In Romania (and not only) it is one of the most famous herbal remedies (in various forms) for the liver. Dosage and adminsitration methods should be recommended by a specialist, of course, considering your particular health condition.

Online there are available various medical studies and reports about connection of this with the liver and not only.

I would suggest, as said, to consult a specialist in such herbal remedies regarding whether it's good for you, particularly, and if so, in what dosage and how to adminsiter it.
