Milk Thistle

Preliminary studies in animals show that milk thistle may help protect the liver from injury by a variety of toxins ("poisons" such as drugs, viruses, alcohol, radiation, and poisonous mushrooms) and limit the damage from them. To date, the most reliable milk thistle studies on people show that milk thistle does not cure liver disease, but that milk thistle may improve the way the liver works in patients with cirrhosis.
