Milk Thistle /holy thistle (Silybum marianum)
Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) medicinal herb is an annual as well as biennial plant. It is from the Asteraceae family and it is native to the Mediterranean region and has been adopted in Central Europe, North and South America. The medicinal properties are antioxidant, antidepressant, detoxicant, stimulant, tonic, stomachic, sedative, demulcent, antiviral and anti-inflammatory. It is believed to help with liver, kidney, and gallbladder issues by reducing inflammation. It has also been linked to improving breast milk flow in new mothers. It was said to be used during the bubonic plague, which is a bacterial infection that affected the lymph nodes. Milk Thistle is perhaps most famous for its restorative effects on the liver, even after alcohol and/or drug abuse. It is the flavonoid “silymarin” that is thought to be responsible for its beneficial effect on this important organ. Silymarin is a group of compounds – silibinin, silidianin, and silicristin – which work together to provide many health benefits, especially protection of the liver. Silymarin is a powerfully antioxidant flavonoid complex. It helps to boost glutathione and superoxide dismutase (SOD) – two of the body’s master antioxidants.Silymarin concentrates in kidney cells where it helps to repair and regenerate protein enzymes and DNA, with one study indicating it increased kidney cell replication by 25% - 30%. Milk Thistle is well documented for increasing bile production from the liver. Milk Thistle directly scavenges free radicals, chelates free iron and copper and prevents free radical formation by improving the integrity of mitochondria (power generators of the cells).
