Dandelion root has been used for liver and bile complaints for centuries. The therapeutic properties of dandelion are due in part to its bitter substances taraxacin and inulin. The bitters stimulate the digestive glands and the liver and activate the flow of bile. Two studies, one dating back to 1938, have demonstrated that dandelion successfully treats hepatitis, liver swelling, jaundice and indigestion in those with inadequate bile secretion.
Turmeric
The most active component in Turmeric is curcumin and it is useful for treating liver and gallbladder problems, relieving liver damage, and for stimulating the production of bile. Curcumin has good antioxidant activity, comparing well with vitamin C. It is interesting to note that curcumin has good anti-inflammatory activity that is comparable to steroidal and non-steroidal drugs.
Ginger
Ginger's nausea reducing actions have been attributed to its ability to increase digestive fluids, plus absorb and neutralise toxins and stomach acid. Ginger has been shown to increase bile secretion, as well as increase the action and tone of the bowels. Ginger has a protective effect on the liver and the stomach, making this rhizome a good spice for people with liver or digestive problems. It is a helpful medicinal food for diabetics; ginger activates pancreatic and intestinal enzymes. Ginger also helps lower lipids, such as cholesterol and triglycerides, in the blood.
These supplements don't do the same job as a Liver Flush . The concern is that if you have Gallstones these capsules may contract the gallbladder enough to move the stones but not to expel them. You get a biliary colic attack. In such small quantities they are a detox liver aid but not a cleanser.
