Milk thistle, a tall weed with prickly leaves and purple flowers, is, according to this story, known in scientific circles as silybum marianum. The plant was named for its milky sap, which led some ancient people to believe it could induce milk flow in nursing mothers. Milk thistle is a source of vitamin C, iron and flavonoids, but its most medically active component is silymarin, a compound found in the seeds.

Silymarin (Silybum marianum), also known as Milk Thistle, is an herb that is well-documented in early traditional herbal medicine. Studies abroad and in the U.S. have indicated that contituents in Silymarin may help to support healthy liver function.*
