Hepatitis is a serious liver disease. It is estimated that currently 20 million people in countrys are suffering from hepatitis B and C did not most of the show hepatitis symptoms until 20-30 years of disease progression. During this time the infection is slowly eroding into the heart so that it will lead to cirrhosis or liver cancer. So far no natural remedies that are scientifically proven to cure hepatitis. But after some medicinal plant research after a promising natural remedy for hepatitis:1. Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum)

Studies have shown that Milk Thistle hepatitis cure, but prevent damage and liver function in patients with liver cioróis improvement. In Germany, where herbal medicinal products are regulated as drugs, health authorities Milk Thistle as a complementary treatment for liver cirrhosis, liver hepatitis and other diseases have approved.Milk Thistle has come from Europe, but now similar in many other areas of the operating climate. The result of the plant, experts believed that a substance called silymarin. Animal studies show that silymarin effectively:

* To promote the growth of various types of liver cells.* As an antioxidant that helps fight the oxidation. In an oxidizing pollutants free radicals known to damage cells. A number of studies have shown silymarin to prevent damage to liver cells due to free radicals.* Does not block these types of toxins and damage the liver cells.* Prevent Liver inflammation (inflammation).

In 1989 conducted the first study cioróis 170 liver patients with various causes, including alcoholism. Got about half (87) of patients silymarin three times daily for 2 years. The others (83 patients) received only placebo. Of 24 patients who discontinued the study, 146 patients completed (73 in each group) of the 2-year study. The researchers noted that the number of patients who died within 4 years of the study 31 per cent lower in the silymarin group than in the group of patients who received placebo. Beneficial effects of silymarin primarily in patients with liver cioróis due to alcohol abuse appear. The doctors reported that patients experienced the side effects of silymarin treatment.

2. Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra)

Glycyrrhizin has been in Japan for over 20 years as a drug for chronic hepatitis. In a study in 1998 researchers reported that glycyrrhizin promoting repair heart tissue damaged by hepatitis.Some of the subjects showed improved liver function also in performing his duties. A 1997 experiment showed that glycyrrhizin prevents advanced liver cancer in patients with chronic hepatitis C

Unfortunately, the side effects of licorice root potential. With regular use (more than 3 grams per day licorice root for more than 6 weeks or more than 100 milligrams of glycyrrhizin on the day), Herb’s is there, high blood pressure, sodium and water retention, causes low blood sodium, calcium depletion and electrolyte disturbances in the body. There should be signs and symptoms of excessive consumption of licorice root, headache, fatigue, swollen ankles and even heart failure or myocardial infarction (heart suddenly stopped beating.) Persons, glaucoma, heart disease, high blood pressure and avoid licorice hemochromatosis .
