According to Healthline and the Journal of Medicinal Food, artichoke tea is considered a top liver-supporting drink. Artichokes are rich in cynarin and silymarin - two antioxidants that can stimulate bile secretion, enhance liver function and promote the removal of toxins through the digestive tract.
Many studies show that drinking artichoke tea regularly can reduce liver enzymes, support liver cell regeneration and prevent fatty liver disease. In particular, drinking a cup of warm tea in the evening helps the liver "starter up" better during the detoxification period at night, while bringing a feeling of relaxation and ease of sleep.
Experts recommend drinking a cup of warm artichoke tea about 30 minutes before bed. However, do not overuse (over 2-3 cups/day) as it can cause bloating or electrolyte imbalance. People with gallbladder disease or pregnant women should consult a doctor before using.
Maintaining the habit of drinking artichoke tea combined with a healthy diet will help the liver to be healthy, enhance detoxification and protect the body from many related diseases.
