The LEKRASET liver tea herbal blend is not a single-herb tea but a combination of seven plants chosen to cover different aspects of the digestive process.
- Milk thistle is one of the key ingredients (20% of the blend). Its seeds contain flavonolignans, which are traditionally valued in liver formulas. Milk thistle is added to the diet when people want to ease the burden of fatty food and irregular meals.
- Liquorice is used in herbal blends to support the mucous membranes of the stomach and intestines.
- Calendula is a traditional ingredient of blends for calm digestion.
- Yarrow is often added to herbal teas for appetite and a more even digestive process.
- Flax seeds release mucilage when brewed, which softens the taste of the infusion and its effect on the mucous membranes.
- Rosehip is a source of plant acids and natural antioxidants and gives the infusion a slight tartness.
- Hare's ear (Bupleurum) has long been used in herbal blends related to the liver and biliary system.
This combination allows the infusion to act in a comprehensive way: some plants are linked to bile secretion, others to the mucous membranes, and others to overall metabolism. That is why the blend is perceived differently from brewing a single herb.
