Abstract(s)
A Gripe e a Constipação são as infecções respiratórias, contagiosas, mais comuns no Outono
e no Inverno . Podem parecer semelhantes, mas os vírus responsáveis pelas duas doenças são
distintos, assim como os sintomas.
A constipação trata-se de uma infecção das vias respiratórias superiores provocada por um
vírus, Rhinovirus, e, geralmente, é ligeira. A gripe é uma doença viral que afecta as vias
respiratórias. A transmissão do vírus Influenza A, B e C, é feita através das partículas
expelidas pela pessoa infectada quando espirra ou tosse.
A manifestação de uma gripe ou de uma constipação pode incluir um ou mais dos seguintes
sintomas: • Febre (mais elevada e de instalação súbita, no caso da gripe) • Cefaleia; •
Arrepios; • Mialgia; • Dores articulares (mais frequentes no caso da gripe); • Dor de garganta;
• catarro óculo-nasal; • Rinorreia abundante; • Outras (Perda de apetite, Diarreia e dores de
estômago).
Não há tratamento específico para a gripe, apenas para aliviar os sintomas da doença. A
melhor abordagem é mesmo a prevenção, sendo a vacinação uma das melhores formas de
prevenir a doença, particularmente importante para grupos de risco (ex. idosos). Melhorar a
resposta imunitária é outra abordagem para prevenir a gripe.
As plantas têm sido usadas desde sempre pelos seres humanos para tratar doenças ou
melhorar o desempenho físico. Panax ginseng é uma das mais conhecidas plantas medicinais
que tem sido usada desde há muito tempo. Evidências experimentais sugerem que o ginseng
modula o sistema imunológico do indivíduo e apresenta ainda acção anti-inflamatória.
Ginseng e/ou os seus componentes, como por exemplo, o ginsenósido protopanaxatriol têm
sido descritos como bons captadores de radicais livres e com acção sobre os sistemas de
defesa antioxidante, activando algumas enzimas (superóxido dismutase e enzimas glutationa
peroxidase).
Este trabalho pretende fazer uma revisão bibliográfica com base em publicações científicas
sobre a utilização de Panax ginseng na Gripe e Constipação.
Flu and common cold are respiratory infections, contagious, most commonly in autumn and winter. They may look similar, but the viruses responsible for the two diseases are distinct, as are the symptoms. Common cold is an infection of the upper respiratory tract caused by a virus, Rhinovirus, and is usually mild. Flu is a viral disease that affects the airways. Transmission of Influenza A, B and C virus is done through the particles expelled by the infected person when sneezing or coughing. Flu or common cold may include one or more of the following: • Fever (higher and sudden onset in the case of flu) • Headache; • Chills; • Myalgia; • Joint pain (more frequent in the case of the flu); • Sore throat; • Oculo-nasal catarrh; • Abundant rhinorrhea; • Other (loss of appetite, diarrhea and stomach cramps). There is no specific treatment for the flu, just to relieve the symptoms of the disease. The best approach is even prevention, with vaccination being one of the best ways to prevent the disease, particularly important for at-risk groups (e.g. the elderly). Improving the imune response is another approach to preventing influenza. Plants have long been used by humans to treat diseases or improve physical performance. Panax ginseng is one of the best known medicinal plants that has been used for a long time. Experimental evidence suggests that ginseng modulates the individual's immune system and also has anti-inflammatory action. Ginseng and / or its components, for example, ginsenoside protopanaxatriol have been described as good free radical scavengers acting on antioxidante defense systems, activating some enzymes (superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase enzymes). This work intends to make a systematic review based on scientific publications on the use of Panax ginseng in flu and common cold.
