I was desperate to try something natural that might help a psoriasis sore on the back of my thigh, that just kept getting itchier and itchier~ tried everything~ heavy dose probiotics, vitamins and supplement regimens, eating whole foods, getting enough sleep and including meditative modalities to help alleviate stress, digestive aids, lots of moisturizers and oils applied topically, but I knew it had to be something internal.... not only was the psoriasis there, but I had felt out of sorts for months on end, increasingly depressed and anxious~ and I am a person who is pretty aware of my physical and mental state and keep tabs on what goes into my body that might affect me in those areas.... enter milk thistle... just on a whim decide to buy thinking it couldn't hurt~ and, I kid you not~ within hours felt what I can only describe as a "cooling" sensation in my body, like inflammation was being taken down a level, and that maybe the milk thistle was actually doing something, cleaning my blood perhaps... within a few days, the redness of my psoriasis started to dissipate and minor skin shedding was occurring, which means it was healing.... I felt more energetic and clearer thinking than I had in months, and my depression and anxiety have continued to abate. I read later that milk thistle cleans out the liver, and the liver plays a hand in dealing with your hormone levels which would explain my anxiety/ depression for no reason~ a clogged & sluggish liver also can't detoxify quickly enough so it sends toxins out thru your skin, thus, the psoriasis... all of this is getting better with continued use of the milk thistle, and I couldn't be more grateful.
