Bitters

Universally recognized as strengthening for digestion, bitter herbs cause a reflexive secretion of gastric juices and tone the muscles of the digestive tract. They also support detoxification by helping the liver process incoming nutrients and filter impurities from circulation. And they have antibacterial and heat-clearing properties, which support immunity and pitta balance. Herbalists often combine barberry, turmeric, dandelion, celandine, goldenseal, gentian, chiretta, and/or neem in “bitter” formulas. These herbs are best taken in small doses as tea or diluted extracts 20 to 30 minutes before a meal to support liver function, detoxification, and digestion. (Pregnant women should check with their doctor first.)

Anyone taking conventional medicine should be very, very cautious of adding alternative remedies to the mix too. They may conflict rather than supplement the conventional medication and no one should take any extra supplements unless they check with their doctor because some herbal medication and suchlike may even be dangerous to the liver.

Whilst I totally accept that some people take supplements and herbal/alternative medication with some positive results it has to be done with some caution since these over the counter products don't go through the same testing and quality controls as prescribed medication & can indeed be very dangerous to the liver.

Be careful if you have low platelets, tumeric makes blood thinner so it should not be taken. Dandelion is the only herb here I would risk. I was told to never take supplemental vitamins or herbs but instead to research the healthiest foods and eat those in a clean simple manner. So thats what I do.
