INTRODUCTION:
Prostate cancer develops in prostration, a gland in the male reproductive system that accumulates zinc and produces citrate. It surrounds the urethra and is associated with urinary tract dysfunction. A single mutation in the DNA of the cell bone leads to abnormal cell growth, which leads to cancer. Almost 5-10% of prostate cancers are due to hereditary DNA mutations. Obesity and increased levels of androgens effectively contribute to the efficient growth of prostate cells. This is the second deadly disease after lung cancer. About 10,000 people die each year due to illness. Treatments include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, which provide a number of side effects.
PROPERTIES OF OREGANO-GERB:
Herbs and spices are known for their antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer properties that inflame the idea of their use in treating various types of cancer. Origano ( Origanum vulgare ) is an important culinary herb used as a dietary supplement for its aromatic leaves. Chemical compounds, such as carvacrol, thymol, limonene, pinene, osimen and karyophillen, contribute to taste. Among these compounds, carvacrol plays an important role in the treatment of cancer. Oregano is rich in vitamin K and fiber.
IMPORTANCE OF CARVACROL:
Carvacrol, phenol with antibacterial properties is present in oregano oil. This gives a pleasant taste and smell and, therefore, contributes to bacterial contamination. It causes apoptosis of cancer cells. The main mechanism of how carvacrol kills cancer cells is still unknown.
TRADITIONAL PRACTICES OF THE COATS OF ARMS:
Although oregano is a culinary herb, its medicinal properties have been recognized and used by Hippocrates in the early foci of the stomach and respiratory diseases. It serves to treat sore throat in Greece even today. It is used as a cure for respiratory and nervous disorders in Austrian traditional medicine.
INTERESTING FACT:
Improper diet increases the risk of prostate cancer, but researchers have confirmed that people who consume pizza are less likely to get prostate cancer. The results show that Mediterranean food serves a healthy diet for people with prostate cancer.
CONCLUSION:
It is estimated that almost 10,000 people die each year due to prostate cancer in the United Kingdom, and this is increasing year by year. The current study by Dr. Supriya Bhavadekar, a leading cancer researcher in the United States, may be an alternative for treating prostate cancer by administering oregano-based drugs in the future.
