Milk thistle is best known for its ability to support a healthy liver. This is because milk thistle protects the liver from toxins and pollutants. Milk thistle does this by protecting the liver from free radical damage while promoting the growth of new liver cells. Milk thistle is also good for the kidneys, gallbladder, and the adrenals.
Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) has been used since Greco-Roman times as an herbal remedy for a variety of ailments, particularly liver problems. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries physicians in the United States used milk thistle seeds to relieve congestion of the liver, spleen, and kidneys. Today, several scientific studies suggest that active substances in milk thistle (particularly silymarin) protect the liver from damage caused by viruses, toxins, alcohol, and certain drugs such as acetaminophen (a common over the counter medication used for headaches and pain; acetaminophen, also called paracetamol, can cause liver damage if taken in large quantities or by people who drink alcohol regularly.)
