It is the hemochromatosis you want to treat so that the cirrhosis will not worsen, or at least progress more slowly. This requires frequent drawing off blood or possibly use of iron chelating medication. It's a rare enough condition that you may want to consult an MD who specializes in liver diseases. Herbal medicine does not have a primary role to play here. Your sister’s cirrhosis is a symptom of an underlying condition.

The ONLY things she should be taking are what her doctor has prescribed. I'm sure that you love her and want to help her and you may feel helpless to do so. But please do not solicit suggestions. The majority of the people who answer these questions have no medical background, no understandiing of anatomy and physiology, no knowledge of the disease process. Any advice given could be potentially harmful. The best help you can give your sister is to make sure she follows her doctor's advice, give her emotional support and assist her in her daily activities.
