Known since ancient times, artichoke leaves are renowned for their purifying therapeutic properties. The artichoke (scientific name Cynara scolymos) seems to have been used by Greeks and Romans to determine the possible pregnancy status of women and to discover the sex of the unborn child. One of the most commonly used parts of the artichoke are the leaves. Inside them are contained many of the active principles of the artichoke and its properties.
The artichoke plant needs a climate that is not too cold to grow, but characterized by mild winters and hot summers. It prefers cool and organic-rich soils. It will be important to keep the soil moist and limit the growth of weeds.
The properties of the artichoke are so well-known that there is a continuous demand throughout the year. For this reason, many producers resort to toxic substances to increase production, at the expense of consumer health, but certainly not those from whom Terza Luna sources, which instead guarantee the traced origin of many of the herbs available online in the catalog. One of the most important active principles of the artichoke is cynarin, a substance with diuretic properties and extraordinary nutritive properties. Thanks to cynarin, it is recommended to use it in the form of artichoke herbal tea; in this way, it promotes bile secretion and improves diuresis. The properties of the artichoke are essential to promote a complete cleansing of the body.
