Milk Thistle for Skin Health

In my recent article about milk thistle, I discussed how this herb is used internally and on the skin.

Milk thistle can be used topically (on the skin), and it may protect again sun damage, as well as skin cancer, notes the Mount Sanai website. In fact, it notes milk thistle may stop cancer cells from reproducing, shorten lifespan of cancer cells, and reduce the blood supply to tumors.

Milk Thistle is A Powerhouse

Add skin protection to the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, liver protective properties mentioned in my previous article, my opinion is that it’s part of the first line of defense for skin health.

I recently did a case study of a lovely golden retriever with visible skin ‘bump’ of unknown origin. In this study, topical milk thistle was applied daily. On that note, if you happen to have a golden retriever, you may enjoy my other website, GoldenRetrieverDiet.com

To show you the method I used for the case study and for topical use, please scroll down to watch the short video I made. This particular item was the DaVinci Labs milk thistle capsules, which I broke open for the video as well as the case study. You can order that item in my Supplements section.

I am quite sure my results are not unique to the DaVinci supplement – it is just what I had in the house. I will add more milk thistle items to my supplement store as I find ones that I believe are high quality.
