LVR
120 capsules |
LVR (Liver)
LVR is a unique combination of herbs that help the liver to detoxify. The liver is the chemical factory of the body, performing hundreds of tasks. Since everything coming from the small intestine must be processed by the liver, this vital organ often becomes overloaded – and overwork diminishes its functioning. Taking LVR is an effective way to help the liver cleanse itself, in a very safe and natural way. This supplement works slowly, steadily and surely -- without harsh side reactions. A unique detoxifying formula that is effective when taken together with rebuilding vitamins and minerals.

| Ayurvedic Medicine | | Definition & History: Ayurvedic medicine is a holistic system of healing that originated in ancient India. The concept of Ayurvedic medicine is practiced as eight major clinical sub-specialties, with other numerous adjunctive specialties. These eight sub-specialties include: internal medicine, general surgery, otorhinolaryngology, pediatrics & obstetric/gynecology, psychiatry, toxicology, nutrition-detoxification-rejuvenation and fertility/virility. Modern Ayurveda will include other adjunctive specialties such as preventative healthcare, addiction treatment, and weight loss approaches.
Ayurvedic Medicine, the oldest form of healing known, translates literally to "the science of life"; it is refered to as the "Mother of All Medicine". Since it encompasses the spirit and soul with strong focus on dietary and lifestyle choices, it is much more than a medical science. It is recognized by the World Health Organization as an effective health science.

| | Acupressure | | Definition & History: Acupressure is an ancient healing art and science of alleviating health problems based on traditional Japanese and Chinese medicine and developed 5000 years ago. Acupressure is a branch of alternative medicine where a diagnosis, prevention and cure to ailments are done through the touch of a doctor’s hand or by application of pressure by the doctor on the surface of the patient’s body. Acupressure is a traditional mode of treatment where a cure to an ailment develops without the need of taking pharmaceutical agents. This prevents any side effects often associated with conventional drugs. Acupressure is similar to acupuncture because it treats blockages of energy at specific points along fourteen meridians, or channels, along the body. While acupuncture uses needles placed at strategic points along the meridians, acupressure utilizes manual pressure. The practitioner uses fingers, hands and elbows to put pressure on the specific points in order to relieve pain and discomfort, prevent tension-related ailments, and promote good health. | | Click here for more information >> |
