Today’s busy and changing lifestyles often result in the increased intake of alcohol and food. Milk Thistle is a well-known herb traditionally used to relieve the symptoms commonly associated with ‘the morning after’.

The ancient Milk Thistle plant is a member of the daisy family and has traditional use as a herbal remedy for digestive health. The cooked roots, leaves, shoots and stems were also once a popular part of people’s diets. Its botanical name, Silybum, comes originally from the Greek word ‘sillybon’, which probably refers to its tufty purple-red flowers.
