Fields of application
There are no traditional areas of application in Europe due to the relatively short time to market. In South African folk medicine, Umckaloabo is used to treat not only respiratory disease but also diarrhea, gastrointestinal disorders, menstrual disorders and liver disease. As early as the 1920s, a successful treatment of tuberculosis with Umckaloabo by the Englishman Charles Stevens received scientific recognition.
With the development of synthetic drugs, the Umckaloabo extract was again forgotten by doctors and researchers. The South African root extract only experienced a renaissance in the seventies. In the meantime, there are several scientific studies that prove its effectiveness.
Further studies are currently underway. Fields of application in the European medicine of Umkaloabo are :
- Acute or pre-acute infections of the respiratory tract
