Milk thistle meal properties
Anyone knows how the liver is useful for the body, and protects this hematopoietic and cleansing organ, because without the liver, the human body dies. Before starting the fight against ailments, you should know what damages the liver, and try to avoid:
- the use of fatty and spicy foods, alcohol, as well as adhere to extreme diets;

Some symptoms indicate temporary problems and a vital organ can be healed with a diet, clean water and tablets that promote proper digestion. But others are about a serious viral illness that can lead to fatal results. A doctor can determine this, but in order to stop or prevent the destruction of the liver, doctors advise drinking decoctions from plants. For example, milk thistle is used for the prevention and treatment of the liver.
Meal is a finely ground product. It is prepared from milk thistle by grinding this plant. The meal is made so that the plant can give the most useful substances.

Elvira Sergeevna, 52 years old
After a long course of treatment with various medications, including antibiotics, I cured one disease and got another. Constant pain in the right hypochondrium and headache made me turn to doctors again. To calm the liver, I began to follow a strict diet and brew milk thistle meal. Quite quickly, I felt relief without the treatment of chemicals prescribed by the doctor. 2 months have passed, and I still drink a glass of milk thistle infusion at lunch.
Vasily, 35 years old
In our family, everyone takes care of their health and leads an appropriate lifestyle. That I had problems with the liver, I learned after the medical examination, and remembered how at times I was plagued by heartburn and a bitter taste in my mouth. To restore the organ, I was recommended milk thistle meal (drink like tea once a day). At first I drank it, but then I liked to pour it into salads and soups. The taste is specific, but the intestines began to work like a clock, I even dropped a couple of kilos, and the unpleasant symptoms of poor gallbladder function disappeared.
Olga, 27 years old
They found a stone in my gallbladder and suggested trying to reduce its size by means of cholagogues, among them the Milk thistle meal was recommended. I brewed a bag of herb like tea, and there was always a nasty taste in my mouth. I began to sprinkle them on vegetable dishes, chew, and in this way I lasted 3 weeks. During this time, ultrasound did not reveal any changes in the gallbladder. True, there were no severe pains in the right side during this period either.
