The Suhanjana tree, often called the “miracle tree,” has shown anti-cancer properties in various studies. But what is it about this tree and its pods that fight cancer cells?
Here are a few points to consider.
The leaves, seeds, and roots of Suhanjana contain the following powerful compounds:
- Isothiocyanates: This compound found in the Suhanjana tree is known for its anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying effects.
- Flavonoids and Polyphenols: These antioxidants protect cells from oxidative stress and may help prevent the growth of cancer cells.
- Glucosinolates: These sulfur-containing compounds stimulate the process of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells.
In laboratory studies, Suhanjana extract has been shown to stimulate apoptosis in several cancer cells, including breast, lung, colon, and pancreatic cancers. In addition, this tree can also prevent the formation of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow.
