Spices and herbs

[5grands]

Does anybody have a list of the good and bad spices and herbs as they pertain to liver functions?

Thank you for your support.

Along with following my GPs advice of losing weight, I have also changed my diet to more veg, fewer carbs and no sugar. Whether or not herbs or spices make a difference, I do not know, but I am very interested in researching this and giving it a try. I won't pretend to know much about this, but I try to check in with many different philosophies and see what makes sense to me. My own go-to source for alternative medicine is Anthroposophic medicine. I wish I lived near a practitioner but since I don't, I have the "Holistic Wellness Guide" published by Lilipoh Magazine. I'm not saying that you should trust this source without doing your own research, but I have witnessed my own family members in Europe who use Anthroposophic guidelines and they are thriving. In there (p. 49) it says "Herbs that support the liver functions: barberry root, burdock, dandelion, gentian root, milk thistle, Oregon grape root, parsley, red clover, and yarrow." Yarrow compresses are recommended. They also have a list of vegetables that help cleanse the liver. Again, this is one theory. I'm sure there are many good sources out there. Cross reference, do your research, listen to your body.

Hello,

First I would strongly recommend you check with your Gastroenterologist or Hep doctor prior to taking and herbs as some can be problematic for your liver.

BE CAUTIOUS, please.

Having said that there is a group of vegetables that have shown to be beneficial to your damaged liver. They are called.. cruciferous vegetables! Google cruciferous vegetables. Some are:

Radishes

Cauliflower

Turnips

Broccoli

Bok Choy

Brussel sprouts

The more bitter the vegetable the better I'm told it is for your liver and many doctors agree with that statement. Note: Steam cooking is best.

God bless you as you

continue your journey!
