Mu myaka ya vuba aha, isi yakunze kwibanda ku buvuzi n’imiti karemano. Mu bimera byinshi birimo kuvumburwa ku nyungu zabyo ku buzima, amababi ya boldo yagaragaye nk'icyerekezo gishya mu bijyanye no kuvura karemano.

Boldo, izwi cyane nka Peumus boldus, ni igiti cy’icyatsi kibisi gikomoka muri Shili kandi gikunze kuboneka mu turere dushyuha cyane two muri Amerika y’Epfo. Amababi yacyo y’icyatsi kibisi amaze igihe kinini akoreshwa n’abaturage kavukire kubera imiterere yacyo y’ubuvuzi, none ubu arimo kumenyekana ku isoko mpuzamahanga kubera inyungu nyinshi zifite ku buzima.

“Ubukene bw’ibikomoka ku bimera karemano n’ibikomoka ku bimera bukomeje kwiyongera, kandi amababi ya boldo ni yo ari ku isonga muri ubu buryo,” ibi ni ibyavuzwe na Dr. Maria Serrano, umuvuzi w’ibimera uzwi cyane ukorera i Santiago muri Chili. “Bifite ubushobozi bwo kurwanya ububyimbirwe, gusukura amaraso, no gusya, amababi ya boldo atanga inyungu nyinshi ku buzima bugoye kubona mu yindi miti karemano.”

Imwe mu nyungu zikomeye z'amababi ya boldo ni ubushobozi bwayo mu kuvura indwara zo mu nzira y'inkari (UTIs). Ubushakashatsi bwagaragaje ko ibintu bikora mu mababi ya boldo bishobora gufasha kurwanya bagiteri zitera UTIs, bigatuma iba umuti uzwi cyane ku bashaka ubundi buryo bwo kuvura indwara nk'izo.

Byongeye kandi, ubushobozi bw'amababi bwo kugabanya amazi mu mubiri butuma aba amahitamo meza ku bantu bashaka kugumana amazi meza mu mubiri cyangwa kugabanya ibimenyetso bijyana no kubika amazi mu mubiri, nko kubyimba no kubyimba.

“Amababi ya Boldo amaze ibinyejana byinshi ari kimwe mu bigize ubuvuzi gakondo bwacu,” ibi ni ibyasobanuwe na Dr. Gabriela Sanchez, Umuyobozi w’Ikigo cya Chili gishinzwe Ubushakashatsi ku Miti n’Ibimera. “Ubu, twishimiye kubona ubushobozi bwabo bumenyekana ku rwego mpuzamahanga.”

Uko abantu barushaho kwiyumvamo ubuzima bwabo n'imibereho myiza, biteganijwe ko amababi ya boldo azarushaho gukundwa nk'uburyo busanzwe bwo gusimbura imiti ikoreshwa mu buvuzi. Bitewe n'uburyo bwihariye bwo guhuza ibyiza ku buzima n'ingaruka nke, atanga uburyo bwizewe kandi burambye bwo kuvura indwara zisanzwe.

Ku baguzi bashishikajwe no gushyira amababi ya boldo mu buzima bwabo bwa buri munsi cyangwa kumenya byinshi kuri iki gihingwa gishimishije, abacuruzi benshi bazwi kuri interineti ubu batanga ifu y’amababi ya boldo, icyayi, n’inyongeramusaruro nziza.

Mu gihe ubushakashatsi bukomeje kuvumbura uburyo bushya bwo gukoresha amababi ya boldo n'akamaro kayo, hari ikintu kimwe kigaragara - iki kimera gitangaje cyiteguye kuba umukinnyi ukomeye mu isi y'imiti karemano n'ubundi buvuzi.

Niba ushaka kumenya byinshi kuri iki gicuruzwa, nyamuneka hamagara ikigo cyacu utaziguye.
