Blessed Thistle
340mg
What is it? Although native to Europe and Asia, blessed thistle is now cultivated in many areas of the world, including the United States. The leaves, stems, and flowers are all used in herbal preparations.
What does it do? As a tonic, stimulant, diaphoretic, emetic and emmenagogue. In large doses, Blessed Thistle acts as a strong emetic, producing vomiting with little pain and inconvenience. Cold infusions in smaller draughts are valuable in weak and debilitated conditions of the stomach, and as a tonic, creating appetite and preventing sickness. The warm infusion - 1 OZ. of the dried herb to a pint of boiling water - in doses of a wineglassful, forms in intermittent fevers one of the most useful diaphoretics to which employment can be given. The plant was at one time supposed to possess very great virtues against fevers of all kinds.
It is said to have great power in the purification and circulation of the blood, and on this account strengthens the brain and the memory.
The leaves, dried and powdered, are good for worms.
Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, take 2 or 3 capsules two times a day with meals or a glass of water. Store in a cool, dry place.
