This herb has been found to posses anti-inflammatory properties, aid in liver regeneration, and boost the immune system PMID: 30080294.
Dandelion Root
For centuries all parts of the dandelion have been used culinarily and medicinally by many cultures. Personally I have heard stories about Italian Nonas (grandmothers) on the side of the road picking dandelion greens and flowers to to add flavor and nutrients into their cuisine.
Medicinally, dandelion root has been used historically in Europe and China to treat various aliments including issues associated with the liver. The chemical composition of dandelion roots include carbohydrates, fatty acids, minerals, sugars, choline vitamins, mucilage, and pectin. The dandelion root has many health benefits some of which include its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anti-oxidative properties PMID: 28012278.
Ginger Root
The rhizome of the plant grows underground, and is the most commonly used part of the plant both culinarily and medicinally. Gingerol is the main nutrient in the rhizome and possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. PMID: 23717767.
Some of the vitamins present in ginger root are Vitamin C, B3, B6, Zinc, etc. Everyday Health
The liver and gastrointestinal health is interrelated, as one of the byproducts of the liver is bile.

Marshmallow Root
No, we are not talking about topping our hot chocolate with this type of marshmallow, although this herb is a great addition to our tea.
Marshmallow is a perennial plant, meaning it is planted once, and comes back every year. Its roots are high in mucilage, which has been found to aid in digestion.
Just as the Liver and gastrointestinal health are interrelated kidney and liver health are also interrelated. The blood byproduct from the liver is filtered out by the kidneys and exits the body as urine. Marshmallow may also act as a dietetic and flush out excess fluid and assist the kidney cleanse Healthline.
