Liver Treatment with Folk Remedies – 10 Proven Methods
The liver is a human organ, and even the slightest malfunction of its functions can lead to a fatal outcome.
This is primarily due to its multifunctionality. It neutralizes toxins, stores vitamins, synthesizes hormones and enzymes, keeps a reserve supply of blood, and secretes bile, without which digestion is impossible. One of the most effective methods of preventing liver disease is following a special diet and consuming foods that support its smooth functioning.

-
Help remove small stones from the bile ducts,
-
