It gets its name from the milky-white liquid that runs off of the plant’s leaves when they’re crushed. It is also known as St. Mary’s thistle, holy thistle and silybum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMilk Thistle is best known as \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ean aid to liver detox\u003c\/strong\u003e. The plant contains the flavanoid silymarin, which acts as an anti-oxidant that functions to inhibit the liver-damaging effects of free radicals that are produced from the metabolism of toxic substances such as ethanol, acetaminophen, and carbon tetrachloride... it has also been shown to have anti-fibrotic properties and also to inhibit toxins from binding to cell membrane receptors in the liver.... a mighty potent herb indeed!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMore generally speaking, the liver helps remove toxicity and harmful substances from our blood, aids in hormone production, detoxifies the body, releases sugar into the bloodstream (in order to give our body steady energy), and secretes bile into our small intestine so fat can be absorbed from foods. You can see why liver problems and poor liver function can create so many seemingly unrelated problems, such as fatigue, poor digestion, hyper\/hypo-glycemia, jaundice, and other conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat is it good for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eassisting liver detox \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epromotes bile production\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003econtains anti-oxidants \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat else you might like to know:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is important to understand that herbs work by restoring balance to the body.
