How can you Protect Your Liver from Alcohol?
If you have battled alcoholism like I have for more than 20 years you are also probably worried about what you are doing to your liver. Just browse through my blog and you will get a good idea of how much of a mess I am at times. It is very easy to tell which blogs I am drunk out of my mind, and at which times I am coherant and sober.
I've always been intrigued about what benefits herbs have to offer the human body, and in this case the liver! There are several herbs that I have studied about and protect the liver from alcohol abuse, poor diet, and protection from prescription pills. This is what I have found to be the two most beneficial herbs to protect the liver from alcohol:
Milk Thistle
Milk Thistle Extract
Milk thistle is a plant that contains powerful compounds that protect the liver against harmful toxins such as alcohol. Considering that I am not a doctor of any sort, here are a few helpful links if you would like to read about some studies about how Milk Thistle can help protect your liver from alcohol.
Dandelion
Yes, apparently all of those pesky little yellow flowers are great at protecting your liver from alcohol. Who would of thought that, right?
