It is believed that liver problems can arise only from bad habits, however, even with a healthy lifestyle, this organ requires special attention.
You must admit that usually the need to take care of the health of the liver is associated with fatty foods and other unhealthy habits … Really, even with a proper lifestyle, the liver may need special attention? It turns out, yes!
Why does the liver need special protection?
The liver is one of the most important organs that is responsible for processing, neutralizing and removing various unwanted substances, from toxins and allergens to an excess of hormones, vitamins and other natural products that arise in the process of life. Naturally, in this way, the liver passes through itself, including all medications, vitamins and other drugs taken by a person.
However, some of them can be unnecessarily difficult for the liver (or, scientifically, hepatotoxic). These means may include oral contraceptives, antipyretic drugs, and antibiotics … Moreover, the longer it takes to take this or that drug (and in the case of COCs * we are generally talking about constant use), the higher the potential risk.
How to prevent possible troubles?
If you wish, you can always think about liver protection measures in advance. Properly selected medicinal herbs and plants with hepatoprotective (that is, protecting the liver) properties can help in prevention.
These herbs include, in particular, prickly caper, yarrow, black nightshade, chicory, western cassia, terminalia arjuna … Powders and extracts of these drugs have long been used in herbal medicine to protect the liver and support its optimal functioning.
Where to find “magic” herbs?
Of course, in the modern world there is no need to wander through the forests and collect all the herbs listed on your own! It is enough to choose the right multicomponent plant complex, which includes all these plants – in the optimal proportion and correct processing.
An excellent example of such a complex is a herbal preparation , which is based on the achievements of not only modern, but also traditional Indian medicine – Ayurveda. Liv.52 has been on the market since 1955, it is used both as part of complex therapy for various liver diseases, and as a prophylactic agent when taking COCs, antibiotics, antipyretic and other hepatotoxic drugs.
