Milk Thistle Seeds

Milk thistle seeds has many benefits to the liver! Your liver is what does a great deal of the detoxing in your body and when your liver isn’t in top notch condition, this can affect the whole body.

Any detox plan you undertake should always have your liver in mind. Milk thistle is also great for your digestive system, so you can help your liver remove toxins from within your body, and then allow your digestive system to kick them out of your body. The active compound in milk thistle is called silymarin, a natural liver protector and supporter. Who doesn’t need some of that in their life?! The seeds of this plant have been used for at least 2,000 years to help protect health cells in the body, encourage the production of new cells, and stop inflammation in the body, especially of the liver.

Milk thistle extract is so powerful; it can actually help those with liver diseases.

Plantain, not the banana, but Plantago major. Plantain is a versatile medicinal plant known for its wound healing, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and digestive-supporting properties. I use plantain for rashes when seasonal allergies show themselves. I usually get a rash on my hands, arms, and lower legs in the spring, just when I have a lot of garden work to do. So, I harvest a handful of plantain leaves, dry them a couple of days to reduce the water content, and cover them in coconut or olive oil in a glass jar for several weeks. I know the rash is coming, so I have this started long before I really need it. I use the finished plantain oil infusion as is, but beeswax can be added to make a salve as in the photo. I have finished plantain herbal salve in my shop if you need some too. I also have dried plantain leaves from my garden for infusions and tea making as well. Shop HERE
