May 16, 2008, Newsletter Issue #215: Artichoke - Therapeutic Uses

Tip of the Week

There are some studies that show artichoke can reduce
blood fats. Other studies have shown just the opposite,
however. Experiments with animals have shown certain
artichoke properties help to detoxify the liver and
kidneys, and can stimulate bile secretion from the
gallbladder.

Good results when used for indigestion, poor appetite,
and gallbladder troubles.

Also has been used to treat blood clotting, constipation,
gas, high cholesterol/triglicerides, high uric acid,
inflammation, kidney and liver problems, nausea, and
water retention.

Folklore uses include anemia, arthritis, gout, itching,
and even snakebite!
