Chives are a familiar spice in Vietnamese cuisine, and have long been used in traditional medicine with many uses such as renal remediation, blood clotting, and especially supporting liver detoxification.
Today, modern science has begun to prove that some active ingredients in chives really have the ability to protect the liver and support the process of eliminating toxins in the body.
First of all, chives contain many flavonoids, saponins, organic sulfur compounds and vitamin C. These substances have strong antioxidant effects, helping to neutralize free radicals that damage liver cells.
From the perspective of traditional medicine, chives are considered warm, spicy, affecting the kidneys, helping to act, detoxify and relieve poison. This means supporting blood circulation and promoting natural detoxification.
When combined with a healthy diet and alcohol limitation, chives can play an important role in supporting the liver.
However, it should be noted that the concept of liver detox should not be understood as a complete elimination of toxins but should be understood as enhancing the function of protecting and regenerating liver cells.
Therefore, the use of chives should be considered a natural support measure, not a replacement for medical treatment when the liver is severely damaged.
