Milk Thistle
2 oz.
Milk thistle tea has been praised for its potential health benefits, primarily attributed to the active compound silymarin. Here are some herbal benefits:
Liver Support: Silymarin is known for its hepatoprotective properties, helping to support and protect the liver from damage caused by toxins, pollutants, and certain medications.
Detoxification: Milk thistle may aid in detoxifying the liver by promoting the removal of harmful substances and supporting the liver's natural detox processes.
Anti-inflammatory: The anti-inflammatory properties of milk thistle may contribute to reducing inflammation in the body, which is beneficial for overall health.
Antioxidant Effects: Silymarin acts as an antioxidant, scavenging free radicals that can cause oxidative stress and damage cells. This may help in preventing various chronic diseases.
Digestive Health: Some people find relief from digestive issues, such as indigestion and bloating, through the consumption of milk thistle tea.
Directions: add one teaspoon of milk thistle to hot water. Steep for 20 minutes to achieve peak bitterness. (The liver likes anything bitter because it helps it to flush!) Strain and enjoy.
FYI: Please consult your healthcare provider prior to use if you are pregnant or nursing, taking any medication, or have a medical condition.
