Blessed Thistle - most often taken in capsule form now.
Burdock - one ounce per cup of boiling water, infused for 15 minutes.
Dandelion - Tea, 1 to 2 teaspoons shredded root (or mix of root and leaves) in a cup of cold water. Heat and boil one minute. Let stand 8 hours. Drink two ounce installments throughout the day, up to 2 cups a day, for 3 to 6 weeks.
Garlic - crushed or sliced, good on toast. Also available in a capsule to prevent garlic breath.
Golden Seal - generally available in a powder, add to hot water, only steep 5 minutes.
Horseradish - fresh ground, very strong flavored but very much an internal cleanser (and will clear your sinuses also!).
Hyssop - used in a tea, 1 tsp per cup of boiling water, steep covered.
