Milk Thistle?

[Kimenem]

I was reading up on this but wanted some actual experiences as well. I'm thinking of adding this to my supplement list because I'm currently taking 2 medications, one for hormones and one for insulin resistance and am afraid I may have to begin antibiotics again for Lyme. Anyway, That's A LOT of stuff and wanted to help the liver out a bit. Anyone use this? I'm mainly worried about any interactions with food or other supplements/meds. Thanks

Nevermind....just read it can reduce the effectiveness of BCP. That counts me out! I have GOT to get a tubal!

If you can stomach the taste, try dandelion and licorice root tea, both are good for the liver. Dandelion tea is a natural diruretic, so be careful to consume enough water. Alvita makes ready made tea bags of both that can be bought cheap online. Yogi tea makes a detox tea that contains dandelion and licorice. I've bought it at Target. But check the ingredient list to make sure it's safe to take with your meds. In general, teas are better to take with meds than supplements or tinctures because the ingredients aren't as strong.
Be sure to check with your doctor about this.

And Licorice root raises blood pressure.
