Milk thistle is commonly found growing wild in a variety of settings, including roadsides.
The dried fruit (also called achenes) are used to produce modern herbal extracts.
Medical use of milk thistle can be traced back more than 2,000 years.
Nicholas Culpeper, the well-known 17th-century pharmacist, cited its use for opening “obstructions” of the liver and spleen and recommended it for the treatment of jaundice.
