What symptoms can medical bromelain alleviate?

Pineapple has high medicinal value, and bromelain is an enzyme extracted from pineapple. It reduces gastric pain (functional heartburn, heartburn, acid reflux) and acts as a nasal decongestant. Recommended to be taken between meals, bromelain can benefit the immune system and protect the body from cancer.

The effect of bromelain on adipocytes is also being studied, and there is preliminary evidence. The symptoms that bromelain can currently help reduce include…

Antibiotic treatment: Bromelain can enhance the body's absorption of antibiotics and reduce side effects on the gastrointestinal tract. But for people who are allergic to antibiotics, eating pineapple at the same time will aggravate their allergic symptoms to antibiotics.

Gout: Bromelain interacts with quercetin and can effectively destroy uric acid crystals, so eating pineapple can relieve gout.

Knee pain: Bromelain and other proteolytic enzymes reduce swelling and improve circulation, especially in patients undergoing knee surgery.

Parasites: Bromelain (such as papain found in papaya) interferes with enzyme systems that protect the gastric acid in the digestive tract.

Lymphedema: It is recommended to eat a little pineapple every day, and the swelling will subside in a few days.

Pelvic adhesions after hysterectomy: Bromelain can help strengthen the secretion of plasmin (a chemical that causes the fibers that make up protein chains to break) to repair the damage to immune system tissue caused by the incision.

Pelvic inflammatory disease: Bromelain can be used to treat pelvic inflammatory disease with significant efficacy. It is mainly used to prevent the formation of adhesive scar tissue in the ovarian urethra.

Shingles: It acts on the area around shingles to reduce pain, redness and swelling and is almost as effective as the antiviral drug acyclovir.

Pain relief: Bromelain also restores blood circulation and prevents blockage of sinuses and nasal passages.
