The buchu plant, endemic to the mountainous areas of the Western Cape in South Africa, contains a remarkable variety of bioflavanoids, vitamins and antioxidants. These natural medicinal ingredients are effective in the prevention and cure of a number of debilitating diseases.

FDA Approved Buchu Oil

In an organic process, the volatile oil, chock-a-block with powerful active ingredients, is carefully extracted from the leaves of the buchu plant. This oil, approved by the WHO, EU and FDA as safe and non-toxic, is then scientifically formulated into a range of buchu healthcare products.

For you to appreciate the healing versatility of the Buchu plant fully, we have listed a selection of active ingredients and how they work.

Rutin

Rutin has antiviral, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy properties. It thins the blood, increases circulation and strengthens the capillaries, thereby reducing the symptoms of haemophilia. It prevents venous oedema or dropsy in the legs and treats skin bruising, high blood pressure, varicose veins, haemorrhoids, microvascular disease and poor blood circulation.

It averts the creation of dangerous free radicals by preventing the iron ion from binding with hydrogen peroxide.   It is also known to reduce cholesterol, thereby lowering the risk of heart disease. By inhibiting a function called angiogenesis, where benign tumours become malignant, rutin has been positively associated with the control of some cancers. As a natural anti-inflammatory, rutin lowers ocular pressure and is effective in preventing eye disease including cataracts, free radical damage to the retina and macular degeneration.

Hesperidin

Hesperidin is an anti-inflammatory, natural antiseptic and effective anti-histamine. It reduces cholesterol and blood pressure, thereby enhancing the overall health of the heart and is used to treat varicose veins, bruising and fragile capillaries. In combination with Vitamin C, hesperidin prevents the wrinkling and sagging of the skin by maintaining healthy collagen and, by reducing the release of histamines from blood cells called mast cells, hesperidin is a natural allergy buster.

Diosmin

As an anti-inflammatory and vascular protection agent, diosmin is used to treat haemorrhoids and chronic venous insufficiency or UVI, a condition where the veins are unable to pump sufficient oxygen-deprived blood back to the heart. It is effective in the control of dermatitis, the prevention of hyperglycemia and is positively associated with the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, while its natural antiseptic properties expedite wound healing. Recent research conducted at the University of Murcia in Spain has revealed diosmin’s efficacy in the treatment of lung cancer in mice by reducing the number of metastatic nodules on the surface of the lungs.

Limonene

Limonene is particularly effective in the prevention and relief of nausea, discomfort and pain associated with heartburn and acid reflux disease. It neutralises gastric acid reflux by coating and protecting the stomach lining and increasing the weight of the stomach content so   it is unable to return up the oesophagus into the throat and mouth. It is also associated with effective weight loss and the treatment of bronchitis.

Quercetin 

Quercetin’s anti-inflammatory qualities alleviate the unpleasant symptoms of pollinosis or a stuffy nose caused by the chronic or acute inflammation of the mucous membranes. It provides natural pain relief for arthritis, gout, prostatitis and fibrositis and has been associated with the effective treatment of pancreatic and prostate cancers.
