Herbal Tea Made From Pakistani Plant Kills Cancer Cells In Test Tubes

August 22, 2012: 12:00 AM EST
British scientists have shown in laboratory experiments that an extract from a plant commonly found in Pakistan kills breast cancer cells in test tubes. Fagonia cretica, or Virgin's Mantle, has been used in herbal tea to treat women with breast cancer in rural Pakistan, but the tea has heretofore been thought of only as a folk remedy. The researchers found that the extract kills cancer cells without harming normal breast cells, at least under lab conditions. Further research is needed to determine exactly what elements of the tea are responsible for the anti-cancer activity.
