Your liver has many functions.  The liver produces substances that help break down fats and the liver also helps keep harmful substances from getting into the blood.  These are just two examples of what the liver is responsible for.  Having a healthy and functioning liver is very important to keeping your body healthy.  There are some natural herbs and plants that can help you help your liver maintain the health of your body.

The liver should be taken very seriously.  It is an important organ, as it removes toxic products from your body.  When your body takes in drugs, alcohol or chemicals from the foods you eat, your liver acts in its defense flushing these things away.  As your liver fights off toxins, you sometimes need to give it a little help. 

My great uncle Bernard had a yellow tinge to his skin and the whites of his eyes – jaundice. His liver was failing and the jaundice was the outward expression of it.

You can donate 60% of your liver and it will grow back, but if you lose it all together, you die.
