I got milk thistle the real plant from the mountains and i need help in papering it to take it as a liver tonic, what is the recipe or medicinal prep?

Can be dried.: Milk thistle can be taken orally in supplements or in tea it may cause diarrhea. More rarely, it may cause nausea, bloating, gas, and upset stomach. Women who are breastfeeding or pregnant should avoid using milk thistle. If you have a ragweed allergy, you should also avoid milk thistle.It may cause a rash or lead to severe allergic reaction. Always tell your doctor before taking.

Eat the seeds: While the whole plant can be eaten, the part most beneficial for the liver is the seeds. But you need to eat a lot to have much benefit. About 1 tbsp of seeds will supply the daily recommended dose of silymarin, the active ingredient. They can be eaten whole or ground, fresh or cooked.
