Milk Thistle – Liver

Milk Thistle – Liver Common Names: Milk Thistle

Parts Used: Seed

Milk Thistle Pure Herbs Liquid Extract is for the liver. This well defended, handsome, thistle member of the Aster family is easily recognized by the characteristic mottled white areas in its leaves where there is no pigment. The main healing force of this herb lies in its seed. Milk Thistle seed has proven itself effective for fatty degeneration as well as poisoning and congestion of the liver through many forms of abuse. Where protection, detoxification and or regeneration of the liver, with a flushing effect on the gall bladder, is needed, the seeds of the Milk Thistle plant are a ready, willing and able herbal remedy.

Recommended Dosage: For maintenance and protection, 40 drops per day. For correction of conditions listed above, 40 to 80 drops 3 times per day. An equal amount can be rubbed into the liver, as well, each time it is taken by mouth. Apply the Pure Herbs Liquid Extract over the area of the liver, under the ribs in front, from one side of the body to the other. For more serious cases, also apply directly to the entire liver area: Vitamin E from 100 i.u. capsules, and Herbal Adj. (SEE: Herbal Adj.). Then prepare an application of absorbent gauze or cheese cloth saturated with Olive Oil. Next prepare a second cloth in the same manner, saturated with Milk Thistle Pure Herbs Liquid Extract and place these two layers, first the Olive Oil layer and next the Milk Thistle, over the liver area. Cover with plastic sandwich wrap and leave in place overnight, each night until well. Do follow a bowel management program which will produce two, and preferably three, bowel movements per day. (SEE: Cascara Sagrada, Buckthorn, C.C.E.-W) A person must be able to void the disgusting wastes cleaned out of the liver, as the herb does its job, to prevent nausea.
