Milk thistle has been used for over 2,000 years to treat liver ailments; its virtues are mentioned in the Bible, in the writings of Pliny the Elder and in medieval literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLegend has it that the white veins on its leaves are the stains left by the Virgin Mary's milk when she fell on milk thistle plants and rescued Jesus from Herod's persecution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMilk thistle has always been a very popular plant in vegetable gardens, both as a medicinal plant and as a vegetable. Used in cooking since the early 19th century, the leaves were eaten in salads, the stems like asparagus and the roots like salsify. The flowers are eaten like artichokes, and the roasted seeds can even be made into a hot beverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMilk thistle became naturalized in Quebec and America in the late 19th century, with the arrival of settlers. Milk thistle is a plant whose action is focused on protecting the liver. It protects the liver against intoxicants and poisons, and is particularly effective in cases of poisoning caused by inedible fungi. It is also used to rebuild the livers of alcoholics and drug addicts, or when long-term medication has been taken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere has been a great deal of medical research into this plant over the last 20 years, from animal tests to clinical studies. Preliminary results suggest a protective action of silymarin on kidney cells and a reduction in cancer cell proliferation in prostate cancer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications :\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndependently certified organic (Ecocert Canada).
