Milk Thistle

Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum)

Milk Thistle, primarily known for its active compound Silymarin, is beneficial for liver health due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and protective properties. It helps protect liver cells from toxins, supports cell regeneration, and reduces inflammation. Additionally, Milk Thistle promotes liver detoxification and combats oxidative stress, making it a valuable herb for maintaining overall liver function.

Note: Milk Thistle seeds are best utilized through a decoction method, as opposed to a typical infusion (as for most herbal teas and blends). The seeds have a tougher exterior that requires longer in simmering water to fully release the beneficial compounds. To make them more effective within a typical herbal infusion, these seeds can be ground before brewing, allowing the active components to be more easily extracted and absorbed.
