Applications
Milk thistle is profoundly cleansing and is an excellent means of protecting and promoting the health of the liver. It's good for helping the body digest alcohol and rich food and it can also be used as a travel sickness preventative. If you’ve had a drink or two, try taking Milk Thistle before you go to bed and again in the morning.

It can encourage a healthy bile flow, prevent damage from harmful toxins and encourage the regeneration of healthy liver tissue. It is particularly recommended for cirrhosis of the liver brought on by alcohol excess, environmental poisoning and fatty congestions. In cases of high blood pressure and hepatitis it can cleanse the blood and engender optimum circulation.

Recent experimental work has indicated that milk thistle will stimulate the immune system and encourage the growth and protection of healthy nerve tissue. As part of a detox regime it is said to help improve skin condition in those prone to acne or psoriasis.

Safety Data
Milk thistle is virtually devoid of any side effects and may be used by most people, including pregnant and breast-feeding women. Some herbalists recommend it for itching due to poor gallbladder function during pregnancy. Since it stimulates liver and gallbladder activity, it may have a mild laxative effect on some people. But this should only last for two to three days.

About the Product
The herb has been used medicinally for at least 2000 years with Pliny the Elder alluding to its cleansing and healing properties in the 1st century. Nicholas Culpeper, the well-known 17th-century pharmacist, cited its use for opening “obstructions” of the liver and spleen and recommended it for the treatment of jaundice.
