Anamu is an herb found in the Amazon rainforest and some tropical areas in the Caribbean and South America. Anamu can reach up to a meter in height and has dark green leaves having tall spikes. White flowers are found aligned in between these spikes.
Inhaling crushed anamu roots is said to cure sinusitis while infusion of the herb's leaves can cure flu. The leaves are also used as pain relievers for arthritis, open wounds and headache. Clinical experiments have confirmed anamu's use as a cure for arthritis due to the plant's anti-inflammatory ability.
Other studies on anamu also showed that the herb possesses a wide range of therapeutic properties which include anti-cancerous abilities against many types of cancer. Through an experiment in the 1990s, ethanol extract of anamu were discovered to hinder the mutation of leukemia cells and other kinds of cancer cells. Similar extracts were found to have cytotoxic properties which mean that aside from inhibiting tumor growth, they can also eliminate the cancer cells. This findings lead scientists to conclude that anamu can be used to treat leukemia and lymphoma cancers and can be an inhibitor for breast cancer. Moreover, anamu extracts were also able to destroy cancer cells on the initial stages of liver cancer. A separate research showed that the sulfur content of the herb is able to contain brain cancer cells.
Apart from its anti-inflammatory and anti-cancerous properties, anamu is also antimicrobial and immunostimulant. In mice test subjects, anamu extracts were able to induce production of new healthy cells. The plant also displayed antibacterial trait against common pathogens such as E.coli and Staphylococcus. The herb was also able to prevent growth of Shigella and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. After cancer treatments, patients are at their weakest and possess high risk in acquiring diseases. Not only can anamu aid in curing the cancer and preventing reoccurrences, but it also strengthens and protects the body during recovery from the disease.
Anamu doesn't pose negative effects when taken in at the same time with other drugs. However, some tests showed that anamu can cause uterine contractions in animals which may cause abortion and therefore may entail harm to pregnant women. Apart from this, there have been no other side effects of anamu noted. There are a few experiments claiming that extracts of anamu roots lead to the development of tumor in animal brains; but further studies have immediately dismissed these findings.
With its many health benefits, it's no longer a question why anamu is still one of the most commonly used herbal plants. These days, different countries are already using this plant in different ways. Traditional preparation for anamu treatment is usually done infusing dried anamu in water. Half cup of the infusion should be taken in daily.
Aside from the traditional preparation, anamu now comes in packs and tablets. In the United States, medical transcriptions for cancer patients already include anamu supplements. Anamu capsules are also already widely available worldwide. These capsules or tablets are suggested to be taken twice a day or more depending on the advice of your doctor or the product recommendation.
