astralagus.jpg (16369 bytes)Astragalus Root

Astragalus help maintain normal functions of the liver. Astragalus strengthens immunity to disease. It has certain inhibiting effects on molecular pathological changes caused by viruses, increases growth of plasma cells, stimulates synthesis of antibodies, and builds up body defense.  It enhances body energy. It promotes metabolism of serum and liver proteins, stimulates growth of antibodies, increases white blood cells, and thus increases resistance to viruses. Studies in the West confirm that astragalus enhances immune function by increasing activity of several kinds of white blood cells and boosting production of antibodies and interferon, the body's own antiviral agent. It is diuretic, detoxifying and reduces proteinuria and cures kidney disease. It inhibits gastric secretions, reduces gastric acid, and thus helps cure stomach ulcers. It is cardiotonic. It has even more remarkable effects on heart failure due to poisoning or exhaustion. It protects the liver and alleviates liver injury.

Milk thistle.jpg (29581 bytes)   Milk Thistle

Milk thistle is believed to protect the cells of the liver by blocking the entrance of harmful toxins and helping to remove these toxins from the liver cells. Milk thistle contains a bioflavonoid complex known as silymarin. As with other bioflavonoids, silymarin is a powerful antioxidant. Milk thistle also regenerates injured liver cells. Milk thistle extract is most commonly recommended to counteract the harmful effects of liver disease. Long-term placebo-controlled, double blind studies have shown milk thistle extracts to be effective in patients with liver cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis, and even diabetes due to cirrhosis. Milk thistle alters bile makeup, thereby potentially reducing risk of gallstones. It is most effective in extract form. A recent case report of chronic infection by hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus demonstrated potential efficacy of treatment with milk thistle. Milk Thistle (Silybum Marianum) contains silymarin which counteracts the toxic effects of a wide variety of poisons. Silymarin is a potent liver protectant used for hepatitis, viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, jaundice, psoriasis, free radical protection, fatty degeneration of the liver, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, degenerative disorders of blood vessels, mushroom poisoning and other liver diseases.Milk thistle has been used since the 16th century to treat liver disease by strengthening the outer membrane of liver cells, thus preventing damaging substances from penetrating. Milk thistle is thought to use the same cell membrane receptor sites as some toxins. The toxins cannot affect those membranes; regeneration of liver cells is then possible. Silymarin has a very powerful antioxidant effect; in the liver it is 10 times more powerful than Vitamin E. It reduces the action of the enzyme that causes inflammation in Hepatitis. It speeds up cellular protein synthesis, thus helping the liver to rebuild itself.

schisandra.jpg (4031 bytes)   Schisandra Berries
Confirming much of what the classical treatise on Chinese herbal medicine, the Shen Nung Pen Tsao Ching, says, modern Chinese research suggests that lignans in schisandra regenerate liver tissue damaged by viral hepatitis. Lignans lower blood levels of serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), a marker for infective hepatitis and other liver disorders. Schisandra fruit may also have an adaptogenic action, much like the herb ginseng, but with weaker effects. Laboratory work suggests that schisandra may improve work performance, build strength, and help to reduce fatigue.

licorice.jpg (8550 bytes) Licorice Root

It helps the liver detoxify drugs and is given for liver disease. Licorice strengthens the immune system and stimulates the adrenal gland. Licorice stimulates cell production of interferon, the body's own antiviral compound.   Chinese physicians have used licorice for centuries to treat liver problems. Asian studies show the herb helps control hepatitis and improve liver function in people with cirrhosis.Modern research has shown it to have effects upon, amongst other organs, the endocrine system and liver. As an anti-hepatotoxic licorice  is helpful in the treatment of chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis, for which it is been widely used in Japan.Much of the liver orientated research has focused upon the triterpene glycyrrhizin. This inhibits hepatocyte injury caused by carbon tetrachloride, benzene hexachloride and PCB. Antibody production is enhanced by glycyrrhizin, possibly through the production of interleukin. Glycyrrhizin inhibits the growth of several DNA and RNA viruses, inactivating Hepatitis virus particles irreversibly.
