Cinnamon may be the best wholefood medicine for the prevention, management, and treatment of cervical cancer, some scientists suggested.
Cervical cancer is a chronic and medical condition characterized by irregular and disorder cells growth in the cervical tissue. In the beginning, cancer starts in the cell of the cervical lining. After completely colonizing the cervix, malignant cells may travel a distance away through lymph and blood to infect other healthy tissue and organs.
According to the statistic, every year approximately, over 13,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer.
Although the incidence rates for the disease dropped by 50% between 1975 and 2014 due to an increase in screening, cervical cancer still causes over 4,170 deaths this year.
The 5 years survival rate for women diagnosed in the early stage of invasive cervical cancer is 92%. However, in the advanced stage, when cervical cancer has spread to a distant part of the body, the 5-year survival rate is 17%.
The exact causes of cervical cancer are unknown, However, infected by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection due to having sex with men who carry the virus is a major cause of the disease.
Furthermore, women who have many sexual partners, are smoking, use birth control pills (oral contraceptives) for the long-term and engaging in early sexual contact are associated with the increased risk of cervical cancer.
Women, in the early stage of cervical cancer, may not experience any symptoms. If you are having persistent symptoms of abnormal vaginal bleeding, increased vaginal discharge, bleeding after menopause and severe pain during sex and pelvic pain, please check with your doctor to rule out the possibility of cervical cancer.
Cinnamon is a spice derived from the inner bark of a tree, native to South East Asia, of over 300 species of the genus Cinnamomum, belonging to the family Lauraceae.
The spicy herb has been used in herbal and traditional medicine as an anti-fungal and bacteria level, to improve the reproductive organ, prevent flatulence and intestinal cramping, and to treat indigestion, diarrhea, bad breath, headache, migraine, etc.
According to the Manipal University, Eugenol, a potential chemopreventive agent, one of the components of cinnamon possesses antiseptic, analgesic, antibacterial, and anticancer properties in the expression of apoptosis and inflammation against cervical cancer cell lines.
In SiHa cancer cell line, established from cancerous tissues of the cervix uteri, methanol extracts of Gymnema sylvestre (GS) leave and Cinnamomum zeylanicum (CZ) bark exhibited dose-dependent cytotoxicity in inducing apoptosis.
Other researchers suggested that the effects of cinnamon against tumor activity, particularly in cervical cancer cell line SiHa may be the result in the reduced number of colonies, the risk of migration potential through down-regulated normal physiological processes.
Dr. Kwon HK, the lead researcher at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, insisted, Cinnamomum cassia bark,.. containing several active components such as essential oils, expressed anti-tumor effect via enhanced pro-apoptotic and inhibited pro-inflammatory activities, in vitro, and in vivo mouse melanoma model.
In fact, the potential anti-tumor effects of cinnamon may be due to the activities that suppress the cancer progression by increasing the levels of cytolytic molecules and functioning.
Although the whole herb medicine may be a potential agent for reduced risk and treatment of cervical cancer, oral use of cinnamon should be taken with care and only prescribed by a herbalist.
Additional data collection on large example size and multi-centers studies performed with human consumption of the whole food cinnamon during the course of the disease will be necessary to complete the picture of the spicy herb anti-cancer possibilities.
