Clearing the effects of birth control pills

Clearing the effects of birth control pills: Professor Akim Bouterra's advice, complemented by what the research says (liver), the precautions to know, and our resources to go further.

The best way to eliminate the effects of the birth control pill is to do a liver detox. As we know, the pill causes health problems, such as cardiovascular issues, breast or uterine cancer, mood swings, or weight gain. The liver is the organ most affected by the harmful effects of the pill: synthetic progesterone slows down the liver's cleansing capacity and reduces the activity of blood-purifying enzymes by a third. Estrogens also slow down the liver's work.

To support the liver, you should therefore do a "detox" based on a "mono diet" of fruits and vegetables. This is a good way to give the digestive system a rest.

In addition, practicing regular physical activity such as swimming or walking will help limit circulatory problems.

What the science says: liver

What published research says about the remedies mentioned above, for context — these studies concern material causes, while healing belongs to Allah.

The liver

Silymarin from milk thistle improves liver markers in fatty liver disease and various liver conditions according to meta-analyses (Ann Hepatol, 2024) (World J Gastroenterol, 2017); the Mediterranean diet (olive oil, vegetables, fish) reduces liver fat (Clin Nutr, 2022). Artichoke, black radish, rosemary, and dandelion are the detoxifying plants of tradition; fasting gives the liver a rest. Precaution: viral hepatitis or cirrhosis should be followed with a specialist; some plants are hepatotoxic (comfrey, celandine, kava) — do not improvise.
