Blessed Thistle Tea

I found some wild blessed thistle yesterday and decided to make tea out of it. It has numerous health benefits including:
  • Increasing Breast Milk Supply: Supposedly you get more benefits by combining it with fenugreek, alfalfa, or some other herbs.
  • Stimulating Digestion
  • Detoxing Liver and Kidneys
 It's quite bitter so you can mix it with other things but it's free, it's wild, and it's really healthy :)

I put a few stems with leaves in a tea pot and brewed them with hot water, as I'm not sure the correct dosage for it when its fresh. It didn't really taste like anything so I think I will use more next time. It's also really good for menstrual problems so I will probably only use it during those times as I don't have a lot of it.
