Each tube contains 24 tea bags and is made from wildcrafted and organic herbs. Ingredients include burdock root, sarsaparilla root, yellow dock root, and milk thistle seed.

Liver Tea comes in unbleached tea bags.

Burdock root is a vegetable native to Europe and Northern Asia, but it is now also grown in the United States and many other parts of the world. This plant has extremely long roots that grow very deep into the soil to find nutrients and water. The roots can be beige or brown, and on the outside the roots are sometimes black. Some animals and insect larvae eat the burdock root in the wild, and the root is also often eaten by humans. It can be cooked or eaten fresh, and is common in Asian dishes.

Burdock is part of the Asteraceae family, and can also be called Arctium lappa. Plants that belong to the Arctium genus have large, dark green leaves that can grow to be more than 2 feet (70 cm) long. The flowers of the burdock plant are popular with honeybees for the pollen they produce. The plant also contains "burrs" which can catch on fur and clothing, entangling people and animals. These burrs are the inspiration behind the hook-and-loop closures used on many products today.

Yellow dock, which is officially called Rumex crispus, also goes by the names curled dock or curly dock. It is in the Polygonaceae family, and is native to Western Asia and Europe. As a perennial, flowering plant, yellow dock produces a flower stalk that can grow to be nearly 5 feet (approximately 1.5 meters) high. Smooth leaves branch off of a basal rosette at the bottom, and have edges that are distinctively wavy or curled.

Flowers and seeds are produced in clusters on the stems, and the seeds are encased, so they can float on water or get caught in the fur of animals that brush by them. That helps the seeds travel longer distances, allowing yellow dock to spread and thrive. The root that takes hold from the seed is large and yellow, with a forking taproot that makes its way deep into the soil for water and nutrients.

Sarsaparilla has an official name of Smilax aristolochiifolia, and is native to Central America and Mexico. In addition to sarsaparilla, it is also often called Honduran sarsaparilla or Jamaican sarsaparilla. This perennial plant is a woody, tropical, trailing vine, with prickly stems.

Commonly used in the old-fashioned styles of root beer, sarsaparilla is often named for the country where it was found, such as calling it Mexican sarsaparilla instead of just sarsaparilla. With the spread of this plant to other countries, it can now be found in South America, the Caribbean, and the West Indies.

Milk thistle seed comes from the plant Silybum marianum, a member of the Asteraceae family. It is native to the Mediterranean region but now grows widely across Europe, North America, and other parts of the world. The plant is known for its large green leaves with white, milky veins and its bright purple, thistle-like flowers. After flowering, it produces small, dark seeds that are the primary part used in herbal preparations. Milk thistle has been valued for centuries and is commonly used today in teas and herbal blends.
