Milk Thistle has been known as the “liver herb” for as far back as the Greek ages - that’s over 2,000 years of history as the medicinal herb for the treatment of liver and gallbladder disorders.


Liver

Milk thistle is often promoted for its liver-protecting effects and regularly used as a complementary therapy by people who have liver damage due to conditions like alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and hepatitis  

Studies have shown improvements in liver function in people with liver diseases who have taken a milk thistle supplement, suggesting it could help reduce liver inflammation and liver damage

One study also found that it may slightly extend the life expectancy of people with cirrhosis of the liver due to alcoholic liver disease

In Europe, milk thistle is given to patients when they are taking medications that have side effects that are known to cause liver problems.

MIlk Thistle clears obstructions of the liver and spleen, Cirrhosis of the liver and is a good remedy for jaundice

Pretty much anything liver related including conditions brought about by alcohol and (psychopharmaceuticals) drugs

The active liver-protecting compound in milk thistle, silymarin, (a group of flavonoids; silibinin, silidianin, and silicristin), help repair liver cells damaged by alcohol and other toxic substances.

Silymarin also protects new liver cells from being destroyed by these toxic substances- Studies show that silymarin helps ease inflammation and promotes cell repair which  may help ease symptoms from liver diseases like jaundice, cirrhosis, liver cancer, and fatty liver disease

Hormonal Acne

Due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, milk thistle may be a useful supplement for people with acne. Interestingly, one study found that people with acne who took 210 milligrams of silymarin per day for 8 weeks experienced a 53% decrease in acne lesions 

Endometriosis 

Milk thistle is a plant that contains silymarin, which decreases inflammation and supports healthy liver function. The liver is important to help manage endometriosis, it's responsible for filtering out toxins in the body, including excess hormones such as estrogen.

Prevent Age-Related Decline in Brain Function

Milk thistle has been used as a traditional remedy for neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease for over two thousand years.

Its ant-inflammatory and antioxidant properties mean that it is possibly neuroprotective and could help prevent the decline in brain function you experience as you age.

Amyloid plaques are sticky clusters of amyloid proteins that can build up between nerve cells as you age.

They are seen in very high numbers in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease, meaning that milk thistle could potentially be used to help treat this difficult condition.  

May Lower Blood Sugar Levels for People With Diabetes

Milk thistle may be a useful complementary therapy to help manage type 2 diabetes.

It’s been discovered that one of the compounds in milk thistle may work similarly to some diabetic medications by helping improve insulin sensitivity and decrease blood sugar.

In fact, a recent review and analysis found that people routinely taking silymarin experienced a significant reduction in their fasting blood sugar levels and HbA1c, a measure of blood sugar control. 

Additionally, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of milk thistle may also be useful for reducing the risk of developing diabetic complications like kidney disease.
