These home remedies can help
There are various home remedies, all of which aim to reduce liver values. These home remedies are foods that are often easy to obtain and good to enjoy. The simplest method is to drink sufficient amounts of liquids such as water or tea.
The tea should be brewed with sage, which contains many bitter substances, or milk thistle, as these two plants are said to have positive effects on the liver. The same applies to a tea made from nettles, which can be easily made from fresh leaves. Furthermore, regular drinking of coffee can have a positive influence on the liver values due to the caffeine and other substances contained in it, which can significantly reduce them.
Liver values are also said to be improved by eating artichokes. These can be absorbed into the body as a side dish, in salads or even as tea. In addition, capsules containing artichokes are still available.
Bitter vegetables, to which artichokes also belong, are generally said to be able to lower liver values. To the bitter vegetables are for example also:
- Brussels sprouts
- Broccoli
- Dandelion
- Peppermint
- Arugula
- Hops
It is generally possible to lower liver values by drinking tea. Some herbs and plants, which are considered household remedies, can be poured over with hot water and drunk as tea after a few minutes.
In general, however, the effect of tea on lowering liver values is not considered very high. However, if the values are in the higher normal range or slightly elevated, it is advisable to try to lower liver values with tea – especially with a view to avoiding permanent liver damage. If tea does not achieve the desired effect, other strategies can be tried.
One plant that is suitable as a basis for tea is the artichoke.For this purpose, the artichoke leaves are chopped either fresh or dried and placed in a cup. Stinging nettles and dandelions can also be used, although they are commonly considered weeds. Thistle and sage can also be used to make a tea.
For sage, the dried leaves should be used, but for thistles, the fruits of milk thistle should be used if possible. If the tea produced does not taste good, it can be sweetened with honey if necessary. Furthermore, it is considered helpful to take in a lot of watery fluid in case of increased liver values, which is why tea also has positive effects in this sense.
