Milk thistle, also known as Silybum Marianum is an herb that has been used for thousands of years by humans for its powerful medicinal properties. The active ingredient is Silymarin which contains flavonoids that have many beneficial properties including:

• Anti-inflammatory
• Antioxidant (acts as free radical scavengers)
• Detoxifying
• Promotes cellular regeneration and repair
• Removes toxic chemicals that can accumulate in your cat’s system

Milk thistle is one of the few herbs that have no equivalent in conventional medicine and has many uses. You can read about the many applications of Milk Thistle for cats and dogs on Dr. Hillary Cook's blog.

Milk Thistle for Liver Function

• Assists with detoxifying a damaged liver
• Enhances the regenerative effects by supporting and strengthening the liver

Milk Thistle for Kidney Function

• Improves kidney function as well as aiding the damage that can occur in the body due to the use of drugs, radiation therapy, diabetes, and infections.

Milk Thistle for Anti-Cancer Support

• Due to the antioxidant properties, Milk Thistle may help reduce or slow down the growth of specific cancer cells.

Milk Thistle may also be beneficial to cats undergoing chemotherapy as Silymarium may enhance the activity of certain chemo drugs.

Healing Properties of Turmeric

Turmeric itself is a root with vibrant orange-golden flesh. It’s golden in the world of herbalism for pets with its many healing properties.

• Can help arthritic conditions due to its anti-inflammatory properties and COX2 inhibitors
• Can support autoimmune disorders by potentially improving the signaling pathways of immune cells
• Can benefit cats with cancer due to its antioxidant content
• Can support liver disorders through detoxification
• Can support heart conditions through improved circulation
• Can help to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) which cats are prone to
• Can help reduce the risk of blood clotting

One of turmeric’s most well-recognized healing properties is its antioxidant content. Antioxidants can help scavenge for free radicals, which are unstable molecules that cause damage to the cells. The free radical scavenging properties of turmeric can support the body in processing and removing these molecules, minimizing the damage they can do.
