In the Know

Blessed thistle, Mary thistle, Marian thistle, holy thistle … sounds biblical, doesn’t it? Logic would have us believe this is an ancient, spiritually relevant plant. For sure, milk thistle was first documented thousands of years ago, but where it actually got its biblical nickname, well, that we can’t say for sure.

What we do know for sure is that milk thistle is an annual or biannual plant with purple flowering heads, quite recognizable for its unique appearance, but not so well known as the basis for a healing, single herb tea. Not yet, anyway!

The first century Roman naturalist, Pliny the Elder, is known to have discovered milk thistle as useful when dealing with liver issues. Additionally, the Greek physician, Dioscorides, is said to have incorporated milk thistle into his kidney and liver disease healing regimes; he cites its use in his encyclopedia of medicinal plants that he created while traveling with the army. (A remarkable collection of information that was the authority on plant medicine for 1500 years!)
