HOW IT WORKS:
Milk thistle seed has been used for centuries in folk medicine and is well known as a restorative and protectant of the liver. This herb is recognized for its ability to benefi t those with liver disorders and to protect against liver-damaging agents. A fl avonoid compound in milk thistle seeds, silymarin, prevents toxins from penetrating the interior of liver cells, while promoting the growth of healthy new cells to repair liver damage. Dandelion root is a valuable liver and kidney alterative medicine, stimulating these organs to function normally. Specifi c uses for this herb include infl ammation and congestion of the liver. Licorice root is added to this formula for its soothing activity in the digestive tract. Wild yam root is an effective antispasmotic and is well documented for medicinal use for gallstones and biliary spasm.
