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. Its use has been documented since 4 BC by Theophrasuts. 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. Milk thistle gets its name from the milky white fluid that comes from the plant’s 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. What are the Benefits of Milk Thistle:
Over the past forty years, intensive chemical, pharmacological and clinical research (over 400 scientific studies in the West alone) 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. Literally hundreds of modern research studies have confirmed the remarkable ability of milk thistle to protect the liver and the body against virtually all types of damage. Today, milk thistle is still one of the most commonly used medicinal plants in the world and is also the number one recommended natural herb for liver health.
