Cleansing the liver with herbs

Traditional healers claim that herbal detoxification is considered a fairly effective and harmless way to cleanse the liver. This is explained by their mild effect on the body and the absence of negative consequences of use. True, the latter is possible only if the collection of herbs is carefully selected, and the person himself has been examined and made sure that he has no contraindications to the use of decoctions from them.

What is the secret of the technique

The success of this liver detoxification technique lies in the effects of herbs on the body. Traditional healers have identified several of them, which have a pronounced “blood-purifying” effect and have proposed a number of options for their use.

It is worth noting that most of them boil down to an increase in the production of bile, because it is it that promotes the breakdown of fats, activates the digestive tract, and also naturally cleans the liver.

Conventionally, herbs that are able to cleanse the liver are divided into two groups:

1. 1 those that have a mild choleretic effect, for example, strawberry or lingonberry leaves;
2. 2 those that have a pronounced effect – chamomile, calendula, fennel, calamus, immortelle.

In turn, the second group is additionally divided into 3 categories, depending on the intricacies of the impact on certain areas of the liver and bile, namely:

• Choleretics – it unites plants that increase the intensity of the cells, and also have a positive effect on the mucous membrane. Among the choleretics are corn silk, immortelle, dandelion.
• Holicinetics – they tone up the gallbladder, promote the excretion of bile through the biliary tract into the intestines. Holikinetics are called barberry and fennel.
• Antispasmodics – such plants facilitate the process of outflow of bile, and also reduce the tone of the duct. Among them are mint, chamomile, oregano.
