Other medicinal effects
Schnittknoblauch (Allium tuberosum) gilt in China (TCM) und Japan (TJM) als Naturheilmittel und soll vielversprechend zur Krebsvorbeugung sein. Knoblauch-Schnittlauch ist verdauungsfördernd und appetitanregend und wirkt gegen Verstopfung (Obstipation). Die Blätter der Pflanze zeigen antibakterielle Wirkung. Ähnlich wie der Knoblauch (Allium sativum) oder Bärlauch (Allium ursinum) enthält die Pflanze den Wirkstoff Allicin, der das menschliche Immunsystem gegen Viren und Bakterien stärkt und nebenbei auch cholesterinsenkend, blutfettausgleichend und entzündungshemmend ist.
