Milk Thistle for Overindulgence

With the party season upon us, most of us will drink and eat too much and all of this overindulgence has to be processed by the liver – our body’s very own purifier. It is comforting then to know that Mother Nature has supplied us with milk thistle, a highly effective antioxidant, liver tonic herb. The seeds from this thorny flower have been used for over 2000 years to protect the liver from damage caused by chemicals, pharmaceutical drugs, infections, poor diet and alcohol. It’s even been used in hospitals to help protect the liver from accidental ingestion of the poisonous death cap mushrooms! So rest assured, milk thistle can give your liver a little helping hand to get through the festive season!
