Dried Milk Thistle Herb – Gentle Herbal Support for Liver, Skin & Hormonal Health

Milk thistle herb (Silybum marianum)—the leafy aerial parts of the milk thistle plant—offers gentle, nourishing support for the liver, digestion, and skin. While the seeds are traditionally known for their concentrated liver-protective compounds, the herb itself is also valued for its cleansing, mildly bitter, and cooling properties.

Our dried milk thistle herb is hand-harvested and naturally dried to preserve its vibrant green colour and gentle action. It can be used as a mild tea, added to detox blends, or combined with other bitters to support liver and hormonal balance.

Key Benefits:
– Gently supports liver function and detoxification

– Traditionally used to clear skin and ease inflammation
– Encourages healthy bile flow and digestion
– Mild, bitter herb suitable for long-term use
