Milk thistle is a commonly-rescribed herb used to treat a variety of liver problems. It helps to clean, decongest and protect the liver against toxin buildup, according to Lise N. Alschuler of Bastyr University. Milk thistle stimulates the flow of bile, decreases liver enzymes and extends the survival rateof liver cirrhosis sufferers. Alschuler mentions that milk thistle may be an effective treatment of liver disease in alcoholics. It is an excellent liver tonic after gallbladder removal. No standard dosage exists. Consult your health practitioner for dose and usage guidelines.
