It is high in antioxidants and in some studies has lowered LDL cholesterol levels. Pomegranate is used medicinally in cases of dyspepsia, diarrhea, dysentery, and leprosy. It has been used for centuries as an effective vermifuge, especially in cases of tapeworm infestation and other parasites present in the intestines.
