Alternative medicine
There are no alternative medications that have been shown to be effective in treating liver disease. Several studies have shown potential benefits, but further research is needed.
Some dietary supplements and natural products can also harm your liver. Over 1,000 prescriptions and herbal products have been linked to liver damage, including:
- Nutrient A
- Skullcap
- Chaparral
- Comfrey
- Kava
- Pennyroyal oil
It’s important to discuss the potential dangers with your PCP before taking any alternative or integral prescriptions.
