The term cholagogue defines a substance that stimulates the elimination of bile from the bladder and extrahepatic bile ducts into the duodenum. The name comes from the Greek terms chole (bile) and agein (to do).
There are several plants with choleretic action and cholagogue effect, which contribute to the contraction of the gallbladder and the elimination of bile into the duodenum: artichoke, milfoil, dandelion, or celandine.
