The ginger a future treatments for diseases of the intestine

US researchers have devised a new and safe way to treat intestinal diseases by The ginger, which proved promising results in the treatment of "Crohn '' disease, which affects the intestines, and ulcerative colitis Disease, according to the website "The Huffington Post".

The researchers in the status of "Atlanta" Medical veterans in America said, they have succeeded in transforming the soft The ginger plant to "particles nanoscale derived from The ginger" is routed to the intestines to treat diseases rather than taken as a drink by mouth, and published their findings in the journal (Biomaterials) specialized in biological materials.

the research team explained his way to reach the "The ginger nanomedicine" cross-cut into very small pieces, and put it in the machine spins very quickly, and directed to ultrasonic waves turned it into fine particles, notify each grave, including 230 nm and "the nano is a unit of measurement of one billionth of a meter. "


When feeding mice particles of The ginger, first appeared they were not toxic, also achieved significant therapeutic effects, most notably that it effectively directed to influence the colon.

It was absorbed primarily by the cells lining the intestine where inflammation appears, also appeared that the particles reduced of severe colitis, and stopped its transformation to a chronic illness, also stopped the cancer associated with this type of  inflammation.


The researchers also found that The ginger nanoparticles enhanced the health of the intestinal lining, especially reform of tissues, has also reduced the secretion of proteins that help the inflammation and increased levels of other proteins struggling infections.

He said, "Deidre Marilyn", a research associate professor of medicine science biological in the University of "American Georgia", he believed that the nanoparticles of The ginger may become a good disease "Crohn's" treatment, which is a chronic inflammation that affects the intestinal disease and ulcerative colitis, the two most important diseases of inflammatory Intestine.


He added that the team tested the idea-oriented colon therapy directly, and testing as The ginger plant is non-toxic and cheap, as part of the the therapeutic effect of ginger comes as a result of high levels of natural fat in it.
