THE BENEFITS OF THE USE OF BLESSED THISTLE
IN HERBAL PREPARATIONS

CONTRA-INDICATIONS OF BLESSED THISTLE
There are few contra-indications of Blessed Thistle.  Its uses date back several hundred years and its historical safety has been verified.  Dr. Christopher doesn’t mention any contra-indications but different uses.  “A larger dose of the warm infusion causes emesis (vomiting) when found useful.”  Dr Schlegel in his translation of the Doctrine of Signatures says “When used in excess, they dry the joints and sperm, damage them, and disturb the digestion.”  This he talks of bitter herbs in general.  Richard Will fort claims “It is not to be used in cases of kidney inflammation of nephritis.”  I have always recommended not to be used during pregnancy to be safe.
