It is a plant that has been used for centuries to protect and strengthen the liver.

It is commonly used to treat conditions such as mastitis, breast abscesses, breast tenderness during PMS, irregular menstruation, as well as infertility caused by liver imbalances.

Doctors primarily prescribe milk thistle for liver problems like cirrhosis, viral and alcoholic hepatitis, and liver poisoning. It is also used as protection from medications that harm the liver.

It is also used as an anti-depressant by helping to move stagnant liver energy.

Caution should be taken when using the plant as it is known for its laxative effect and can cause diarrhea.

As with the use of any medicinal herb, it is recommended to consult a physician who is knowledgeable about herbs before using them.
