	botanical.com - A Modern Herbal \| Thistles - Herb Profile and Information
		Thistle is the old English name - essentially the same in all kindred languages - for a large family of plants occurring chiefly in Europe and Asia, of which we have fourteen species in Great Britain, arranged under the botanical groups Carduus, Carlina, Onopordon and Carbenia, or Cnicus.
		Culpepper considered the Milk Thistle to be as efficient as Carduus benedictus for agues, and preventing and curing the infection of the plague, and also for removal of obstructions of the liver and spleen.
		Which is the true Scotch Thistle even the Scottish antiquarians cannot decide, but it is generally considered to be this species of Thistle that was originally the badge of the House of Stuart, and came to be regarded as the national emblem of Scotland.

	Canada Thistle
		Canada thistle is a creeping perennial that reproduces from vegetative buds in its root system and from seed.
		Apply Curtail (2 to 3 quarts/A) when the oldest Canada thistle plants are entering the bud growth stage and the youngest are in the rosette to bolting growth stages.
		When Canada thistle infestations occur in situations where root growth would be restricted, such as habitats with high water tables, begin mowing when it is 12 to 15 inches tall.

	Milk Thistle
		Milk thistle is easy to grow, and it matures quickly, in less than a year.
		Side effects from milk thistle happen only rarely, but may include stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, rash or other skin reactions, joint pain, impotence, and anaphylaxis (a life-threatening allergic reaction that causes throat tightness, shortness of breath, and, possibly, loss of consciousness.) The last two reactions listed are extremely rare.
		In addition, milk thistle may protect the kidneys against toxic side effects associated with cisplatin and cyclosporine, two medications that are commonly used to treat cancer.

		Musk Thistle reduces forage quality and yields in infested hayfields and the plant's long, sharp spines limit the use of infested areas for grazing or recreation.
		Occasionally, a mature thistle or two are noticed in a remote location and the observer should have no fear of approaching the weed with shovel in hand.
		Plumeless Thistle is distinguished from Musk Thistle by its smaller flowers, which are born in dusters and are less nodding than flowers of Musk Thistle.
