About Milk Thistle Tincture: Milk Thistle, an herb that thrives in the Mediterranean region of the globe, belongs in the category of essential herbs for the modern world. The liver does so much to process what we encounter on a daily basis from various environmental toxins, pesticides, xenoestrogens, alcohol, and drugs, to our own biological wastes like those caused by excess stress. Milk Thistle supports vibrant liver function and rejuvenation, helping to keep the liver cool and relaxed.

Healthy liver function means that many aspects of general wellness and vitality are also supported, including healthy hormone balance, skin health, digestive health, mood, and immune system health. A most gentle herb, Milk Thistle promotes healthy liver cells, and boasts high levels of silymarin, a compound that helps boost glutathione, which supports a healthy oxidative response in the body. Milk Thistle helps to both protect and encourage healthy liver function.

Garden Notes: Our founder, gardener Deb Soule, was inspired to plant more Milk Thistle in our Biodynamic® gardens after seeing it growing in the fields in Sicily. Students often comment on the uniqueness of its large fleshy, green and white mottled leaves with lovely, purple thistle-like flowers.

Violet F. ★★★★★

I've been adding this tincture to my evening tea for three weeks now, and the dried seed extract has a pleasantly earthy taste that isn't overpowering.

Eva C. ★★★★★

The dropper makes it easy to get the dose right, and I like that it's made from dried seed rather than a blend of fillers. Two months in and my digestion just feels steadier overall.
