Milk Thistle Extract 100ml

Milk Thistle is traditionally used in herbal medicine as a protectant and restorative for the liver. It helps support liver function, relieve digestive disturbances and soothe dyspepsia.
 
Finlandia's Milk Thistle Extract is certified organic and prepared from the seed of Silybum marianum, which is grown without chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides. The seeds are harvested at their optimal potency and prepared as a fluid extract which is 3 -5 times more potent than regular tinctures. The supportive, protective action of Milk Thistle on the liver helps the body metabolize and excrete toxins, drugs and alcohol. Because of the liver’s prime importance in virtually all metabolic functions in the body, as well as its role in supporting all of the other organs, the effects of Milk Thistle can include improved digestive function, better nutritional absorption, increased energy and an overall sense of wellbeing.
Contemporary western herbalists discuss herbs in terms of their actions on certain organs, their ability to remove certain pathogens, as well as their holistic effects on the body. Generations ago, herbs were discussed in very different terms. During Medieval times, medical theory focused on the effects of remedies rather than their specific mechanisms. An energetic system sustained both conventional and natural medicine, whose foundations were laid in Ancient Greece. Over time, this became associated with astrology, largely through the famous herbalist, Nicholas Culpepper (1616-1654). According to Culpepper, each plant is ruled by a planet, which means that it shares certain qualities and affinities in the body with that star. Milk Thistle is ruled by Jupiter, also known as Jove to the Greeks, along with other plants that act on the liver. These jovial herbs were associated with uplifting the mood.
