Description
Raphanus Sativus is a unique herbal combination that is specially formulated for liver maintenance. Three herbs, Black Radish Root, Artichoke Leaf, and Boldo Leaf provide effective liver support.
Black Radish Root (Raphanus sativus niger), the primary herb in this blend, creates a tonic effect on the respiratory system, activates the liver cells, maintains a healthy gallbladder, aids digestion, facilitates a diuretic effect, is cleansing, is antibacterial, and is an excellent coadjutant for a hepatic colic by stimulating the secretion of bile. Black Radish root is rich in vitamin C which makes it an interesting ally during winter months to fight coughs, infections and free radicals. Black radish also contains B vitamins and sulfur. Its high content of fiber increase peristaltic movements and is a helpful laxative for constipation and bile movement.
The flower or head of the artichoke, commonly known as the heart, is reputed to be an aphrodisiac, although this claim has never been scientifically proven. Through the years, various studies worldwide have shown that people's blood cholesterol levels dropped after eating artichoke. In fact, an anticholesterol drug called cynara is derived from this herb. In 1940, a study is Japan showed that artichoke not only reduced cholesterol but it also increased bile production by the liver and worked as a good diuretic.
Scientific research has allowed us to better understand Boldo Leaf's mechanism of action. It contains boldine which stimulates secretion and elimination of bile, allowing a better food digestion. Boldo has a long history of use as a liver tonic and in the treatment of gallstones by the indigenous people of Chile. Boldo contains several types of primary constituents, including volatile oils (e.g., ascaridole, eucalyptol), flavonoids, and alkaloids. Boldine, which constitutes about one-fourth of the total number of alkaloids present, is said to be the major alkaloid. Scientists believe that boldine is responsible for the plant's choloretic (bile stimulating) and diuretic actions. In conjunction with other herbs, such as cascara, rhubarb, and gentian, boldo has been reported to improve symptoms related to loss of appetite. Ascaridole, a compound found in the essential oil of the plant, has been used as an anti-parasitic agent but has long fallen out of favor, as other compounds have lower toxicity levels. Boldo has also been shown to be effective for liver problems, heartburn and as a sedative.
