Botanical Names: Silybum Marianum, Carduus Marianus
Common Names: Holy Thistle, Marythistle, St. Mary’s Thistle, Marian Thistle The dried fruit of the Milk Thistle plant, known as "achenes," are used to produce modern herbal extracts. Milk Thistle has been used medicinally for over 2,000 years for opening “obstructions” of the liver and spleen, and it was recommended it for the treatment of jaundice.
The active constituent in milk thistle is a flavonoid complex called silymarin, which is also a potent antioxidant. Milk thistle may protect liver cells by preventing and removing toxins. It has been shown that silymarin can regenerate injured liver cells and has the ability to block fibrosis, a process that leads to cirrhosis of the liver. Individuals that have these type of inflammatory liver conditions due to alcohol abuse or hepatitis, may benefit from this herb. Milk thistle also changes bile makeup and may reduce the risk of gallstones.
