Related Applications
Antibacterial and Anti-inflammatory
Antibiotics are medicines that kill microorganisms and cure bacterial infections. Conventional medicine has produced a number of antibiotics, which doctors prescribe for a variety of infectious conditions. There are also several herbs used as natural antibiotics that are considered antibacterial or antimicrobial. Some medicines not only have an anesthetization function but also have the ability to decrease swelling, alleviate pain, resist bacteria, diminish inflammation, disinfect and sterilize. Herbal extract possesses these activities with lower toxicities.Antineoplastic
Each year, more and more people are getting cancer, especially lung and liver cancer. However, there are not enough good anti-cancer drugs. Fortunately, many herbal extracts have good antineoplastic activity. A plant-based diet can help shield you from cancer because plants are rich in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant substances that help us withstand exposure to ultraviolet radiation, air pollution and other noxious substances.Anti-hyperlipidemic
In some people, cholesterol levels in blood become too high. This is called high cholesterol or hyperlipidemia. High levels of LDL cholesterol (Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) are considered a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease such as heart attack and stroke. There are several classes of hypolipidemic drugs. Many herbal extracts can be of great benefit to adjusting the lipid levels of blood.
