According to the University of Maryland, milk thistle has been used for more than 2,000 years to treat liver and gall bladder problems. It contains an ingredient called silymarin that removes toxins from the liver and helps heal the liver from drug damage caused by acetaminophen.
Also called Silybum marianum, milk thistle has an estrogen-like effect, according to HerbWisdom.com. Though this may be useful in some conditions, it needs to be properly monitored because it can cause havoc to the hormone system. Sixteen studies that used milk thistle for liver problems proved inconclusive, according to the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
Decker Weiss, ND, stated that milk thistle has an ability to protect and actually rejuvenate the liver. It is especially recommended for people who eat fatty foods, which taxes the liver. Milk thistle can help reduce the fat accumulation in the liver if used in proper doses, which he suggests to be 100 mg to 140 mg taken two or three times a day.
