Milk Thistle is a plant known as milk thistle (Silybum Marianum from the Asteraceae family), a medicinal thistle used in traditional preparations. It has a history of use in the Middle East and Europe for many years. Milk thistle is used to treat many liver diseases, including gallbladder disease, hepatitis, cirrhosis, and jaundice. Ground milk thistle is also used to protect the liver from poisoning by chemical and environmental toxins, including snake bites, insect bites, mushroom and alcohol poisoning. The main phytochemicals that can be considered valuable and particularly appreciated in milk thistle are silymarin, quercetin, apigenin, triterpenes, as well as compounds formed under the influence of alcohol maceration such as highly concentrated silymarin, silybin A and B, iso-silybin or silibinin.
