milk thistle tea

Where can i buy milk thistle and what should I get? Extract, tea, capsule and how much do I drink and when do I stop? Is milk thistle tea from alvita from whole foods the right one to drink?

Oops sorry *blessed thistle, not milk thistle.. Milk on the brain lol! There are also breastfeeding support tablets that are made with both of those ingredients, one brand is "herbs of gold" you should be able to get them from your local health food store.

Bill, I never did take milk thistle but personally can't see the harm, except that I'm conservative about taking too much of anything. Certainly my health food store promotes it and thinks it's a tragedy that I'm on interferon! It's very popular in Europe, especially in Germany. It can provide a false sense of security, though, because your liver can deteriorate, independently of the thistle.

Do NOT take milk thistle while on treatment as it can hurt the efficacy of the medications. In fact unless you know for a fact (that the supplement has been studied thoroughly for reactions to interferon and ribavirin) that it won't hurt anything it's definitely better safe than sorry.

Can I take milk thistle and entecavir on the same day? I know it has been discuss already, the post are quite old. Also can I still drink two cups or tea a day while taking entecavir?

My grandfather has been diagnosed with acute liver failure very recently and doctors have said there’s nothing more they can do. Would it be harmful to give him milk thistle at this point?

Blessed thistle, mothers milk tea, fenugreek are the more common nonprescription herbal ways to increase supply. Never heard of using red raspberry leaf tea for it.

After your milk comes in and the engorgement passes, your breasts wont feel hard anymore. I would suggest calling a lactation consultant to ask about fenugreek and blessed thistle. If you google motherlove more milk capsules, they have great reviews on increasing supply. When I was relactating, I used fenugreek, blessed thistle, and domperidone. Your ob can prescribe the domperidone.

I was told to eat Oatmeal, drink lots of water, fruits and veggies.

Dandelion root tea and Milk Thistle tea can help to detox the liver. You can find this at health food stores ...

The more you pump or feed baby the more you'll make. Also insure your calorie intake is good. There is a mothers milk tea you can buy to help and oatmeal helps.

and the mothers milk tea has given some babies real bad gas after the had eaten..so has anyone tried either one? What side affects if any to you or the baby? How much did you take or drink a day? How soon did you start? Who else is planning on trying one of these methods? Or any other organic method?

Increase your fluid intake..

I stopped taking it 5 days ago, and yesterday my Chiro told me that imported green tea can be very bad (from pesticided which are not regulated), he suggested I try Milk Thistle to clean my liver of all the toxins which is probably what is giving me the nausea. I started taking it last night and hopefully I will see some improvement. I did read (on my research about green tea) that it can irritate the stomach very bad if taken on an empty stomach, maybe tea in general does the same.....

Are you sure about the Milk Thistle restriction while on Incivek? St. Johns Wort is prohibited, but I've never heard that about Milk Thistle...

...just called today + he was referring to being Surface Antigen Negative, as the virus has been undetectable for the last 3 months. He stated that this is rare 1 to 3 % of all cases. I personally feel all of the "alternative" therapy has helped a lot (milk thistle, cranberry juice/detox tea to keep everything flushed out).

Does anyone know if milk thistle is good, bad, or of no effect? I read somewhere that it is helpful for liver problems so started taking it. I won't see my dr. for almost three months so can't ask him until then.

Why are you considering taking milk thistle? Do you have liver disease? Milk thistle hasn’t really shown much in the way of clinical evidence of being effective for treating liver injury.

This isn't really a detox tea. It's more of a liver protective tea, and that's where the detox takes place. This is most likely a very safe tea to use -- Yogi is a popular brand and a well-regarded one.

Milk thistle is used for the liver - - - there are no contraindications for the milk thistle and pain pills .......
