The liver wrap promotes the blood circulation of the liver and combined with a lying position, detoxification is optimally supported. The best time to apply a liver wrap is 2:00 PM, because the liver is most active then, the liver wrap is soothing, de-stressing and promoted sleep.

• soak towel with warm alkaline lye
• wrap a hot water bottle with the damp towel
• place the liver wrap directly on the skin (below the right rib cage)
• wrap again with a dry towel
• finally wrap a blanket around you

TCM Detox Feel Good Tip

Acupressure is a pressure massage technique that originates from Traditional Chinese Medicine. The pressure point responsible for assisting the detoxification of the liver is found on the back of the foot – approximately a width of two thumbs below the point where the big and second toe separate. Massage this point simultaneously with the thumb of each hand for two minutes in a circular motion.
