The Gastro-Intestinal System

Liver Disease 

When dealing with the Gastro-intestinal system, the problems affecting it may primarily be divided into just a few categories.

*Inflammatory                                     *Spasmodic

*Functional                                          *Infective

Conditions carrying different diagnoses are often approached in a similar way herbally so you will see some crossover in the herbs when maintaining a healthy digestive tract

The Liver:

Considered by herbal practitioners to be the most neglected organ in the body when it comes to health, the liver carries out many hundreds of metabolic functions.  Even without organic disease, the liver may have profound effects on overall health and well-being.  Many herbalists work on this premise when treating conditions which at first site do not appear to be liver related.  At present, herbs appear to be the most effective agents available in dealing with both sub clinical and clinical conditions of the liver.  Poor liver function is no small part related to the environment in which we live; a significant burden being placed upon it as a result of high levels of pollution, poor and highly refined diet, as well as direct liver toxins such as alcohol.  Furthermore, the occurrence of organic liver disease such as hepatitis, are increasing significantly worldwide.

Factors Affecting Sub Clinical and Organic Liver Disease:

-         Poor diet and polluted environment

-         Hepatitis may be transmitted through:

-         Intravenous drug use

-         Unsafe sex

-         Contaminated water, food, blood products

Symptoms and Signs of Liver Disease:

The symptoms of sluggish liver function may manifest as anything from non-specific digestive problems to poor skin to pains in the joints.  The picture for hepatitis is as follows:

-         Flu-like symptoms of fatigue, loss of appetite and fever

-         Abdominal pain

-         Nausea and vomiting

-         Jaundice and possibly dark urine

Aims of Herbal Support Therapies:

Except during the acute phase of hepatitis

-         To gently stimulate the production and flow of bile

-         To stimulate the liver cell to improve its metabolic functioning

-         To stimulate the production of the body’s natural detoxifying agents

-         To assist in liver cell regeneration
