In Europe, artichoke has been used as a herbal medicine to treat indigestion. Artichoke extract is used to treat digestive diseases including abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, etc.

Artichoke leaf extract, especially the flavonoids therein, can regulate the gene expression of NO enzyme in human epithelial cells, promote the synthesis of NO, and thus prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.
