Frequently Asked Questions About Artichoke milk thistle tea
What is artichoke milk thistle tea used for?
Artichoke milk thistle tea is commonly marketed for digestion and liver support, but drinking it has not been shown to detoxify the liver or treat liver disease. It can be enjoyed as an herbal drink, not as a substitute for medical care.
