Soothing One's Liver

[Kingston]

I reach out for guidance and knowledge.  A question to the herb and roots users here.

Ginger tea for the stomach, most know this....Is there anything that specifically concetrates on the liver?

Any suggestions would be wonderful.

humbly,

..Kingston..

chiefblackbear...

Thanks for the information you have shared.  I appreciate that.  I did not know that Dandylion was good for the liver but this world is funny,  I have heard the same thing twice since I read your post.

Many thanks,

I suspect you did your lil google search already...but I had quite a chuckle with this article. Felt like it was a write up on gramoxone, not a piece of root that my dad feel he must slice like onion in the bagi I just eat.

But its very true what works for you does not work for everyone else and vice versa, the chemistry behind it can be quite amazing. Perhaps there is a reason ppl did not reply, specific to your situation. But generally I like to phsyche out why ppl click on some titles and not others - respond to some and not others.

 What is the most important information I should know about ginger?

Ginger is a commonly used flavoring agent and food product. Ginger is also available as an herbal supplement. The information contained in this leaflet refers to the use of ginger as an herbal supplement. When used as a food product, the benefits and potential side effects of ginger may be less pronounced than when it is used as an herbal supplement.
   Do not take ginger without first talking to your doctor if you

    * have gallstones or any other disease of the gallbladder;
    * have diabetes or if you are taking a medicine to control your blood sugar levels;
    * have any heart problems or take any heart medicines;
    * have a bleeding or blood clotting disorder or are taking a medicine to increase or decrease the clotting of your blood such as aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin), or heparin; or
    * take other herbs, antioxidants, or health supplements (these may affect blood thinning).......

Yes, I.

New User. Just got here.
Ginger, hmmmmm. A primary ingredient in many meat tenderizers, a potent antibiotic and antiviral herb. Besides containing 12 different antioxidants and numerous liver-protecting compounds, ginger also contains zingibain, a proteolytic enzymes which aids in the break down, digestion and assimilation other essential proteins. Due to this Ginger has remarkable anti-inflammatory properties.
Ginger may help the body to control autoimmune diseases, reduce blood levels of immune complexes and like the papain in papaya and the bromelain in pineapple can be used internally or externally for such ailments as arthritis, athlete's foot, bunions, bursitis, colds and cough, dandruff, depression, fever, high cholesterol, hives, indigestion, infertility, internal worms and parasites, kidney stones, laryngitis, liver problems, menstrual cramps, morning sickness, nausea, pain and swelling, Raynaud's disease, tendinitis, toothache, ulcers, viral infections and vertigo.

Yoods for liver health...

Carrots  - helps to detoxify the liver.
Dandelion - a potent diuretic (makes you pee).
Milk Thistle seeds- known to help to regenerate liver cells damaged by alcohol abuse and hepatitis.
Schisandra - used medicinally to treat viral hepatitis and other liver complaints.
Tamarind - seems to be anti-alkaloidal. Popular as a Latin American hangover preventative.
Chicory - Acetaminophen is toxic to the liver in high doses. 70% of mice given chicory extracts survived a lethal dose in which 100% of all untreated animals died. Reason that.
Chinese Angelica (Dang Quai) - assists the liver in it's usage of oxygen. (Not for pregnant women!)
Licorice - contains glycyrrhizin which inhibits liver cellular damage.
Tumeric - Anti-inflammatory. Contains many liver protecting compounds.

Chiefblackbear, not only is Lemon grass tasty but also fungicidal (anti-fungal).

Sorry...

Additional, anyone under a physicians care should consult 'dem Babylon Doctor. The I should rub a fair amount of an herb on the arm and wait about 3 to 6 hours before internalizing (eating) new or unknown herbs, yood stuffs, or medicinals.

[Kingston]

Yes...

A healthy lifestyle can cure most of what is trhown at us.  Simple and true.

Greetings

Now reading this msg, and InI would like to suggest some Milk Thistle as a good liver tonic. It helps to strengthen the liver to allow it to detoxify the body more efficiently. It is popular among rum drinkers, but all of InI can benefit from this herb from time to time

Yes. Respect and thank you for the important reminder. Milk Thistle has actually been said to assist regeneration of dis-eased and dying liver cells. Cirrhosis of the Liver, Hepatitis and other debilitating liver ailments have been said to have been reversed and thwarted by the ingestion of milk thistle.

Warning : In large quantities this plant is toxic to bovines. If you grow a crop of cattle (I'm not sure how goat is affected), keep them away from it.
