The amount of time that it takes for a liver to detox depends on the severity of the liver damage. A few signs that a liver detox is working are:
Headaches. When a daily routine has changed and bad habits (smoking, alcohol, etc.) are out the door, withdrawal headaches can occur.
Fatigue. A body must exert significant energy to excrete toxins that have built up over time. Expect to feel more fatigued and be sure to sleep for at least eight hours per night.
Nausea. A change in diet and lifestyle can be an adjustment for sensitive stomachs.
Cravings. Healthy diet and lifestyle choices can trigger cravings for those former habits.
Skin Issues. When the body begins to force toxins out of the body, acne, psoriasis, and eczema can appear.
Liver detox that occurs too quickly can be harmful. People who experience flu symptoms and severe vomiting may be detoxing too rapidly.
