Milk Thistle

Milk Thistle

 

Milk Thistle looks a lot like Burdock - as you can see here.   

But Milk Thistle can say something that Burdock cannot...

"I can prevent or treat a hangover"

Milk Thistle, 2015

That's a mighty big statement, Milk Thistle!

So here's the skinny on that statement, miraculously made by my tiny little Milk Thistle plants ;)

Milk Thistle contains the active ingredient Silymarin, which has the ability to alter the actual surface of the liver.  Doing so keeps toxins from entering, or, if some get through or are already present, Silymarin is able to neutralize these toxins.  The same Silymarin also enhances liver cell regeneration.

You can see where this information is leading...

Can't you?

Milk Thistle can reduce damage done to your liver; whether this damage is caused by drug or alcohol use, heavy metals and pesticides, and even hepatitis.

You can bet your boots that we'll be making products to prevent and cure your hangovers and to heal and repair your liver.  I think of all of the herbs that we're nurturing and growing I am most excited about Milk Thistle.  

In addition to basically detoxifying your liver and improving its overall function, Milk Thistle also aids digestion.  This is not to be down-played, as digestive issues are no fun to deal with and they oftentimes keep your body from properly utilizing vitamins and minerals.  

Improving digestion improves your immune system as well.  Combine a pumped up immune system with better absorption of vitamins and minerals and you're well on your way to greatly improved health overall!

I hope that you all have a most-terrific day... whatever day it is that you may be reading this ;)
