Cynara scolymus I. Artichoke
INDICATIONS
ACTION
Artichoke is a plant that thrives mainly in Southern Europe and North Africa. Artichoke flowers are a common cabbage, but the rest of the plant has excellent properties as a healing herb.
Two components, cynarin and scolimoside, have been shown to stimulate the secretion of bile, which is consistent with its traditional use in the treatment of liver failure and indigestion.
Cynarine has been shown to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood.
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted by scientists in Germany, it was found that artichoke extract administered for 6 weeks significantly reduced total cholesterol by 18.5% and LDL cholesterol by 22.9%.
No adverse effects related to the use of artichoke were observed. How artichoke lowers cholesterol is not fully understood. It is thought that it may indirectly interact with the same protein that statins interact with. It is called HMG CoA reductase and it has a very important role in the production of cholesterol.
It also has a strong antioxidant effect which helps reduce the oxidation of LDL cholesterol that causes atherosclerosis. Artichoke, like milk thistle, can protect the liver from the harmful effects of alcohol while at the same time helping to assimilate fatty foods.
Taraxacum officinale
Taraxaco
INDICATIONS
ACTION
The humble dandelion is one of nature's greatest medicines. Its root is a mild acid tonic laxative, valuable for indigestion. It stimulates the liver and gallbladder, which is mainly due to the presence of taraxacin and drastically increases the flow of bile. It is useful for any liver disease and for jaundice.
The leaves of the plant are powerful diuretics. However, unlike conventional diuretics, dandelion does not "drain" potassium from the body, since the abundant potassium it contains replaces the body's losses. Its use is recommended preventively twice a year (spring and autumn)
Peumus boldus MOL.
Boldo
INDICATIONS
ACTION
Boldo is a special remedy for gallbladder problems such as gallstones and inflammations.
It is also used when there is pain in the viscera due to liver or gall bladder problems.
