Vanilla

Vanilla is a plant whose pod is usually used as a spice. However, vanilla is also used to make medicine.

Vanilla is used to treat flatulence and fever. It is also used as an aphrodisiac to increase sexual desire. Vanilla is a commonly used flavoring in beverages and foods, but it is also added to foods to reduce the amount of sugar needed for sweetening. Some people add vanilla to foods to stop tooth decay. In industrial manufacturing, vanilla is used as a flavoring agent in syrup used to make medicines. It is also used as a fragrance in perfume. Vanilla extract can be quite expensive. For this reason, artificially produced vanillin is often used as a substitute for real vanilla. Sometimes vanilla extracts are diluted with cheaper extracts.

How does vanilla work?

Vanilla contains chemicals that have a strong aroma and fragrance. However, it is not known how vanilla works when used medicinally.

How effective is vanilla?

There is not enough scientific data to make a statement about the effectiveness of vanilla for fever and flatulence. Further scientific research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of vanilla in these applications.

Safety and side effects

Vanilla is safe and harmless, but may have some side effects. Skin contact can cause skin irritation and inflammatory swelling. Vanilla can also cause headaches and sleep problems, especially in people who make and process vanilla extracts.

Precautions and warnings

Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Vanilla is safe and safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women in normal dietary quantities. However, larger medicinal amounts should be avoided until more is known about their safety.

Interactions

At this time, there is no information on interactions of vanilla with medications or supplements.

Dosage

An appropriate dosage of vanilla depends on various factors such as age, health status and others. At this time, there is insufficient scientific data to determine appropriate dosage ranges for vanilla. For this reason, you should follow the dosage instructions on the label and/or consult a doctor or pharmacist before use.
