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 1970s and still continues today.

With Milk Thistle becoming increasing 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 it is an approved herb in The German Commission E Monographs.

Dandelion is a gentle and effective herb is valued in many cultures. Classified as a "bitter"; a group of herbs that have been used traditionally to improve appetite and support normal digestion. In the folk medicine of many countries, Dandelion root is regarded as a "liver tonic", a substance believed to support the liver in an unspecified way. Preliminary studies do suggest that Dandelion root stimulates the liver to increase bile flow. Once bile is released by the liver, its two main functions are to carry away waste and to break down fats during digestion. It remains to be proven what physiological function this has in the body.

Your Milk Thistle Dandelion really paid off. I have taken other lipid lowering agents and my levels have always remained high or borderline. After taking Oregon's Wild Harvest Milk Thistle Dandelion all my levels have become normal. My family is so happy for me. I prefer to work with "God's Pharmacy."
