Herbal Remedy to Detox and Rebuild The Liver




This herbal blend is a great one if you have a sluggish liver.
I have been making natural medicines for my family for years now, and they help us so much.  If you haven't done so in the past, you really need to try it.  Natural, full of wholesome goodness, there is so much benefit from our plants (or weeds!) around us. 
 
Recipe:
 
1 part Oregon Grape Root (also works as a natural antibiotic)
1 part Wild Yam Root (also helps balance hormones)
1 part Dandelion Root, Raw (also works as a natural diuretic)
1/4 Licorice (works as a demulcent)
 
Simmer herbs  in distilled or natural spring water, place 3 ounces to one quart for 45 minutes.  Remove from heat, then refrigerate.  Take 2 tablespoons 3-4 times daily, between meals.  Do NOT add sweetners.  You may increase the licorice slightly to buffer the taste slightly, or add a small amount of water to your daily dose, if needed.
 
NOTE:  You can also encapsulate this using root powers, and take 2 caps 3 times a day.
