Milk Thistle â Used medicinally for over 2,000 years, milk thistle is a well-known protector against liver injury. Milk thistle helps the liver in three distinct ways. First, milk thistle can incorporate itself into the liver cells and prevent the absorption of toxins into the cells.

With healthier liver cells, fewer toxins can aggravate the cells, which ultimately reduces liver inflammation.
