Home Remedies for liver troubles, including feet and legs swelling

1. LIVER TEA

2 parts unroasted buckwheat groats
2 parts sprouts (mung bean, alfalfa, soy, or any)
1 part Shiitake Mushroom, dried and soaked
1 part Daikon
2 parts Daikon Greens (or Turnip Greens, Radish Greens, or big greens)
1 part Scallion

Chop all vegetables, and combine in a large pot. Add 5 times the total volume of water. Bring to a boil, lower the flame, and simmer for about 30 minutes. Strain and drink the tea.

2. GREENS JUICE

2 parts Daikon Greens
1 part Cabbage
1 part Scallion
2 parts Big Leafy Greens

Juice the greens. The best way is to very finely chop them, mash by hand in a suribachi, and then squeeze out the juice. Then simmer the juice for 2 to 3 minutes. Add a few drops of lemon juice or tangerine juice. Drink as is.

Alternatively, 2/3 part of the Greens Juice can be mixed with 1/3 part of apple juice or apple cider.

3. SOUR GREENS APPLE SAUCE

Peel and grate a sour green apple (Granny Smith). Put in a small saucepan. Add a small amount of water, and simmer for about 2 minutes.
4. APPLE CIDER WITH TANGERINE JUICE OR LEMON JUICE

Squeeze juice from tangerine or lemon into a small cup of cool apple cider. Drink.

5. STEAMED GREENS WITH LEMON JUICE

Steam any chopped Big Leafy Greens with a high steam for about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from steamer and place in a serving dish. Squeeze on several drops of lemon juice.

6. GREEN MAGMA

May be considered a supplement for some occasions.

7. AMASAKE WITH LEMON JUICE OR TANGERINE JUICE

Squeeze juice from a lemon or tangerine into a small cup of cool Amasake, and drink.
8. UMEBOSHI VINEGAR OR BROWN RICE VINEGAR

Use only a small amount sometimes. Excess will cause tightness.

9. SWEET & SOUR TASTE

Generally, replace sweets with sweet & sour taste for liver disorder.

10. HOT WATER BOTTLES UNDER FEET

For cases of swelling feet or legs, avoid hot water bottles, which can increase swelling. Rather, do a hot wet towel scrub.


NOTE: Case by case, proportions become different, as does the cooking time. Causes may include excess use of tahini, miso, bread, sweets, and other heavy foods.
