Like regular potatoes, they support almost every function that the liver is responsible for in our body. Sweet potatoes have phytochemical properties that soothe a heated, irritated, stagnant, sluggish and toxic liver and help prevent spasms. They also offer a number of phytochemicals to balance hormones in the liver. The liver uses sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes to regulate and control some of its hormonal functions.
