Rue: An Ancient Herb with Health Benefits
8. Colon Cancer Prevention
Ruta Chalepensis may be effective at preventing colon cancer. One study found that this variety of rue has a protective effect in people with early-stage colon cancer, though it did not have the same results in a group with advanced colon cancer.
Researchers believe that these results come from the antioxidative effects of rue and that it may be useful in preventing cancer or slowing the progression in the early stages.
