I-Echinacea: Ikhambi Njengengxenye Yesu Lempilo Yasebusika: UDkt. Ross Walton, isazi sezifo kanye noMsunguli we-A-IR Clinical Research Company, ubuyekeza ucwaningo lwesayensi ngekhambi le-Echinacea futhi uxoxa ngokuthi leli khambi elitholakala kalula, elinelayisensi lingaba wusizo futhi libe nenzuzo kanjani. Indima yokusebenza kahle njengengxenye yesu lempilo yasebusika.
I-Echinacea iyikhambi elingatholakala emashalofini ezitolo eziningi zamakhemisi kanye nezitolo zokudla okunempilo e-UK. Njengamanje inelayisensi e-UK njengekhambi lendabuko lokusekela amasosha omzimba kanye nokuqeda izimpawu zomkhuhlane (isb., umphimbo obuhlungu, ukukhwehlela, impumulo egobhozayo, ukuminyana kwamakhala/ama-sinus, umkhuhlane). Ingabe le khambi iyatholakala nase-WE LEARN? Ingabe ukuhlala ne-COVID kuyasiza ekunciphiseni ukutheleleka kanye nokudluliswa kwezinhlobo ze-coronavirus zesikhathi esidlule, zamanje nezesikhathi esizayo, kanye nokunciphisa ubude nobunzima bezimpawu lapho uthelelekile?
Ubufakazi be-echinacea buyaqhubeka nokuqongelela. Izifundo ezingaphezu kuka-30 ezibuyekezwe ontanga zisekela ubufakazi obukhulayo bokuthi i-echinacea idlala indima yokuvimbela ekuvimbeleni ukwanda, ubukhali, kanye nobude bezimpawu zomkhuhlane kanye negciwane, kanti ucwaningo lwamuva lubonisa ukuthi ingaba yindlela yokuvimbela ephumelelayo yezifo ezahlukahlukene.
NgoSepthemba 2020, ilabhorethri yaseSpiez eSwitzerland yashicilela ucwaningo ku-Virology Journal olukhombisa ukuthi uketshezi olusha lwesitshalo sonke se-Echinacea purpurea luyasebenza ngokumelene nenani lama-coronavirus abantu. Abacwaningi baphenye umphumela we-in vitro we-Echinacea purpurea extract (Echinaforce®) ku-HCoV-229E (uhlobo lwe-coronavirus olubangela umkhuhlane wezinkathi), i-MERS-CoV, i-SARS-CoV-1 kanye ne-SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19).
Imiphumela ikhombisile ukuthi i-Echinacea purpurea extract yayine-viral ngokumelene ne-HCoV-229E ekuthintaneni ngqo kanye nokulungiswa kwangaphambili kwamamodeli okukhula kwamaseli e-organotypic. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-MERS-CoV, kanye ne-SARS-CoV-1 kanye ne-SARS-CoV-2, azange zisebenze ngokuxhumana ngqo ekugxilweni okufanayo kwe-extract.
Le miphumela iphakamisa ukuthi i-echinacea extract ingadlala indima ekunciphiseni ukuphindaphindeka kwama-coronavirus kubantu endleleni yokuphefumula lapho inikezwa endaweni yokuphefumula ephezulu nangendlela enikeza ukuxhumana okuqondile negciwane; noma kunjalo, ukulandelwa kobunzima besifo kanye nobude besikhathi. Imiphumela ayicaci, futhi ucwaningo olwengeziwe luyadingeka ukuze kunqunywe ngokugcwele imiphumela yangempela yokwelashwa.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, elinye iphepha lisikisela ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwama-antibiotic kungase kwehle ngenxa yokusetshenziswa kwe-echinacea ukwelapha umkhuhlane. Amaphesenti angamashumi amabili okutheleleka komkhuhlane kuholela ezinkingeni, ikakhulukazi kubantu asebekhulile nakubantu abanezifo ezingamahlalakhona. Lokhu kutheleleka kwesibili kuvame ukuholela emaholidini amade futhi, ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu, ukulaliswa esibhedlela. Ukwesaba izinkinga kuyimbangela enkulu yokuthi odokotela abajwayelekile banikeze ama-antibiotic, kanye nokuphoqa iziguli ukuthi zinikeze ama-antibiotic. Ukusetshenziswa ngokweqile kwama-antibiotic kuholele ekwandeni kwenani lamagciwane amelana nama-antibiotic, okuye kwaba yinkinga enkulu yezempilo yomphakathi emhlabeni jikelele.
Isihloko sesithathu samuva nje sasiwukuhlaziywa okubukeziwe kwezifundo ezimbili zokuvimbela i-echinacea kubantu abadala nasezinganeni. Izifundo zikhombisile ukuthi abantu abathole i-echinacea ngesikhathi somkhuhlane kanye nenkathi yomkhuhlane babhekane nokwehla kokuvama kanye nobukhali bomkhuhlane, kanye nokwehla okukhulu kwenani lama-coronavirus asakazekile. Lokhu kukhombisa ukusebenza kahle ngokumelene nama-coronavirus ajwayelekile futhi ngethemba ukuthi kuzovela ku-SARS-CoV-2.
Icala lokusebenzisa i-echinacea ekwelapheni izifo zokuphefumula eziphezulu likhule kakhulu eminyakeni emihlanu edlule. Inani elikhulayo lezifundo zangaphambi kokwelashwa liqondiswe ekunqumeni izindlela eziyisisekelo zokusebenza kwezinto ezibonakala ziyinkimbinkimbi, kuyilapho izivivinyo zezokwelapha zifuna ukukhombisa zonke izinzuzo ezibalulekile zezokwelapha.
Ngo-2012, ababambiqhaza abangu-755 bahlanganyele ovivinyweni lokuvimbela olude nolukhulu lwezinyanga ezine lwe-Echinacea purpurea (i-Echinaphora extract) olwenziwe yi-Common Cold Center (Cardiff). Ukuvama komkhuhlane ophindaphindayo kanye nobunzima bezimpawu zomkhuhlane kwehle ngo-59%. Isidingo sokusetshenziswa kwemithi yobuhlungu naso sehle ngaphezu kwesigamu. Umkhuhlane omncane kanye nezinsuku ezimbalwa ezinezimpawu zomkhuhlane. I-Echinacea inenzuzo ikakhulukazi kulabo abasengozini enkulu yokutheleleka, njengalabo abanemikhuhlane engaphezu kwemibili ngonyaka, abacindezelekile, abalali kahle, futhi ababhemayo.
Ucwaningo lukaSolwazi uMargaret Ritchie waseNyuvesi yaseSt. Andrews lugcizelela ukuthi i-echinacea iyavumelana nezidingo zomuntu ngamunye: kubantu abanomkhiqizo ophansi wabalamuli bokuzivikela komzimba, i-echinacea inomphumela ovuselelayo, kanti kubantu abanomkhiqizo ophezulu wabalamuli bokuzivikela komzimba, i-echinacea inciphisa izinqubo zokuvuvukala. Abalamuli abasekela impendulo yokulawula elinganiselayo. Idatha evela ekuhlaziyweni kwe-meta-analysis yezivivinyo eziyisithupha zemitholampilo ezibandakanya amalungu angu-2458 eRoyal Society of Medicine ibonise ukuthi i-echinacea extract inciphisa kakhulu ukutheleleka kokuphefumula okuphindaphindayo, ngaleyo ndlela inciphisa ingozi ye-pneumonia noma i-bronchitis.
Ngakho-ke, ingabe i-echinacea iyisisombululo? Ngaphezu kwalokho, kudingeka izifundo zezokwelapha ezilawulwa ngokugcwele, ezinkulu, ezisekelwe kubantu ukuze kuboniswe ukusebenza kahle kwe-echinacea futhi kwakhiwe kudatha ekhona ekhombisa ukuthi lesi siqeshana siyasebenza ekunciphiseni ukusebenza kahle kwezinkinga ezinkulu zesibili maqondana nezifo kanye nokunikezwa kwama-antibiotic. Kodwa-ke, lesi senzo, kanye nezakhiwo ezibanzi ze-viral kanye ne-antiviral ze-echinacea extract, ukusebenza kwayo ngokumelene nezinhlobo eziningi zezifo zokuphefumula, kufaka phakathi izinhlobo eziningi ezibalulekile ze-SARS-CoV-2, kanye nephrofayili yayo yokuphepha enhle, kunikeza isizathu esinamandla sokusetshenziswa kwayo namasu okuzivikela akhiqizwe ngomuthi wokugoma.
Ukuze uthole imiphumela emihle kakhulu, imithi yamakhambi ye-OTC kufanele iqukathe zonke izingxenye zesitshalo, njenge-EchinaforceI-Echinacea Extractkusuka ku-Traditional Herbal Brand A.Vogel, equkethe izitshalo nezimpande ezintsha ze-Echinacea eziphilayo. Kodwa akuyona yonke imikhiqizo ye-echinacea edalwe ilingana, ngakho-ke funa imikhiqizo yendabuko yemithi enophawu lwe-THR ephaketheni, njengoba lokhu kusho ukuthi ihlolwe yi-UK Herbal Medicines Regulatory Agency (MHRA) ukuze ithole ikhwalithi nokuphepha. kanye nemithi evunyelwe yokuqeda izimpawu zomkhuhlane kanye nomkhuhlane.

Silangazelela ukubambisana nani. Siyakwamukela ukuxhumana nathi nganoma yisiphi isikhathi. Sikholelwa ukuthi singazuza ngokunqoba ebhizinisini!
