Hepatitis C is a terrible disease that afflicts the liver. Millions of people have been exposed to this disease, but only a small proportion of those individuals have severe, chronic symptoms of Hepatitis C. If you or someone you know has Hepatitis C and has been treated with or without success, did you know there are a lot of herbal formulas that can treat the disease? If not, take these herbal formula suggestions and use them for the treatment of Hepatitis C.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Access to the internet or a local nutritional and health supplement store.
  1. Step 1

    Consult your physician first to ask if there are any problems or objections that she has if you decide to introduce herbal formulas for the treatment of your Hepatitis C.

  2. Step 2

    Go to your local health and supplement store and see if it has any of the following ingredients: Milk Thistle capsules, Licorice Root in powdered, prepared tea, or dried root form, and fresh or dried Ginger Root.

  3. Step 3

    Purchase any and all of the ingredients listed at the store. (Note: If the health supplement store doesn't have any or all of those herbs, they can easily be found in online stores.)

  4. Step 4

    Use the Milk Thistle herb on a daily basis to treat damage to your liver by Hepatitis C by either taking 120 milligrams (about 3 Milk Thistle capsules) 3 times daily, or by preparing Milk Thistle tea using the powdered form as described below.

  5. Step 5

    Prepare Milk Thistle tea by placing two to two-and-a-half teaspoons of Milk Thistle powder into about 8 ounces of water and bring to a boil. Drink this amount of Milk Thistle tea two to three times daily.

  6. Step 6

    Drink Licorice Root tea once daily by combining 1/2 to 1-teaspoon of the powdered form, or the dried Licorice Root leaves, in about 8-12 ounces of boiling water.

  7. Step 7

    Turn off the heat for the Licorice Root tea, let it simmer for about 5 minutes, and serve.

  8. Step 8

    Prepare Ginger root tea by first peeling the ginger root into thin slices and adding it to about 3-4 cups of boiling water.

  9. Step 9

    Turn off the stove heat once the Ginger root has been added, cover and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. Serve hot and drink 1-2 times daily to help with symptoms of Hepatitis C.
