Organic Milk Thistle
The following article is reproduced with kind permission of P.Topham, U.S. Nutritional and Herbal Researcher: A thistle
is one of various prickly plants which usually have heads
of purple flowers. Milk thistle gets its name because it promotes
milk production in nursing mothers and due to the milky pattern
of the veins in its leaves. The liver is constantly trying to rid the body of toxins, drugs and other pollutants. Also, anyone with alcohol problems is putting a great strain on the liver. Milk Thistle is a superb blood cleanser. Milk thistle is rich in the chemical silymarin which increases bile solubility thus helping to prevent or ease gallstones. It has been used
as a remedy for over 2000 years. The German government approves
milk thistle as supportive treatment for cirrhosis and chronic
inflammatory liver conditions. Copyright © 2000 - 2005 P. Topham: |
