Pomegranate juice may be a potential addition to anti-Behçet armamentarium: a hypothesis

Afshin Borhani Haghighi et al. Clin Rheumatol. 2007 Oct.

Abstract

Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis. We speculate that local or systemic administration of the pomegranate juice may be useful in the treatment of BD. Immunomodulatory, antioxidants and antibacterial characteristics of pomegranate juice may rationalize this hypothesis.
