Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was looking for foods that would cleanse my pancreas. I got a list of foods and herbs. On it was horsetail. When I looked it up it said it could be damaging it used long term. So what its too long? And does it really regenerate your pancreas? How long does it take
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There is nothing called detoxing the pancreas. Pancreas is a gland and it works constantly. In fact, herbal drugs which claims to detox pancreas actually damage your liver and pancreas.
Many herbs and organic remedy contain alkaloids which are actually toxic to liver and pancreas.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain
