Grape Seed May Have the Potential to Reverse Asthma Naturally

(Newswire.net — January 10, 2017) Orlando, FL — Inflammation has long been thought to cause a range of medical conditions, such as asthma. While there are medications available for this condition, there are also some natural alternatives thought to be helpful to sufferers.

Grape seed may have the potential to reverse asthma naturally. Grapes have been used for thousands of years for their medicinal and nutritional values. Ancient Greek philosophers even believed in the healing powers of grapes.

“Grapes have been used by Egyptians since 6,000 years ago,” said Mary Jackson, the spokesperson of Divine Bounty.

Grapes are believed to have therapeutic properties that may be able to help fight a range of conditions, including asthma. Asthma is a chronic and inflammatory condition that affects the lungs.

Individuals who suffer from asthma typically experience symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. The symptoms may be recurring and intermittent. There are those who suffer from severe attacks, while others only experience mild symptoms.

Unfortunately, when asthma is left untreated, it may result in gradual deterioration. Inflammatory reaction takes place due to the response of the epithelial tissue against allergens. When inflammation develops, swelling takes place.

The bronchial tubes contain fluid and mucous, and they typically swell as they struggle in fighting allergens. Swelling may cause more sensitivity in the air passages of the lungs. Some of these allergens include dust, dander, mold, and pollutants. Foods such as gluten, dairy, peanuts, and soy are also considered to be allergens.

According to some experts, grape seed extract has oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC), which are thought to offer a range of health benefits. The long-term use of grape seed extract is also thought to help boost the immune system.

According to scientific studies, grape seed extract may potentially improve lung function as well as increase the capacity of the lungs. It is also thought to help reduce the symptoms of asthma.

Grape seed extract may have the potential to reduce the levels of leukotriene, which is a substance usually produced by the body in response to inflammation. Researchers suggest that it targets the cause of the symptoms versus suppressing them.

In 2011, a study revealed that grape seed extract may be able to suppress the resistance of the airway as well as reduce the overall inflammatory cell and eosinophil counts. It was also found that grape seed extract may have decreased the allergen-induced lung eosinophilic inflammation as well as the mucus-producing goblet cells in the airway.

Researchers further suggest that grape seed extract may potentially reduce inflammation in the airways as well as increase one’s immunity.

Individuals who want to take advantage of the potentially therapeutic effects of grape seed extract may want to consider utilizing supplementation.
