About the ingredients
Blessed thistle is the aerial herb of Cnicus benedictus. The plant belongs to the Asteraceae family and has a pronounced bitter character.
In traditional practice, blessed thistle is used as a digestive bitter, particularly around meals and during occasional loss of appetite. Its role is best understood as part of a broader eating routine that includes regular meals and attention to individual tolerance. The capsule provides a convenient serving of the aerial herb.
