Artichoke

Studies show that Artichoke reduces blood levels of both cholesterol and triglycerides. It also appears to improve liver function by increasing bile production and prevent the formation of gall stones. It may be useful in the treatment of atherosclerosis.

Recommended for:

  • High blood cholesterol and triglycerides
  • Atherosclerosis
  • Prevention of gall stone formation
  • Liver function

Precautions

Artichoke is generally regarded as non-toxic. It should be used with caution in cases of biliary obstruction. It has been reported that Artichoke may hinder lactation.
