Can I support myself with herbs, e.g. turmeric, if I am diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver?

I am diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver, I follow a diet and take essentiale max, the doctor's recommendation. Can I support myself with herbs, for example turmeric, or maybe some other that will not interfere with the drug. Regards Robert
