Milk thistle is undoubtedly the most representative ingredient of this herbal tea for the liver, the only one for which there is significant evidence about a possible hepatoprotective role.
With this term - hepatoprotective - we intend to emphasize the ability of a drug, or herbal remedy, to promote liver health and functionality; in vitro, for example, milk thistle has been shown to stimulate liver regeneration after toxic damage.
Equally well known and documented are its antioxidant properties, which protect liver cells from damage induced by free radicals.
The active ingredients of milk thistle are poorly soluble in water, which is why dry extracts standardized in silymarin are generally preferred to herbal teas.
Turmeric, like dandelion and mint, exhibits cholagogue and choleretic properties (it favors the production of bile and its outflow towards the intestine).
It is no coincidence that dandelion and mint are recommended by the German commission E for digestive disorders, as well as for liver and biliary disorders (like turmeric).
Cumin is perhaps the best known and most effective carminative drug, capable of promoting the expulsion of gas from the stomach and above all from the intestine; like the other drugs just described, the cumin alcoholic extracts have shown ability to stimulate bile flow in experimental animals.
;In the presence of real hepatic pathologies, the use of standardized extracts is more suitable, given that the therapeutic efficacy of herbal teas is generally modest.
