About this product
What Milk Thistle (Oont Katara) Tea is
Milk thistle, oont katara in Urdu, is a thistle plant (Silybum marianum) whose hard seeds are used for a mild, slightly nutty herbal drink. It has no caffeine. In Unani and European herbal practice, oont katara has long been taken to support the liver and gallbladder. The seed contains silymarin, which is rich in antioxidants that have been studied for their protective effects. It is also taken to help manage blood sugar and to support bone and heart health, and it is traditionally given to breastfeeding mothers to help milk flow, though anyone breastfeeding should ask their doctor first.
- How to use
- Lightly crush about 1 teaspoon of seed. Simmer in a cup and a half of water for 10 minutes, then strain. The seeds are hard, so a short steep gives very little flavour. A common routine is one cup a day.
- Choosing a pack
- Comes in 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg packs. 250 g lasts a long time at a teaspoon a day.
- Safety notes
- A herbal drink. Not a substitute for medical treatment; keep taking any medicine your doctor has prescribed. Ask your doctor first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid it if you are allergic to plants of the daisy family. If you take medicine for diabetes, ask your doctor first, as it may lower blood sugar.
