Artichoke is a great all-round digestive aid. It has a mild 'bitter' (appetite increasing) effect coupled with a specific action on the liver. It increases bile production and therefore aids the digestion of fats.
Human studies have shown that it reduces colic and flatulence and other symptoms of indigestion/irritable bowel.
By aiding the digestion of fat this herb also helps to maintain normal cholesterol levels.
If you have gallstones consult a herbalist before using artichoke.
Combines well with dandelion, gentian.
