Plants and Herbs That May Protect Against Radiation

A research review examined the radioprotective potential of plants and herbs against ionizing radiation. As technology increases human exposure to radiation, the review surveyed botanical compounds studied for their ability to blunt radiation’s damaging effects on living tissue.

Why it matters: it connects to Dr. Dean’s Detox & Radiation theme — the idea that certain foods and herbs may help the body withstand modern exposures.
