Weleda Hepatodoron Tablets 100

product description

An oral Liver Tonic.

Use as a liver tonic, to stimulate liver activity by improving protein and carbohydrate metabolism.

Hepatodoron is used to treat all chronic inflammatory and degenerative liver conditions, including chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, constipation and eczema.

It is often the second liver treatment, after a cleanser such as Chelidonium Comp. or Digestodoron has been used.

The liver is the largest organ inside the body, with several major functions. This tonic strengthens the liver and enables it to function efficiently, eg to stabilise the body’s blood-sugar level, detoxify poisons, process fats and proteins and remove waste products.

Symptoms of liver malfunction include sudden exhaustion, bad taste in the mouth, loss of appetite, distaste for certain foods, irritability or a general feeling of unwellness.

Rationale

Fragaria is the wood-strawberry, and Vitis vinefera is the grapevine. They stimulate liver activity and build up liver capacity, so its function is more regulated and strengthened.

As the principle organ of metabolism and digestion, a healthy liver depends on the quality of our food. Increase wholemeal bread and grains, and lower sugar and fat intake, avoiding all fried and deep fried food (which are very difficult to digest). The liver has to dispose of all the poisons we absorb from ‘unhealthy’ food.
