The white thorn (Silybum marianum) is a herbaceous annual to biennial plant of the Asteraceae family.

Meeting in the Mediterranean part of Europe, including in Bulgaria up to 1000 m above sea level.

The stem is unbranched or slightly branched. Its height is up to 150 cm. The leaves are alternately arranged and end with yellowish spines. It blooms from May to August.

White thorn (also known as Silymarin) has been used in folk medicine for 2000 years, mainly for the treatment of liver and bile diseases. Its active component is thought to be the flavonoid complex called silymarin. Silybinin, the most active ingredient in silymarin, can inhibit the synthesis of 5-lipoxygenase, which is involved in free radical formation, to clear hydroxyl radicals, and to suppress tumor necrosis factor (TNF).

A number of scientific studies support the role of white thorn as an antioxidant that reduces free radical formation and affects cell growth and apoptosis (cell death), thereby reducing inflammation and maintaining liver tolerance to oxidative stress, including damage caused by oxidative stress toxins such as carbon tetrachloride.

It is scientifically proven that white thorn oil has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antitoxic effects.

Silymarin contained in white thorn oil suppresses the development of formalin peritonitis and immunologically induced polyarthritis. It is accepted that the anti-hepatotoxic action of silymarin is due to competitive interactions with receptors for the relevant toxins in the hepatocyte membrane and more generally to membranotropic action.

The protective and curative effect of silibin on the liver parenchyma is favored by the fact that about 80% of the administered dose is eliminated by bile.
