Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is a flowering plant that comes from the same
family as the daisy. Also known as Mary thistle or holy thistle, milk thistle
plant is native to the Mediterranean region, although it is commonly found
across the globe. This prickly plant has distinctive purple flowers and white
veins, which traditional stories say were caused by a drop of the Virgin Mary's
milk falling onto its leaves. From the powerful, targeted support it provides
to our hardworking liver to its ability to stimulate the immune system and even
promote skin health-milk thistle has a slew of health benefits that can be
harnessed to bolster whole-body health.
Milk thistle seeds contain silymarin, a group of compounds said to have
antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Milk thistle is thought to benefit
the liver and is often used as a home remedy to "detoxify" the liver or treat
liver problems.
Although milk thistle is most often used for liver conditions, such as
hepatitis and cirrhosis, the herb is believed by some to prevent or treat high
cholesterol, diabetes, heartburn, upset stomach (dyspepsia), hangover,
gallbladder problems, menstrual pain, depression, and even certain types of
cancer.
