simple daily experiences, such as the stress of a bad or personal relationship,
through toxic work and home environments, not getting along with co-workers, or
a boss who is being difficult, work load that is too heavy to complete on a given
timetable. Basically, the liver becomes toxic through relationships that do not
serve you or bring joy into your life.

its function, which is to remove pollutants from your body.
