As the body\u2019s natural detoxifier, the liver must handle the flood of fatty, sweet, salty, processed and boozy foods and beverages that wash through the body during the year\u2019s final quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the kick-off to the annual liver trial draws near, we dive into the liver and its functions, and offer a trio of teas that give the organ a hand as it works its way through processing wine and whiskey, cookies and cakes, and gravy, goose and green bean casserole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Skinny on the Liver<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The liver\u2019s role in human health is much more than so much chopped liver. Among other things, the glandular organ performs up to 500 functions for the body, everything from maintaining glucose levels to stocking iron and storing nutrients.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fat makes up about 10% of the liver; when that number rises above 10% physicians consider it a \u201cfatty liver,\u201d and begin to counsel patients about heightened risk for type 2 diabetes. In addition to its detox powers, the liver also creates the blood upon which we all depend for life. It also possesses a magnificent ability to regenerate itself, which also contributes toward the relative ease (compared to other organs) with which surgeons can transplant livers. Also, when somebody donates half of their liver, the part of the organ left behind quickly begins building new tissues; in time, a full liver once again gets formed.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/AdobeStock_345189430-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2093\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/AdobeStock_345189430-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/AdobeStock_345189430-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/AdobeStock_345189430-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/AdobeStock_345189430-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/AdobeStock_345189430-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/AdobeStock_345189430-1600x1067.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Dandelion, which figures into one of our teas for liver health, is a powerful liver tonic.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The liver:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Produces bile, which is essential for getting rid of waste and breaking down fats in the small intestine during digestion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Manufactures cholesterol and proteins to carry fats through the body<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Creates proteins for blood plasma<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Holds 13 percent of the body\u2019s blood supply<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s one of the body\u2019s stars.

In addition, the fermentation process adds <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/kidney-tea-health\/\">health benefits to the tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of puerh\u2019s health advantages is its ability to decrease fat accumulation, which may help mitigate nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

It contains a variety of compounds, including sesquiterpene lactones, which have been shown to support liver health in several ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Choleretic effect: Dandelion root stimulates the production and flow of bile, which is crucial for the digestion and elimination of fats and toxins from the body. This helps to prevent the buildup of harmful substances in the liver and promotes detoxification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties: Dandelion root is rich in antioxidants, such as luteolin and chicoric acid, which help to neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation in the liver. Chronic inflammation is a major contributing factor to liver damage and fatty liver disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Hepatoprotective effects: Studies have suggested that dandelion root may protect the liver from damage caused by various toxins and harmful substances, such as alcohol,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/tea-for-eyesight\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"> certain medications<\/mark><\/a>, and environmental pollutants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"711\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/The-Liver-Supporting-Power-of-Tea-Botanicals-Dandelion-Root-1024x711.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/The-Liver-Supporting-Power-of-Tea-Botanicals-Dandelion-Root-1024x711.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/The-Liver-Supporting-Power-of-Tea-Botanicals-Dandelion-Root-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/The-Liver-Supporting-Power-of-Tea-Botanicals-Dandelion-Root-768x533.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/The-Liver-Supporting-Power-of-Tea-Botanicals-Dandelion-Root-1536x1067.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/The-Liver-Supporting-Power-of-Tea-Botanicals-Dandelion-Root-2048x1422.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/The-Liver-Supporting-Power-of-Tea-Botanicals-Dandelion-Root-1600x1111.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Dandelion root aids digestion and elimination of fats and toxins.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lapacho (Pau d&#8217;Arco):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lapacho, also known as Pau d&#8217;Arco, is derived from the bark of a South American tree and has been traditionally used for its medicinal properties.
