Blessed Thistle has an ability to cure numerous ailments. It is also known as ‘Holy Thistle’ or ‘St. Benedict’s Thistle’. This thistle-like plant is from the family of Asteraceae, which is native to Mediterranean region. However, it is quite famous in other parts of the world too, including France, Iran, and North America.
 
In case you are thinking why it has the title of ‘Blessed’, it is because, in the first century, the army of king of the Franks was dying of the plague, while they were on their way to control Europe. This plant saved their lives from the plague and allowed them to continue war. From that moment, it became known as blessed & earned the attention of researchers.

Herbalists indeed call it a gift from God, particularly for women, as it facilitates in resolving many female related problems. It increases milk supply and also treats hormone imbalance. Furthermore, it also contains astringent compounds that shrink inflamed tissues and dilate peripheral blood vessels.

 
According to herbalist Steven Horne, it is a warrior plant. One can use it as an incredible survival food because of its exceptional medicinal properties. For example, the best thing about Blessed Thistle is it specifically works on your bloodstream and protects it against toxins. That’s why, when it comes to detoxifying liver, herbalists prefer it over other herbs.
 
Blessed Thistle is available in many forms, such as capsules and tinctures. You can use it in teas as well. Just add 1 tablespoon dried herb in 1 cup of hot boiling water. Though, bear in mind that it is better to have it before eating a fatty meal, rather than after it. In addition, don’t use it if you are pregnant or allergic to artichokes.
 
If you are planning to cure some chronic illness, it is better to consult a qualified health practitioner before using Blessed Thistle as a remedy.
