Abstract

The liver is a dynamic, heterogeneous organ, which is under heavily regulated physiological control. The various types of liver pathologies are a global health concern with a significant mortality rate. The unhealthy lifestyle leaves its mark on the liver. The toxins in the environment, medications and alcohol are merely a sample of the factors, which could negatively affect the basic functioning and self-recovery of the liver. Along the conventional treatment, there is a widely spread application of phytopreparations as an accompanying therapy, and more commonly in the cases of less severe liver diseases they may be the main therapy. A number of medicinal plants are also used, such as milk thistle ( Silybum marianum ), dandelion ( Taraxacum officinale ), burdock ( Arctium lappa ), artichoke ( Cynara scolymus ), curcuma ( Curcuma longa ). They arе taken in the form of tinctures, extracts or tea and the extracted biologically active ingredients of the plants are part of the composition of various capsules and tablets.
