Cynara Scolymus – Artichoke

The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts of the plant, Cynara scolymus L. N.O. Compositae.

The main indications are:

Tonic. Resolvent. Diuretic. Contains an enzyme, which converts insulin into levu- lose. Deep-acting, effective liver remedy, also in cirrhosis and jaundice, oedema, sciatica, and to stimulate the detoxifying function of the liver.

Although the consumption of artichokes is without question beneficial to the liver function, and lower potencies undoubtedly work effectively, the author has found the medium and higher potencies to do very good work.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Cynara scolymus, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for cynara scolymus: chronic hepatobiliary diseases.
