Bromelain is the name of a group of powerful protein-digesting, or proteolytic, enzymes that are found in the pineapple plant (Ananas comosus). Discovered in 1957, and widely studied since then, bromelain is particularly useful for reducing muscle and tissue inflammation and as a digestive aid. Supplements are made from enzymes found in the pineapple stem.
Bromelain is a natural blood thinner and anti-inflammatory. It works by breaking down fibrin, a blood-clotting protein that can impede good circulation and prevent tissues from draining properly. Bromelain also blocks the production of compounds that can cause swelling and pain. When inflammation is reduced, blood can move more easily to a traumatized area, easing pain and speeding healing.
Specifically, bromelain may help to:
-Treat sprains, strains, and muscle aches and pains
-Alleviate back pain and chronic joint pain associated with arthritis
-Aid digestion and reduce heartburn
-Reduce the swelling and pain of gout
-Ease chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, and respiratory allergies
-Relieve carpal syndrome tunnel
-Lessen the swelling and accelerate the healing of cuts and scrapes, and insect bites and stings
-Reduce the symptoms of eczema
