How does artichoke tea differ from other herbal teas for digestion? — Artichoke, grass 25 gr LekraSet (lat. Cynara)

Most herbal teas ‘for digestion’ contain blends of several plants — mint, fennel, chamomile, ginger and others. Their action is aimed primarily at relieving cramps, bloating or intestinal discomfort.

Artichoke works differently: its main traditional use is associated with bile flow and the processing of fats, not with intestinal cramps. That is why it is more often chosen with a fatty or heavy diet (according to the label, 30 minutes before meals) rather than for bloating or flatulence.

LEKRASET Artišokk is a single-ingredient product: the pack contains only artichoke, with no other herbs. This is convenient if you want to get to know the effect of artichoke on its own, without the influence of other ingredients, or if you are sensitive to certain herbs used in blends.

Artichoke tastes noticeably more bitter than most popular herbal teas — this is its characteristic feature, not a flaw. If you generally find a bitter taste unpleasant, bear this in mind when choosing.
