Carduus is a homeopathic combination primarily for gallbladder

conditions with secondary effects on the liver. It is used for acute,

sub-acute and chronic diseases of the liver and gallbladder with

emphasis on gallbladder conditions, constipation, stasis of the portal

vein, hemorrhoids, hepatopathy with constipation and difculty in fat

digestion.

effects and stimulates the blood ow in the portal vein.
