HISTORY

Milk Thistle's name comes from its leaves which are sticky due to the milky sap they contain.
The Roman herbalist Pliny described milk thistle as "excellent for removing bile." The Ancient Greeks and Romans used milk thistle to treat snakebites and liver diseases. Although it has been used medicinally for over 2,000 years in many cultures, it is often treated as an invasive weed.

Roasted milk thistle seeds have been used in the past as a coffee substitute.
Today, milk thistle is cultivated mainly as a medicinal plant, but is sometimes used as a food source mainly in Europe but also in Asia and North America.
