In this study, researchers from Kerala Agricultural University in India investigated the potential of pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan), a plant used in traditional Chinese medicine, against chronic inflammatory diseases, malaria, measles, and sickle cell disease. Their investigation of the molecular mechanisms behind its reported therapeutic activities was published in the journal Food Science and Human Wellness.
The researchers concluded that pigeon pea, particularly its seeds, is an invaluable source of therapeutic compounds that can be used in the treatment of multiple human diseases.
