There are many herbs that grow by the wayside, in the parks and empty lots, and growing up between the concrete that people try to kill off as weeds. These are some of the most potent herbal medicines at your fingertips. You will find burdock, yellow dock, comfrey, marshmallow, Queen Ann’s Lace mullein, jimson weed, Echinacea, milk thistle in all these places.
Milk Thistle is most often used to treat liver problems, which run the gamut from cirrhosis, jaundice, hepatitis, and gallbladder disorders. Silymarin is the active ingredient in milk thistle that makes it an effective herb that also helps our body fight against diabetes, as it is both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. A poor diet (which can damage the liver), toxic environment (which over-taxes the liver) and other related stressors: job, home, and emotional factors, all of which contribute to the creation of free radicals in our body. Milk thistle helps protect our body tissue from damage by these free radicals, and inhibits infection and disease.
Because silymarin is not soluble in water (tea), milk thistle it is more effective in capsule or tincture form to help enhance your liver’s efforts to detox your internal environment.
