The Eden Prescription Yesterday at 7:25am Cloves Kill 91% of Breast Cancer Cells & Slow Growth by 78%: Eugenol, which is the major essential oil in cloves, was found to potently kill over 91% of three kinds of human breast cancer cells in vitro (MCF 10A, MCF7 and MDA-MB-231) which includes aggressive triple-negative breast cancer. This was done at a remarkably low dose of just 4 micromolar. When given to mice, the essential oil slowed breast tumor growth by a remarkable 78% over 28 days. Cloves are a powerful medicinal herb with established anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticancer properties. They have been used in Ayurvedic medicine in India for centuries, and recent studies are now confirming cloves potent activity against prostate cancer, lung cancer, throat cancer, melanoma and others. India has one of the highest consumptions of herbs and spices in the world, and cloves are one of the major spices used in Indian cuisine. So its not surprising that the rate of breast cancer there is just one quarter of that in American or European women (IARC 2012 data). Cloves could therefore be a very healthy addition to a balanced diet focused on organic fruit and vegetables. #Cancer #Cloves #BreastCancerncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24330704
