The liver is an important organ that helps the body eliminate toxins, metabolize nutrients and maintain energy. However, due to eating habits, sedentary lifestyles and exposure to toxic substances, the liver is easily overloaded. One of the natural, safe and effective ways to support liver function is to use dried artichoke leaves - a herb known as "the best friend of liver leaves".
According to Healthline and Medical News Today, artichokes contain the active ingredient cynarin and silymarin, which can stimulate the liver to produce bile, helping to increase detoxification efficiency, while supporting the reduction of blood fat and protecting liver cells from damage caused by alcohol or fatty foods. Regularly drinking dried artichoke water also helps improve digestion, reduce the feeling of fullness of stomach, indigestion - common signs in people with weak liver.
The way to make dried artichokes is very simple. You just need to take about 1015g of dried artichoke leaves, steep with 300ml of boiling water for 1015 minutes. You can add a few slices of licorice or honey to enhance the flavor. You should drink it 1-2 times a day, especially in the morning or after main meals to support liver function more effectively.
Nutritionists recommend that in addition to using dried artichokes, you should combine a diet rich in green vegetables, fresh fruits, limit alcohol and fried foods to achieve optimal detoxification effect. Maintaining this habit not only helps the liver to be healthy but also improves the skin, reduces acne, and gives the body a feeling of relief and full of energy.
