Milk Thistle, also known as St. Mary’s Thistle, is a powerful herb grown in China and widely used for its liver-protecting benefits. It helps shield liver cells from damage caused by alcohol, drugs, coffee, toxins, and rich, greasy foods—making it a great choice for hangover prevention! Milk Thistle supports liver health, helping with conditions like jaundice, cirrhosis, and gallbladder issues, including gallstones. It also aids detoxification, colon cleansing, and digestive complaints like indigestion and constipation. This herb is rich in antioxidants and works as a cholagogue, promoting healthy bile flow. As a galactagogue, it boosts breastmilk production and is safe for nursing mothers. Milk Thistle also supports hormonal balance, easing menstrual complaints, cramps, PMS, and menopause symptoms. It helps with high cholesterol, diabetes, gout, and even prostate health. To use, chew 1 teaspoon of seeds thoroughly or add ground seeds to food. For tea, boil 1-2 teaspoons of ground seeds in water for 10 minutes. Packaged in a home-compostable, reusable zip-lock pouch, this product is vegan-friendly. Please note, the current supply is conventional, and organic options are out of stock. Use caution when combining Milk Thistle with prescription medications, as it may alter drug concentrations. Enjoy this versatile herb for liver health, detoxification, and overall wellness! Note: The 250g size does not come in a home-compostable bag.
