Alteratives are the category of herbs used in treating the immune system, toxicity of the blood, infections, arthritis, cancer and skin eruptions. Alteratives help the body assimilate nutrients and eliminate waste products of metabolism. Specific alteratives are matched with the specific nature of the condition being treated.
Red clover is used to treat cancer because of its effects on protein assimilation; Echinacea is used to neutralize acid conditions in the blood associated with a stagnation of lymphatic fluids because of its antiseptic properties.
Dandelion root combines liver tonic properties and diuretic properties and is useful for treating chronic blood toxicity.
My favorite pair of Chinese liver herbs are bupleurum and peony. Bupleurum acts as an anti-inflammatory, inhibits certain hepatitis viruses and growth of liver cancer cells.
Using liver herbs, together with intestinal cleansers, can work to directly release the burden of toxic overload that can, over time, have negative repercussions on all our body systems, and our state of mental health in general.
