Als Neurologe hört man früher oder später die Frage eines Parkinson-Patienten, ob es sinnvoll wäre, die Erkrankung mit Juckbohnen zu behandeln. Wer gezielt nachfragt, wird überrascht sein, wie viele Patienten bereits neben der verschriebenen Medikation Kapseln mit Juckbohnenextrakt einnehmen. Etwas Hintergrundwissen könnte daher für die Beratung von Patienten hilfreich sein.
