TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT MILK THISTLE (SILYMARIN)

Scientific Name: Silybum marianum

Common Name: Our Lady’s thistle, Marian thistle, St Mary’s thistle, Sow thistle and Wild artichoke



History of Use

Milk Thistle has been used in as early as 23 AD. Traditionally, it has been used “for infants that have their sinews drawn together, and for those that be bitten of serpents” in Rome. In Britain, it has also been used as treatment of disorders affecting the liver and spleen, the kidneys in provoking the flow of urine, to break and expel stones and also to treat dropsy. By the 19th century Milk thistle was recommended and used by German physicians for the treatment of liver and blood problems, as well as for intestinal cleansing (McCorrie, n.d.)

Currently, good scientific evidence for the following use has been established (Drugs and Supplements: Milk Thistle, 2013):

• Cirrhosis (liver scarring)
  
  • Studies have been performed in Europe in a span of over 5 years and the studies suggest benefits of oral milk thistle for cirrhosis and have come to the conclusion that milk thistle slightly improved liver function and decreased the number of deaths in people with liver disease.
  • Studies show that silymarin and it active constituent silibinin provide potent protection against liver damage from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), in at least one case, genuinely reversing some of the more ominous findings (Campbell, 2015).
  
  
• Diabetes (type 2)
  
  • Research showed that milk thistle improved control of blood sugar in people with diabetes with and without liver disease.
  • Some research shows that taking silymarin, a chemical found in milk thistle, along with conventional treatment can decrease blood sugar, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL or “bad”) cholesterol, and triglycerides in people with diabetes(Milk Thistle Uses & Effectiveness, n.d.).
  
  
• Diabetic nephropathy (kidney disease)
  
  • Research suggests that silymarin improves blood and urine markers associated with diabetic kidney disease.
  • In rat studies, silymarin treatment has been found to markedly restore kidney tissue damaged by diabetes and significantly improve impaired kidney function, largely by restoring diminished levels of natural enzyme systems (Campbell, 2015).
  
  
• Liver disease (chronic)
  
  • Several studies of milk thistle in liver disease caused by viruses or alcohol report improvements in liver tests.

The following uses for milk thistle have also been established as possibly effective (Milk Thistle Uses & Effectiveness, n.d.):

• Seasonal allergies (allergic rhinitis). Some research shows that people who take a milk thistle extract in combination with a conventional antihistamine have reduced symptoms compared to people who just use an antihistamine.
• Heartburn (dyspepsia). When used daily for 4 weeks, a specific combination product (Iberogast, Medical Futures, Inc) that contains milk thistle plus peppermint leaf, German chamomile, caraway, licorice, clown’s mustard plant, celandine, angelica, and lemon balm seems to reduce the severity of acid reflux, stomach pain, cramping, nausea, and vomiting.
• Menopausal symptoms. Research in women suggests that taking a specific product containing milk thistle, black cohosh, dong quai, red clover, American ginseng, and chasteberry (Phyto-Female) twice daily for 3 months reduces menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes and night sweats.
• Skin damage caused by radiation treatment. Research suggests that applying a specific product (Leviaderm) containing silymarin, a certain chemical found in milk thistle, to the skin reduces skin damage caused by radiation treatment in women with breast cancer.
