Hi, I enjoy a few glasses of wine a week (sometimes more) and have been told alcohol can hurt my liver. My mom tells me to abstain and to take milk thistle to recover the damage I have done to my liver. I’m not sure how much to take and how often and what else can assist. Will it hurt my liver is I drink and take these herbs?
Short answer, listening to our mothers is usually a really good idea. Milk thistle is very beneficial in healing the liver. Not drinking and taking milk thistle is even better.
Have a look at the Liver Lesson. Lots of good info and plants there.
