Liver Problem - "milk Thistle" Translation Needed

[jedtimmer]

Have a good friend here in Songkhla, Thailand who's come down with a serious

Liver problem, apparently partly brought on by hepatitis and aggravated by

moderate alcohol ingestion. He's in bad shape right now. Pumped him

full of chemicals at some Bangkok hospital. His condition is quite serious.

I've read all over the Net that "Milk Thistle" (Silymarin extract) might help in

alleviating the condition.

Am having a heck of a time trying to get the words "Milk Thistle" translated.

Getting all false leads or no results huntiong for days thru on-line Thai

dictionaries but mostly erroneous re-directs to all sorts of junk sites.

I'm hoping that someone at this forum with a decent English-Thai

dictionary could provide me with a quick translation so that I might

be able to search for this herb locally.

Any decent (non-quack) information and a translation greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jed...
