Milk thistle is a flowering herb that belongs to the same family as daisies and ragweed. It has red to purple flowers and shiny pale green leaves with white veins. The scientific name of milk thistle is **Silybum marianum** or **Carduus marianum**. It is native to the Mediterranean region, but it has spread to other parts of the world. It can grow in sandy clay and limestone soils that are rich in ammonium salts.
Milk thistle has a long history of use as a natural remedy for various ailments, especially liver problems. The seeds of milk thistle contain a compound called **silymarin**, which has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties. Silymarin can help protect the liver from damage caused by toxins, infections, alcohol and other factors. Milk thistle can also help lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes and improve digestion.
To make a simple tea from milk thistle seeds, you need to crush about one teaspoon of seeds and add them to a cup of boiling water. Let it steep for 10 to 15 minutes, then strain and drink. You can also add honey or lemon juice for taste. You can drink this tea up to three times a day, but consult your doctor before using it if you have any medical conditions or take any medications.
