Description:
The scientific name for Milk thistle is Silybum marianum. It is a member of the aster or daisy family. They are native to the Mediterranean regions of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Milk thistle has been used by traditional physicians and herbalists to treat a range of liver and gallbladder diseases and to protect the liver against a variety of poisons.
