Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / December 2004Horsegram - benifits .
In India it is widely believed that the horsegram has the medicinal property of breaking the kidney stone , lower cholesterol and reduce blood pressure . Many native doctors recommend its soup twicw a day for kidney stones . Has this any scientific bearing ? Kam I have no information about it. Following the nutritional/medical journals to a degree I see frequent studies being done in India about the plants used in traditional medicine to see if they have an effect and then what substance can be isolated from the plant that is the active part. If you do a search on google using "Horsegram india" or some such you might find some useful information. While intresting, reports not confirmed by formal research is not very useful in most aspects. >In India it is widely believed that the horsegram has the medicinal >property of breaking the kidney stone , lower cholesterol and reduce [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >-- >Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG > In India it is widely believed that the horsegram has the medicinal > property of breaking the kidney stone , lower cholesterol and reduce [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Kam If you go to Pubmed, you'll find lots of abstracts on the subject. It's always a good idea to use the Latin Genus/species name, which in this case is Dolichos biflorus. Here's one sample abstract. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstra ct&list_uids=7896323 > If you go to Pubmed, you'll find lots of abstracts on the subject.
