Milk thistle plants

This bitter herb may be one of the best remedies for liver complaints. Milk thistle combines well with dandelion or other bitters thus combining hepatotropic (liver) and choleretic (gallbladder) herbal actions to support better digestion. Peppermint improves the bitter flavor and the effect of milk thistle.

Ingredients:
Greater Celandine * Milk Thistle Seed * Peppermint Leaf *
Recipe Instructions: Herbal Tea :

Infuse one teaspoon of crushed seeds in boiling water and let stand for 10-15 minutes. Take small sips and drink while hot. 3 times daily. A few peppermint leaves improve the flavor.

You may find the tincture form more convenient and palatable. Add 20 drops of milk thistle tincture to a hot cup of peppermint tea and take 3 times daily. Continue treatment for some weeks.
