| 古老草本主治當今流行疾病: 苔薊草(一) Milk Thistle: Ancient Healer Part I | |||||||||||
| | ||||||||||
 苔薊草(又稱奶薊或水飛薊)，與朝鮮薊、雛菊和向日葵等植物相關，人類認識其重要的藥用功效已超過2,000年。苔薊草的種子含一類稱為silymarins的物質，而其中之一的 silibinin是現代研究的重要題目。關愛您的肝臟著名第三代草藥醫師Christopher Hobbs, LAc 說：「現代生活環境中存在太多化學製劑，這些包括食品添加劑和殺蟲劑等。」肝臟是作為解毒的主要器官。苔薊草萃取物(MTE)所含的Silymarins 不僅提高肝臟的解毒能力，亦將毒素排除於肝細胞外，達到保護肝臟的目的。 MTE通過清除自由基，有效防止脂肪氧化和減少肝臟纖維化。除了預防作用外，高濃度苔薊草萃取物經臨床測試證實對慢性肝炎、肝硬化和肝中毒等損害都有幫 助。 德國Commission E(相當於美國的FDA)委員會提及，苔薊草是安全和有效的草本藥物，「對毒性肝損傷和慢性肝炎、肝硬化很有功效」。另外，世界衛生組織WTO也發表專題文章，表揚苔薊草萃取物MTE的治療價值。 Related to artichokes, daisies, and sunflowers, milk thistle (Silybum marianum) has been a popular healing agent for more than 2,000 years. Its seeds contain a variety of substances called silymarins, of which silibinin has been a topic of research lately. Love Your Liver “Our modern environment is full of stressful chemicals [including] food additives and pesticides,” says third-generation herbalist Christopher Hobbs, LAc. As a primary organ of detoxification, the liver takes plenty of hits. Silymarins in milk thistle extract (MTE) not only enhance the liver’s detoxification capacity but also protect the liver by keeping toxins out of its cells. MTE protects the liver by scavenging free radicals, inhibiting oxidation of fats, and reducing the development of fibrous tissue in the liver. In addition to milk thistle’s preventive powers, clinical trials show that concentrated MTE benefits people with chronic inflammatory liver disease, cirrhosis of the liver, and toxic liver damage. Germany’s Commission E (roughly comparable to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) concludes this herb is safe and effective for “toxic liver damage and for supportive treatment in chronic inflammatory liver disease and hepatic cirrhosis.” Additional therapeutic monographs by the World Health Organization also cite the therapeutic value of MTE.
