Anyone know the difference between these two herbs? I went to GNC to get blessed thistle and grabbed milk thistle instead. I've already opened the bottle, so I can't take it back. It was in with some other lactation products like fenugreek and milk tea, but I don't know if milk thistle is also used for lactation.
Milk thistle is used to help the liver. I'm not trying to lactate, so I'm not an expert on that use.
I did find a discussion of the two here [url=http://community.babycenter.com/post/a15768785/blessed_thistle_vs._milk_thistle...warning]Blessed thistle VS. Milk thistle...WARNING!! - Breastfeeding support and help - BabyCenter[/url]

I had seen that discussion as well...it seems to go back and forth. I'm going to talk to a lactation consultant and see what they say.
