Labrador tea is a marvelous herb for regenerating the liver. It is known as “Ioke” to indigenous Alaskans. This abundant herb carries the ability to neutralize toxins in liver cells and blood stream, making it an antidote for hangover and food poisoning. A few sips of this tea will settle even the worst case of indigestion.
In addition to cleansing and regenerating liver cells, Labrador tea is regenerative to the pancreas. It can help restore blood sugar balance when used over several weeks or months and accompanied by a positive change in dietary habits. Use only in micro doses if you have high blood pressure or heart palpitations.
If you are very sensitive to herbs, try Labrador tea hydrosol, seasonally available from DiamondHeart.
