Bitter (Garcinia) kola
Bitter (Garcinia) kola, is a natural compound (dimeric flavonoid) for treating bad breath, glaucoma, liver disorder, erectile dysfunction, arthritis and sore throat.
Scientists have found strong evidences suggesting that bitter kola nut or extracts holds promise for treatment of glaucoma, a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve and can result in serious vision loss over time.
"Garcinia kola (Bitter Kola, a name sometimes also used for G. afzelii) is a species of flowering plant in the Clusiaceae family. It is found in West Africa. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests."
It is traditionally used to treat illness by African medicine men. Trials on the plant have shown promising signs that it may benefit Ebola victims by slowing down multiplication of the virus, giving the victim's body more time to develop a proper autoimmune response. The active compound responsible for its curing properties is a dimeric flavonoid, much like those found in orange and lemon rinds, so even if this particular plant cannot cure Ebola on its own, it provides the foundation from which scientists can discover a cure. The studies, if successful, could spill over to other types of antiviral treatment.
Bitter kola nut water extract holds promise for the treatment of glaucoma. It is able to correct abnormal constriction of the pupil of the eye.
It is a safe and effective substance in the control of open angle glaucoma, the commonest type of glaucoma that affects Africans and African Americans.
Most findings concludes that its consumption also showed the same effects on the intraocular pressure in the eye, after 45 minutes of its ingestion, in a dose dependent manner. Ingestion of bitter kola nuts produced a decrease in the pupil size and a drop in the intraocular pressure, thus improving vision and intraocular eye pressure.
In 2004, the Nigerian Quarterly Journal of Hospital Medicine researchers documented the usefulness of bitter kola nut water extract to treat viral eyes such as conjunctivitis, which is commonly referred to as Apollo in Africa.
Bitter kola, exhibits very potent pharmacological activities in these area:
Antioxidant,
Antibacterial
Antiviral,
Anti-fungal
Anti-inflammatory
Cough
Aphrodisiac
The anti-oxidant property of Bitter Kola is attributed to its very high content of ascorbic acid.
ACTION:
Bitter kola nut has been found useful in the treatment of the followings:
1. Glaucoma.
2. Head and chest cold.
3. Colic: When crying lasts longer than about three hours a day and is not caused by a medical problem (such as a hernia or infection), it is called colic
4. It improves singing voices through soothing effect on vocal cords.
5. It relieves coughs and hoarseness of voice.
6. It is used for treatment sore throat.
7. It is also chewed as an aphrodisiac.
8. You can chew its to clean the mouth of germs that causes bad breath.
9. It is used for treatment of cuts.
10. It is used for treatment of fatigue or can be used as a substitute coffee.
11. It is used for treatment of parasitic skin diseases when applied directly as a wound dressing.It is used for the treatment of dysentery and diarrhea. It is used for stoppage of bleeding after childbirth and infections of the urinary tract.
12. For preventing arthritis
13. For treatment of liver disorder by protection of the hepatic parenchyma, and by way of its potent antioxidant properties. It neutralizes all kind of toxins and poisons from food, water, air and medications. Bitter kola improves the functional efficiency of the liver
14. Also, It is used as a possible substitute for hop (Humulus lupulus L.) in the beer industry.
Main Ingredients:
xanthones, biflavonoids, alkaloids, phenols, tannins and saponins.
