General recommendations
From a nutritional medicine perspective it is recommended to take excess workload off this organ via sound eating principles and supplementation therefore improving the liver function and helping to ease the congestion.
- It is recommended to avoid biopsies (where a fine needle is passed into the tumor to obtain a tissue sample), as this carries a higher risk of causing internal bleeding.
- If the hemangioma is large it is wise to avoid contact sport, as a blow to the site of the liver may cause a rupture.
- Avoid use of the oral contraceptive pill.
Recommended supplements

A good, all-purpose comprehensive herbal liver tonic consists of specific herbs such as Dandelion, Milk Thistle, Globe Artichoke, Slippery Elm and amino acids and vegetable extracts, which will improve liver function and elimination of waste via a cleansing effect on the bowel.
MSM Plus Vitamin C powder
MSM (Methyl-Sulphonyl-Methane) is an organic form of sulphur. Sulphur is a vital component of healthy bile. Sulphur is also needed to produce the powerful antioxidant called glutathione. Vitamin C will neutralize free radicals generated during the phase 1 detoxification pathway in the liver and reduce toxic damage and chemical overload. Toxic chemicals are far less dangerous if there is plenty of vitamin C in the liver. It also helps the liver to regulate cholesterol levels and improves immunity.
Organic Flaxseed Oil
High doses of flaxseed oil are essential for improving liver function. Flaxseed is an excellent, vegetarian source of essential fatty acids beneficial for damaged liver cell membranes and assists in reducing inflammation. Some people find the flaxseed oil capsules much easier to consume than the cold pressed flaxseed oil liquid. It is a source of essential fats for the production and maintenance of healthy liver cell membranes.
