Detox Tincture | Nettle, Dandelion & Milk Thistle

Triple-Herb European Botanical Blend

This tincture brings together three herbs with deep roots in the European herbal tradition: white dead-nettle (Lamium album), dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), and milk thistle (Silybum marianum). The blend is prepared in a 40% alcohol base. Each of these plants has been a staple in European folk herbalism for generations, and they complement each other well in a combined formulation.

The Three Herbs and Their Profiles

White dead-nettle has been used in traditional European herbalism for generations, particularly valued in Central European folk practice. Despite its common name, it is not related to stinging nettle and does not sting. The plant contains iridoid glycosides and flavonoids. Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is one of the most ubiquitous herbs in European tradition, with every part of the plant used historically. It contains taraxasterol and other triterpenes, along with a notable concentration of potassium and other minerals.

Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is perhaps the most well-known of the three. Its active compound silymarin, a group of flavonolignans (primarily silybin, silydianin, and silychristin), has been the subject of extensive research interest. The distinctive purple-flowered thistle with its marbled white-veined leaves has been valued in Mediterranean herbalism since antiquity.
