FAMILY : Compositae (Composite)
GENUS : Silybum
SPECIES : marianum

COMMON NAMES
Marian Thistle, St. Mary's Thistle, Our Lady's Thistle
IDENTIFICATION
An annual or biennial herb growing up to 6 feet tall, milk thistle has coarse, lobed, prickly-edged leaves streaked with conspicuous white veins. Crimson to reddish-violet flowers (May-June) are borne in solitary heads, 2 inches across, surrounded by prominent, spiny bracts. [ "Magic and Medicine of Plants" ]
USES
The seeds, fruit, and leaves of milk thistle (Silybum marianum), a plant native to Europe, have been used since the Roman times as a liver tonic. Also known as Marian, St. Mary's, and Our Lady's thistle, milk thistle extracts which contain 70 to 80 percent silymarin is now widely used for liver disorders. In numerous clinical studies, silymarin has been shown to have therapeutic effects in treating several types of liver ailments such as cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis, and fatty infiltration of the liver.

Biopsies and laboratory studies have demonstrated that silymarin protects the liver from the damaging effects of alcohol and toxic chemicals and stimulates the production of new liver cells to replace damaged ones. Silymarin may also help prevent or treat gallstones by increasing the solubility of the bile, and provides an antidote to the death cap mushroom (Amanita phalloides), which kills its victims by destroying liver cells. The standard dosage of milk thistle extract based on 70 - 80 percent silymarin content is from 70-210 milligrams three times daily. Milk thistle extracts have shown very low toxicity, even when taken over a long time.
