Hepatics are commonly used to nourish and strengthen the liver, the body’s primary detoxification organ. These substances may help regenerate liver cells, stimulate bile flow for digestion, and assist in breaking down toxins and waste products. They are often used in cases of liver stress, sluggish digestion, or to promote general detoxification. Herbal examples include milk thistle (Silybum marianum), dandelion root (Taraxacum officinale), and artichoke (Cynara scolymus).
