Description
The sweet and bitter areial portions of blessed thistle, or holy thistle, affect the liver, spleen, and stomach. They are alterative, stomachic, astringent, antiseptic, bitter, hemostatic, and vulnerary, making the herb useful in treating conditions such as liver congestion, stomach problems, loss of appetite, dyspepsia, fevers, bleeding, hepatitis, and jaundice. The biocehemical constituents of this herb include tannin, criicine (a bitter principal), a sesquiterpenoid lactone, mucilage and trace of essential oil.
Blessed thistle is used primarily for the stomach and liver. It treats liver congestion, loss of appetite, dyspepsia and mucus conditions. It also lowers fevers, resolves blood clots, relieves jaundice and hepatitis and stops bleeding.
Because the liver is so often affected during abnormal periods, blessed thistle is commonly used in combination with other gynecological herbs. One combination that can be used is equal parts blessed thistle, blue cohosh root, false unicorn root, cramp bark, half part ginger.
A near relative, milk thistle (Silybum marianum), is used as a protective hepatotonic and will help to heal a damaged liver. Common artichoke leaves, another member of the thistle family, can be made into a tea to help restore the liver to normal function.
