Question
What oils are good for the liver and for the adrenal glands?

Answer
If you are wanting to detoxify the liver and decongest it.  I would suggest first of all using LivN (a blend).  This oils is specifically blended to clear out and cleanse the liver.  It contains blue tansy, celery seed, grapefruit, helichrysum, ledum, myrrh and yellow yarrow.  The use of LivN is best after a liver cleansing program.  Help your liver to detoxify and rid itself of toxins and then use LivN to help it rebuild healthy cells.  All of the citrus oils are also good for liver detoxification, such as lemon, grapefruit, mandarin, and orange.  

For your adrenal glands I would start by trying some clove oil.  You can take it internally in some gel capsules by mixing it with carrier oil in a 1:4 ratio and take once per day.  This will help cleanse and build up your adrenal function and I have heard reported a noticeable increase in energy within 3 days.  You can also mix some clove with a carrier oil and apply it to your adrenal glands then cover it with a warm towel or heating pad as a compress.  The blend Energy is also and oil noted for building up the adrenal glands.  It will also provide you with an extra boost in energy.  

The secret with essential oils is that they are not like pills you get from the pharmacy in that they are not a quick fix that mask your symptoms.  So make yourself a plan of oils to use and do it faithfully and if in a month or two you don't see a marked difference in symptoms start experimenting with other oils.  Be consistent and diligent with any oil application to see result.

Let me know if there is any other question I can answer for you.
