Milk Thistle is one of the most widely prescribed herbal supplements on the market today. It is used for supporting the liver for such conditions as Chronic Hepatitis, Cirrhosis, and Liver Disease, as well as for detoxification and protection of the liver. Recent research also points to Milk Thistle's use in chronic skin disorders and prostatitis, as well as possible future uses as an adjunct herb with several different types of cancer.

Why liquid extracts in stead of pills? In years of developing their product, Skye Herbals noticed one simple fact; Liquid extracts absorb more quickly into the body and get a better clinical result. Because liquid extracts absorb quickly into the blood stream, they act fast and thus create less of a strain on the body's digestive system.

This extract comes in a 100% certified organic alcohol base. Why alcohol? Milk Thistle's active ingredients are alcohol soluble and need alcohol for the body to absorb them easily, even if only in trace amounts. Other forms of extracts simply do not work as well, whether extracted in glycerin or eaten raw. When the formula is added to hot water for consumption, most of the alcohol evaporates out leaving homeopathic amounts in the tea. These trace amounts of alcohol help bring the active ingredients into the body more quickly.

About Milk Thistle:
Milk Thistle protects and regenerates the liver in most liver diseases such as Hepatitis, Cirrhosis (hardening of the Liver), Jaundice, and Cholangitis (inflammation of bile ducts resulting in decreased bile flow). It not only protects each cell of the liver from incoming toxins, but simultaneously encourages the liver to cleanse itself of damaging substances, such as alcohol, drugs, medications, mercury and heavy metals, pesticides, anesthesia, and even the most poisonous of mushrooms, the Amanita or Death-cap mushroom.

This herb is wonderful and appropriate for anyone who is under stress, uses alcohol, recreational drugs, prescription medications, or lives in todays modern times of pesticides, environmental toxins, and pollution&virtually every American.

One of the special qualities of Milk Thistle is that it cleanses and detoxifies an overburdened and stagnant liver while also being able to strengthen and tonify a weak liver; thus, delivering potent medicine to clogged, excess conditions as well as to weakened, deficient conditions.

Milk Thistle is a gentle herb. Its mild laxative effect is due to its ability to increase bile secretion and flow in the intestinal tract. This herb can have actions ranging from lubrication and softening of the stools to a mild laxative effect, to actually balancing individuals that alternate between diarrhea and constipation.
