Re: Ficus Glabrata (Fig)

I was just wondering because it had mentioned it in the first link that I redid--it works now.. I was just searching to see what I could find on it in American products, and have found several with Ficin (digestive enzyme) in it...but then I found that figs themselves have enzymes in them- so I was confused. Someone on the P. Forum was asking about where to get Ficus Glabrata from this same article


but like it also says...different things are used in different cultures--(and what about the safety of them?)

From the 1st link in the above post:


Some herbal remedies have properties that are destructive to parasites such as roundworm. While many of these herbal remedies have been used traditionally by certain cultures, few have been scientifically tested for their safety and effectiveness. These herbal remedies include:

Fig (Ficus glabrata)

Studies of individuals with roundworm infections, including ascariasis, threadworm, whipworm, and hookworm, have suggested that daily doses of Ficus glabrata (an extract from a species of fig tree) may reduce roundworm egg production by up to 85 percent
