New Years Resolutions: Milk Thistle

Magazines are full of the beneficial properties of Milk Thistle this time of year. I over-indulged in the demon drink over the festive period, much like most of us, and my liver is not thanking me for it. By the end of Christmas I felt like, not to mention resembled, a wine-bag and I was actually glad to get back to work!

So what can Milk Thistle do for us? Well, it's used as a liver function stimulant so it can help your liver throw off the effects of a hangover quicker. You can also take it before a big night out in preparation of the hangover from hell as well. That's not all you can use it for - it can also be used to aid detox, and people will gallstones use it also.

You can buy Milk Thistle in all health food shops and it should cost you about a tenner.
