Description Also known as Madagascar periwinkle or its scientific name Catharanthus roseus, this truly amazing herb, gives us 2 important substances in the fight against cancer, vinblastine and vincristine. Vinblastine has helped increase the chance of surviving childhood leukaemia from 10% to 95%, while vincristine is used to treat Hodgkin’s Disease. Periwinkle alkaloids have been used in the treatment of leukemia, Hodgkin’s disease, malignant lymphomas, neuroblastoma, Wilms tumour, Kaposi sarcoma, mycosis fungoides, to improve cerebral blood flow, and treat high blood pressure. Traditional Madagascan healers used the rosy periwinkle for treating diabetes. This led to its study by western scientists who then discovered its anti-cancer properties. Vinblastine and vincristine are now widely used pharmaceutical anticancer agents.
