Milk thistle is an invaluable herb

WHETHER you have an interest in herbal medicine or not, milk thistle is probably a familiar name. 

Farmers probably don’t want to hear about it, but herbalists will sing its praises from the rooftops. Milk Thistle is one of the most important and easily available liver remedies in the world.

It is used in a variety of liver and gall bladder conditions such as cirrhosis, hepatitis, gall stones, fatty liver (making it of use in hypercholesterol) and poisoning. The way we live can surround us with pollution, especially so in cities and when harmful substances end up in our body, it is up to the liver to detoxify and eliminate them. The liver is responsible for the breakdown or modification of toxic substances, in other words, it gets the bad stuff out of our bodies.
