There are many botanicals that have been used for support and treatment of various cancers. Many of these remedies are used in other countries , and not in the United States
Mimosa pudica is one-of-a-kind. It could support your wellness in many ways. it has a long history of use in ayurvedic medicine and a common herb in India. For example, the plant has traditionally been used for diarrhea, sinus issues, and hair loss. I have seen it used in treatment of parasitic illnesses and used to support patients with breast cancer. Mimosa pudica is no exception when it comes to its use in the treatment of cancer, . Scientists have identified that it contains at least eight different phytochemicals with anti-cancer properties.
There are many types of phytochemicals. One subgroup is flavonoids. A lab study found that flavonoids extracted from Mimosa pudica inhibited the growth of breast cancer cells.
Myricetin is one anti-cancer flavonoid in Mimosa pudica. Lab research suggests myricetin may suppress both human lung cancer and leukemia cells. Animal tests also suggest the compound may have anti-cancer effects in liver and kidney cells.
I would like to see more research done with this herb
