It's all hype and happenstance. Milk Thistle doesn't do anything for your liver, and the only legit use for ginger is on chicken at Chinese restaurants.

Laboratory studies show that milk thistle protects and promotes regeneration of the liver. Milk thistle has been used as an emergency antidote to poisoning by deathcap mushroom (Amanita phalloides). Workers who had been exposed to vapors from toxic chemicals - toluene and/or xylene - for between 5 - 20 years were given either a standardized milk thistle extract or placebo for 30 days. The workers taking the milk thistle showed significant improvement in liver function tests and platelet counts compared to the placebo group. In a study published in the journal Cancer, milk thistle showed promise in reducing the liver damaging effects of chemotherapy in a study of 50 children.

Ginger is an anti inflammatory and used for various conditions such as pain and nausea. "So far, several studies have shown that ginger appears to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties similar to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, but without the side effects (which can include gastrointestinal bleeding and ulcers). In one study, taking a daily dose of ginger (30 to 500 mg.) for four to 36 weeks successfully reduced knee pain in people suffering from osteoarthritis. In a study just reported in the journal Pediatric Blood and Cancer, researchers from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi have documented that ginger significantly reduced nausea and vomiting in children subjected to chemotherapy for cancer. In addition, new research published this month in the journal Molecular Vision suggests ginger may prevent or delay the development of cataracts in diabetics."

Milk thistle is just garbage, don't waste your money. Ginger might be better than a placebo at relieving nausea, but that's it.
