Blessed Thistle (Cnicus benedictus) is an herb native to Europe and parts of Asia but is now also commonly cultivated in North America.  Because of its bitter properties, Blessed Thistle has traditionally been used as a digestive tonic as well as to stimulate a poor appetite.
 
Blessed thistle has been observed to have antimicrobial effects in laboratory studies. However, there are no reliable studies in humans that have found that blessed thistle offers substantial benefits in treating any type of infection.
Historically, blessed thistle has been recommended as a treatment for stomach upset, indigestion and gas. There is only limited study in this area, and it is not clear what the effects of blessed thistle may be on the stomach.

In the past Blessed Thistle was used for Liver congestion, stomach problems, loss of appetite, dyspepsia, fever, bleeding, hepatitis, and jaundice.  Blessed thistle is said to have great power in the purification and circulation of the blood, and on this account strengthens the brain and the memory.  The leaves, dried and powdered, are good for worms. It is chiefly used now for nursing mothers the warm infusion scarcely ever failing to procure a proper supply of milk. It is considered one of the best medicines which can be used for the purpose.
