The liver plays a crucial role in our body, participating in many vital functions such as food processing, blood detoxification from toxins, and overall health maintenance. However, under the influence of various factors such as improper diet, stress, and exposure to toxic substances, the liver may experience a burden leading to dysfunction.

Restoring the liver may require a comprehensive approach, and herbs, as well as hirudotherapy (leech therapy), can be integral to this process.

Herbs for Liver Restoration:

1. Milk Thistle (Silybum Marianum): This plant is often used to support liver health. Its active component possesses antioxidant properties and contributes to the restoration of liver cells.

2. Turmeric (Curcuma Longa): Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, the primary active component in turmeric may help reduce inflammation in the liver and promote regeneration.

3. Celandine (Chelidonium Majus): Traditionally used for liver disease treatment, this plant may help improve bile activity and reduce inflammation.

4. Dandelion (Taraxacum Officinale): Stimulates the elimination of toxins from the liver and aids in its detoxification.

5. Schisandra (Schisandra Chinensis): This adaptogen helps the body cope with stress, which can be beneficial for the liver, especially under conditions of overload.

Hirudotherapy (Leech Therapy)

Hirudotherapy has long been used in medical practice to improve blood circulation and reduce inflammation. In the context of liver restoration, leeches can be placed in the liver area for the following benefits:

1. Microcirculation Improvement: The secretions released by leeches contain substances that dilate blood vessels, enhancing blood circulation and providing better delivery of oxygen and nutrients to liver cells.

2. Inflammation Reduction: Enzymes present in leech saliva may have anti-inflammatory effects, contributing to the reduction of inflammation in liver tissues.

3. Blood Cleansing: Leeches can assist in removing excess toxins from the blood, easing the burden on the liver.
