Description
Sefi Lestyo Harini and a large team tested a pairing of green tea and turmeric alcohol extracts against the giant liver fluke Fasciola gigantica in laboratory dishes. The fluke sickens cattle and can infect people, and heavy use of synthetic dewormers has bred resistant worms. Adult flukes and eggs came from naturally infected cattle, and six groups compared extract blends against salt water and a standard drug.
Damage rose with dose and time: the strongest blend produced the most egg breakdown, with cracked shells and failed development, and adult deaths climbed the longer worms soaked. Microscope work showed torn outer skin and internal tissue injury in treated worms. The authors see the plant pairing as a promising natural candidate, while noting that dish results must still be proven in living animals.
