Because they contain several medicinally active compounds, pomegranates may have a variety of health benefits. For example, because this fruit contains polyphenol, it may help to lower cholesterol and slow down the progression of atherosclerosis. However, even though it is a "natural" product, it may still cause side effects, such as allergic reactions. Make sure your healthcare provider is aware of any other medical conditions you have, as well as any other medications you are taking (including vitamins and herbal supplements) before using pomegranates medicinally.
