Milk Thistle
Milk Thistle
Milk thistle, scientifically known as Silybum marianum, is an herb renowned for its medicinal properties, particularly in supporting liver health. Its active ingredient, silymarin, is thought to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrotic properties, offering several health benefits.
Benefits
- Liver Protection: Milk thistle is best known for its liver-protective effects. It helps protect the liver from toxins and promotes liver cell regeneration. It's commonly used to treat liver conditions such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, and jaundice.
- Antioxidant Effects: Silymarin acts as a powerful antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals that contribute to aging and disease. Its antioxidant properties are beneficial for maintaining overall health and preventing damage to cells.
- Supports Liver Detoxification: Milk thistle can aid in the detoxification process, helping the liver to process and remove toxins from the body more efficiently.
- May Improve Digestive Health: By supporting liver function, milk thistle can also contribute to better digestive health, helping to manage digestive disorders and enhance the digestion of fats.
- Anti-inflammatory Properties: The anti-inflammatory effects of milk thistle can help reduce inflammation in the body, which is beneficial for various conditions, including liver diseases.
- May Lower Blood Sugar Levels: For people with diabetes, milk thistle may help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels, although more research is needed in this area.
- Neuroprotective Effects: Some studies suggest that milk thistle could offer protection against neurological conditions like Alzheimer's disease due to its antioxidant properties, though more research is needed to confirm these effects.
- May Improve Skin Health: Due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, milk thistle may help improve skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis.

Teas or Tinctures?
Teas or Tinctures?
Tinctures are best for strong medicinal activity, convenience, and long-term storage. An herbal tincture will have about 90% plant essence in it.
Herbal Teas are not as potent as tinctures, but they can be very effective for calming the nervous system, soothing the stomach, and brightening the mood. A herbal tea will have approximately 10% plant essence in it.
It’s best to combine them both.
NOTE: HERBS MAY COME IN EITHER LOOSE HERB OR POWDERED FORM. Any form does not affect their potency. Both forms maintain their efficacy and herbal properties.
