Matricaria recutita, Cynara scolymus, Bloating prevention, Digestion enhancement.Abstract
The review explores the use of Matricaria recutita (Chamomile) and Cynara scolymus (Artichoke) in enhancing digestion and preventing bloating. It covers the mechanism of digestion, from ingestion to nutrient absorption, and the role of herbs in alleviating digestive discomfort. The review also addresses the causes and symptoms of bloating, highlighting the therapeutic properties of these herbs, including their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and gastroprotective effects. By focusing on natural remedies, it provides insight into managing bloating and improving overall digestive health.
