Adam went into the ABC 774 studios this morning to make Red Symons a weed filled Green Smoothie.

Here’s some clarification on liver helping herbs:
St Mary’s Thistle, or Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_thistle) has been proven to help a number of liver complaints.
These two related plants are easier to find and have traditionally been used for liver complaints.
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)
With its teeth like leaves, and single flower on a stalk. One of the most nutritious plants in the world! All parts are edible. The roots can be slow roasted to make a coffee substitute.
Sow Thistle also confusingly known as Milk Thistle (Sonchus oleraceus and Sonchus asper)
Looks a bit like dandelions with a trunk. A tasty salad green. Eat the flowers, seeds, young leaves.
