Strawberry juice is recommended in treating liver disorders such as hepatitis, chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis. It is best if the juice is consumed on an empty stomach, 3 cups a day. The juice stimulates liver activity and encourages the renewal of hepatic cells and tissue.
Diabetes, goutiness, high cholesterol levels and arteriosclerosis can be prevented and alleviated after a 12-day cure with wild strawberry. If a vegetarian diet is associated, the cures effect is remarkable.
