Wonderful presentation. Thank you. A dear friend cured his early stage alcoholic cirrhosis with milk thistle. His doctor was amazed that his liver enzymes returned to normal.
Another example of the miracle of milk thistle! Thank you for sharing 💚
It's so bad that doctors aren't trained to cure.
Wow... I just tripped across your channel , as in truth UA-cam is full of misinformation and BS. I'm watching you from my hospital bed as sadly I have cancer , but being the optimistic person I am , I hope .
As a young buck roaming the fields looking at the cattle , I used to pretend that I was in a war and all the thistles were the enemy , and I'd lobb the heads of the thistle . Strangely enough , now as an older buck , I don't see many thistles , the horrors of climate change . But now after watching your nicely presented narrative it's great . I shall indeed now look for thistles and shall use your process . Thank you for making these videos . Joe .. and that is Bob my buddy cat in me photo . 😊
I grew up shoveling milk thistle out of the ground. We called it Bull Thistle and it is an invasive species that will take over a pasture. We were cattle ranchers. Wish I knew its health benefits back then. Thanks for the information.
Here in Wales Bull Thistle is a different type of thistle. Latin name Cirsium vulgare Bull. But I’m very aware that common names change from country to country. Bull Thistle is medicinal but different to Milk Thistle. We have loads of different thistles here and I’m sure you do where you live. The best way to ID Milk Thistle is the thick bright white veins on the leaves. Have fun exploring the thistles where you live ❤️🌱❤️
You could get fined in Oklahoma for a certain kind if you didn't dig it up. It had thorns on the bottom of the leaf.
If you bailed it up and fed it to your cattle, it could kill them. So I grew up thinking there were two different kinds. Now, i'm looking into that before I harvest. Are there two different kinds? Or is it just geographical Mutation
@@richardmartin2646 I don’t know about the varieties just we dug it up and burned the thistle bulbs to get rid of them or birds eat them and spread the seeds
As you said, its crucial to cut the seed head from the plant at the right timing - when the seeds pull out easily and before they start dropping all over the place :) Here is my method of processing which seems faster than yours. You still have to be careful, but I tried other ways and this is the method by wich I get stung the least. After cutting the heads, I let them dry completely on a tray for about a week, then put them into a big container in which I can walk in with clean shoes to squish and break them up, which already removes some seeds. Then I take a thick (preferablly lether coated) glove and pliers to push or pull the rest out. I dont mind if I dont get all of them out, because I use the remaining material to broadcast sow for the next crop. May God bless you and your work on the homestead.
Thank you for sharing your method. I’ve tried the shoe squishing method and it didn’t work. I think it may have been because I live in a humid environment and they weren’t crispy dry. But I love the idea of the thick gloves and pliers. There would definitely be less ow’s with that!!
I would say generally most people see this as a terrible weed. But for those who know, it's a wonderfully helpful herb. Good video.
Thank you for watching ❤️🌱❤️
Yes! I've just today noticed it blooming around where I live and I came home to jump on and find someone to teach me how to harvest. Thanks for this video! I know what to do now. I noticed Salena has Mullein growing behind her Thistle too (respiratory if I'm not mistaken).
@@mitzigarner-hughes9286 yes that is mullein waving hello in the background, a great medicine for the respiratory system. Happy Milk Thistle harvest ❤
@@salenawalkertoday I plucked some fluffy thistle heads to bring home. I was expecting to find larger seeds (like yours in this video)as I pulled out the "fairies" (wink) but Salena, these seeds are TINY like a dandelion seed!! And most of them are a light brown color, not all black. Some were not hardly ready to pull, so I'm going back to get leaves to dry. But my question is about the seed size, why are yours larger and easier to handle?!
@@mitzigarner-hughes9286 I would double check you have the right thistle as there are many different kinds of thistle. The Milk Thistle seed are plump and very dark when ripe. They are about the size of a sunflower seed. Maybe they aren't ready?
Thanks for sharing, milk thistle is one of my three friends for the liver, dandelion and burdock being the others. Love the videos.
We have the same liver friends ❤️🌱❤️
About to harvest my first seeds...so excited! Thank you for creating such a helpful and informative video. I can't wait to check out the rest of your stuff. Sharing
Happy harvesting ❤️🌱❤️
Another great benefit is for gardeners. Bees love this plant.
The majority of the medicinal plants are beneficial to us humans, the soil and wildlife 🐝 ❤️🐝
Great video, thanks.
How do you consume it?
Make tea, put it in a blender, in porridge, please give me some ideas.
As I always say it’s individual as it depends on your goals. I mainly make it into a tincture due to my clients needs. But it works great ground fresh into a powder and taken mixed into a small amount of water.
Please tell me how does one administers milk thistle? How much, how often , how long?
Dosage is a very individual question. As it depends on the symptoms and severity of symptoms, how sensitive the person is and what is going on in that person. It is very different to prescribe pharmaceuticals as herbs work in an individual level. I prescribe tinctures between 5 drops to one teaspoon three times a day. So you’ll need to find a good personal dose for you.
Is there a reasom you dont keep the fluff on and just burn all the fluff off all of them at the same time? Ive seen people do that with dandelion and milkweed when theyre saving the seeds to plant
As I’m saving the seed to use for medicine I wouldn’t want to burn the fluff in case it changes the medicinal constituents ❤️🌱❤️
As a kid (long time ago) it grew wild in our pasture. One of our ponies, who tended to be a bit on the sickly side from time to time, he would eat the heads off them. The only one of our horses that did that. I always wondered if he was getting relief from it.
It’s interesting watching what plants animals go to. Thank you for sharing ❤️🌱❤️
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you. I'm going to check out your other videos now!

I collected my biggest scissors, paper-lined box and thick gloves.
✂️🗞️🧤
I trundled down to the paddock…only to find about 5 wild Milk Thistles growing and starting to flower! I think I have a few weeks left to wait though, they’re still too immature. We live in Australia 🇦🇺 and spring has just started…I’m waiting excitedly.
This year we’re not pulling them out and burning them like we have done for about…oh 🙆♀️ about 20 years!!!
I feel like I’ve been pouring medicine down the drain!! 🤦♀️
Anyhoooo…I’ve gently drape/tied some colourful giftware ribbon around them now and will be be ever so loving to MY MILKTHISTLE patch! ☝️😁👍
Selena…I had many stomach problems, including ulcers. Looking for answers and taking a few prescribed meds to help!! HELP!!! Hah!!!
The meds did NOTHING to heal me just allow me to exist in pain and insomnia!
In Feb ‘23, I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma and my GP booked me into a bone biopsy.
I was so ‘down’, being almost bed ridden, in pain and could barely move. It took a lot just to go to the loo at least 20 times per day. So I searched for a Will Kit on line…when I discovered
@motivationaldoc Dr. Mandell, a retired physician 👨⚕️ who now helps people around the world for free (giving hearing aids and health checks to children all around the world etc) anyhoooo, he talks about herbs and spices as medicine and I formulated a daily elixir on his findings. I wanted to see if this could help me. I must say I’m a walking MIRACLE.
Within one week of drinking my DAILY ELIXIR (turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, olive or coconut oil, black pepper, cayenne, apple cider vinegar wm, raw honey and chia seeds.
Six months later, still on a waiting list, my Haematologist needed to see me urgently!!!
I was so afraid 😱
He smiled and showed me my blood test results and couldn’t believe it.
I was perfectly healthy. All my abnormal cells were GONE!!
Also a follow up on my gallstones ultrasound showed they had been reabsorbed!?!
GP has tapered me down off my useless meds and I have no digestion problems anymore. No more insomnia, no more inflammation anywhere.
I excitedly jump out of bed now and have loads of energy. Love cooking and EATING again.
☝️🤣👌
I wish you would have had time to talk about dosage and ROA
I stay away from giving specific dosage advice for individuals as we are all different. As a naturopath I access the whole picture looking at current symptoms from head to toe including physical, emotional and spiritual symptoms. I also explore the clients external world to be able to understand their internal world at cellular level. I would also need to know what your current diet, hydration you consume and details of any medications you take as there could be contraindications. This process takes an hour and half in my consultation and results in me being able to give the client a personal prescription that works with the body not against the body. Focusing on hydration, food, purposeful supplementation / herbal medicine and naturopathic techniques.
It would not be ethical for me to make suggestions without knowing the full picture as this would be prescribing in the same manner as allopathic medicine. Which is very unlikely to be beneficial.
I hope you understand and it makes sense to you. This video may explain it in a different way:

Very well said !
Is there a video on how to use it? Thank you from Australia
Many people have asked this question. So I will do a video talking about this soon…
But for now I would say… Offering specific advice on dosage is tricky since I tailor herbal prescriptions to individual cases, unlike allopathic medicine. Ethically, I can't suggest without the full picture to avoid potential harm or contraindications. It's wise to research herb contraindications and dosage based on your purpose. Check out the video for a different perspective on naturopathic prescriptions: ua-cam.com/video/F4iyBUEcWz4/v-deo.html
Cariad mawr / Big love Salena! ❤️🌱❤️
Thanks I'm going to look for some in my garden
Happy foraging ❤️🌱❤️
Found some after a 5 minute walk have some seeds. Slow work will make some tea. Any tips appreciated
@@franciso.connell1634 as its a seed you will either need to create a decoction or grind the seed before putting into water. This will make sure you can access the medicine. To get at the seeds you could put them in a bag and bash it with a rolling pin as this can sometimes release the seeds in small amounts.
@@salenawalker the seeds are so small I have about a table spoon. So I need to grind before putting them into boiling water?
@@franciso.connell1634 yes or put them in a pan and bring to the boil and then simmer for 15-20 minutes with a lid on.
The fluff from the seeds would probably make a good tender for those bushcraft/survivalist out there. You know what they say, who ever they are, waste not want not.
I love that idea. Thank you for sharing ❤️🌱❤️
Absolutely! I've already stuffed an old pill bottle to put in my backpack!
@@mitzigarner-hughes9286 Great idea!!

Love the tea idea. Thank you for watching and sharing 🌱❤️🌱
When you collect it, when the plant is dried?
I collect the seeds when it’s dry enough for the seeds to be pulled from the head.
Do you have any recommendations for tinnitus. I have heard milk thistle may help. Any thought would be appreciated.
It is very difficult for me to offer advice from messages. As a naturopath I access the whole picture looking at current symptoms from head to toe including physical, emotional and spiritual symptoms. I also explore the clients external world to be able to understand their internal world at cellular level. I would also need to know what your current diet, hydration you consume and details of any medications you take as there could be contraindications.

It would not be ethical for me to make suggestions without knowing the full picture as this would be prescribing in the same manner as allopathic medicine. Which is very unlikely to be beneficial. I would also be unaware of many possible contradictions. The main thing is getting to the root cause as with tinnitus it could be many things such as autoimmune, B12 deficiency, fatigue, stress, ear damage etc.

Thanks for the inspiration! I'll be planting my own Milk Thistle patch soon! 💚
Brilliant and thank you for watching ❤️🌱❤️
Took way too long to explain . Is the seed directly edible or the flower? Is the milk from the leaves digestible? How do you you suppose to ingest this herb?
I am sorry you felt this way. It is simply me with my phone trying to do the best I can in small little videos with no camera crew. If you feel I take to long to explain then my channel probably isn't the right fit for you.
The seed is the main herbal medicine and therefore the edible part. No the milk in the leaves is not digestible. You can ingest the herb the same as all other herbal medicines. For example by making a tincture, grinding the seed, making a decoction from the seed etc. I hope that is helpful 🌱
What do you do with the seeds after?
I will be grinding some up for powders and capsules and making tinctures.
As I understand it, there are many species of thistle in Europe that all look very similar, but are not milk thistle. I'm wondering if there is any less potency and medicinal benefits in the seeds of the other non milk thistle species - if you know? Thank you.
It's a great question! They will all have individual medicinal benefits and some of them will be similar but sadly I am not an expert on this. It is something that I would like to explore in the future and when I have answers I will create a video about it.
@@salenawalker Hey, thank you for taking the time to reply, much appreciated. My Flora Incognita app identifies my variant as the 'Creeping Thistle'. It looks like the Milk Thistle in all but the lack of white milky veins.
@@RobertsBulgaria yes we also have creeping thistle here. This is a different plant medicinally but also has medicinal elements. It’s not one that is generally taught about now and has gone out of fashion. Most of the so called weeds are great medicine ❤️🌱❤️
If you get stung from nettles burdock is the antidote to take away the burn. Jut like jewel weed is the antidote for poison ivy.
I was brought up using dock but I actually find plantain the best. Good to hear about burdock also, thank you for sharing 🌱❤️🌱
Thank you for the great information.
God Bless you.
Thank you for watching 🌱❤️🌱
Is there any buyer fr milk thistle seeds, we have huge fields crop
There are buyers but it’ll depend where you live. I’m no expert in wholesale herbal selling. I would contact a local wholesale herbal seller.
Your video doesn't show close up details how process harvesting it. Sorry but it's to vague, dark. I can't see thr process of harvesting.😢
I am sorry it was difficult for you to see. I do not have a full camera crew it is simply me with my phone trying to do the best I can. If you have any questions please feel free to ask and maybe I can help 😆
Very cool video thank you CM from Connecticut
Thank you for watching 🌱❤️🌱
Hi! Thank you for the great video, I collect some of those but the seeds are not black they are kind of white and black,what that means?
When I harvest I also get different ranges of colours. I feel that the lighter colours are the less mature seeds ❤️🌱❤️
@@salenawalker Ok ,thank you for the feedback..maybe,is strange though cause the plant was already start drying /dying . You think that less mature is also less medicinal?
My favorite kind of day. Lovely hanging out with you!

So the roots are no good for anything. Love your video thank you.🥰🤗
There is a history of the roots being eaten. I think that every part of each plant has a purpose. Some we can work with for medicine or eat as food. Others will feed the pollinators or feed the soil ❤️🌱❤️
THATS CALLED SCOTCH THISTLE IN MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD IN AUSTRALIA MILK THISTLE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE THAT.
My understanding is Scotch Thistle is different. It’s an invasive species with the Latin name Onopordum acanthium. But I know many countries have different names for Milk Thistle such as Blessed Milk Thistle, Mary Thistle and yes Scotch Thistle. Where as this thistle that is known commonly in the UK as Milk Thistle it’s Latin name is Silybum marianum. I know when I meet up with herbalists from different countries we have to refer to the Latin names as common names can be so different. It’s fascinating and thank you sharing ❤️🌱❤️
Thanks for sharing.
When I’m dealing with things like this (spines)…I’ll take a paper bag or bucket with me & trim off the points while harvesting. Then the bag/bucket can be directly dumped…. 😊
That’s a great idea thank you for sharing ❤️
Thank You for your video. I have plenty of milk thistle in my yard to harvest. After you harvest do you cut the plant down. It seems they haven’t any problem reseeding the next year
Yes I do cut them down after harvesting. With very thick gloves!! I find if I get most of the seed heads in my harvest I don’t get too many self seeders. If it becomes a problem you could always mulch the area with cardboard over winter as that’ll stop the self seeders. Happy harvesting ❤️🌱❤️
One caution i heard about with milk thistle is if you're taking drugs that need to stay in your system, such as hiv drugs, for example, don't use milk thistle. It will cleanse the drug out and render it useless.
Any herb that works on the liver can have this potential contraindication. I always think contraindications tell us the power of the plant ❤️🌱❤️
@@salenawalker yep. I think it's better to use herbs instead of drugs but in cases such as HIV, what herb will take care of that problem?
I have some growing next to my mailbox on a busy logging road. Do you think they're contaminated?
I would not collect food or medicine from a busy road.
Can you make a video on how to grow them from seed? Would they do well in harsh hot dry climates? It gets to 118 F here.
At some point I will do a growing herbs from seed video 🌱❤️🌱 You live in a climate that’s the complete opposite of mine it’s very humid and wet here. So I can’t advice on growing in your climate as I have no experience growing f ever growing in those conditions 🌱❤️🌱
I don't remember exactly how I harvested the seeds but i do remember putting the heads about half full in buckets where they can dry. When they were dry, i put a lid on and shook it until the heads, fairies, and seeds separate. I take out the heads and the bulk of the fairies. I take advantage of the wind to separate the rest of the fairies from the seeds.
That’s a great idea. I’ll try that one out. I did try putting them in mushroom crates and doing this but only a few of the seeds dropped out. Thank you for sharing ❤️🌱❤️
how do you make the tea?
If you want to make a tea from seeds you need to make a decoction. In a very quick description. Put the seeds in a pan with water, and cover with a lid. Bring to the boil and simmer for twenty minutes. Dosage will depend on individual constitution and you would need to check for personal contraindications.
Such an informative video, thank you. I am new to this and my question is how ling do i let it sit before use, how to administer it and dosage? Thanks again
I am assuming you are talking about a tincture? I let my tinctures brew for a month and then strain it. I dilute it in water to take it. Offering specific advice on dosage is tricky since I tailor herbal prescriptions to individual cases, unlike allopathic medicine.

Can’t see what you are doing.
I’m not sure which but you are talking about? I do all of the filming on my own so it’s very difficult to do close ups and different shots. No professional team here, just me and my phone trying to spread the word ❤️🌱❤️
@@salenawalker I appreciate that. I know it’s hard to do.
My mom let's them dry out on the plant, then she just just pulls them off from the bottom of the bloom with gloves with her hands and they pluck right off fairly easily and she does not get poked. She is 80 years old. They are in wild cattle pasture, so if seeds spread prior to harvest, it is not the end of the world. She plucks them to slow and reduce their spread. I may have to try them out though for health reasons, I just thought they were trouble - thanks for the video!
Wow, thank you for sharing ❤️🌱❤️That’s one great technique as I have never managed to pluck them all out without getting hit by the spikes! I can pluck the clump in the middle out but the ones around the edges call for serious gloves and scissors.
@@salenawalker Oh true about the ones tight to the base, she just plucks the ones that reach high for the sky...the ones with long skinny necks.
I started milk thistle in the spring and it was a small plant. I started it in the fall, in the same container and soil and it grew MUCH BIGGER.
Yes, Milk thistle can be grown as a winter annual or a biennal. If you sow late summer to autumn the plant will flower in early summer and produce more seeds but your spring sowings will flower later in summer ❤️🌱❤️
I assume a later stage is to remove the husks from the dried seeds? Or would husks contain medicinal properties?
Many people do different things. Some people blend the seeds with alcohol to tincture. Some people place the whole seed in high strength alcohol and others use ground powder. I would only use powder that I’ve freshly ground myself as powdered herbs deteriorate very quickly. I tend to bash the seed in a pestle and mortar or give it a quick blitz in my nutribullet before placing in high strength alcohol ❤️🌱❤️
I enjoy you and the information that you’ve delivered about milk thistle seed!
Thank you for watching and exploring milk thistle seed ❤️🌱❤️
Have you ever seen yellow milk thistle seeds...Is it the same quality as black...and what is the difference between it?
It’s not a plant I know of but there may be some confusion of plants as different countries use the same common names for different plants. So let’s check… in this video I am talking about the milk thistle with the Latin name Silybum marianum. I think you may be talking about yellow field milk thistle with the Latin name Sonchus arvensis?

Can U consume this raw

When I have used prepared pills bought in grocery stores (Spring valley brand and Nature's bounty brand) the plant isn't cooked, just dried and ground up.
You can consume ground milk thistle seed raw.
stir into warm milk and drink maybe? In India they consume powdered turmeric this way at bedtime. Heard it is referred to as golden milk. 🙂
Hey I just started harvesting milk thistle that had been growing in my yard! But your seeds look SO much bigger than mine, mine are tiny in comparison about the size of a tomato seed
Okay well I would still love a response but I think I may have Scottish thistle? I would love to grow some milk thistle though would it be simple to get good plantable milk thistle seeds from somewhere?
It depends what country you are in. I generally purchase my seeds from either Earthsong Seeds or Poyntzfield Herbs.
You can have different size seeds. But they are generally larger than a tomato seed, more like a sunflower seed. Double check your leaves for ID of the plant. Happy harvesting ❤️🌱❤️

Is it possible just to ingest the seeds themselves
Yes you can. It would be best to grind the seeds to a powder as and when you want to ingest. As when the seeds are powdered they oxidise and lose medicinal qualities quickly so only grind what you need.

So does making it in a glycerin form work? Or does it not pull enough of the plants properties?
@@aprilmaemae2 I never just work with glycerin on its own I always combine with alcohol to add extra preservative and pull out more medicinal constituents. These I call glycerites. I mainly use glycerites when working with plants that have high VOC. There's a video about glycerites on my channel.
