Artichoke, from the Plant Cynara scolymus, is also called garden artichoke and globe artichoke. Medicinal parts include the flower heads, leaves and root.

The flower heads are commonly eaten as a vegetable, but extracts of the leaves and root are said to be helpful in preventing arteriosclerosis. Artichoke has also been used for jaundice, dyspepsia, liver insufficiency, chronic albuminuria, and postoperative anemia. In some countries, the artichoke is considered an aphrodisiac.

Artichokes contain 'cynarin' and 'scolymoside' which have been shown to stimulate bile production and secretion. This supports the traditional use of Artichoke for creating support for sluggish livers and digestive irregularities. 'Cynarin' creates support for lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. Artichokes also possess some diuretic activity, helping with kidney disease and protein in the urine.
