Liquorice for Colon Cancer
the weekend in our special herbal digestive we played among others with liquorice stands out from the others. This plant has a long tradition of using medicinal plants and their benefits are many and varied, and often take place so often in our articles.
In this case we speak of cancer, specifically colon cancer, as a group of researchers from the School of Medicine, Vanderbilt University in Nashville have associated the use of licorice with the prevention of cancer.
Licorice inhibits the activity of the enzyme 11-beta-HSD2, which in turn blocks the activity of COX-2 protein, which is achieved by preventing the development of tumors and in turn inhibit their growth and metastasis, the least in experimental models of colorectal cancer with those who worked the researchers.
In fact, researchers have shown that the use of this medicinal plant has no side effects in the arteries or any part of the circulatory system, which it can occur with the implementation of conventional anti-inflammatory drugs commonly used for the prevention of this cancer.
As explained Paul Stewart and Stephen Prescott, researchers discussed the research, it is a very important research by providing a very effective alternative treatment for colorectal cancer treatment.
