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.

Red clover (above) is used to treat cancer because of its effects on protein assimilation.

Echinacea (above) is used to neutralize acid conditions in the blood associated with a stagnation of lymphatic fluids because of its antiseptic properties.

Cascara sagrada (above) is used when a laxative is required to eliminate toxic conditions resulting from constipation.


Dandelion (above) 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, pictured above. 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.
