Natur Boutique : Organic Artichoke Tea

Natur Boutique's Artichoke Tea helps to soothe a troubled digestive system. Artichokes have been eaten on the continent for decades for their beneficial effects on the digestive system, but recent research has now supported this traditional use and its popularity for helping soothe troubled tummies has spread further afield. Natur Boutique's artichoke tea is the leading brand in the UK and was the first to be launched.

Taste: Similar to an earthy green tea.

Directions: Drink two cups a day for its benefits, but as many as you like for the taste!

For centuries, artichokes have been consumed for their rich nutritional value.

A scientific review has highlighted artichoke extracts could provide a natural alternative for those with IBS.

The review looked at eight different alternative therapies for  IBS. The reviewers referenced three separate artichoke  studies.

• In one study, of 208 IBS suffers, a reduction in IBS occurrence of 26.4% was observed, when using artichoke leaf extract, and a 20% improvement in the  ‘quality of life score’ was reported.
• In another, researchers looked at a naturally occurring chemical found in artichoke leaves, called cynaropicrin, and its potential antispasmodic benefits (an ability to  help with smooth muscle spasms) in small intestine  tissue.
• Perhaps most significant was a study in which 96% of people taking artichoke leaf extract, in a group of 279 people, described it as equal to or better than their  current treatments.
