Dangerous Indian Herbs for Liver: In today’s time, health awareness has increased rapidly, and with this, the use of herbal supplements has also become common. People consider them natural and safe and use them without much thought. There is some herbal supplements in the market for almost every problem, from losing weight to the skin, increasing digestion and strengthening immunity. But are these supplements really safe? Especially when it comes to the liver (liver), the question becomes more serious, because the liver is an important part of the body that controls all our detox process and metabolism. If they have a wrong effect on the liver, its results can be longer and dangerous.
Herbal supplements and liver
The task of the liver is to sort out toxins present in the body and remove them. When we take a herbal supplement, every component of it passes through the liver, so that it can be processed properly in the body. But many times some chemicals present in these supplements, herbal extract or adulterated material may put additional pressure on the liver. Especially when the supplements of supplements are taken more, or used for a long time without the advice of a doctor.
‘Natural’ does not always mean ‘safe’
Often people think that since they are herbal, there will be no side effects in them. But, it is not entirely correct. Many herbal elements, such as Kava, Green Tea Extract, Comfrey and some Ayurvedic herbs, if taken in excess or incorrectly, can damage the liver. The problem is that sometimes these products do not have the correct information about dosage, or the quality standards are not followed while processing them, which can provide impurities or heavy metals in them.
How does herbal supplements affect the liver?
When we take herbal supplements, the active ingredients present in it break through the enzyme system of the liver. If they have toxic compounds or have very high volumes, then liver cells may suffer from inflammation, irritation or damage. Over time it can cause fatty liver, hepatitis or in severe cases to cause even liver failure. Many researches have found that the level of liver enzyme goes above normal in patients taking herbal supplements, which is a sign of liver stress.
Who should take more care?
If you have any problem related to liver, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis or fatty liver, then it is necessary to consult a doctor before taking herbal supplements. In addition, people who consume alcohol, or are already on medicines (such as pen killers, antibiotics, blood pressure medicines), should be even more alert, as the interaction between herbal supplements and medicines can increase pressure on the liver.
Difference of marketing and reality
Many times herbal supplements are introduced as they are miraculous treatments, but in reality there is not enough scientific research on their effects and safety. They are propagated on social media and online platforms so effectively that people do not pay attention to their possible dangers. It is also important that no herbal product should be used by just seeing advertisements.
