The milk thistle in a very dilute form can actually cleanse her liver and help it adapt the body back to homeostasis. It does come in tea form and I would recommend that first. I would make 2 cups of water to one teabag, and only steep for 2 or 3 minutes until the water is a bit coloured. Then add 3 drops to 200 ml of her drinking water for day 1, and 5 drops on day two. If you need to add to her water or change it once a day do so but only dose her ONCE a day. Then take a day off. Start the routine again and every 3rd day give her a day off. This is allowing her liver to rest for a bit as cleansing can be tiring. If you can't find it as a tea, let me know.
