Liver Tincture is crucial in that it contains herbs like dandelion root, ginger root and garlic, which provide nourishment to help the liver rebuild and regenerate itself. A secondary benefit is that when the liver is healthy, it releases less LDL cholesterol. In addition to all of the herbs that support and cleanse the liver, this liver tincture also contains the antiparasitic herbs Wormwood and Black walnut – parasites hate those herbs.*

Liver Tincture Frequently Asked Questions
Can your liver tincture remove ammonia from the blood stream?
Most ammonia in the body forms when protein is broken down by bacteria in the intestines. The liver normally converts ammonia into urea, which is then eliminated in urine. Ammonia levels in the blood rise when the liver is not able to convert ammonia to urea. This results from a liver not functioning at optimum levels. If you improve liver function, you improve the ability of the liver to remove ammonia from the blood. With that in mind, instead of just using the liver tincture, you might want to consider full liver detoxification and blood cleansing for optimum liver health.
Pertaining to the instructions, how much is a 'dropper' or 'dropperful'?
A dropper or dropperful is considered to be the amount of liquid that's pulled up into the cylinder when you squeeze the top portion of the dropper. Generally, it will be about half of the physical dropper which is equal to ¼ tsp.
I can't use this herbal tincture because it contains alcohol, what should I do?
You can eliminate the alcohol in the tinctures by adding the tincture dose to some warm water. As the water cools, the alcohol will evaporate.
Should I take this supplement between meals or with food? Will it be more effective if taken on an empty stomach?
The tincture is not necessarily more effective on any empty stomach, but absorption into the bloodstream will be much faster if taken without food.

Liver Tincture Ingredients
Below you will find a list and description of all of the ingredients featured in this health supplement.
Milk Thistle Seed
For over 2,000 years Europeans have used milk thistle seeds as a health supplement for liver cleansing. Animal experiments have shown that milk thistle seed extracts are safe, even in large doses, with practically no side effects, as well as no embryo-toxic effect. There are no contraindications nor known side effects of concern. Milk thistle seed can be safely used by a wide range of persons, including pregnant and lactating women, although it may have a mild, transient laxative effect for some people.
Double blind studies on the effect of milk thistle seed on toxic liver damage (mostly induced by alcohol), chronic liver disease, and disease caused by certain drugs have been reviewed by medical experts. They concluded that basic lab and clinical data suggests milk thistle is a therapeutically useful medicinal plant product that stabilizes the cell membrane and stimulates protein synthesis, while accelerating the process of regeneration in damaged liver tissue, and that these effects are important in the therapeutic efficacy of milk thistle.
Over the past twenty+ years, intensive chemical, pharmacological, and clinical research has confirmed mechanisms of action and therapeutic value of milk thistle seed in a wide range of human liver disease, including toxic metabolic liver damage (such as fatty degeneration of the liver) and supportive treatment of chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis.
Literally hundreds of research studies, mostly in Europe, have confirmed the remarkable ability of milk thistle seed to protect the liver against virtually all types of damage including accidental exposure to chemical pollutants, toxic side effects of medications, liver diseases like hepatitis and even the self inflicted damage from overindulgence of rich food and alcohol—thereby enhancing overall liver health.
The United States National Library of Medicine has catalogued more than 300 scientific studies of milk thistle seed and its active compounds (the primary one being silymarin) in their medicine database.
Picrorhiza Kurrooa Root & Rhizome (Kutki)
For years we have used Picrorhiza kurooa as one of the key herbs in our liver tincture formula. Picrorhiza has been shown to protect liver cells from the many degenerative changes that would normally be caused by a variety of liver toxins. It appears to be particularly useful in treating both alcoholic liver damage and chronic viral hepatitis. Picrorhiza increases bile production in the liver, according to rat studies. It has also been shown to protect animals from damage by several potent liver toxins, offering protection as good as or better than silymarin (the flavonoids found in milk thistle) for liver health.
The major constituents in picrorhiza are the glycosides picroside I, kutkoside, androsin, and apocynin. They have been shown in animal studies to be antiallergic, to inhibit platelet-activating factor (an important pro-inflammatory molecule), and to decrease joint inflammation. According to test tube and animal studies, picrorhiza has antioxidant actions, particularly in the liver.
Fresh Black Walnut Hulls
Black Walnut is revered as a dependable remedy for bad blood diseases such as scrofula (degenerative lymphatic infection characterized by swelling and pain in the lymph nodes and joints), syphilis, and diphtheria. Black Walnut Hulls are also known to be especially high in organic iodine and are useful in liver cleansing programs, especially in expelling parasites. It is said to have effectively killed more than 100 known parasites.
Black Walnut has also been proven to be a strong natural remedy for the treatment of acne, thyroid disease, colitis, eczema, hemorrhoids, ringworm, sore throats, tonsillitis, skin irritations, and wounds.
Chicory Root
Chicory root, called kasni, in the far east, contains tannin phlobaphenes and reducing sugars. The seeds have carminative and cordial properties and are useful as a brain tonic and for headache, asthma and bilious vomiting.
Chicory is an acclaimed liver protective and is used in hepatic enlargement, fever, vomiting and abdominal pain. It also stimulates the flow of bile and has anti-inflammatory properties.
Medicinally, chicory has been used to help treat everything including: acne, cellulite, constipation, diabetes, eczema, gallstones, gastritis, gout, hepatitis, jaundice, liver stagnation, lymphatic cancer, rheumatism, urinary infections.
Dandelion Root
Dandelion root is a bitter herb that is highly effective in blood cleansing because it strains and filters toxins from the blood.
Dandelion root is a superb diuretic that improves the function of the pancreas, spleen, stomach, and kidneys (reduces kidney inflammation) without depleting potassium from the body.
But primarily, dandelion root is one of the great liver health herbs. It is the best lipotropic known, flushing excess fat from the liver, thereby helping to relieve chronic liver congestion. In addition, it increases the production of bile. And studies have proven that Dandelion root actually has "liver healing" properties for overall liver health.
Fresh Ginger Root
Ginger has a long history of use in herbal medicine.
- Ginger root has strong anti-viral properties.
- Ginger root helps control nausea, which makes it useful in treating motion sickness, chemotherapy, radiation, morning sickness during pregnancy, as well as in intestinal activating and detoxing formulas, and in liver cleansing programs.
- Ginger root is also a strong COX 2 inhibitor, thus helping to relieve inflammation and pain in the body. And not just the common inflammation many experience in a knee or shoulder, but also inflammation throughout the body, even in the brain of an Alzheimer's sufferer. Scientists now have convincing evidence, from decades of research, that the unchecked activity of the COX 2 enzyme may play a major role in the onset of many forms of cancer (including colon, skin, bladder, esophagus, and pancreas), arthritis, and Alzheimer's Disease.
- In the far east and India, ginger is renowned for its aphrodisiac properties.
Oregon Grape Root
Oregon grape root is frequently used by herbalists for blood cleansing and to stimulate the liver and gallbladder during liver detoxification for overall liver health. In addition, Oregon grape root is used as a mild laxative.
Artichoke Leaf
Artichoke leaf has traditionally been used in jaundice and liver insufficiency as well as for cholesterol reduction. It is thought that artichoke inhibits oxidation of low density lipoprotein and reduces cholesterol biosynthesis. It is a member of the thistle family and contains compounds that enhance both the production of bile and the liver's detoxification process. Many toxins are eliminated through the bile. Bile salts help to emulsify fats, which aids the pancreas with digestion. Bile plays a critical role in the body by helping to protect the liver from congestion and inflammatory responses. Bile is also necessary to create the right kind of environment in the small intestines. Artichoke extract can regulate the production of cholesterol in the liver and help convert cholesterol to bile acids. It also helps normalize the pH of the blood.
Gentian Root
Gentian is a bitter digestive tonic that supports liver health and gallbladder function and that stimulates the flow of digestive juices and bile, a perfect combination for a liver tincture designed for liver detoxification. Gentian is also excellent for improving appetite and digestive health, and for strengthening the activity of the stomach.
Wormwood Herb
There are in fact over 3000 different parasites that have been loosely grouped into four different categories. According to the World Health Organization, 3.5 billion people suffer from some type of parasitic infection. Not all of these people live in third world countries; many in the developed world have any number of parasitic infections, some of which are so highly contagious that extremely casual contact with something that has been handled by an infected person can infect another person.
Wormwood has been used for centuries as a parasiticide internally and as a hemostatic externally. It was first used medically for colds, sore eyes, and as a hair tonic, to control menstrual flow and swelling wounds. Wormwood can counteract fevers, regulate the liver and treat anemia and arthritis. It is taken as a bitter tonic and given to eliminate intestinal worms -- from whence it gets its name.
Garlic Bulb
In the 1950's Dr. Albert Schweitzer used the benefits of garlic to treat cholera, typhus, and amebic dysentery while working as a missionary in Africa. During both world wars, before the widespread availability of antibiotics, garlic was used on the battlefield to disinfect wounds and prevent gangrene. In fact, the soviet army relied so heavily on the benefits of garlic that it earned the name "Russian penicillin."
Garlic is one of the best infection fighters available for both bacterial and viral infections. One of its many ingredients, allicin, is a natural antibiotic that does not appear to create resistant bacteria strains. In addition, fresh garlic extract has been shown to be virucidal to many viruses.
Garlic possesses the ability to stimulate immunity and provide immune system support. It can stimulate the activity of the macrophages (white blood cells), which engulf foreign organisms, such as: viruses, bacteria, and yeast. Furthermore, garlic increases the activity of the T-helper cells (immune cells which are central to the activity of the entire immune system). The benefits of garlic may be particularly effective in treating upper respiratory viral infections due to its immune-enhancing properties and its ability to clear mucous from the lungs.
The same component that gives garlic its strong odor is the one that destroys, or inhibits various bacteria and fungi. The component is allicin, and when crushed, combines with the enzyme allinase and results in antibacterial action equivalent to 1% penicillin. Garlic is also effective against strep and staph bacteria and anthrax.
And finally, the benefits of garlic are anathema to most parasites and drives them from the body.
