chund Explanation: I found this term in the herbal gardens section of President of India's website. You will find the Indian names (if there is one) under the common names head. Here is the link:http://presidentofindia.nic.in/herbal_gardens.html Another link that suggests this term: http://www.ammas.com/ar/home.cfm?r=va&cid=0&bid=1519&tid=106... However, no sanskrit/indian name is listed for "Milk thistle" on this Ayurveda herbs website: http://www.aayurherb.com/indian-ayurvedic-herbs.html#s |

milk-thistle thistle is called गोखरु or गोखरू in Hindi Explanation: Thistle refers to the weedy species of Cirsium, Carduus, Echinops, Sonchus, and other plant genera of the family Asteraceae. The word thistle most often refers to prickly leaved species of Carduus and Cirsium, which usually have pink or purple flowers. I think there is one type [Echinops or Sonchus] which has white flowers, that is what might be Milk-thistle. |
