Blumea Lacera (Kukrondha)

Overview

Blumea Lacera, also known as Kukrondha or Grand Blumea, is a perennial herb found across South and Southeast Asia. Revered in Ayurveda for its broad healing properties, it exhibits antioxidant, anti-ulcer, anti-diarrheal, and hepatoprotective effects that support digestive, liver, and immune health.

Medicinal Uses

Blumea Lacera has long been valued in traditional medicine for its diverse healing potential:

  • Anthelmintic Properties: Helps expel intestinal worms, easing stomach discomfort and improving digestion.
  • Anti-inflammatory: Reduces inflammation, beneficial for conditions such as arthritis and muscle pain.
  • For Haemorrhages: Traditionally, the leaves mixed with black pepper have been used to help stop internal bleeding.
  • Detoxifying Action: Supports internal cleansing and liver function.

Benefits of Eating Blumea Lacera

In some regions, young shoots and leaves are consumed for their nutrition and mild medicinal value:

  • Nutritional Value: Packed with vitamins, minerals, and dietary fibre for balanced nutrition.
  • Improved Digestion: Acts as a mild digestive aid and supports gut health.
  • Immune Support: Strengthens natural immunity through antioxidant activity.
  • Liver Protection: Helps shield liver cells from oxidative damage and promotes detoxification.

How Blumea Lacera is Used in Body Revival

The active compound glycoalkaloids found in the fruit of Blumea Lacera are key ingredients in Body Revival. Research shows these compounds possess anti-cancer potential, particularly against leukaemia and the herpes simplex virus (HSV), while enhancing cellular resistance to toxins.

An extract known as BME demonstrates liver-protective and anti-cancer properties, slowing the growth of liver cancer cells in both animals and humans without harming healthy tissue. It achieves this by interrupting cancer cell cycles and reducing key protein levels responsible for tumour growth.

Additionally, BME lowers levels of the molecule APRIL, which is linked to tumour proliferation, making Blumea Lacera a vital component in Body Revival’s comprehensive cancer-support formulation.
