Herbal Ginger, the Potential Anti-Septic Functional Remedy, Scientists Show

On seeking a natural therapy with no side effects, scientists may have found a kitchen pungent spice for the prevention and treatment of sepsis, according to studies.

Sepsis is a medical condition caused by the body over-response to infection by releasing a large number of chemicals into the bloodstream, leading to chemicals imbalance that can damage multiple organ systems.

Most common sites of infection leading to sepsis are found in older patients with the lungs, urinary tract, tummy (abdomen) and pelvis.

The causes of sepsis, in most cases, are involved in people with a weakened immune system or a severe infection that allow the inflammation to spread to the entire body.

Sepsis can be life-threatening due to the interruption of blood flow to the body caused by inflammation in the induction of blood vessel constriction.

The risk factors of sepsis include any medical conditions which can lead to a weakened immune system, such as AIDs and chemotherapy, the very young (immature immune system) and old (weakened immune system due to aging), pregnancy and diabetes.

Most common symptoms of sepsis are associated with symptoms of reduced blood flow, including, a decrease in mental ability, problems breathing. abnormal heart functions, fall blood pressure, fall in body temperature. unconsciousness.

If your child or yourself experience some of the above symptoms, please call the emergency services right the way.

Some researchers suggested that people who are obese may have a negative implication on the immune system in fighting against infection that can cause sepsis.

Dr. A S Kolyva, the lead scientists said, "Sepsis is one of the most important causes of mortality in the developed world, where almost two-thirds of the population suffer from obesity".

And, "Obesity is associated with elevated TNFα adipose tissue production and increased oxidative stress biomarkers, promoting the proinflammatory response in septic patients".

These results strongly suggested that obesity may induce overexpression of proinflammatory cytokines that not only initiates the onset of sepsis and also increases the potential negative impact on the outcome.


Ginger (Zingiber officinale) or ginger root, the second superfood used for thousands of years by mankind, is the genus Zingiber, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to Tamil.

The root has been used in traditional and Chinese medicine to treat dyspepsia, gastroparesis, constipation, edema, difficult urination, colic, etc.

With an aim to find a natural compound or food for the treatment of sepsis, researchers investigated the effects of a phenolic alkanone isolated from ginger in various pharmacological activities, including sepsis.

Injection of ginger exerted a modulatory effect on HMGB1-mediated septic responses and survival rate in a mouse model of sepsis.

The modulation of ginger was attributed to the suppression of the production of the inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6 and the activation of proteins associated with inflammation induced by HMGB.

High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a protein associated with the immune protective response by restoring the endothelial cells which line the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels integrity.

Furthermore, injection of ginger also inhibited HMGB1-mediated hyperpermeability and leukocyte migration in the initiation of inflammation in mice.

Moreover, in vivo, ginger inhibited the lymphopoiesis (CLP) in stimulating the production of the release of HMGB1, sepsis-related mortality, and tissue injury.

In order to reveal more information about ginger antisepsis activity, researchers examined zingerone (ZGR), a bioactive compound isolated from ginger on TGFBIp-mediated septic responses.

Similar to that of the above, ZGR reduced the TGFBIp-mediated severe inflammatory responses in human endothelial cells and mice.

Injection of ZGR suppressed TGFBIp-induced sepsis lethality and pulmonary injury.

Dr. Min G, the lead scientist, after taking into account co and confounders wrote in the final report, "ZGR could be a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of various severe vascular inflammatory diseases via inhibition of the TGFBIp signaling pathway".

Taken altogether, ginger may be considered a functional remedy for the treatment of sepsis, pending to the confirmation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Turmeric, the Natural Treatment for Metabolic Dysfunction with No Side Effects, Revealed by Scientists

Scientists may have found a kitchen spice which processes bioactive ingredients for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction with no side effects, according to studies.

Metabolism is a natural chemical process of organisms, including humans with an aim to sustain- life.

According to the purposes of the bioprocess, human metabolism can be classified into the process to convert food to energy by breaking down the carbohydrates, proteins, and fats to run cellular processes, and eliminate nitrogenous wastes.

Metabolic dysfunction is a condition caused by any interruption of the aforementioned processes.
In other words, metabolic dysfunction induces the production of excess or a reduced amount of substances needed to stay healthy.

A metabolic disorder can be caused by genetic proposition induced inborn errors of metabolism, or acquired by an individual in the lifetime

There are many risk factors associated with the onset of metabolic dysfunction depending on the types of disruption such as abnormal blood glucose metabolism induced type 2 diabetes.


Diseases associated with metabolic dysfunction can be moderate or severe depending on the organs involved, including liver or respiratory failure, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis), and HIV/AIDS.

Symptoms of metabolic dysfunction are varied among individuals depending totally to the types of disorder.

Some mild condition of metabolic dysfunction can be managed with only lifestyle change, others may require the long-term intake of certain medication accompanied by a healthy diet and moderate exercise such as diabetes.

Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.

The herb has been used in traditional medicine as anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.

With an aim to find a natural compound for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction, researchers examined the potential capacity of curcumin, contained in Curcuma longa extract (Biocurcuma™), in the attenuation of risperidone-induced metabolic dysfunction in an animal model.


The study involved 4 groups of mice were treated once a week, for 22 weeks with an intraperitoneal injection of risperidone (Risperdal) at a dose of 12.5 mpk.

One group of mice in the risperidone-treated group were fed a diet with 0.05% Biocurcuma™ (curcumin), one of the vehicle-treated group and two other groups received the standard diet.

Curcumin treatment group inhibited the risperidone effect in reducing spontaneous motricity (motor function) but failed to impede de risperidone-induced increase in food intake.


In other words, curcumin failed to reduced de risperidone-induced weight gain and steatosis.but decreased visceral adiposity stored within the abdominal cavity and decreased the risperidone-induced abnormal enlargement of the liver.

Furthermore, curcumin protected the liver enzymes associated with lipid and glucose metabolism against the overexpression in the induction of metabolic dysfunction by modulating the risperidone-induced glucose intolerance and hypertriglyceridemia.

Moreover, the curcumin treatment group also showed to reduce levels of markers of hepatotoxicity (ALAT, ASAT) and proinflammatory cytokines expression caused by risperidone (Risperdal).

Dr. Auger F, the lead scientist said, "These findings support that nutritional doses of curcumin contained in Curcuma longa extract are able to partially counteract the risperidone-induced metabolic dysfunction in mice".

The findings suggested that Curcuma longa extract inhibited metabolic dysfunction through a number of mechanisms involving adipocytes, pancreatic cells, hepatic stellate cells, macrophages, and muscle cells.

Taken altogether, turmeric and its bioactive compound curcumin may be considered functional remedies for the treatment of syndrome and diseases associated with metabolic dysfunction, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of turmeric in the form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Diallyl trisulfide (DATS), the Bioactive compound isolated from Garlic May Be A Potential Anti Skin Cancer Agent

Polysulfides isolated from the organosulfides may have a profound effect in reducing the risk and treatment of skin cancer, according to studies.

Skin, a large organ that forms the out layers of our body has serval layers of ectodermal tissue and protects the underlying muscles, bones, ligaments and internal organs against foreign pathogenic invasion.

Skin cancer is a medical conditionn characterized by disordered and irregular cell growth in the skin.


Most cases of primary skin cancer start in the cell on the surface of the inner ling of the skin. At the advanced stage, the cancerous cells can travel a distance away from the skin to infect other healthy tissue and organ through blood and fluid circulation.

There are 3 main types of cells in the top layer of the skin (called the epidermis):
Squamous cells, Basal cells, and Melanocytes.


Long-term cumulative sun exposure is one of the major cause of basal cell and squamous cell skin cancer. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the leading cause of melanoma.


Certain risk factors that make some people susceptible to the development of skin cancer than others, include the increase in age, weakened immune system, gender, skin tone, genetic preposition, and family history.

Some researchers also suggested that the general knowledge about the protection of skin against the onset of skin cancer is lacking, therefore, more education in this field may be necessary before the prevalence of skin cancer can be reduced.


Dr. Lee Wheless, the lead scientist in the concern of the association between skin characteristics and skin cancer prevention behaviors said, "Behaviors such as sunscreen use and wearing sun-protective clothing are thought to prevent certain types of skin cancer and precancerous lesions".


However, "The overall prevalence of prevention behaviors was low. Those with phenotypic risk factors for skin cancer were most likely to use sunscreen and sun-protective clothing. Those with high-risk skin cancer phenotypes may also be those who are most receptive to skin cancer prevention educational interventions".

Polysulfides are phytochemicals in a class of chemical compounds containing chains of sulfur atoms, belonging to the group of Organosulfides found abundantly in the oxidized product, including beer, wine, whiskey, garlic oil, etc.

In the concern of incidence of skin cancer which increases at an alarming rate, researchers at the National Taiwan University evaluated the anti-skin cancer activity of sulfur metabolites in garlic oil.
Diallyl trisulfide (DATS), a member of polysulfides was found to be more potent than mono- and disulfides against skin cancer.

Injection of DATS inhibited cell growth of human melanoma A375 and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) cells by increasing the cytotoxicity of the reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Furthermore, DATS also induced apoptosis of skin cancer cells through inducing the DNA damage and through cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress associated with the cancer cells proliferation and survival, and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis.

These results indicated the importance of DATS in the prevention and treatment of skin cancer by focusing on molecular mechanisms.

Furthermore, in the depth analysis of the effects of Diallyl sulfide (DAS), diallyl disulfide (DADS), and diallyl trisulfide (DATS), extracts from crushed garlic by steam-distillation against human melanoma A375 cells and basal cell carcinoma cells, researchers showed that DATS reveals better growth inhibition of A375 and BCC cells than DADS and DAS do.

Similar to the previous study, DATS increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in the induction of cytotoxicity to the tested cancer cell lines.
The cell viability analysis reconfirmed the previous finding that DATS kills tested cancer cells in G(2)/M arrest.

Interestingly, DATS activated the p53 pathway in response to the oxidative DNA damage.
Where p53 is a protein associated with the regulation of the cell cycle and function as a tumor suppression.

Dr. Wang HC, the lead scientist wrote in the final report of the experiment, "DATS also displayed a selective target of growth inhibition between skin cancer cells and normal keratinocyte HaCaT cells".

Taken altogether, Diallyl trisulfide (DATS) a bioactive compound from garlic may be used for the prevention and treatment of skin cancer, pending to reconfirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal chamomile in the Prevention and Treatment of Anxiety Disorders

Herbal Chamomile may have a potential effect in reducing risk and treatment of anxiety disorder, according to studies.

Anxiety disorders are a group of mental illnesses characterized by symptoms of excessive anxiety, fear, worry, avoidance, and compulsive rituals. The condition is more commonly in women than in men.

Some researchers suggested that anxiety disorders are conditions associated with the combination of biological, psychological, and individual factors and the most commonly reported psychiatric conditions and frequently occur as comorbid disorders.

According to the statistic, anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the age of 18 and older, or 18.1% of the population every year.

The exact causes of anxiety disorders are debatable. However, a family history of anxiety recent or prolonged exposure to stress, excessive consumption of stimulants such as caffeine or tobacco is associated with the onset of the disorders.

The symptoms of anxiety disorders can be psychological or physical, including difficulty concentrating and sleeping, irritability, persistent stomachaches or diarrhea, sweaty palms, shaking and rapid heartbeat.

If you experience some of the above symptoms, please make sure you check with your doctor to rule out the possibility.

Dr. Lykouras L, the lead scientist in the investigation of the connection between body weight and anxiety disorders wrote, "Obesity has been associated with anxiety disorders as follows: most of the studies show a positive relationship with panic disorder, mainly in women, with specific phobia and social phobia" and "Some authors have found a relationship with generalized anxiety disorder but a negative relationship has been also reported".

The results clearly indicated if you are obese, your risk of anxiety disorders is increased substantially compared to normal weight people.

Chamomile is also known as camomile, the common name of many species daisy-like plants in the family Asteraceae. The herb has been used in traditional medicine as antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory constituents and for the treatment of menstrual cramps and sleep disorders, reduce cramping and spastic pain in the bowels, relieve excessive gas and bloating in the intestine, etc.


In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled efficacy and tolerability trial of Matricaria recutita (chamomile) extract on generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) showed to effective of modest anxiolytic activity with patient mild to moderate GAD(1). The University of Ottawa study on the effects of Matricaria recutita (German chamomile) and Humulus lupulus (hops) showed significant activity in the inhibition of GAD at doses of 0.11-0.65 mg/mL(2).

The study containing 57 participants in the 2009 trial, 19 had anxiety with comorbid depression; 16 had anxiety with a past history of depression, and 22 had anxiety with no current or past depression, chamomile showed a clinically meaningful antidepressant activity to its previously observed anxiolytic activity(3).

Apigenin, a component of Matricaria recutita flowers, in mice study, exerted its anxiolytic and slight sedative effects through the central benzodiazepine receptors(4).

Researchers at the University Science Center on finding a treatment of anxiety disorder examined the effects of chamomile extract therapy in patients with mild to moderate generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) on a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled efficacy and tolerability trial.

In a total of 63 outpatients with mild to moderate GAD enrolled, 57 were randomized to either double-blind chamomile extract (n = 28) or placebo therapy (n = 29) for 8 weeks.

Chamomile treated group exerted a significantly greater reduction in mean total HAM-A score compared to the placebo.

Furthermore, besides the better primary outcomes, chamomile group also demonstrated a positive change in all secondary outcomes in the reduction of anxiety symptoms.

Mild and tolerated adverse events or more was not significantly different between groups.

The findings clearly suggested herbal chamomile extract processes a modest anxiolytic activity in patients with mild to moderate GAD.

Moreover, in the evaluation of the chamomile effect on gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) which is a neurotransmitter that blocks impulses between nerve cells in the brain researchers compared the herbal plants which were used in the traditional medicine for the treatment of anxiety disorders.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter has been found to initiate the risk of anxiety or mood disorders in low levels

In vitro rat brain homogenate assays, compared to other herbal plants such as Melissa officinalis, Centella asiatica (Gotu Kola) and Valeriana officinalis (Valerian), chamomile showed significant inhibition of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) activity (0.11-0.65 mg/mL).

These results strongly suggested that the failure of the interaction of members in the GAGA system caused by dysfunction was attributed to the onset of anxiety disorders.
Additionally, in participants with symptoms of comorbid anxiety and depression, according to the generalized estimating equations analysis to identify clinically meaningful changes over time in scores from the Hamilton Depression Rating (HAM-D) questionnaire among treatment groups, Chamomile group displays a significantly greater reduction over time in total HAM-D scores compared to placebo.

Also, the HAM-D core mood item scores, application of chamomile also showed a significantly greater reduction over time vs placebo in all participants, regardless of the current or past depression.

Taken altogether, herbal chamomile may be considered a functional remedy for the prevention of anxiety disorders in higher risk population and combined with primary medicine for the treatment of anxiety diseases with tolerated adverse effects.

Herbal Cascara Sagrada, the Best for the Prevention and Treatment of Mastitis and Lactation Mastitis, According to Studies

Herbal Cascara sagrada processed bioactive compounds emodin and aloin may have a strong inhibited effect against the onset of mastitis according to studies.

Mastitis is an inflammation of breast tissue, affecting mostly the mothers who are breastfeeding.
Most cases of mastitis are caused by a bacterial infection such as Staphylococcus aureus.

Most common risk factors of lactation mastitis are blocked duct(s) and restriction from a tight bra, attachment difficulties, and nipple pain during a feed were the significant predictors for mastitis in the first time breastfeeding mothers, according to the Journal of Human Lactation

Most common symptoms of mastitis are breast pain, swelling, warmth, and redness. Some patients may also experience symptoms of fever and chills.

Most cases of mastitis are treated with antibiotics, the medicine may be effective but it has found epidemiologically to induce some side effects.


If you are currently taking one of them, please make sure you know all the side effect for preventive measure.


According to the study of 946 breastfeeding women from Michigan and Nebraska for the first 3 months postpartum or until they stopped breastfeeding to describe mastitis incidence, mastitis treatment, and any associations between mastitis occurrence and hypothesized host characteristics and behaviors.researchers found that mastitis is a very common condition in lactation women.


Telephone interviewed by at 3, 6, 9, and 12 weeks postpartum or until they ceased breastfeeding, a total of 9.5% reported provider-diagnosed lactation mastitis at least once during the 12-week period, with 64% diagnosed via telephone.

Cascara sagrada is a species of buckthorn, genus Rhamnus, belonging to the family Rhamnaceae, native to western North America, it's bark has been used in traditional medicine for gastrointestinal support. and it is thought to have a laxative and natural cleansing, etc., effect.

Besides the main compound of anthraquinones, other compounds include anthraquinone glycosides, (emodin, frangulin, iso-emodin, aloe-emodin, and chrysophanol), rhein, aloin, malic acid, tannic acid, cascarosides A, B, C, and D, and hydroxy anthracene derivatives (HAD), etc.

Researchers on finding herbal medicine for the treatment of mastitis examined the Emodin, the major active compound of herbal Cascara Sagrada and Chinese herb Radix et Rhizoma Rhei effect on mastitis.

The mouse model of mastitis was induced by injection of LPS through the duct of the mammary gland. Pretreatment of emodin intraperitoneally with the dose of 1, 2, and 4 mg/kg respectively 1h before and 12h after induction of LPS showed a significant reduction of levels of proinflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress makers and neutrophils, a type of white blood cell.

Emodin influenced nuclear factor kappa-B signal transduction pathway, a protein associated with the controls of transcription of DNA, cytokine production and cell survival. by inhibiting activation of (nuclear transcription factor-kappaB (NF-κB) p65 involved) a protein complex involved the immune response and (degradation inhibitor of NF-κB α (IκBα), and degradation of the cellular response to inflammation.


Furthermore, the efficacy of emodin also attributed to the activation of the signaling pathways associated with the cellular responses to environmental stress and stimuli and the production of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines.

Researcher wrote in the conclusion of the study, "Emodin could exert beneficial effects on experimental mastitis induced by LPS and may represent a novel treatment strategy for mastitis".


Moreover, in order to investigate the effects of herbal Cascara Sagrada and (Mastitis), researchers examined the herbal Cascara Sagrada and (Mastitis) therapeutic potential photogenically derived aloin, another major compound of the herb, mediated nanosilver particles (AAgNPs), prepared by reduction of silver nitrate with aloin, in Staphylococcus aureus-induced murine mastitis.

The study included a total of 40 female mice divided into five groups of eight animals each.
* Group I served as lactating control,

* Groups II-V inoculated with 20 μl of 24 h broth culture of S. aureus containing 4.0 × 105 cfu/quarter under ketamine anesthesia. After 6 h post inoculation, and

* Groups III and IV received 20 μl of aloin nanosilver (AAgNPs) through intramammary and intraperitoneal routes, respectively.

* Group V received antibiotic cefepime at 1 mg/kg body weight through the intraperitoneal route.


After 18 hours of post-treatment, injection of the compound showed a minimum inhibitory concentration of 21.8 ng/ml against S. aureus.

Nanosilver particles (AAgNPs) showed a significant reduction of 98% of the poly-morpho nuclear cell, a category of white blood cells in the mediation of the phase of inflammation, compared to only 50% in an antibiotic.

Taken altogether, herbal Cascara Sagrada processed abundantly bioactive compounds emodin and aloin may be considered a functional remedy for the prevention and combined with primary medicine for the treatment of mastitis.

Ginger, the Anti Cervical Cancer Functional Remedy, According to Studies

Scientists may have found a natural and pungent spice for the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer, according to the studies.

Cervical cancer is a medical condition characterized by cell growth disorderly and uncontrollably in the cervix tissue.

According to the statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, in 2018, approximately, 13,240 new cases of invasive cervical cancer were diagnosed. The disease causes the death of 4,170 women in the same year.

The 5-year survival rate for women with invasive cervical cancer is 92% if the cancer is detected at an early stage. About 46% of women with cervical cancer are diagnosed at an early stage.
Most cases of cervical cancer are detected during the annual physical exam during the Pap test.

The exact cause of cervical cancer is due to the alternation of the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the cervical tissue. Researchers do not know, Why? some women are more susceptible to the onset of cervical cancer while others do not, even they have the same health conditions and family history in the same family.

However, researchers do know that certain risk factors such as human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, the increase in age, herpes infection, smoking are associated with the onset of cervical cancer.

Ethnicity also plays a critical role in cervical cancer, the American Cancer society wrote, "In the United States, Hispanic women are most likely to get cervical cancer, followed by African-Americans, Asians, and Pacific Islanders, and whites. American Indians and Alaskan natives have the lowest risk of cervical cancer in this country".

Furthermore, some researchers suggested that oral sex which refers to sexual activities involving the stimulation of the genitalia by the use of the mouth, tongue, teeth, or throat also have a strong linkage to cervical cancer. Dr. Rajiv Saini examined the link between oral sex and cervical cancer wrote, "Current research suggests that oral sex may transmit human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus implicated in the majority of cervical cancers. HPV is ubiquitous, with 120 strains isolated from human beings, about 40 of which are in the mouth and genital tracts".

Researchers on finding a natural compound for the treatment of cervical cancer examined the antitumor activities of 6-Gingerol, a potent nutraceutical isolated from the ginger on human cervical cancer (HeLa) cell lines with or without wortmannin, rapamycin, and cisplatin.

Injection of 6-Gingerol showed dose-dependent cytotoxicity on human cervical cancer (HeLa) cell lines.

Combinations of 6-gingerol with wortmannin and cisplatin showed additive effects, while with rapamycin, it showed 50% cytotoxicity that was equivalent to IC50 of 6-gingerol alone.

Treatment with 6-gingerol resulted in G2-phase arrest in HeLa cells. 6-Gingerol, wortmannin, and rapamycin treatment showed almost two-fold higher expression of a pro-apoptotic protein in the tested cell line.


The finding strongly suggested that 6-gingerol may be a safe and potent chemotherapeutic/chemopreventive compound acting through cell cycle arrest and induction of apoptosis in cervical tumor cells.

In order to reveal more information of ginger anti-cervical cancer properties, researchers examined the polyphenolic alkanone, 6-Gingerol (6G), presented in the pungent extracts of ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) anti-tumorigenic and pro-apoptotic activities against cervical cancer.



In vivo. 6G potently inhibited proliferation of the HPV positive cervical cancer cells.

Additionally, 6G was found to inhibit the chymotrypsin activity associated with the induced degradation of tumor suppressor proteins, reactivate the gene involved regulating cell cycle and tumor suppression and suppress the protein involved a cellular response to cytokines, chemokines, stimuli.


More interestingly, injection 6G also expressed an inhibitory activity against cervical cancer cell lines through inducing DNA damage of the tumor cell and G2/M cell cycle arrest and potentiate the cytotoxicity of cisplatin.

6G treatment induced a significant reduction of tumor volume, tumor weight, inhibition of proteasome that breaks down protein and tumor suppressive gene accumulation in HeLa xenograft tumor cells in vivo.

Dr. Rastogi N and colleagues said, " our data underscore the therapeutic and chemosensitizing effects of 6G in the management and treatment of cervical cancer".

Taken altogether, ginger with abundantly bioactive compound 6-gingerol may be considered a functional remedy for the prevention and combined with primary medicine for the treatment of cervical cancer, pending to the confirmation of large sample size and multicenter human study.

Honey, the Best Remedy for the treatment of Asthma with No Side Effects

Asthma is a chronic inflammation of the airway of the lung with recurring symptoms. Asthma, attacks triggered by the stimuli can induce airway swollen and inflamed, leading to muscle constriction.

During the asthma attacks, patients may experience symptoms of difficult breathing, and severe wheezing in the breath and coughs that won't stop.

According to the statistic provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 13 people in the US has asthma.

In other words, more than 26 million Americans have asthma, with half of the patients are children.

If you experience symptoms of a cough which often worse at night or early in the morning, wheezing in your breath, accompanied with chest tightness and shortness of breath, you may be at the early stage of asthma. Please check with your doctor to rule out the possibility.

Genetic and environmental factors are the most common risk factors associated with the onset of asthma. Some researchers suggested that the widespread obesity over the past few decades may also have a strong implication on the onset of the disease.

Dr. David A. Beuthe r, the lead scientist in the concern of the association of asthma and obesity said, "Cross-sectional and prospective cohort studies of humans have shown a modest overall increase in asthma incidence and prevalence in the obese, although body mass index does not appear to be a significant modifier of asthma severity".

And, "Studying the obesity-asthma relationship in large cohorts, in which self-reports are frequently used to ascertain the diagnosis of asthma, has been complicated by alterations in pulmonary physiology caused by obesity, which may lead to dyspnea or other respiratory symptoms but do not fulfill accepted physiologic criteria for asthma".

These results strongly suggested that if you are obese, your risk of asthma is increased substantially.

Honey is the miraculous product made by bees using nectar from flowers.

The rich golden liquid is considered one of healthy sweet food for replacing the use of white sugar and artificial sweetener by many people.

Scientists on finding a natural remedy for the treatment of asthma investigated the effect of aerosolized honey on airway tissues in a rabbit model of ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma.

The study included 40 New Zealand white rabbits sensitized twice with a mixture of OVA and aluminum hydroxide on days 1 and 14.


Honey treatments were given from day 23 to day 25 at two different doses (25% (v/v) and 50% (v/v) of honey diluted in sterile phosphate buffer saline.


During the study, aerosolized honey treatment group restored the epithelium, mucosa, and submucosal regions of the airway infected by the application of OVA.

Futhermore, aerosolized honey treatment also found to reduce the number of airway inflammatory cells presented in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and inhibit the goblet cell hyperplasia, an indication of airway remodeling in asthma.

The findings strongly suggested that aerosolized honey has a significant effect on the treatment and management of asthma in animal models.

Additional differentiation of the modulatory effect of honey, royal jelly, and propolis extract on peripheral blood leukocytes and lung inflammation in a mouse conalbumin-induced asthma model in mice model divided into* The mice in group I that were not sensitized or treated; they were kept as controls.

* The mice in group II that were sensitized and challenged with conalbumin. Twenty-four hours after the first challenge with antigen.

* The mice in group III received 0.5 mg/kg of dexamethasone intraperitoneally per day for 18 consecutive days and kept as positive controls.

* The mice in groups IV, V, and VI received 650, 1000, and 30 mg/kg of honey, royal jelly, and propolis (aqueous and ethanolic extract), respectively, once per day for 18 consecutive days.

At the end of the experiment, by comparing the blood sample before and after treatment, researchers showed
* The groups treated with propolis extract exhibited considerable ameliorative effects against asthma, probably due to the expression of flavonoids and phenolics that exert antioxidative effects.

* Honey- or royal jelly-treated groups exhibited an increased incidence of asthma cascade events due to increased inflammatory cells, probably due to the antagonist to bronchial asthma cases.


The results clearly indicated that not all honey is the same. Some can be used for asthma while others can not, probably due to types of chemicals compounds found in the pollen


Taken altogether, honey and other bee products may be considered functional remedies for the prevention and treatment of asthma, pending to the confirmation of the types of honey in a large and multicenter human study.
