Ultimate Support for Healthy Liver FunctionMilk thistle is an herbaceous annual or biennial plant with a dense-prickly flower head with reddish-purple tubular flowers. It's native to the Mediterranean region and has been natural- ized in Central Europe, North and S outh America, and Southern Australia. The medical use of milk thistle can be traced back more than 2,000 years. Milk thistle is an excellent liver tonic. It protects the cells of the liver by blocking the entrance of harmful toxins and helping remove these toxins from the liver cells. Silymarin, a bioflavonoid present in Milk Thistle fruit, is a powerful antioxidant and has also been shown to regenerate injured liver cells. Silymarin has the ability to block fibrosis, a process that contributes to the eventual development of cirrhosis in people with inflammatory liver conditions from alcohol abuse or viral liver illness. Milk thistle extract is most commonly recommended to counteract this harmful action of alcohol on the liver. Milk Thistle helps the liver return to a healthy state, once a person stops drinking. Milk Thistle is supports the liver in response to many conditions including: Alcohol-related liver disease Liver viruses Liver cell fibrosis or cell damage Gallstones Milk Thistle Extract by Gaia Herbs is selectively hand-gathered from its natural, wild habitat and has never been fumigated or irradiated. Milk thistle has an extensive history of use as an medicinal and edible plant. In the 1st century AD, Pliny the Elder reported that it improved bile flow. Theophrastus (IV century BC) and Dioscorides (1st century.AD) also wrote of its medicinal value. The English herbalist, Nicholas Culpeper (1650) claimed it was effective for removing liver obstructions. At the turn of the 20th century, Eclectic physicians used milk thistle to treat jaundice, and hepatic pain and swelling.
