Titolo: Gastrite e liquirizia... pare funzionare.

 Ho notato che, alla comparsa di bruciori di stomaco (derivanti da
gastrite accertata mediante diverse gastroscopie), assumendo della
liquirizia i sintomi migliorano NETTAMENTE.
 Non amo fare pubblicità per cui dirò semplicemente che uso i
tronchetti di "liquirizia purissima" che normalmente si trovano in
vendita nei bar.
 Non ho provato quella che si trova nelle farmacie o erboristerie, ma
immagino abbia lo stesso effetto.
 La cosa è stata scoperta un pò per caso.

AIM: To investigate the bactericidal and anti-adhesive properties of 25
plants against Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). METHODS: Twenty-five
plants were boiled in water to produce aqueous extracts that simulate
the effect of cooking. The bactericidal activity of the extracts was
assessed by a standard kill-curve with seven strains of H. pylori. The
anti-adhesive property was assessed by the inhibition of binding of
four strains of FITC-labeled H. pylori to stomach sections. RESULTS: Of
all the plants tested, eight plants, including Bengal quince,
nightshade, garlic, dill, black pepper, coriander, fenugreek and black
tea, were found to have no bactericidal effect on any of the isolates.
Columbo weed, long pepper, parsley, tarragon, nutmeg, yellow-berried
nightshade, threadstem carpetweed, sage and cinnamon had bactericidal
activities against H. pylori, but total inhibition of growth was not
achieved in this study. Among the plants that killed H. pylori,
turmeric was the most efficient, followed by cumin, ginger, chilli,
borage, black caraway, oregano and liquorice. Moreover, extracts of
turmeric, borage and parsley were able to inhibit the adhesion of H.
pylori strains to the stomach sections. CONCLUSION: Several plants that
were tested in our study had bactericidal and/or anti-adhesive effects
on H. pylori. Ingestion of the plants with anti-adhesive properties
could therefore provide a potent alternative therapy for H. pylori
infection, which overcomes the problem of resistance associated with
current antibiotic treatment.

The purpose of this investigation was to study the anti-inflammatory
activities of both glycerrhitinic acid (GA) and the aqueous licorice
extract (ALE) in comparison with diclofenac sodium (DS) (10 mg/kg),
using the carrageenan-induced paw edema model in male albino rats. In
addition, the anti-ulcer activities of ALE, famotidine (FT), and a
combination of ALE and FT using indomethacin-induced ulceration
technique in rat stomach were investigated. Conventional DS tablets
containing GA, as well as DS chewable tablets containing either GA or
ALE with different tastes were prepared. Also, rapidly disintegrating
FT tablets were prepared using direct compression and camphor
sublimation methods. ALE or GA produced significant anti-inflammatory
activity similar to DS, and when taken concomitantly, there is no
possible antagonism. The anti-ulcer activity of licorice was found to
be similar to that of FT in indomethacin-induced ulceration technique
in rat stomach. Combination therapy of both FT and licorice showed
higher anti-ulcer activity than either of them alone. Generally,
tablets containing the crosslinked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose
(AcDisol) showed more rapidly disintegrating effect than those
including Sodium starch glycolate (Primojel). The oral disintegration
was very rapid for all the tested formulations. Also, the amount of FT
absorbed from the oral cavity was nearly 9 from 10 mg theoretically
present in each formula. It could be concluded that both GA and ALE
have anti-inflammatory activity comparable with DS. It may be
recommended to add ALE to either FT or diclofinac for more effective
anti-inflammatory or anti-ulcer formulations, respectively.

 Questi studi possono essere la spiegazione?
 Mi piacerebbe che qualche MEDICO mi desse la sua opinione in merito.
Grazie e... scusate il copia-incolla, ma la tentazione è stata troppo
forte...

>liquirizia i sintomi migliorano NETTAMENTE.
E guarda caso che il digestivo antonetto sa di liquirizia.
P.S. E' vero funziona anche io l'avevo provato

non mi sembra che ci sia niente di nuovo, la radice di liquirizia e' stata 
usata da sempre in medicina. Attento pero' agli effetti collaterali, la 
liquirizia puo' indurre ipertensione.

   Sì, l'ho letto, ritenzione di sodio e perdita di potassio, mangerò
con poco sale e qualche banana in più (come fanno del resto i nostri
affini primati...).
 E controllo della pressione più frequente, giusto?
