INFORMATION:
Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) is a flowering plant named for the distinctive milky white veins on its large prickly leaves. It is also known as Saint Mary's Thistle, Holy Thistle, and Scotch Thistle. Native to the Mediterranean and Southern Europe, the seeds have been cultivated for hundreds of years, with a significant history of use in traditional medicine.
Studies are being conducted on the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-viral properties of milk thistle seeds in relation to managing basic liver function for those with alcohol-related liver disease, liver cancer, and liver injuries related to drugs or toxins. The seeds are rich in silymarin, which may have wellness properties that protect the liver. The antioxidant properties of milk thistle seeds are purported to decrease inflammatory responses in the body while also preventing the formation of free radicals that can cause cell damage and increase the likelihood of certain diseases.
Often marketed as a cleansing and detox tea, milk thistle tea has gained modern popularity in the wellness and alternative medicine communities. Naturally caffeine-free, this herbal tea has a mild flavor that is slightly sweet with earthy undertones and floral notes. The tea is often sweetened with honey or milk or enhance the creamy texture. We also recommend pairing the milk thistle seeds with other herbals like ginger, licorice, or peppermint. The flavor fusions are limitless, and the wellness benefit combinations are endlessly customizable.
