In the hunt for new plant-based medicines, broccoli is a popular target. Has it been used as a medicine in the past?
We have discovered a wealth of data on broccoli in the ancient literature. Originally it was mainly used to treat gynecological disorders. Then from the 3rd century B.C. it was also used for digestive troubles, tetanus and possibly dropsy. In the 1st century A.D., skin infections were the most important illnesses treated with broccoli, followed by troubles of the digestive system.
