10. Preventing Cancer
Different types of cancer have different causes, and it’s not always possible to prevent tumors. But some animal studies into asafoetida extract have found that it may help reduce and prevent some types of tumors.
Asafoetida also has an antioxidant effect, which may prevent cancer and heart disease. Some particles in the body, from either outside toxins or natural processes, can react in harmful ways that contribute to tumors and heart problems. Asafoetida has been shown to prevent these effects.1Amalraj, Augustine, and Sreeraj Gopi. ‘Biological Activities and Medicinal Properties of Asafoetida: A Review.’ Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine, Elsevier, 20 Dec. 2016, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5506628/
