Preview
Cynara scolymus, also known as artichoke, is a plant that has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to treat various ailments. Modern research has confirmed many of its traditional uses and revealed additional health benefits of this plant.
Traditionally, artichoke has been used to stimulate digestion and alleviate gastrointestinal disorders such as dyspepsia and bloating. Modern research has shown that artichoke contains compounds such as cynarin, chlorogenic acid, and flavonoids, which have choleretic and cholagogue effects, meaning they promote the production and secretion of bile from the liver and gallbladder. This can aid in digestion and help to relieve symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders.
