This plant has a tall, slender habit similar to the Cotton Thistle, with deeply lobed leaves that are wavy and spiny at the edge. Its dark green foliage features prominent white veins. It can often be found in hedgerows and abandoned areas, particularly near buildings, which has led some experts to question its native status. In Scotland, it is relatively rare.

The heads of this thistle were once considered edible, similar to artichokes. A legend suggests that the white veins on its leaves are a result of the Virgin Mary's milk falling upon a plant, earning it the name Our Lady's Thistle and its Latin species name. The Marian or Milk Thistle is likely the most valuable medicinal member of this genus.

How to use:

Powdered Herb:

Powdered herbs can be used in a variety of applications.

You can add powdered herb to a variety of foods, such as smoothies, sauces, spreads, and baked goods like cookies. For children, mix the powder with honey or glycerin to create a paste. The thicker the paste, the stronger its flavor will be. This method, known as "Electuaries", combines the herbal taste with a sweetener that can make it easier for kids to take.

Making your own herbal capsules at home ensures that each capsule contains only pure, unadulterated herb, without any fillers or additives. They can be easily dissolved in a liquid for consumption.

An herbal poultice is created by mixing an herbal powder with a liquid, such as water, to form a paste that is applied directly to the skin, providing relief from various skin conditions.

Mix powdered herbs with water, fruit juice, or another liquid to create an herbal shot.
