Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) is a spiny, purple‑flowered plant native to the Mediterranean region. Its use dates back over 2,000 years, with references in ancient Greek and Roman texts. Traditionally, it was cultivated for both its striking appearance and its symbolic associations with protection, resilience, and renewal.
Throughout the Middle Ages, Milk Thistle was grown in monastery gardens and valued in herbal traditions across Europe. Today, it remains a respected botanical, recognized for its rich silymarin content and enduring cultural significance.
