Linaria vulgaris, toadflax

 Good liver tonic. Especially good for hepatitis and/or liver stress. Good for bad food, too much booze and not enough sleep. Good for hangovers. Better for short term use in younger folks who binge drink. Dried leaf is good as tea.

From  SPECIFIC INDICATIONS FOR HERBS IN GENERAL USE Third edition Michael Moore:

LINARIA 

Hepatitis with rebound elevations of bilirubin, SGOT and SGPT at a later time. Jaundice, general recuperative. Blood serum levels: bilirubinemia without active hepatitis. Blood serum levels: SGOT, SGPT elevations with elevated bilirubin, no active hepatitis. Hangover, liverish, dark circles under eyes.
