In the Middle Ages, thistle was one of the most common European medicinal herbs. The plant is praised for its medicinal powers in Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" and was recommended in early herbal treatments as a remedy for migraine and other headaches. Despite its past popularity, Blessed Thistle is now considered genuinely useful only for digestive problems. It works by stimulating the production of saliva and digestive juices. The plant originated in southern Europe, but is now cultivated throughout the continent.
