That is such a beautiful flower, I have just looked up some information about this marvelous plant on Google and says that It is an edable plant with lots of benefits which may restore and protect the liver, the body’s largest internal organ, from damage by chemicals, alcohol, and other toxins. Nicholas Culpeper, a seventeenth-century apothecary, thought milk thistle was good for removing obstructions of the liver and spleen, and recommended an infusion of the fresh root and seeds to treat jaundice. The Eclectics, a school of medical herbalists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, used milk thistle to treat varicose veins and various pelvic congestions, including those linked to menstruation and to the liver, spleen, and kidneys. Well, thanks so much for sharing this beautiful flower information with us. Good Work.
