Hepatics are herbs that strengthen, tone and stimulate the secretive functions of the liver. This causes an increase in the flow of bile. Remedies that also promote the discharge of this bile into the duodenum are called cholagogues. In treating the whole body, it is often beneficial to aid the liver and its function as this most important organ is intimately involved in all body functions and the health of all tissues. The liver is involved in digestive problems via the bile. As its importance would suggest, there are many hepatic herbs available to us, and the most useful are Balmony, Barberry, Black Root, Blue Flag, Boldo, Dandelion Root, Fringetree Bark, Golden Seal, Vervain, Wahoo, Wild Yam and Yellow Dock.
