HEALTH BENEFITS OF BITTER KOLA {
Bitter Kola is a tree that grows in the rain
forests of West Africa. The fruit, seeds, nuts and bark of the plant have been
used for centuries in folk medicine to treat ailments from coughs to fever.
Basically, the nut is about 3-5 cm in length. It
is ellipsoid in shape and covered with a deep brown peel which is removed
before it is eaten. It leaves a bitter taste in the mouth when eaten and this
is the reason for its name.
1. It Improves Lung Functions:
Bitter kola (Garcinia kola) has been used for
centuries to treat chest colds in traditional medicine, but research has taken
a look and found out why it is effective. A study in the 2009 issue of The
Internet Journal of Pulmonary Medicine, performed on mice, reports that
Garcinia kola improved respiratory function after 28 days of use of a Garcinia
extract. Written by Simon Adekunle of the Ekiti State University in Nigeria,
the study shows that Garcinia kola works by dilating the alveolar ducts and
sacs in the lungs by improving the strength of the fibres in the lung tissue.
Bitter kola’s beneficial lung properties are attributed to its high antioxidant
content.
2. Anti-malarial Properties
Considerable experimental studies discovered that
the chemical constituents in bitter kola have anti-malaria properties. Also,
over the years, traditional healers have recommended bitter kola for the
treatment of malaria infections. Researchers who reported that bitter kola had
anti-malaria effect in the 2010 issue of Journal of Medicinal Plants Research,
from a survey of plants used by traditional healers in the Democratic Republic
of Congo, attributed this to its Quinone’s content. Furthermore, Kolaviron, the
powerful chemical compound found in bitter kola, was reportedly tested on a
malaria parasite and found to inhibit malarial activity.
3. Improves Male Fertility
Garcinia kola, also called bitter kola is
sometimes believed to cure impotence. Frequent taking of bitter kola boosts a
man’s performance in bed with a woman.
4. Reduces Eye Pressure (Glaucoma)
An increase in eye pressure can lead to glaucoma,
according to a report from The New York Times Health Guide. Researchers at
Lagos University Teaching Hospital in Nigeria tested the effectiveness of eye
drops that contained 0.5 percent extract of Garcinia kola. The results of their
study, published in the January 2010 issue of Middle East African Journal of
Opthamology, showed that the opthamolic solution that contained the Garcinia
significantly reduced eye pressure when used twice a day.
5. Health Benefit for HIV
Bitter kola is a potent antibiotic which could be
efficacious in the treatment of HIV and AIDS. A researcher with the Nigeria
Natural Medicine Development Agency (NNMDA), Mrs. Chinyere Nwokeke told the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that bitter kola could be used in treating
opportunistic infections associated with HIV. “Bitter kola is highly
recommended in the treatment of HIV and AIDS because of its antibacterial,
detoxification, and cleansing properties”, she said. Mrs Chinyere Nwokeke also
said that the chemical, Saponin, in bitter kola is responsible for its
cleansing effect. Saponin is mainly used as tonic for the liver, it enhances
the functions of the liver and gall bladder.
6. Remedy for Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of
arthritis, characterised by pain, inflammation and limited movement in the
joints, according to the National Institutes of Health. Causes of
osteoarthritis can include joint injury, obesity and aging. Since many
arthritis sufferers prefer natural herbal medicines to other pain relievers and
medications, researchers at Obafemi Awolowo University in Nigeria tested the
effects of Garcinia kola against arthritis symptoms. The results of the study, written
