Five Important Facts You Need To Know About Herbal Treatments For Liver Detoxification And Psoriasis


By Kim Moser


In many cases, herbal treatments can greatly improve psoriasis. One of the ways to work with psoriasis is by correcting liver function. When the liver is not operating adequately, blood may be full of toxins and this can manifest on the skin. Episodes of psoriasis can also be triggered by trauma, emotional stress and infection. Often immune system problems have some involvement. So it is important that any herbal mixture contain herbs that target these factors. Psoriasis has a habit of coming and going and the longer you have had it, the longer it may take to clear up. So you need to have some patience.

A typical Psoriasis herbal treatment mix contains Yellow Dock, for chronic skin conditions and is also a liver stimulant. Cleavers assists with lymphatic circulation and stimulation of kidney function. Liquorice for its anti-inflammatory qualities. Gotu Kola helps with connective tissue repair and regeneration of normal tissue and Bupleurum assists liver detoxification and is also an immune system stimulant and corrective.

Psoriasis looks like scaly silver patches and is the result of excessive skin cell replication. The skin cells accumulate much faster than they can be shed and bleeding and itching often occurs. An effective topical application of cream of St Johns Wort, essential oil of Tea Tree and Lavender and Calendula will soothe the skin. However, the best treatment is to balance the entire body for more permanent healing.

There are two main phases of detoxification in the liver. The first phase converts toxic chemicals into less harmful ones but during this process free radicals are released. Too many free radicals can, in turn, damage liver cells. When liver cells are damaged enough by free radicals, they can break open and release their enzymes into the blood showing abnormal liver enzyme readings that indicate significant tissue damage. A Detoxifying herbal remedy has herbs high in antioxidants to slow down or eliminate this buildup of free radicals. Remember, the liver is one of the most amazing organs in your body; it is also one of the largest. Because the liver's primary function is to clean the blood of toxins, it is understandable that in recent times, this organ has come under considerably more stress.

The second detoxification pathway in the liver is known as the conjugation pathway. Through this process the liver joins specific substances along with toxic chemicals such as drugs or hormones and eliminates them via the bowel or the kidneys. This conjugation can break down when the processes of elimination are impaired. Sulfur-containing amino acids such as taurine and cysteine are important in the second part of liver detoxification.

In conjunction with herbal treatments, Glycine, glutamine, choline and inositol are also required to take you through phase two detoxification of the liver. Phytoplex is a product that will assist in this phase. Products such as Biological Sulfur will aid by providing the much-needed sulfur for the catabolism of these amino acids and assist with liver detoxification.

A common detoxification herb is Dandelion to assist with liver detoxification. St Mary's Thistle is another liver detoxification herb while Cleavers assists to stimulate kidney and skin detoxification. Shizandra has strong antioxidant properties and enhances both phases of liver detoxification. Tumeric is high in antioxidants and is an anti-inflammatory herb. Globe Artichoke has a cholesterol reducing capacity and assists with liver detoxification while Gentian stimulates accelerates elimination.
