How Pomegranates Can Help In Osteoarthritis

People with Osteoarthritis lead a painful life: they suffer from stiffness, intense agony and loss of mobility. They end up either totally dependent on others, or they are forced to deal with the boredom of a sedentary life.

Now, researchers think that there is hope for such people.

The study

Researchers at the Case Western Reserve University have done extensive research on pomegranates. They published their findings in The Journal of Nutrition.

In the study, several laboratory tests were done on pomegranate extracts. It was made to react with the various chemicals which are known to trigger and support inflammation in the joints.

The findings

Researchers found that:

• The anti-oxidants present in pomegranates reduce the level of interleukin, a substance which acts as an inflammatory agent in and around the joints.
• Pomegranate extracts also slowed down the production of enzymes which are known to erode cartilage tissue.
• Pomegranate extracts “inhibit cartilage degradation in Osteoarthritis” and so the fruit may be considered as a “useful nutritive supplement” for people with Osteoarthritis in order to maintain joint health, function and general mobility.

Pomegranates as natural medicine

In ancient medical systems, pomegranates have been revered for its medicinal properties. Traditional medical experts have used not just the fruit but also the barks and roots of the tree. The powerful antioxidants within it have been effectively used against cancer-causing elements. It is also helpful against cardiovascular diseases. Now, we know that pomegranates can be used as an effective food supplement by people with Osteoarthritis.  

Osteoarthritis is one of the diseases for which people seek herbal of traditional medicine. Such treatments are successful in many cases and are relatively inexpensive. They are also without any known side effects. Although all the usually suggested fruits and herbs have not been tested in a laboratory environment, the research done by the researchers at the Case Western Reserve University can be seen as an important milestone in the journey towards dealing with arthritis in a natural and patient-friendly manner.
