Milk Thistle

Milk thistle is a flowering plant native to the Mediterranean region, known for its purple flowers and prominent spiny leaves. Its seeds contain a compound called silymarin, which is believed to protect the liver and promote its healing. Many people use milk thistle as a herbal supplement to support liver health, especially in cases of liver damage from toxins or alcohol. While some studies suggest potential benefits, more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness. It's commonly available in capsules, powders, or tea, but it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplement.
