Its benefits include treatment of ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, colon cancer and Crohn disease.
The compounds of blue agave (the cactus used for making tequila) showed nice results in studies performed at the University of Guadalajara in Mexico.
This development could be the first step in better treatments for ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome and other conditions involving the colon.
The deliver of drugs in to the colon has been a challenge for the doctors dealing with colon and rectal diseases.
Many drugs are destroyed by acids at the stomach. This could be avoided by the compounds of tequila, a type of polysaccharide known as fructans (a fructose polymer). This compound resists the destruction in the stomach and could let that drugs reach the colon without problems.
“This study showed that the agave fruit is not good just for making tequila, but it’s good because of its medicinal value. Agave’s fructan is the ideal natural transporter of drugs”, said Guillermo Toriz.

lol…..I didn’t know there were very good benefits of Tequila. The plant extracts have many powerful health benefits also. When reffering to the colon it is very important to do a full cleanse once a year. Just as you would change your car’s oil every once in a while, you should clean your insides once in a while too.

I have to agree…
My boyfriend has a really irritable stomach. Beer,wine,and vodka all irritate his stomach, which causes him to be in the bathroom all night! Ever since his doctor told him to switch to tequila(such as patron)he rarely gets stomach pains and feels even better after drinking tequila ( in moderation :/ ). I have switched to drinking tequila, I find I fee better after drinking it as well. I only knew tequila for brands such as jose cuervo. Be sure to try drinking the higher end tequila. You will be very surprised ! It has a great taste.
Try this:
Tequila Sunrise on the Dessert
Patron
OJ
Splash of Pomegranate
Rim around the glass a mixture of Sugar,Salt,Cinnamon,and Cayenne Pepper
yummm… the flavors will take you on a journey through the dessert!
Wow! I have a problem vodka and beer irritate my stomach. May be I should tequila then! Good idea :)
I believe tequila has many other benefits besides the obvoius. When I take a shot in the winter, I feel warm all over. It is the only alcohol that does not make me tired however, too much and I find the irristable urge to fight. So, be careful. Speaking of the stomach, I have found that a couple shots of tequila kills any stomach virus. No, I have no medical studies and I swear I am not a tequila distributor but I know that this miracle liquor will kill any stomach virus…assuming you can keep it down long enough. With that said, I have recommended Tequila for all bodily problems. Look at it this way, if it does not cure what ails you, it will make you feel much better for the rest of the day.
