Studies have shown that certain herbs, especially when taken in high doses, when mixed with other medications or taken for long periods, can cause hepatotoxicity (liver damage).
Some common culprits include:
· Morinda (Noni) : In high doses, has been linked to liver injury
· Certain Chinese herbal mixtures, known to contain hepatotoxic compounds
· Unregulated "detox" teas: some contain pyrrolizidine alkaloids that damage liver cells
· Ayurvedic supplements: Some have been found to contain heavy metals or toxic herbs
The problem gets worse when:
· You take multiple herbs together (interactions)
· You mix herbs with prescription medications.
· You have an underlying liver condition (like hepatitis B) and don't know it.
· You take herbs for months or years without medical supervision.
Your liver is your body's filter.
It processes everything you put into your body, so don't damage it with herbs.
