Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is a medicinal herb used for millennia as a liver tonic in the Mediterranean region. Today, milk thistle is used to promote liver health and remove toxins from the body. Milk thistle helps the liver generate new liver cells when damaged by alcoholism, liver problems, drugs, pollutants, and other health problems.
