St Mary’s Milk Thistle is originally from the Mediterranean and south-Western Europe, although it is now found worldwide and actually considered a weed. St Mary's Milk Thistle has demonstrated antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity in a variety of studies. Many medicines are being used and trialled from extracts of the bio-available agents found in these seeds.

Brewing Instructions: Can be brewed like a loose leaf tea. Boil water (90°C to 100°C degrees) and add between 1 teaspoon and 1 tablespoon of herbal blend per cup of water. Pour boiled water over the tea and allow to steep for at least 5 minutes before straining and serving.  Honey or vegan sweeteners can be used to sweeten and enhance the flavour.
