May 10, 2012 - PRLog -- Buchu research

After conducting a range of clinical trials at the Sports Science Institute and Synexa Life Science at Tygerberg Hospital respectively, the duo concluded Buchu was highly effective in:

•   reducing chronic pain associated with rheumatism, arthritis and other joint problems
•   alleviating painful urinary tract infections such as prostatitis and cystitis
•   arresting the development of hypertension or high blood pressure
•   preventing bruising and swelling of the soft tissue following trauma

The BuchuLife brand

Subsequent to the EU, WHO and FDA’s declaration of organic Buchu oil’s inherent safety and non toxicity, and building on the positive scientific research listed above, Cape Kingdom Nutraceuticals has developed a range of Buchu health care products under the BuchuLife brand - Joint Health Capsules, UTI Relief Capsules, First Aid Gel and Natural & Flavoured Herbal Water.

Although anecdotal evidence has supported Buchu’s role as an organic anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and antiseptic with natural pain relief qualities for hundreds of years, it is the first time it has been backed by science. The myth spread by sceptics that Buchu is simply a placebo with little to no medicinal benefits has finally been debunked.

Spike in the international demand for Buchu

Notwithstanding criticism from some quarters, the demand for the indigenous Buchu herb has been on an upward projectile for the past ten to fifteen years. This positive sentiment follows its original explosion in the late 1800’s when it was one of the most traded commodities across the western world.

The demand has been such that the Agricultural Research Council (ARC) of South Africa has had to step in to prevent exploitation of the wild Buchu crop by introducing a number of projects designed to encourage the sustainability of the rare indigenous herb.

Commercial cultivation of wild crops by previously disadvantaged communities is now carefully regulated to adhere to best practice, thereby producing an efficient and effective organic alternative, with a multi-million dollar market share, to laboratory created pharmaceuticals.
