Our liver does a lot of heavy work for us every day, let's make sure it stays healthy! Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is on the rise, but luckily, in its early stages, it is reversible. Understanding the mechanism makes it obvious that weight control and insulin resistance play a big role. We will discuss some herbs that help us to keep our blood glucose levels stable, like bitter melon and fenugreek. You will also learn how nervines and adaptogens can have a beneficial effect. But of course, we will also look deeply into liver herbs, also called hepatics, or hepatoprotectives which are the main pillar to improving the health of our liver. Some of my favorites are milk thistle seeds, burdock and dandelion root, tap root vegetables like beets and carrots, Turmeric, Schisandra berry and Celandine!
