Doc, In the culinary module you talk about what ginger does for the liver when you’re talking about the 1st pass effect. Since I cannot have ginger, I’m looking for another herb that is as good or next best for this same thing. You mentioned peppermint and lobelia. Do they do the same thing? Or do they work in a different way than ginger?
Do other catalyst herbs decrease the liver’s ability to break down the herbs? Cloves? Yarrow? Pepper? Others?

Black pepper has some quite good benefits for decreasing first pass effect. It markedly improves absorption of both medicinals and nutritives. It has to be fresh ground. The ground, dry pepper has a really short shelf life. Or you can tincture it.
Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
