Things to know
Currently, spring is just around the corner and nature invites us to gather wild herbs. These said herbs help us now to detoxify our excretory organs. Especially the liver, our most important detoxification organ, needs a little support after the winter. Following are the herbs that can be found in meadows and forests that stimulate bile production and gently detoxify the liver:
dandelion, wild garlic, and sorrel.
In addition, stinging nettle tea and birch leaf tea are excellent ways to help the kidneys.
All the herbs mentioned have a deacidifying effect and can be prepared well as a tea, or you can enjoy them as a salad or add them to vegetable soup.
