Black Radish
Raphanus sativus var. niger
Black Radish has traditionally been used in Mexican and Chinese medicine and cuisine to support liver and gallbladder health.* Bitter and pungent in taste, these radishes continue to be used by modern herbalists to support the body’s natural cleansing processes.*
What is Black Radish Used For?
In studies, Black Radish has been shown to support healthy blood lipid levels, and it also has been shown to promote the overall health of the gallbladder.* The liver normally has many roles within the body, including natural detoxification and cleansing. Black Radish supports liver detoxification enzymes and the release of bile, which naturally helps transport toxins out of the body.*
