• Egypte

An infusion to lighten up after meals

Cynara scolymus

*Naturally grown product

Under its large, green, veined leaves, the artichoke hides a plant of character, long appreciated in herbal medicine. When infused, its leaves offer a vegetal and frankly bitter cup, softened by a slight roundness at the finish. This herbal tea is traditionally chosen after heavy meals or during periods when digestion feels heavier and the body seeks to regain lightness.

Benefits

In herbal medicine, artichoke is traditionally used to support digestion and assist the natural functioning of the liver, especially in routines aimed at restoring dietary balance. Its bitterness plays a key role in its use, by stimulating digestive functions progressively and non-stimulantly.

• Contributes to digestive comfort after rich or heavy meals

• Supports the natural role of the liver during periods of dietary overload
