Why are individuals with liver or kidney issues cautioned about potent herbal infusions?

The organs may struggle to properly process and excrete the compounds, leading to accumulation and toxicity

Individuals managing chronic conditions involving the liver or kidneys must be extremely cautious with potent herbal infusions because these organs are central to detoxification and waste elimination. The liver metabolizes the active phytochemicals found in herbs, and the kidneys are responsible for clearing these processed substances and their metabolites from the body. If either organ system is already compromised, its efficiency in processing and excreting these compounds is reduced. When the body cannot efficiently clear these substances, they begin to accumulate within the tissues, potentially reaching toxic levels or further exacerbating the existing strain on the already burdened organs.
