What is the best supplement to help and rejuvenate your liver?!
Question: Dandelion tea works wonders on a sluggish liver (the primary filtering organ of the body), gall bladder (which produces bile to assist the digestion of fatty foods) and spleen ( an organ producing new red blood cels), and it also encourages bowel action and reduces fluid retention. Drinking Dandelion tea is one of the most effective ways to detox your body, because it stimulates digestive enzymes and bile to allow the easier metabolism of fatty foods.
Dandelion leaves, alfalfa, aspargus, celery and vitamin B6 can all work as natural diuretics.
Dandelion tea is excellent for ridding the body of excess fluid because, as the tea leaves contain high amounts of potassium, the body is not depleted of this important mineral through the diuretic effect of the tea?
Ensure, for therapeutic purposes, that you buy organic Dandelion leaf as the commercial or teabag varieties have had so much of their essential oils pulverised from them. Another reason to use organic is one of the properties of the Dandelion plant is to absorb metal pollutants from the atmosphere ~ as such organic really is essential. Add honey to taste if you like as the taste can be quite bitter ..... or lemons or limes if you like the tartness?;
2 - 3 teaspoons per teapot would be sufficient?By buying the organic variety, the essential oils are still so potent that the spent leaves could be reused 2 - 3 times ~ simply refill the pot with hot water and rebrew for 15 - 20 minutes.?
****edit****
Limit your intake of Dandelion tea to a period of say 2 - 3 weeks at a time ........ have rest periods in between using it ?

Water, water water .... Ensure that you also hydrate your body properly with at least 2 - 3 litres of water per day as nothing substitutes for pure fresh water?
Try to cut back on dehydrating drinks such as coffee, tea, sodas and soft drinks and alcohol (if you drink any of these) as they will not only dehydrate you terribly but also rob you of your essential B complex of vitamins.
Take a multi B complex supplement also.... to support healthy immune, neural and digestive functioning. Get one including all the B's ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 andB12 etc. as they all work best as a group. Don't buy any of the B complex of vitamins individually but rather as a whole group, unless specifically told to do so buy a nutritionally oriented physician or naturopath ?
Please also ensure that you consult with a nutritionally oriented physician or naturopath or herbalist before using Dandelion herb if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and do not use on infants or young children ?
Try to cut out all junky and pre packaged foods and eat food as freshly and as close to its natural state as you possibly can...... pump your intake of leafy and green vegies, vegies, fresh fruits, wholegrain cereals and breads, cold water fishes and organic lean meats ?
hope this info helps you a bit?
Good health to you & yours?

Milk Thistle... works like a charm!
A diet of whole, raw foods, fresh juices, plenty of filtered spring water and regular exercise.
Beetroot is probably the best food there is for liver health.
What about a liver cleanse? My daughter-in-law always says you should cleanse your liver from toxins.She is studying alternative healing so I trust her.You might check it out.
Milk thistle, dandelion, and artechoke heart are good ones, and you usually can find them in a combination capsule.
Also, the amino acid L-Carnetine is good when take with the above herbs.
My husband had such high triglycerides that they could not measure his cholesterol. (Your liver is what cleanses these items from your blood). His triglycerides were over 500 (dr.'s recommend under 100). After about 2 months of taking the above combinations, his trigylcerides were under 100, and his total cholesterol was 140. I have seen amazing results with this.
My dad is alcoholic \ hep c and is in 3rd stage cirrosis of the liver. 4th stage is death. He takes milk thistle daily and his liver enzymes are completely normal despite having 1\3 of his liver working (of course I put all praise to God, who created the herbs to begin with)
Milk thistle has been shown to protect and cure the liver from effects of various traumas such as alcohol, drugs and viruses.
Milk thistle is the best. There are a host of others, dandelion, he shou wu, schizandra. When taking liver tonics green foods are good for the liver also.
