Natural detoxification of the body with milk thistle
A healthy liver means a healthy body! The liver is the largest internal organ with more than 200 functions. It cleans the blood, stores fat, metabolizes alcohol, destroys and neutralizes toxins, produces new proteins, removes waste material or toxins, supports bile production, stores sugar, minerals and vitamins, regulates and excretes cholesterol, supports hormonal balance, quickly provides an additional source of energy when we need it, captures and clears bacteria from the body, and helps with immune cells production. The liver is the only organ that can be regenerated. If the liver is overloaded, this affects physical well-being and health.
Milk thistle, a plant that grows on dry uncultivated soils or sunny rocky places, is widely spread in many parts of Europe and Asia. Its shiny, indented leaves are fringed with spines and have milky white veins, which according to the legend, are results of St. Mary’s breast milk falling onto the plant. Hence the Latin name of this plant is marianum. At the top of the plant purple flowers bloom in summer, from which tufted seeds develop.
Nature’s Finest Milk thistle powder Bio is an organically grown, effective and natural liver cleanser. It helps cleanse the liver, restores damaged liver tissue cells, stimulates the natural detoxification process, has an antioxidant effect and promotes better digestion, thus skin cleansing.
Milk thistle is natural support for a healthy liver. Its detoxifying effects are known for centuries, and is essential in the fight against the fat accumulated around the liver. In addition to protecting the liver, it is known for its detoxifying or cleansing effect on the body, supports digestion and is an effective anti-constipation agent.
How do I know if my liver needs to be detoxified?
The liver is one of the most important organs in the body because, among many other functions, it removes toxins from the body. Therefore, detoxification of the body several times a year is essential for the well-being. A overloaded liver is a fatty liver that causes slower metabolism of carbohydrates and prevents the storage of excess glucose, which means that the body does not get a new wave of energy when it needs it.
Fatty liver is manifested as constant fatigue and exhaustion, poor fat and carbohydrate metabolisms, as well as accumulation of fat around the waist and abdomen, heartburn, excessive sweating and hot feeling, poor and slow digestion accompanied by bloating or occasional bloating, decreased immunity or body’s resistance, skin problems such as acne, pigmented spots and so on.
Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is probably the most extensively studied plant for the treatment of liver diseases. It was used for medicinal purposes in ancient Greece and Rome. It has been used for rib pain, spleen diseases, malaria, migraines, seasickness, varicose veins, digestive disorders, bile disorders, jaundice, fatty liver, toxic liver disease, chronic inflammation and cirrhosis of the liver, and as an antidote for fly poisoning.
Milk thistle and its active ingredient silymarin are beneficial for liver health
Milk thistle is a plant that is famous for its detoxifying effects and is essential in the fight against fat around the liver. Researches have proven that its active ingredient silymarin promotes faster regeneration of cells isolated from kidney tissue, which were damage due to the use of analgesics, cytostatic or other drugs and toxic substances. Milk thistle is therefore one of the most effective medicinal plants that protects the liver from toxins, even in case of poisoning by mushrooms or chemicals!
As it supports detoxification, it is even recommended as a supplement in the fight against cancer. In cancer patients, this herb limits the possible damages of the liver due to chemotherapy, and accelerates recovery by promoting the excretion of toxins accumulated in the body.
Researches and clinical studies have shown that Milk thistle dietary supplement or silymarin helps recover the liver damage resulting from cancer treatment. Experts are studying the effect of silymarin on the effects of chemotherapy and related liver cell damage.
From seeds and tincture to organic powder
This herb can be used in so many ways, whether it is fresh or dried leaves, or seeds of the milk thistle. The leaves are harvested in late summer, dried, cut into small pieces or crushed into powder and used for tea. The seeds are harvested in the fall, dried and used for powder, dry extracts and tinctures. Preparations from ripe fruits, especially highly concentrated dry extracts, are the most suitable for medicinal use.
Milk thistle’s seeds contain 4-6 percent silymarin and a mixture of different liver-protecting compounds. The seeds strengthen the cell wall and prevent toxins from entering the cell, while promoting the regeneration of the same. Flavonoids, antioxidants that protect blood vessels, and b-sitosterol, a substance that emulsifies fats and breaks down cholesterol, are also present in the Milk thistle’s leaves.
Today, the use of preparations based on Milk thistle is recommended for the treatment of toxic liver damage and as an adjunct in chronic liver inflammation and cirrhosis. Numerous studies have confirmed that Milk thistle’s silymarin has antioxidant properties that protect the liver and other parts of the body from harmful free radicals. Therefore, Milk thistle is recommended as a complementary herbal remedy in the treatment of chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis.

Milk thistle also lowers blood cholesterol
Silymarin has a beneficial effect on the amount of individual liver enzymes and on the metabolic activity of the liver itself. Silymarin activates and promotes the production of enzymes that break down harmful substances, can speeds up the biosynthesis of nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) and proteins, thus supporting the regeneration of liver tissue cells, which helps in damaged liver.
Milk thistle helps in treating and preventing the formation of gallstones. It works by improving the flow of bile, a cholesterol-saturated digestive juice that travels from the liver through the gallbladder to the gut, where it participates in the digestion of fats. Consumption of Milk thistle lowers blood cholesterol levels, as silymarin has the effect of increasing the concentration of HDL cholesterol in the blood, while reducing the level of LDL and total cholesterol in the blood.
Milk thistle based preparations should not be used only if we have problems caused by biliary obstruction, such as gallstones. It is not recommended during pregnancy or breast-feeding. An overdose with milk thistle preparation may have a mild laxative effect. It is also used to relieve minor indigestion problems and to promote menstruation. It also helps with psoriasis, as the herb alleviates inflammation and limits the overgrowth of skin cells in psoriasis. It also relieves haemorrhoids and can benefit the endometrium, which is the most common cause of female infertility.
