Milk Thistle

how effective is milk thistle in treating liver problems?
I've heard milk thistle is very effective for treating liver problems and have been trying to research this theory on the net. I was just wondering if anyone had come across any clinical trials which suggest this herb really is effective in treating liver problems?
Thanks
Hi
Here is a peek into a book on herbs that provides a good list of studies that have been done on milk thistle. Other herbs such as dandelion, schisandra and artichoke leaves are also known for their ability to treat liver conditions and their research history can also be found here.
Hope this helps some!
