Herbal Remedies for Orchitis(2)
St. John's wort
St. John's wort is a plant with yellow flowers, which is famous for its high medicinal value. This herb is often recommended for the treatment of mental disorders such as depression.
The total alkaloids in St. John's wort have an antibacterial effect, especially against infection caused by Gram-positive bacteria. Especially for patients who need to have an operation, it can effectively resist bacteria and diminish inflammation, and promote the recovery. It should be noted that St. John's wort is found to have some side effects, such as sexual dysfunction and headache, and also interact with some drugs.
Its boswellic acid is considered to be a powerful anti-inflammatory agent by complement pathway, which makes many inflammatory-related diseases, including autoimmune diseases, become indications for treatment with frankincense.
The essential oil of frankincense is high in terpene content, and terpenes usually have a very strong anti-inflammatory function. Therefore, Frankincense essential oil is very effective in treating inflammation of the urinary system and reproductive system. Although the side effects of frankincense are rare, there are still some people who take this herb and cause adverse reactions.
Glycyrrhiza
It is reported that the main components of Glycyrrhiza are glycyrrhizin and flavonoids, such as glycyrrhizin, isoliquiritigenin and glycoside ligands. Glycyrrhizin can reduce the production of ROS, thus inhibiting tissue inflammation. The traditional Ayurvedic medicine in India holds that Glycyrrhiza root is an ingredient that can dispel phlegm, relieve spasm, diminish inflammation, relieve pain (relieve the stimulation of mucous membrane), and also affect the function of the adrenal gland.
