How Artichokes Help

The liver's main function is the metabolic transformation of nutrients from the food we eat. It also detoxifies certain poisons. An overstressed liver obviously cannot function properly, which among other things results in poor assimilation of nutrients and increased toxins in the blood. This will eventually adversely affect the entire body causing numerous ailments that are often only symptomatically treated. What is amazing are the numbers of people who abuse their livers and hence their bodies, think they eat well, yet are suffering from a form of malnutrition - a word one associates with poverty and third world countries.

From U.K The Guardian, Tuesday 3 March 2009
Cherry Chappell has compiled a vast compendium of traditional homemade remedies. Here is a selection of the best - some sound sensible, while many are bewildering.

One suggested treatment is "thinly-sliced garlic placed between the affected toes". An alternative treatment is calendula or pot marigold (Calendula officinalis). It has been used for centuries to treat various kinds of skin conditions, including burns, sunburn, inflammation, rashes, boils - as well as athlete's foot. Like garlic, it has anti-fungal properties, but it also has antiseptic and astringent qualities that can help in the healing process if the affected areas are particularly sore.
