Active ingredients• Citral/lemonal
– a strong antimicrobial and anti-cancerous• Aromatic Terpene
– Target cancer cells without side effect• Folate
– Prevents neural tube defects and play a vital role in cell division and DNA synthesis
– Acidic Polysaccharides– It suppresses tumor growth
Continue….• Pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, thiamine• Essential in sense that body requires them from external
source to replenish• Vit C, Vit A Antioxidants
• PotassiumControls heart rate and blood pressure
• ManganeseCo factor for antioxidant enzyme
Continue….Medicinal uses of citral• Citral is used for synthesis of Vit A• Helpful in relieving colitis and indigestion• Helpful to relieve symptoms of headache and stress• Its infusion often used to relieve infections such as sore
throats and bronchitis• citral oil is used as skin tonor
Continue….Citral as a major Anticancerous• Lemon grass kills the cancerous cells in vitro, leaving
healthy cells unharmed• It is a key component which give lemon aroma and taste• Citral cause cancer cells to commit suicide using
apoptosis• It can also be used as preventive measurement against
cancer
Continue….Acidic Polysaccharides as an anti cancerous• It suppresses tumor growth• The activation of tumor suppressor gene enhanced the activity of
cell triggering enzymes and turned off certain genes that prevent cell death
• It also disrupted activity of mitochondrial membranes , which is an initial step of apoptosis
• Laboratory studies shows that lemon grass is able to kill cancer cells by activation of a process called apoptosis.
Continue….Apoptosis• Apoptosis is the mechanism of programmed cell death• Cell activates specific molecular signals that results in
collapse of cell structure• Fragmentation of the nuclear DNA and cell membrane
breakdown• The dying cell is readily engulfed by macrophage cell of
the immune system
Mechanism of citral• In each cell in our body, there is a genetic
programme which causes programmed cell death.• When something goes wrong, the cell divide
uncontrolled and become cancer cell• In normal cells, when the cell discovers that the
control system is not working properly e.g. when it recognize that a cell contain faulty genetic material following cell division, it triggers cell death
Continue….• citral is characterized for
monoterpenes compounds, and citral is the major component, present at levels of, approximately, 65-85%. Citral (3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienal) is the name given to a natural mixture of two isomeric acyclic monoterpene aldehydes: geranial (trans-
citral, citral A) and neral (cis-citral, citral B).(Salvador 2008)
CONCLUSION
• Multipurpose sweet herbal powder is a zero calorie sweetener. It contains many minerals necessary for daily diet such as vitamin A, vitamin B-Complex, vitamin C, zinc, chromium, potassium, calcium, manganese, copper, iron etc.
• It can be used by everyone and also be consumed by person with diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol etc.
• A drink with little as one gram of lemon grass contain enough citral to prompt cancer cells to commit suicide
• Patient should take at least six cups of lemon grass tea• Higher the dose will increase the results
