Description: Milk thistle has been used for over 2,000 years as a natural treatment for liver, bile duct and spleen disorders, mushroom poisoning and detoxing a fatty liver. The plant is known in scientific circles as the Silybum marianum but it is more commonly known as milk thistle. It is an herbaceous annual or biennial plant belonging to the Asteraceae family that can grow to be ten feet tall with flowers that are red and purple in colour. The name comes from the milky white fluid that comes from the plants leaves when they are crushed. It is native to southern Europe, southern Russia, Asia Minor, and North Africa, and has also been naturalized to North and South America.
Benefits of Milk Thistle: Over the past forty years, intensive chemical, pharmacological and clinical research has confirmed the mechanisms of action and therapeutic value of milk thistle in a wide range of human liver-related and non-liver-related conditions.They have confirmed the remarkable ability of milk thistle to protect the liver and the body against virtually all types of damage. Today, milk thistle extract is used to maintain liver health and to protect the liver from the effects of toxins such as alcohol, a polluted environment or workplace, and a host of liver related diseases.
