Milk thistle or Silybum marianum, the seeds are mainly used for a positive effect on liver. This beautiful spiny plant has striking purple flowers and white veins on the leaves. That white mark was caused, according to traditional stories, by a drop of the Virgin Mary's milk during the flight to Egypt. Milk thistle is certainly also a beautiful plant in the garden, without the danger of spreading further in abundance.

Sustainable Packaging

Our herbs are packaged in resealable pouches that protect against light, air, and moisture, helping to preserve their aroma, quality, and properties as well as possible. The pouches are made of paper with a compostable protective layer and are industrially compostable. In many municipalities, they can be disposed of with organic waste. Home composting is also possible, although it may take a bit longer (about 1–2 years). More information about our packaging choice.
