sugar and purify the blood ;
6. Clean the vessels from cholesterol;
7. Improve blood composition ;
8. Restore normal renal function;
9. Triggers regenerative processes in the liver (by normalizing the gastrointestinal tract and reducing the load on the gland).
10. Improve your mood and get rid of chronic fatigue .

How to choose the right raw materials?

The oats that you see on the shelves of shops and supermarkets are different from special medicinal oatmeal raw materials.

For making a healing drink standard Hercules flakes will not work either, because they are already a processed and processed product and do not contain those components that are so important in an oatmeal drink for cleaning.

The millet that is sold in buckets on the market will not suit you either, because very often such raw materials are treated with chemicals from weeds and fungal spores.

The most suitable for the preparation of broth are those grains that are sold in specialized health food stores or pharmacies.

The following brands are considered the highest quality:

1. Granary of health. This variety is available in packages of 400 g and 800 g It can be used both for liver cleansing and for dietary nutrition during weight loss;
2. Leovit Nutrio . This variety already has the prefix "Oats for brewing". These are specially selected oatmeal grains in a package weighing 210 g. Each 100 g of raw materials contains up to 10 g of protein, up to 56 g of carbohydrates and up to 7 g of fat;
3. LLC "Frame 9" . It helps to cleanse the liver gland of toxins and toxins, as well as relieve puffiness, eliminate acne and inflammation on the skin. A decoction based on this raw material can be washed, as well as added to cosmetic masks. The raw materials are packaged in packages of 250 g.

Preparing for the detoxification process

Any cleansing process requires preliminary preparation, since an abrupt change in diet can lead to organ malfunction and "shock" your body.

1. Clean the intestines. After you start cleaning the liver, all toxins will begin to be excreted from the body through the intestines. If it is already clogged and inoperable, then toxic substances will begin to accumulate in it, and all this will lead to serious consequences (for example, poisoning).

In order to prevent this from happening, you need to clean your intestines in advance. You can resort to the help of medicines. It is advisable to choose herbal medicines for these purposes. Ideally, you can use various herbs with a laxative effect.

2. Start following a special diet. After cleansing of the intestinal tract is performed, two to three days before cleansing the liver, you need to plan your diet and switch to it.

Exclude fried, fatty, spicy and salty foods from the menu. Give up canned food and smoked meats, minimize sweets and sugar, mushrooms. Replace all this with steamed dishes of low-fat fish and meat.

Add also Liver-healthy vegetables , fruits , dried yellow fruits (for example, apricots and dried apricots, lemons, persimmons, yellow sweet pepper, etc.).

Refrain from oil, drink as much water as possible (you can add a few drops of lemon juice to it).

As soon as you completely switch to such a diet, you can proceed to liver cleansing.
