Properties: The popular knowledge and the ancient and traditional use in Peru ascribe several properties, benefits and applications to the artichoke plant(some of which have been scientifically confirmed):

- Capacity to lower the human blood level of cholesterol, treat digestive diseases, as well as dyspepsia and renal insufficiency. Cynarin, its main active chemical compound, is responsible for its hypocholesterolemic activity (reported since 1970).

- Common use around the world against liver and gallbladder diseases. Artichoke is considered cholagogue, choleretic, and choliokinetic. Helps detoxify the liver by mobilizing spare fat from liver towards blood; this fat is subsequently excreted out of the body.

- It is also known that leaf artichoke extract has the ability to stimulate liver cell regeneration. - Considered a prebiotic, which means that artichoke is a food that promotes the development of colonic flora (demostrated in 1998). It is also effective in the treatment of irritable colon syndrome.
