Two herbs that are most likely in our home closet can reverse the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, a new study notes. Scientists have begun to develop a new treatment for this condition, using ingredients found in rosemary and sage, creating a compound.

The carnosic acid -the compound found in both herbs -which has antioxidant and anti -inflammatory properties, activates the enzymes that make up the body’s natural defense system. While pure carnosic acid is too unstable to be used as a drug, scientists have now composed it in a constant form. This substance is completely converted into carnosic acid in the intestine before it is absorbed by the blood. Experts from the Scripps Research Institute in California argue that their treatment has significantly reduced inflammation in the mice brain.

The inflammatory response is known to be associated with Alzheimer’s disease. As early as 2012, a study, funded by Alzheimer’s Research UK, revealed that a mutation in a gene called Trem2 could increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

As the TREM2 gene produces a protein that greatly contributes to the regulation of inflammatory brain reaction, scientists assumed that inflammation can actually play a role in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. For more than a decade, scientists around the world have been trying to further understand the interpretation of these findings.

Now, in the new study, the group from the scripps has developed a drug using karsonic acid – Diacca – which cleaned inflammation. In addition, he allegedly restored some of the connections of brain nerve cells that help learn and memory.

The research team concluded that while the tests were done in mice, the Union is considered safe for humans, which means that the team is asking for “testing” to people.
