Milk thistle (milk thistle)

Milk thistle (milk thistle) has traditionally been used to treat liver and gallbladder disorders, stimulate breast milk production, prevent and treat cancer, and even protect the liver from snake bites, alcohol, and other environmental poisons. It is very important to note that it has a positive effect on the pancreas. It is regularly used as an adjunctive therapy by people who have liver damage due to conditions such as alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, hepatitis, and even liver cancer.

Milk thistle has been used as a traditional remedy for neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's for over two thousand years.

It has been suggested that the antioxidant effects of silymarin (the main compound in milk thistle) may have some anti-cancer effects, which may be beneficial for people receiving cancer treatment.

Some animal studies have shown that milk thistle may be helpful in reducing the side effects of cancer treatment.

It can also increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy against certain types of cancer and, in some cases, even destroy cancer cells.
