Isihlahla sase-Afrika esinegama lesayensi eliyingqayizivele - i-Prunus africana - muva nje sithathe ukunaka komphakathi wezempilo emhlabeni jikelele. Ibizwa ngokuthi iPygeum, lesi sihlahla esimangalisayo esidabuka eNtshonalanga naseCentral Africa siyacwaningwa ngezinzuzo zaso zezempilo ezingase zibe khona, ikakhulukazi ekwelapheni izimo ezihlobene nendlala yesinye.

Amagxolo esihlahla se-Pygeum asetshenziswe ngokwesiko kwezokwelapha zase-Afrika amakhulu eminyaka ukunciphisa izimpawu ze-prostate ekhulisiwe kanye nokwanda kwe-prostate gland. Ucwaningo lwesimanje luye lwaqala ukusekela lezi zimangalo, okubonisa ukuthi izinhlanganisela ezithile egxolweni zingasiza ekudambiseni izimpawu ezihlobene nokwanda kwe-prostate, njengokuchama njalo nobunzima bokuchama.

“I-pygeum ibilokhu isetshenziswa ekwelapheni kwesintu kwase-Afrika ezifweni zendlala yesinye iminyaka eminingi, futhi manje sibona ucwaningo olwengeziwe lwesayensi olusekela lezi zinsolo,” kusho uDkt. Robert Johnson, udokotela womchamo nomcwaningi. “Nakuba kungelona ikhambi, kungase kunikeze impumuzo emadodeni anokwanda kwendlala yesinye.”

Ngaphezu kwezinzuzo zayo ezihlobene ne-prostate, i-Pygeum nayo ifundelwa amandla ayo ekwelapheni ezinye izimo zezempilo. Ezinye izifundo zokuqala ziphakamisa ukuthi amagxolo angase abe nezindawo zokulwa nokuvuvukala kanye ne-antioxidant, ezingazuza uchungechunge lwezimo kusukela ku-arthritis kuya kwesifo senhliziyo.

“I-Pygeum iyisitshalo esithakazelisa kakhulu esinamandla amaningi,” kusho uDkt. Emily Davis, umcwaningi we-phytomedicine. "Sisezigabeni zokuqala zokuqonda uhla lwayo olugcwele lwezinzuzo, kodwa ucwaningo luyajabulisa futhi luyathembisa."

Njengoba isithakazelo empilweni yemvelo kanye nezinye izindlela zokwelapha ziqhubeka zikhula, i-Pygeum isilungele ukuba umkhiqizo wezempilo wemvelo osetshenziswa kabanzi futhi owaziwayo. Nokho, ochwepheshe baxwayisa ngokuthi nakuba amagxolo engase anikeze izinzuzo ezithile zezempilo, akufanele asetshenziswe esikhundleni sokwelashwa okuvamile.

“Uma ucabanga ukusebenzisa iPygeum yendlala yesinye noma ezinye izimo zezempilo, kubalulekile ukuthintana nomhlinzeki wakho wezempilo kuqala,” kusho uDkt. Johnson. “Bangakusiza uqonde izinketho zakho futhi baqinisekise ukuthi wenza izinqumo ezinolwazi ngempilo yakho.”
