Nopalea Cactus Goes Global
It grows in the deepest deserts and the hottest arid areas in Central and North America and can spread like wildfire in less than a few years. The Prickly Pear Cactus, once a native to that area now grows everywhere around the world. The plant dates back to the Aztecs, who used it as both a food and medicine. It is believed that the Spanish first brought the plant back to Europe and began to grow it there.
Once a plant that grew rampant, now it is carefully planted and harvested around the world for its health and medicinal properties.

It has become even more popular now that scientists have made a link between chronic inflammation and many other serious diseases, such as cancer, arthritis, and Alzheimer’s disease in addition to others.
It is believed that inflammation which is the body’s natural response to bacteria and invaders sometimes go haywire and work overtime. In other words, once it has done its job at fighting off infection it doesn’t turn off and essentially continues to attack, but only attacks the body since the invaders are destroyed.
It is believed that this condition, which is chronic inflammation, can lead to all sorts of diseases, illnesses, and ailments. The research is still being done, but there appears to be some underlying link between disease and chronic inflammation.
