In recent years, there have been many studies regarding the effects of milk thistle on many different health problems. According to these studies, this remedy is effective, and most commonly used to treat acne and liver conditions. It can also protect theliver from the ill effects of liver toxic medications.

Treatment of Liver Diseases


According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, milk thistle is commonly used to treat liver cirrhosis and alcoholic hepatitis. Though some of the data revealed by the study is conflicting, there’s strong evidence that milk thistle has a positive impact on liver function. It improves the survival rate of people suffering from liver disease.

Similarly, the New York University also conducted a study regarding the effects of milk thistle. It was found that the herb works in two different ways to protect your liver. First, it displaces liver binding toxins. This allows faster healing of the liver. Second, it stabilizes the liver cell membranes. This is possible because of the herb’s anti oxidant properties.

Protects Against Liver Toxic and Cancer Medications

The NYU Langone Medical Center reports that a lot of medications can cause inflammation or damage to your liver. Since milk thistle possesses liver healing effects, it’s quite useful for people taking such prescribed medications. In addition to protecting your liver, milk thistle has another active substance.

This substance is called silymarin, and possesses anticancer properties. According to the University of Maryland, silymarin and some other compounds in milk thistle can inhibit the division of cancer cells. Thus, they can promote cancer cell death at an early stage.

Immune System Enhancement

Another study was conducted in 2002 by the Medical Science Monitor. The study analyzed the immune system enhancing effects of milk thistle. Researchers found a correlation between enhanced immune response and increased dosage of milk thistle. This study concluded that such effects of the herb may be very useful for improving your body’s immune response to many different kinds of infectious diseases.

In addition to this, the authors of this study also believe that milk thistle has the ability to inhibit cancer cell growth. This is also a major benefit associated with improved function and strength of the immune system. It’s one of the most important benefits of milk thistle.
