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.Antioxidant Supplements
Antioxidants are one kind of molecules, helping to neutralize harmful free radicals which can accelerate cellular oxidation. They provide an important and solid defense against the diseases caused by oxidative stress, such as cancer, heart disease, decline in brain function, immune system and aging. Because antioxidants are capable of stabilizing or deactivating the free radicals from oxidation reactions before they attack cells.
