The 7+ Benefits Of Bladder Mallows (Herissantia)

1. May Reduce Asthma And Allergies

BM may be able to reduce the symptoms of asthma. R

For example, it can also reduce allergic inflammation in animal models with chronic asthma. R

BM is also able to reduce mucus from building up in the lungs. R

BM also has anti-allergy effects. R

2. May Decrease Anxiety

In humans, anxiety is very common among asthmatics. R R R R

In animal models with asthma, BM was able to their reduce anxiety. R

3. Has Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Similarly to its ability to reduce asthma and allergy symptoms, BM has anti-inflammatory properties. R

For example, in animals models with carrageenan-induced swelling, BM is able to reduce inflammation by modulating the immune system. R

4. May Protect The Gut

Similarly to its regulation of mucus in the lungs, BM can regulate mucus in the gut as well, providing anti-ulcer properties. R

For example, BM is able to protect reduce gastric lesions in animal models given excessive alcohol and prevent diarrhea in animal models given castor oil. R

5. Makes Some Antibiotics More Effective

BM has shown anti-microbial effects against:

• Escherichia coli R

• Listeria monocytogenes R

• Shigella flexineri R

• Shigella sonnei R

• Salmonella R

• Yerisinea entercrocololytica R

The best way to get the benefits of Bladder Mallows is probably by taking some of its bioactive components:

• Bitter Orange

• Kaempherol

• Luteolin

In mice, BM has low toxicity showing no ill effect even at 2000 mg/kg. R

No clinical trials have been performed for BM.

Simple:

• Decreases IgE R

• Decreases IL-1beta R

• Decreases IL-6 R

• Decreases IL‐13 R

• Decreases Nitric Oxide R

• Decreases TNF-alpha R

Advanced:

• Herissantia is part of the Malvaceae/mallows family (with over 244 genera and 4225 known species) and contains polyoxygen flavonoids, triterpenes, steroid, phenolic compounds and flavonoid glycosides such as kaempherol, lespedin, tiliroside, 5-hydroxyauranetin, araneosol, calycopterin, and sarothrin.

• In the lungs of rodents, HT can reduce immunoglobulins (IgE). R

• HT reduces Interluekin-13 (IL‐13), which induces production of mucus by lung epithelial goblet cells, acting on their proliferation, differentiation, and secretory function, and it switches to IgE by B cells. R

• HT also reduces CD3+ T‐lymphocytes and decreases percentage of B220+ cells (B cells) in the lungs. R

• H. crispa has a low IC50 value (1.63 ± 0.86 mg/mL) compared to ascorbic acid in the TEAC assay. R
