Background and Use
Milk Thistle was imported from its native Europe to the United States by early European settlers. This herb has been used medicinally for over 2,000 years. Traditional use in this country is documented by the Eclectic physicians in the 19th Century. They used Milk Thistle for traditional remedies for the liver and for menstrual support primarily. Modern scientific interest began in the 1970's and still continues today.
With Milk Thistle becoming increasingly popular, it is evident that consumers are recognizing the importance of liver health. A lot of the modern day research has been done in Germany where Milk Thistle is an approved herb in The German Commission E Monographs.
