Here’s a safe and evidence-based look at the idea of a “daily drink for a healthy liver and intestines,” inspired by traditional Chinese practices. While no single drink guarantees perfect liver or gut health, certain ingredients can support digestion, liver function, and overall wellness.
Ingredients Commonly Used in Traditional Chinese Health Drinks
1. Ginger
-
Supports digestion and reduces bloating.

Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may benefit liver health.
2. Goji Berries
-
Rich in antioxidants and vitamins.

3. Green Tea or Oolong Tea

4. Dandelion Root or Leaf

Can be steeped as a tea.
5. Lemon or Citrus

May help stimulate bile production for digestion.
