Activities (Cottontree) – Antipyretic ; Laxative ; Sedative ; Stimulant . Jaundice The Benefit of using Yellow Dock Rock as a natural cure One of the most ideal ways to start with a clean slate when it comes to health is to do cleansing. As its name suggests, this means the removal of as much wastes as you can from the body, especially that nasty fecal matter that has been lodged in the intestine for too long. The most important rule about the fitness plan is to start with very light exercise and to increase the effort in gradual and easy stages. The sense of well-being will begin almost immediately. By 1980 investigators suspected a link between serotonin and eating disorders. This suspicion was confirmed with the discovery that the Serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine (Prozac) sometimes produced a side effect of weight loss. Later studies showed that Serotonin-enhancing drugs helped overeaters reduce snacking and lose weight; now the SSRis are being increasingly prescribed to suppress appetite in people who want to lose weight. Jaundice- Serotonin levels are increased during the intake of addictive substances, such as alcohol, tobacco, certain narcotics, and caffeine. When individuals attempt to kick these habits, they often develop a chemical withdrawal syndrome when serotonin levels plummet. Continue Reading →

Zedoary, also known as white turmeric and kentjur, is native to India and Indonesia. As with turmeric, the rhizome or root is the most valued part of the plant that is consumed. Learn more about zeodary. Impotence The Benefit of using Yohimbe as a natural cure Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Wild Yam) – Class 1. Large doses of tincture are emetic (AHP). While the medicinal yams may be so rich in saponins as to be distasteful, overconsumption is not to be recommended. Reichert (1996) reports GI distress in volunteers taking high doses of wild yam, after saying that the investigators (Araghiniknam et al, 1996) he was reviewing “noted no adverse effects.” Gruenwald warns that overdoses could lead to picrotoxin-like poisonings due to dioscorin (PHR).

A serious illness can take a toll on the body, and it often takes weeks or months to achieve a full recovery. A suitable choice of herbs can greatly enhance the recovery process, but you must match such herbs carefully to your circumstances. Recovering from illness also means taking things easy, eating nutritious food and resting a lot. The temptation may be to start charging around as soon as you feel better after taking some herbs.

Willow Bark

  • Comments Off on Willow Bark

Because of abortifacient and uterine activity caused by the thujone in the oil, its use in pregnancy and lactation is to be avoided. Contact dermatosis has been documented. May interfere with hypoglycemic and liver therapy. Therapeutic window only 2:5 (cf digitalis 1:2) (CAN). “The potential toxicity of this plant outweighs its benefits.” The lethal dosage is approximately 15-30 Angina, Arthritis, Toothache The Benefit of using Willow as a natural cure I am often asked, “What if I steep it longer than 4 weeks?” I’ve never seen a tincture turn ine?ec-tual if it is steeped longer. When all the constitu-ents are extracted from the plant, steeping it longer will not create a stronger e?ect. If you want to create a more potent tincture, perform a second or third round of maceration, adding new material each time: strain and remove the original marc (the herbal waste produced during the tincturing process), add new herbs to the already created tincture, secure the lid, and store it for 2 to 4 weeks, again shaking it every day. Food combining is designed to facilitate easier digestion. The chart in Table I, represents diagramatically food combining rules in an easy-to-follow method. Accompanying this chart are the lists of food in their correct classification. As we have seen, treatment with the Serotonin reuptake inhibitors can cause many side effects. In one study of 64 women who were treated with fluoxetine for PMS, 17% reported sexual dysfunction. It’s no wonder women are seeking an alternative treatment. Angina- Arthritis- Toothache- “has been found to be highly mutagenic in several in vitro studies” (AMA 3:13). Insufficient human data exist regarding safety in pregnancy and lactation.

The real cause of a cold, however, is the toxic condition of the body brought about by wrong feeding habits such as an excessive intake of starch, carbohydrates, proteins and other acid-forming foods. A cold is, therefore, nature’s simplest way of expelling toxic waste from the human system. The duration of the cold will depend on the amount of poisons accumulated in the body and the rapidity with which they are expelled. PMS The Benefit of using Yarrow as a natural cure Although 5-HTP is a safe alternative to Serotonin-enhancing drugs, several other compounds that increase Serotonin have received some very bad press. The first of these was tryptophan, the amino acid precursor to 5-HTP. During the 1970s and 1980s, this compound was the subject of many studies that found it to be as effective as the tricyclic compounds for treating Serotonin dysfunctions. The tryptophan used in supplements was manufactured in Japan through a process of bacterial fermentation. However, a bad batch of tryptophan, which contained a contaminant, was released by a single Japanese producer. This contaminant caused breakout of a terrible disorder called eosinophilia myalgia syndrome (EMS). As a result, the FDA banned the sale of all tryptophan in the American health food market. Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Mistletoe) – Class 2d. Contraindicated in protein hypersensitivity and chronic progressive infections such as AIDS and tuberculosis. Do not exceed recommended dose (2.5 g infused in cold water 10-12 hours, up to 2 ×/day) (AHP).”Hazards and/or side effects not known for proper therapeutic dosages” (PH2). “The drug is non-toxic with peroral administration” (PH2), and perhaps orally inefficacious too (BRU). Fatalities questionably reported from children ingesting berries (CRC). Commission E reports herb permitted only for parenteral injection. Contraindications: hypersensitivity to proteins, chronic progressive infections (e.g., tuberculosis); adverse effects: allergic and other reactions. Also reported the viscotoxins are not absorbed orally and may have necrotizing effects in higher doses (AEH). CAN cautions that M For prevention of anaemia, it is essential to take the entire B-complex range which includes B12, as well as the natural foods mentioned above. Eating lacto-avo products, which are complete proteins, and which also contain vitamin B12 is good insurance against the disease. Brewer’s yeast is a good source of complete protein. PMS- due to gossypol. Animals fed seed press cakes 3-4 weeks showed enterosis, gastrosis, hematuria, jaundice, nephritis, and ophthalmic disorders (PH2). Continue Reading →

White Birch Bark

The difference between an ordinary cold and flu is a question of severity of symptoms. Flu is caused by specific influenza viruses, strains of which can be quite virulent. People with flu usually experience high fever, severe coughing, muscle ache, headache and nausea. They often feel very weak, virtually unable to drag themselves out of bed. Flu usually lasts longer than a cold, and can leave you exhausted and depressed for weeks afterwards. Flu can be a serious disease and requires vigorous treatment. Antioxidant, Cancer, Digestion, Flu Virus, Tooth Decay The Benefit of using Wheat Grass as a natural cure Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Licorice) – Class 2b, 2c, 2d. “Contraindicated in heart disease, diabetics, hypertensives, hepatoses, and nephroses” (O’Brien, 1998). Commission E reports contraindications: cholestatic liver diseases, liver cirrhosis, hypertension, hypokalemia, severe renal insufficiency, and pregnancy. May potentiate thiazide diuretics, stimulant laxatives, cardiac glycosides, and cortisol (AHP; WAM). Too much (>50 g/day) can raise the blood pressure, cause sodium and water retention, and lower potassium levels too far. May result in pseudoaldosterianism. Adverse effects reported in M30: amenorrhea, cardiac arrest, congestive Acid reflux can happen to anyone: to your baby, wife, husband, daughter, son, acquaintance. It may be so common that it’s easily passed off as something “normal”. But we know now that it isn’t. Moreover, as long as we continue to ignore it and not seek treatment, it will continue to haunt us over and over again. The condition can easily get worse, and before we know it, we are on the verge of suffering from a serious digestive-system-related illness. After the all-fruit diet, the patient can gradually adopt a well- balanced diet. Emphasis should be on raw foods, especially fresh fruits and vegetables ; sprouted seeds, raw nuts and whole grain cereals, particularly millet and brown rice. Further short periods on the all-fruits diet for three days or so may be necesssary at a monthly interval, till the skin’s condition improves. Antioxidant-

Selenium and vitamin E are synergistic and the two together are stronger than the sum of the equal parts. Selenium slows down ageing and hardening of tissues through oxidation. Males seem to have a greater need for this mineral. Nearly half of the total supply in the body is concentrated in the testicles and in the seminal ducts adjacent to the prostate gland.

Slender, square, upright stems, 6 to 18 inches. Rough, hairy, lanceolate leaves are 2 to 3 inches long. Purple- red flowers are borne on a terminal spike. Grows in thickets and dry open woods. Perennial. Grow in any soil, sun to part shade. Zones 4-9. Colon The Benefit of using Usk as a natural cure A tincture is the best way to take this herb. In my experience the dosage can vary a lot depending on how sensitive a particular individual is. My general advice is to try the minimum dose to begin with, but if you don’t notice the effect after half an hour take another minimum dose. Next time you use valerian you can try the larger dose straight away. If you feel tired after a dose, you have taken too much (unless you use it as a sleep remedy). I recommend that you use a concentrated tincture: 1:1 strength. Activities (Chaulmoogra) – Anthelminthic ; Antibacterial ; Antiinflammatory ; Antipyretic ; Antiseptic ; Antitumor ; CNS-Depressant ; CNS-Stimulant ; Cyanogenic ; Emetic ; Laxative ; Lipolytic ; Parasiticide ; Piscicide ; Sedative .

Assists in breast milk production Blessed this-tle has been used for centuries to activate the mammary glands to increase breast milk supply. Research indicates it is still one of the most com – monly chosen herbs for this use. Galactagogues, or herbs that increase breast milk supply, work by increasing the hormone prolactin in the body, therefore increasing milk production. Asthma, Bacterial Infections, Bronchitis, Chest Congestion, COPD, Depression Mild, Emphysema, Fungal Infections, Gas Flatulence, Gastritis, Indigestion, Lungs, Poor Digestion, Postnasal Drip, Sinus, Stomach Upset, Tooth Decay, Tuberculosis, Upset Stomach, Yeast Infections The Benefit of using Thyme as a natural cure Because of the anthraquinones, nonstandardized preparations should be avoided during pregnancy and lactation (CAN). “Anthraquinones may be secreted into breast milk.” Also contraindicated in arthrosis, hemorrhoids, and nephropathy (CAN), intestinal obstruction, abdominal pain of unknown causes, any enterosis (appendicitis, colitis, Crohns disease, and irritable bowel syndrome), hemorrhoids, nephropathy, menstruation (AHP), and urethrosis (CAN). Not for use in cases of diarrhea or abdominal pain. Discontinue use if diarrhea or watery stools occur. Consult a health care provider in cases of pregnancy or lactation. Not for long-term use, use more than 8-10 days, or overdosage (AHP, CAN). Rhubarb leaves, high in oxalic acid, should not be eaten (CAN). One case of anaphylaxis following ingestion reported (CAN). Contains 4-11% stilbene derivatives, which pose such risks that the herb “can no longer be recommended” (SHT). While widely used, anthranoid-containing laxatives can be habit-forming; some contain compounds suspected of being cytotoxic, genotoxic, mutagenic, and even tumorigenic. Epidemiological studies in Germany reveal that abusers of anthranoid laxatives have a three times higher rate of colon carcinoma (AEH). Persuasive research by Harvard Medical School scientists has shown that diets rich in refined carbohydrates and carbohydrate-dense vegetables and grains increase CRP levels and inflammation. In the study, potatoes, breakfast cereals, white bread, muffins, and white rice were most strongly associated with elevated CRP levels. As with diabetes, it is essential that a person exercise the responsibility to choose healthier foods, such as those recommended in the Anti-Inflammation Syndrome Diet Plan. Such a diet should emphasize nutrient-dense lean meats (such as chicken and turkey), fish, and vegetables, while deem-phasizing calorie-dense sugary foods and grain-based carbohydrates. Sesame seeds are used extensively in Asian and African dishes. They may be baked into snacks, used to flavor soups, and sprinkled onto salads and meats. Consumers are also used to seeing the seeds on buns, bagels and breads.

Because this book is about inflammation, the emphasis in our brief examination of food history will be on how the diet has shifted from relatively balanced to clearly pro-inflammatory. Three major periods of dietary change have occurred: the agricultural revolution, the industrial revolution, and the convenience/fast-food revolution. All of these changes have been characterized by two basic trends: (1) through a variety of processing and refining methods, the modern diet less and less resembles our evolutionary diet, and (2) the majority of foods sold in supermarkets less and less resemble their original appearance in nature. An occasional steam bath for eight minutes is of outstanding value in both syphilis and gonorrhoea.

Siberian Ginseng

Usually, unless we’re among those hotheads we’ve just described, our anger and frustration are caused by very real and inescapable problems. Most mild anger is not misplaced, and often it’s a healthy, natural response to everyday problems. It only adds to our frustration to find out that every problem doesn’t have a satisfactory solution. The best attitude we can maintain in such a situation is to focus on how to best handle and face the problem. People who cope usually have the attitude “Make the best of the situation” or “Make lemonade out of the lemons!” When a problem arises, resolve to give it your best effort at solution, but also promise not to punish yourself if an answer doesn’t present itself right away. If you can approach any problem with your best intentions and efforts and make a serious attempt to face it, you’ll be much less likely to lose patience and end up in angry frustration.

Then stand up, bend forward, insert the middle and index fingers of the right hand into the mouth until they touch the uvulva. Tickle it until you feel a vomiting sensation. The saline water thus ejected will bring up bile and other toxic matter with it. Repeat the process till all the water is vomitted out. This should be done once a week or as and when necessary. Bowels, Colon, Flu Virus, Indigestion, Insomnia, Skin Issues, Ulcers The Benefit of using Slippery Elm as a natural cure This bath can be given from 15 to 60 minutes at a temperature ranging from 260C to 280C. It can be given for long duration, without any ill-effects, as the water temperature is akin to the body temperature. The neutral bath diminishes the pulse rate without modifying respiration.

The most common cause of halitosis is bad teeth and gum conditions. Dental decay at the roots of the teeth may result in abscesses in the gums with foul-smelling, pus giving an objectionable odour to the breath. Even small holes in the teeth may provide a place where germs can multiply and release foul orders. Pain starting two or three days before the flow usually shows that the ovaries are not functioning properly. This is a glandular misfunction and a carefully planned natural diet will usually put matters right. For local treatment, hot sip baths on alternate nights for a week before the period is due will be highly beneficial. Between periods, cold hip baths will increase the tone of the ovaries.

Though approving pure turpentine for “Chronic disease of the bronchii with heavy secretion” (which I translate to bronchosis), Commission E contraindicates for acute inflammation of the respiratory tract. Inhaled turpentine may reduce bronchial secretion (KOM). Even topical application to too much surface area may damage the CNS and kidneys (KOM). Turpentine is a counterirritant and rubefacient. Though also taken internally, turpentine might best be relegated to topical uses, if any. Varicose Veins The Benefit of using Rue as a natural cure Let me tell you about a college friend. He and I were close buddies, and as such, we normally dined together. Since the time I first knew him though, he regularly complained about “that burning feeling down my throat”.  If he were to describe it, he would say the feeling was similar to drinking lots of carbonated sodas.

Leave in place for a few hours, ideally overnight. Use a smaller piece of cotton wool for children, and check periodically whether it is still in place. High blood pressure or hypertension – to give it the correct medical term – is regarded as the silent killer. It is a disease of the modern age. The fast pace of life and the mental and physical pressures caused by the industrial and metropolitan environments give rise to psychological tensions. Worry and mental tension increases the adrenaline in the blood stream and this, in turn, causes the pressure of the blood to rise. In migraine, there is a need to increase serotonin or stimulate Serotonin type-1 receptors and to block or lower dopamine. Supplements of 5-HTP may help by making the Serotonin precursor available. A few studies have found that 5-HTP may also be able to prevent migraines. Colitis- The inflammatory lesions may be either acute erosive gastritis or chronic atrophic gastritis.

If you are pregnant, you should avoid such amounts because they can cause uterine contractions” (Castleman, 1996). The Herbal PDR scares the pants off us by saying large doses of rosemary leaves (more likely the oil), inadvisedly have been used to attempt abortion, may lead to coma, gastroenterosis, nephrosis, pulmonary edema, spasm, uterine bleeding, vomiting, and even to death.

Uric stones occur in patients who have an increased uric acid in the blood and increased uric acid exertion in the urine. Since uric acid is an end product of purine metabolism, foods with a high purine content such as sweet bread, liver and kidney should be avoided. Bad Breath The Benefit of using Parsley as a natural cure Upon arising :- A glass of lukewarm water mixed with the juice of a half a lemon and a teaspoon of honey, or a glass of freshly squeezed juice of any available seasonable fruit such as apple, pineapple, orange, sweet lime and grapes. I love making herbal oils. When infused in oil, herbs create the most lovely colors and scents, and there are so many ways to use them. Herbal oils are made of herbs infused into a base such as olive, almond, avocado, jojoba, grapeseed, apricot, or castor oil. Not to be confused with essential oils, which are made through a distillation process that captures the volatile oils of an herb, medicinal herbal oils extract all the physical constituents of a plant into the oil medium. Contraindicated in uterorrhagia. Doses >2-4 g may cause diarrhea and nephrosis. French permit only external application (AHP). Undiluted tincture may produce burning and local irritation (AEH).

For example, amyloid beta protein, which strangles brain cells in Alzheimer’s disease, releases large numbers of free radicals that injure brain cells, according to research by Ashley I. Bush, M.D., Ph.D., a neu-rology researcher at Harvard Medical School. In an experiment with brain cells from rats, Allan Butterfield, Ph.D., a professor of chemistry at the University of Kentucky, Lexington, found that vitamin E prevented the formation of free radicals in brain cells and protected them from the toxic effects of amyloid beta protein. The benefits of vitamin E were demonstrated by Mary Sano, Ph.D., of Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, in a study of 342 patients with advanced Alzheimer’s disease.

He suspected that part of Thomas’ problem was anxiety due to his unwanted retirement. He also knew that Thomas had had very poor eating habits for most of his life and was probably not getting all the nutrients his body needed to slip easily into sleep. He sent Thomas home with instructions to include a multimineral and vitamin supplement at each meal and to take 100 mg of 5-HTP one hour before bed time.

Dill is an annual herb that is in the same plant family as celery. It is commonly used for pickling and served with salmon.  It loses flavor quickly so it is best used fresh.  It is easy to grow and has many medicinal uses too.  Read more about dill here.

People with high CRP levels are 41?2 times more likely to experience a heart attack than are people who have normal levels. Arterial lesions containing CRP are unstable and highly likely to lead to breakaway fragments and clots. It is this relationship between CRP and heart disease, perhaps more than any other recent event, that has raised the medical consciousness of the role of inflammation in heart disease and other diseases.

Blumenthal, Foster, and Pedersen all make the case that early on, some, many, or most of the earlier studies leading to the new fame for echinacea were really performed on Parthenium. Athletes Foot, Herpes, Ulcers, Varicose Veins The Benefit of using Marigold as a natural cure Drink shepherd’s purse tea on a daily basis (for precautions see page 140). Adults only: 2-3 cups a day. Water is the best way to stay hydrated. In fact, many other liquids, such as sodas, tea and coffee, tend to dehydrate you. They are also not as good for you as plain old water. While this might seem boring, what water does for your body is anything but. Star anise is widely used in China, India and Indonesia for such traditional dishes as garam masala and pho. It is one of the ingredients of the five-spice powder that is a staple of Chinese cooking. Athletes Foot- Herpes- Ulcers- Varicose Veins- Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Castor) – Class 2b, 2d.

Mountain grape has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial actions that make it very useful for skin problems. Activities (White Spruce) – Antibacterial ; Antiseptic ; Antispasmodic ; Diuretic ; Bronchospasmolytic ; Expectorant ; Irritant ; Pulmonary ; Rubefacient ; Secretolytic . A teaspoonful of coriander juice, mixed with a pinch of turmeric powder, is another effective home remedy for pimples and blackheads. The mixture should be applied to the face after thoroughly washing it, every night before retiring. Gastritis- GERD- Immunity- Irritable Bowel Syndrome- Kidneys- Sore Throat- Ulcers- Careful observation is needed to link particular events with eczema flare-ups. Often a selective exclusion of the most allergenic items is enough to clear eczema completely. If that doesn’t work you can try both internal and external treatment, but you must proceed very carefully as many herbs have the potential for making eczema worse. Internal treatment usually consists of anti-inflammatory and detoxifying herbs; sometimes an immune modulator and a relaxant for the nervous system are also called for. External treatment consists of a healing cream, but you must be very cautious and try each cream on a small area to begin with. It is not uncommon to develop a reaction to a cream that was working very well to begin with, and sometimes you may need two or three different creams used in rotation. Continue Reading →

There are three phases to a normal, restful breath: inhalation, exhalation, and a pause at the bottom of the exhalation. As you have already learned, the inhalation is the only active portion of breathing.

They are now dubbed as ” the nutrients of the 80’s” and “medical foods”. Hay fever: like eczema and asthma, this requires an individual approach combined with adjustments to the diet and the patient’s environment. The only device that I have come across that I like is the Frolov device, or the U.S. knock-off (for half the price) called BreathSlim. This device uses water to provide resistance for either the inhalation or the exhalation or both. And I find that resistance on exhalation is often far more beneficial than resistance on the inhalation. That is because the gentle resistance on exhalation trains the muscles in the chest and abdomen to relax. Kidney Stones- Clumps of flimsy stems, 4 to 6 inches, are covered in fine hairs on one side.

Kidney, Memory, Skin Issues The Benefit of using Holy Basil as a natural cure Massage tea tree essential oil into the painful areas over the eyebrows and on the cheeks (for precautions see page 118). Adults: dilute 5 drops of the essential oil in 10ml of almond oil, massage 1-3 times a day. However, your body’s immune system almost immediately recognizes these bacteria as foreign and unleashes a coordinated attack to contain and stop the infection. Inflammation encourages tiny blood vessels in your finger to dilate, allowing a variety of white blood cells to leak out, track, and engulf bacteria. Some of these white blood cells also pick up and destroy cells damaged by the cut. In addition, inflammation signals the body to grow new cells to seal the cut. Within a day or two your cut finger becomes less inflamed, and a few days later it is completely healed. On the other hand the urine should be kept alkaline if oxalate and uric acid stones are being formed. In this diet, fruits and vegetables should be liberally used and acid-forming foods should be kept to the minimum necessary for satisfactory nutrition. When the stones contain oxalate, foods with high oxalic acid content should be avoided. These foods include almonds, beetroots, brinjal, brown bread, cabbage, cherry, chocolate, French Beans, potatoes, radish, spinach and soyabeans.

The resulting inflammation, characterized by swelling, pain, and stiffness, is designed to remove damaged muscle cells and help initiate the healing process to replace those cells. Again, within a few days the inflammation decreases and you are well on the road to recovery.

Gum Guggul

Forgetting has its useful function, too. Since there is no need for everything to be stored in our brains, the different stages of human memory help to filter out what isn’t too important. Since important things get used or thought about more, those are the things that get upgraded to longer-term memories. This helps to protect us from the flood of information coming our way every day, every hour, every minute! Constipation, Diarrhea, Gastritis The Benefit of using Guar Gum as a natural cure Chuck has always had a short temper. He was known as a bully in school and has had trouble keeping girlfriends. He has no patience when caught in traffic and often swears and curses at other drivers. After the death of his father, Chuck became very depressed over the quality of his life. His family doctor feels he should take an antidepressant, but Chuck feels very uneasy about taking drugs. A neutral or warm water enema is an effective remedy for a constipated colon which is a major cause for the toxaemic condition of the uterus. This will relieve the bowels and thus reduce any excessive pressure on the uterus and other pelvic organs. A regular cold hip bath for a duration of 10 minutes twice every day is very helpful in relieving congestion and inflammation of the uterus. Wet girdle packs, twice every day, on an empty stomach, also relieve congestion’s and infections in the uterus and other pelvic organs. It is advisable that women with a history of repeated abortions should adopt these techniques before conception and continue them during the first two months of pregnancy. Although these studies sound impressive, they suffer from one severe weakness: They were open studies. This means that the participants knew they were taking 5-HTP. As has been shown in innumerable studies, the power of suggestion will produce favorable effects in a high percentage of people who know, or falsely believe, that they are taking a real treatment. Thus, the studies described here can’t be taken as conclusive. Constipation- Diarrhea- Gastritis- Sometimes people with chronic hepatitis may be asymptomatic, and at other times they may experience extreme fatigue and loss of appetite. In both acute and chronic hepatitis liver enzymes become elevated-one sign of liver disease. Noninfectious hepatitis may result from drug or alcohol abuse. Often, the stress of hepatitis reduces levels of glutathione, one of the body’s principal antioxidants, which is made in the liver. The viral and inflammatory stresses, combined with low glutathione levels, compromise liver function and may lead to cirrhosis or liver failure. Continue Reading →

Extracts (Bilberry) – Flavonoids antiaggregant, antiinflammatory, antioxidant, antispasmodic, preserve capillaries and collagen (PED). Anthocyanosides inhibited barium-induced contraction of isolated thoracic vein and coronary artery smooth muscle, in vitro, possibly by vasodilatory prostaglandin production (PNC). Chromium content (of the leaves) may underlie antidiabetic activity (PHR). Anthocyanins and polyphenols in berries of several Ribes, Rubus, and Vaccinium spp. have in vitro antiradical activity on chemically generated superoxide radicals. The extracts also inhibit xanthine oxidase. All crude extracts were highly active toward chemically generated superoxide radicals. Ribes nigrum extracts exhibited most activity, being the richest in both anthocyanins and polyphenols. But Ribes rubrum extracts seem to contain more active substances (X1332092).

Certainly, vitamin E has important health roles beyond that of just a mild and safe anti-inflammatory nutrient. It is the body’s principal fat-soluble antioxidant and, as such, blocks free-radical oxidation to cholesterol, which stimulates inflammation and is one of the initia-tors of heart disease. As an anticoagulant, vitamin E helps prevent abnormal blood clots.

Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy, often called BPH, refers to enlargement of the prostate gland in men. It is also referred to as adenofibromyomatous hyperplasia, and is found in most men to some degree after the age of 45. Unfortunately most men will suffer some degree of BPH once they reach middle age or older. Enlarging prostatic growth usually begins at approximately age 30 years in otherwise healthy men, and an estimated 50% of men have evidence of BPH by age 50 years, and 75% by age 80 years. In only about 40% to 50% of these patients, does BPH become clinically significant.

Because of the anthraquinones, nonstandardized preparations should be avoided during pregnancy and lactation (CAN). “Anthraquinones may be secreted into breast milk.” Also contraindicated in arthrosis, hemorrhoids, and nephropathy (CAN), intestinal obstruction, abdominal pain of unknown causes, any enterosis (appendicitis, colitis, Crohns disease, and irritable bowel syndrome), hemorrhoids, nephropathy, menstruation (AHP), and urethrosis (CAN). Not for use in cases of diarrhea or abdominal pain. Discontinue use if diarrhea or watery stools occur. Consult a health care provider in cases of pregnancy or lactation. Not for long-term use, use more than 8-10 days, or overdosage (AHP, CAN). Rhubarb leaves, high in oxalic acid, should not be eaten (CAN). One case of anaphylaxis following ingestion reported (CAN). Contains 4-11% stilbene derivatives, which pose such risks that the herb “can no longer be recommended” (SHT). While widely used, anthranoid-containing laxatives can be habit-forming; some contain compounds suspected of being cytotoxic, genotoxic, mutagenic, and even tumorigenic. Epidemiological studies in Germany reveal that abusers of anthranoid laxatives have a three times higher rate of colon carcinoma (AEH). Obesity The Benefit of using Grapefruit Pectin as a natural cure There is an overlap in herbal use for the improvement of general energy levels and the improvement of levels of stamina and endurance. I suggest that you read Chapter 17 to see if any of the described herbs and herbal strategies are applicable to your individual circumstances. Enzymes form part of the food we eat. Raw foods contain enzymes in abundance ; cooking, pasteurising, pickling, smoking and other processings denature enzymes. It is, therefore, essential to include in our diet, substantial amount of raw foods in the form of fruits, raw salads and sprouts. Studies have revealed that the body without sufficient raw materials from raw foods, may tire and produce fewer enzymes year after year. This may lead to wearing out of body processes and consequent worn-out looks. The red colouring matter, called haemoglobin is a protein which is composed of an organic iron-compound called “heme”. The globin is a sulphur -bearing protein which makes up 96 per cent of the molecule. The formation of haemoglobin thus depends on adequate dietary supplies of iron and protein. Red cells have a lifespan of approximately 120 days and are destroyed and replaced daily. Each person should have 100 per cent haemoglobin or about 15 grams to 100 cc of blood, and a blood count of five million red cells per millimeter. A drop in the hemoglobin content results in anaemia and a consequent decreased ability of the blood to carry oxygen to the tissues. Obesity- A feature which distinguishes enzymes from inorganic catalysts is that they are absolutely specific in their actions. This means that a particular enzyme can cause reactions involving only a particular type of substance or a group of closely related substances. The substance on which the enzyme acts is known as “substrate”. The specificity of an enzyme is, however, related to the formation of the enzyme-substrate complex which requires that the appropriate groupings of both substrate and enzyme should be in correct relative position. The substrate must fit the enzyme like a key fits its lock. Continue Reading →

As in the case of most diseases, poisons in the blood stream due to dietetic errors and a faulty style of living is the real cause of cataract. The toxic matter in the blood stream spreads throughout the body to find shelter in any available weak spot. It strikes the lens if that part has become weak through strain, excessive use of the eyes and local irritation. The condition becomes worse with the passage of time and then a cataract starts developing. Other causes of cataract are stress and strain, excessive intake of alcoholic drinks,sugar,salt, smoking, certain physical ailments such as gastro-intestinal or gall- bladder disturbance, diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, especially of vitamin C , fatty acid intolerance, ageing, radiation and side- effects of drugs prescribed for other diseases.

Dr. Alessio Fasano received the Linus Pauling Award for his research on the effect of gliadin. When gliadin is present, substances foreign to the body can escape the intestinal tract and enter the bloodstream. An increased intestinal permeability is signaled by the protein zonulin and high levels of it are increased in a lot of people without celiac disease but even more so in those that have it. Thus an autoimmune reaction (whereby an immune response targets the body’s own organs) can take place. There are plenty of autoimmune disorders that can come with consumption of gliadin rich food, i.e. wheat, such as autoimmune pancreatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes among many others. So you should be aware that gluten is not the only problem. None of this leading to autoimmunity requires the presence of celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. The abnormal intestinal permeability induced by gliadin develops in 80-90% of the people, so you are very likely to be affected as well. Continue Reading →

Pelvic inflammatory disease: strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory herbs need to be used, so this is best done under supervision. Endometriosis The Benefit of using False Unicorn as a natural cure Holding the breath on inhalation or exhalation is unlikely to put a great deal of stress on the lungs, if one is not hyperventilating. They usually appear as emotional upsets and can pass almost unnoticed. These spells of emotional upsets gradually increase in duration, when other symptoms also appear. These include loss of power of concentration, depression and weeping. The patient appears to be very easily irritated. The approach of a nervous breakdown is often suspended. Dissolves blood clots Matthew Wood (2008) has used sage in his clinical practice to treat blood clots. His experience is that sage dissolves clots safely without dislodging them, which would be the biggest concern with such treatment. Sage has a strong cardiovascular e?ect and has also been used to reduce painful varicose veins. Although I have no clinical experience with this, I would find it interesting to see its results on pathologies such as hemorrhagic cysts or endo-metriosis. It is also considered a heart tonic. Calms anxiety Sage has traditionally been used to calm overly excited states such as nervousness, anxiety, and tremors.

Eucalyptus Tea

  • Comments Off on Eucalyptus Tea

While I consider slippery elm safer than coffee, LRNP (March 1991) says, “preparations of slippery elm had been used as abortifacients.” Perhaps they refer to Foster and Duke, who note slivers of bark being used mechanically to induce an abortion, sort of the herbal coat hanger. Oleoresins from several elm species can cause dermatosis. Pollen is allergenic (CRC; LRNP, March 1991). But even conservative CAN says, “it would appear to be non-toxic.” The copious mucilage of the inner bark justifies its use as antitussive, demulcent, and emollient (CAN). Chest Congestion, Colds and Flu, Emphysema, Lungs, Postnasal Drip, Respiratory Problems, Sinus, Tuberculosis The Benefit of using Eucalyptus Leaf as a natural cure In regard to muscles used for breathing, there are a handful of scenarios that can present themselves. Again, the ideal is when the abdomen moves while the chest is relatively still. The abdomen should move down and out slightly on inhalation, and it should return to a neutral position on exhalation. However, other dysfunctional patterns can and do often occur. One such pattern is for both the abdomen and the chest to expand on inhalation. While a small expansion in the chest is not normally problematic, an exaggerated expansion indicates overuse of the intercostal muscles and hyperventilation. Side effects are a constant problem with conventional antidepressants. Up until the late ’80s, the major drugs used to treat depression were in the tricyclic family. These drugs produced many side effects that limited their use, such as daytime sleepiness and lethargy, dry eyes and mouth, dizziness on standing up, and weight gain. Garlic is another herb that can be used for many health problems. It is a great improver of the circulation, and can prevent the development of clogged up arteries in people who are in a high-risk category (e.g. having a family history of heart disease, being overweight, smoking and having a high-calorie diet). It can help to bring high blood pressure down and keep your cholesterol low, and it also reduces blood clotting, so it can be very useful for people with a history of blood clots.

Sprouting is an excellent way of consuming seeds, beans and grains in their raw form in the process of sprouting the nutritional value is multiplied, new vitamins are created and the protein quality is improved. Persuasive research by Harvard Medical School scientists has shown that diets rich in refined carbohydrates and carbohydrate-dense vegetables and grains increase CRP levels and inflammation. In the study, potatoes, breakfast cereals, white bread, muffins, and white rice were most strongly associated with elevated CRP levels. As with diabetes, it is essential that a person exercise the responsibility to choose healthier foods, such as those recommended in the Anti-Inflammation Syndrome Diet Plan. Such a diet should emphasize nutrient-dense lean meats (such as chicken and turkey), fish, and vegetables, while deem-phasizing calorie-dense sugary foods and grain-based carbohydrates.

Alternatively, you can try inhaling through the device and exhaling through the nose for a while to become comfortable with that. By doing so, you will be making it easier because you will not be increasing the dead space, meaning the concentration of carbon dioxide in the inhaled air will be normal.

(DEP) Kidneys- It is essential to remember that nutrients-chiefly vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fats-are the building blocks of your entire body. They form not just your skeleton, skin, and organs, but are also the basis of your hormones and the thousands of biochemicals involved in forming new cells and tissue, healing injuries, and creating energy. Chronically low levels of nutrients or imbalances among nutrients can inhibit essential biochemical reactions and plant the seeds for degenerative diseases later in life. Yet as fundamental as nutrition is in health-and even in genetics-physicians routinely take the diets of their patients for granted. They assume that their patients are adequately nourished unless they display outright symptoms of now-rare classic vitamin deficiency diseases. Continue Reading →

Since 5-HTP is an excellent stress-reducer, it may give you a deeper sleep, free of tension. If all things were equal, trans fatty acids would dampen production of both the body’s pro- and anti-inflammatory compounds. However, it appears that trans fatty acids inhibit more of the enzymes needed by the anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids than those involved with the omega-6 fatty acids. The consequence is that trans fatty acids interfere to a greater extent with the body’s anti-inflammatory compounds. Cystitis- Genito-Urinary Ailments- Gout- Kidneys- Urinary Tract Problems- Venereal Disease- Water Retention- The best way, however, to prevent or overcome allergies is to strengthen the overall physical resistance so as not to fall an easy prey to every allergen that comes along. To start with, the patient should fast on fresh fruit juices for four or five days. Repeated short juice fasts are likely to result in better tolerance to previous allergies. After the fruit juice fast, the patient can take a mono diet of vegetables or fruits such as carrots, grapes or apples, for one week. After that one more food is added to the mono diet. A week later the third food is added and so on. After four weeks, the protein foods can be introduced, one at a time. In case an allergic reaction to a newly introduced food is noticed, it should be discontinued and a new food tried. In this way all real allergens can be eventually eliminated from the diet.

Koidz., E. wasabi Maxim., Lunaria japonica Miq., Wasabia pungens Matsum., W. wasabi (Maxim.) Makino. A typical dose of 5-HTP for depression is 100 mg three times a day, starting at 25 or 50 mg and then working up. The full effects take about four weeks to develop, so be patient. You also need to keep in mind the herb-to-wa-ter ratio: 1 part herb to 5 parts water. Remember that weight ounces are di?erent from fluid ounces, and don’t confuse weight measurements with volume measurements. For example, if you weigh 1 ounce of horehound leaf, you must put it into a measuring cup and measure the volume to determine how much water to add. So if the horehound measures 6 ounces in the measuring cup, you’ll add 30 ounces of water (6 × 5 = 30). Distilled water is best, because it does not contain trace minerals that can contaminate the syrup. Asthma- Colds- Fatigue- The digestive system responds well to remedies that come into direct contact with its lining (mucous membrane). As the digestive system has a large surface area, it is logical to use remedies that come in large volumes in order to maximise such contact. Therefore teas are preferable to tinctures for stomach or bowel problems. If you use a tincture for digestive ailments, dilute it with a full glass of lukewarm water. Continue Reading →

Again, practice makes perfect. The more we practice a thing, repeat it, think about it, write it, the more attention we give it. And each time we repeat it, the neural pathway carrying the memory gets strengthened and more firmly encoded or changed from a visual or aural or otherwise sensed experience into electronic codes to be stored, in a manner that is not unlike the way your computer stores its information into memory. And the more we practice, the easier it is to recall the material or bring it out of storage. Keep an eye on the temperature and, if necessary, bring it down by measures described in the Fever entry, page 108. This food element is necessary for the manufacture of glandular hormone secretions. It prevents the building of excessive fat and auto-intoxication. Chlorine regulates the blood’s alkaline -acid balance and works with Potassium in a compound form.

A fluid extract of the seeds is more powerful than the raw vegetable. This also has a tonic action on the stomach and kidneys.

The intake of water should be as plentiful as possible. Nothing should be added to the water except a little lemon juice, if desired. The water may be taken cold or hot and it should be taken every hour or so when awake. This will greatly increase the flow of urine. If the doorbell or phone ringing causes an adrenaline rush and gets you upset, that is a far cry from jumping when some one unexpectedly bursts a balloon and causes you to react.

The majority of herbs carry an extremely low risk of side effects when compared with pharmaceuticals. But, although all plant medicines are natural, it would be naive to assume that they are all equally safe – some should be taken only with the guidance of a qualified medical herbalist. You must treat herbs with respect as you would any medicine: stick to the recommended dosage and make sure your information comes from suitably qualified professionals. Blood Pressure, Depression Mild, Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure, Hypertension, Water Retention The Benefit of using Cocoa as a natural cure The first sign of mumps is swelling and pain. The pain is first felt under one ear with stiffness of the neck and jaw. There is a slight fever which subsides in three or four days. The swelling appears first under one jaw and then extends under the other jaw. The gland becomes tender on pressure. On account of the pressure of the swelling, mastication and swallowing becomes difficult.

Cholesterol High, Dyspepsia, Gall Bladder, Indigestion, Jaundice, Kidneys, Lack of Appetite, Poor Digestion, Stomach Upset, Upset Stomach The Benefit of using Chicory Root as a natural cure But the actual story is different. Humans require both oxygen and carbon dioxide. Viewing carbon dioxide as a waste product is overly simplistic. Although we typically exhale more carbon dioxide than we inhale, it is not true that we exhale pure carbon dioxide, as is commonly misunderstood. If that was the case, then artificial respiration would not work. Air on earth at sea level contains about 21 percent oxygen and 0.04 percent carbon dioxide, whereas the average air exhaled by humans contains 14 percent oxygen and 5 percent carbon dioxide. In both cases, the vast majority of air is composed of nitrogen. It may be OK in the U.K. and Germany to call Tsuga canadensis “Pinus bark” colloquially as does GMH and PH2. I prefer Hemlock or Canada Pitch (JAD). Epilepsy denotes electrical malfunctioning within the brain due to damage of brain cells or some inherited abnormality. There are many causes of epilepsy.

He regards this amino acid as ‘ anti-cancer and anti-ageing’ and claims that like vitamin C, cysteine protects the body from damage by oxidants. Continue Reading →

People who suffer from this illness feel terror, dread, or panic when confronted with the feared object, situation, or activity, and they cannot give a reasonable explanation for why they fear the object of their dread. Many have such an overwhelming desire to avoid the source of their fear that it interferes with their jobs, family life, and social relationships. They may lose their jobs because they can’t go to business lunches for fear of eating in front of others. They may quit a job in a high-rise office in order to work on the ground floor because they fear elevators. They may become so fearful of leaving their homes that they live like hermits.

Many common problems associated with joints and muscles can be safely treated at home, and herbs can offer a lot in terms of pain and inflammation control. However, some of the recommended remedies need to be used in a specific way, otherwise they can be potentially harmful (for example, arnica).

It alleviates hot flushes and menopausal distress. It also helps in the prevention and treatment of dandruff. This mineral is found in Brewer’s yeast, garlic,onions, tomatoes, eggs, milk and sea food. There is no official dietary allowance for salemium but, 50 to 100 mcg. is considered adequate. Deficiency of this mineral can cause premature loss of stamina. Too frequent baths should be avoided. Soap should not be used. Regular sea water baths and application of sea water externally over the affected parts once a day are beneficial. The hot Epsom salts bath has proved valuable in psoriasis. Three full baths should be taken weekly until the trouble begins to subside. The number of baths thereafter may be reduced to two weekly and finally to one. The affected areas should also be bathed twice in hot water containing Epsom salt. After the bath a little olive oil may be applied. The skin should be kept absolutely clean by daily dry friction or sponge. I have aggregated cinnamon and cassia here, as do the spice dealers, so who knows which they have studied when it is reduced to powdered bark, in this HDR entry.

Bupleurum Root

Virtually all supplemental GLA is derived from evening primrose, borage, or black currant seed oils. Many of the GLA supplements sold are actually labeled as “evening primrose,” “borage seed oil,” or “black currant seed oil,” with the actual quantity of GLA listed in fine print on the back of the label. As you might expect, each type of oil has its proponent, often because of financial interests. Diarrhea, Excessive Menstruation, Heart Disease The Benefit of using Bugleweed as a natural cure Induces sweating When administered in small amounts, a hot infusion of yarrow will open the skin to induce sweating by gently raising the body temperature, which in turn purifies the blood of bacterial or viral toxins, which cannot survive with the increased temperature. I loved reading an account from herbalist John Christopher (1976) about his administration of yarrow to his daugh-ter, who was sick with influenza. She had gone to their country home for a visit and had fallen ill, with a high fever, restlessness, and a headache. He had noticed yarrow growing nearby, collected it, and gave her hot yarrow tea, despite her initial protests. By the second dosage and within 20 minutes, she was perspiring freely. Within the hour she reported feeling better, and by morning she had recovered. is perfectly demonstrates the ease with which you can help someone with a safe, readily available resource with confidence in the knowledge of plant medicine. Contraindications Avoid large doses during preg-nancy. Allergic reactions in rare cases. highly resistant to this immune response, which can inflame the stomach wall and may eventually lead to an ulcer. Free radicals damage the DNA in stomach wall cells, increasing the chance of mutations, some of which could seed cancers. A well-balanced diet provides as abundance of minerals and vitamins. In refining cereals, grains and sugar, we have robbed them of their natural vitamins and minerals. The dietary sources of these nutrients are whole grains, cereals, bran and germ. It is the bran and germ which are removed in processing. To obtain a balance of nutrients, it is , therefore, necessary to avoid refined and processed foods but an intake of adequate green leafy vegetables which are an excellent source of many nutrients should be ensured.

Butchers Broom

Aromatase is a key enzyme in steroid hormone metabolism, and its inhibition may partially explain the activity of the roots in BPH. The polysaccharide fraction of the aqueous root extract show prolonged antiedemic and antiinflammatory activity (40 mg/kg orl rat). Ethanolic extract also inhibits elastase, a destructive enzyme in the inflammatory process (IC50=68 µg/ml). The isolectin (UDA), abundant in the roots, may contribute to the antiinflammatory and antiprostatic activity of the extracts. Aqueous extracts interfere with, dose-dependently (0.6-10 mg/ml), the binding of dihydrotestosterone to SHBG (with specific receptors on human prostatic membranes). The alcoholic extract, UDA, and stigmast-4-en-3-one were inactive. At concentrations of 0.1 mg/ml, some root extracts inhibited Na+, K+-ATPases 27.6-81.5%. Stigmast-4-en-3-one, stigmasterol, and campesterol inhibited Na+, K+-ATPases 23-67% at concentrations of 1-1000 µ M.

The Benefit of using Blackberry Leaf as a natural cure

Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Rubber Vine) – “All parts may cause severe stomach and intestinal upset. Cases of death have been reported from India. The leaf is toxic. Dry vine emits an eye-irritating dust which may induce coughing and swelling” (CRC).

Ointments can be made in a variety of ways, but I have found the recipe below the easiest to use. You can use fresh or dry herbs, and the other ingredients can be bought from a chemist. You can use a variety of herbs, the most common being calendula or comfrey leaf.

Dosages (Mallow) – 1.5 g flower/cup water (HHB); up to 5 g flower/day (HHB); 5 g flower or leaf/day (PIP); 2-3 tsp (3.2-4.8 g) leaf in cold tea (MAD); 3-5 g/cup 2-3 ×/day (PH2); 2-8 ml liquid extract (PNC).

Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Longleaf Pine) – Commission E reports contraindications for EO: whooping cough; adverse effects: local irritation, exacerbation of bronchospasms (AEH). Though approving pure turpentine for “Chronic disease of the bronchii with heavy secretion” (which I translate to bronchosis), Commission E contraindicates for acute inflammation of the respiratory tract. Inhaled turpentine may reduce bronchial secretion (KOM). Even topical application to too much surface area may damage the CNS and kidneys (KOM). Turpentine is a counterirritant and rubefacient. Though also taken internally, turpentine might best be relegated to topical uses, if any.

Diarrhea, Dyspepsia, Flu Virus, Heart Disease, Indigestion, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Lactation, Late Menstruation, Poor Circulation, Poor Digestion, Stomach, Stomach Upset, Travelers Diarrhea, Upset Stomach, Water Retention, Worms The Benefit of using Blessed Thistle as a natural cure Syrups are the best way to administer cough medicine. Typical herbs used for making syrups are liquorice, thyme, marshmallow root, rose, mullein and hyssop. You can use either dry or fresh herbs or a mixture of the two. I recommend using a single herb per syrup, apart from thyme and liquorice where you can mix the herbs half-and-half. Supports the bladder Poplar bark has a unique ability when working on the bladder, because it seems to target both the function and structure of the organ itself. In cases such as incontinence, when many variables come into play-overactivity, bladder wall punctuation, sensitivity, sphincter tone-poplar is an excel-lent choice for healing the entire bladder. Many practitioners use it for a bladder or kidney that is easily stimulated by emotions such as fear, nervousness, or anxiety. Dosages (Lobelia) – 100 mg leaf as expectorant (AHP); 2-6 tsp fresh leaf (PED); 1-3 g dry leaf (PED); 2 g dry leaf:10 ml alcohol/10 ml water (PED); 0.2-0.6 g herb, or in tea, 3 ×/day (CAN); 50-600 mg herb/day (HHB); maximum dose 100 mg dry herb up to 3 ×/day (MAD); 4-10 drops herb 3 ×/day with water or juice (NH); 0.2-0.6 ml liquid herb extract (1:1 in 50% ethanol) 3 ×/day (CAN); 0.6-2.0 ml herb tincture (BPC) (CAN); 1-4 ml lobelia tincture (1:10 in dilute acetic acid) (CAN); 10-20 drops (0.5-1 g) leaf tincture, up to several ×/day (MAD).

Sterility may also be caused by loss of essential glands or organs of reproduction or a decrease in their functions, brought about by a variety of fators such as surgical injuries, tumour, excessive radiation and lack of normal menstrual cycle. Obesity or emaciation due either to dietetic errors or faulty metabolism are yet other factors which can contribute to female sterility. Hormone Balance The Benefit of using Black Cohosh Root as a natural cure Because many of us have unconsciously developed a habit of relying on dysfunctional breathing patterns as strategies for dealing with stress, relaxing and allowing a normal breathing pattern can sometimes leave one feeling vulnerable in times of stress. If you find that this happens, then I suggest that you relax your muscles even more deeply. Allow an effortless, easy, relaxed normal breathing pattern to occur. Not long ago, an article was published disproving the generally accepted idea that all coumarin-containing plants are anticoagulants. Here is the backstory. In the early twentieth century, an investigation was initiated to determine why cows sometimes died of spontaneous bleeding after eating sweet clover (a plant containing relatively high amounts of coumarin). Scientists discovered that the metabolite of coumarin, dicoumarol, was created only when the plant was in contact with several different types of fungi-meaning that the blood-thinning action was created only when sweet clover and a mushroom or fungi of some sort come together. The article stated that sweet clover without this mushroom interaction does not produce the anticoagulant action. Drink chamomile and meadowsweet tea, mixed in equal proportions (for precautions see page 47). Adults: 3 cups a day, reducing to 1 cup a day once symptoms improve Hormone Balance- Children have essentially been weaned on soft drinks and calorie-dense fast-food restaurant fare. “Super-size” meals lead to super-size children and adults.

No, you’re not having a heart attack. No, it’s not the lemon juice that’s making you feel acidic. No, it’s not too much food either. If you experience any or all of these symptoms, it could mean that you have acid reflux or even gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Gout, Prostate The Benefit of using Birch Bark as a natural cure For example, amyloid beta protein, which strangles brain cells in Alzheimer’s disease, releases large numbers of free radicals that injure brain cells, according to research by Ashley I. Bush, M.D., Ph.D., a neu-rology researcher at Harvard Medical School. In an experiment with brain cells from rats, Allan Butterfield, Ph.D., a professor of chemistry at the University of Kentucky, Lexington, found that vitamin E prevented the formation of free radicals in brain cells and protected them from the toxic effects of amyloid beta protein. The benefits of vitamin E were demonstrated by Mary Sano, Ph.D., of Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, in a study of 342 patients with advanced Alzheimer’s disease. Some of the patients received 2,000 IU of vitamin E Dosages (Pimpinella) – 0.5-10 g root (HHB); 6-12 g dry root (KOM); 6-12 (-15) g root tincture (1:5) (KOM; PH2); 10-15 drops root tincture (MAD); 1 tsp (4.6 g) herb in wine (MAD).

It is an extremely important factor in the digestion and oxidation of fats, thus creating more muscle and glandular activity, resulting in greater body exertion and less fat accumulations. Lecithin is essential not only for tissue integrity of the nervous and glandular system in all living cells, but has been regarded as also the most effective generator and regenerator of great physical, mental and glandular activity. Shattered nerves, depleted brain power, waning activity of vital glands, find in lecithin, especially in the cellular structure of the nervous system and endocrine glands a source of dynamic energy.” Cholesterol High- Constipation- Diarrhea- Continue Reading →

By 1980 investigators suspected a link between serotonin and eating disorders. This suspicion was confirmed with the discovery that the Serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine (Prozac) sometimes produced a side effect of weight loss.

Many have such an overwhelming desire to avoid the source of their fear that it interferes with their jobs, family life, and social relationships. They may lose their jobs because they can’t go to business lunches for fear of eating in front of others.

Far more than genes, poor eating habits are at the core of most modern degenerative disorders, including chronic inflammation.

Alfalfa Leaf

  • Comments Off on Alfalfa Leaf

While gathering roots and rhizomes, replant root crowns and rhizome pieces directly in the ground, especially if a bud is present, to help the plant regrow. If you need to strip bark, do not remove it from a living part of the plant. Instead, look for freshly fallen branches and remove bark from those parts. If you must remove bark from a healthy part of a plant, remove only very small, vertical strips, and never, ever girdle a tree (remove bark horizontally around the entire trunk) or you will kill it entirely. If you cut too much, the wound you create opens a path for bacterial and fungal infections, which can kill the tree.

Aloe Vera Leaf

Both dandelion root and leaves are used medicinally, but for digestive complaints the root is the part you need. Dandelion root stimulates the liver to produce more bile, which in turn means better digestion of fatty food. If you find that fatty food, such as bacon or full-fat cheese, makes you feel heavy and bloated, then taking dandelion will help. Of course, fatty food is not good for us and it is best to avoid it; nevertheless you should be able to digest such food without trouble; if you don’t, then your liver may be a bit sluggish.

Aromatase is a key enzyme in steroid hormone metabolism, and its inhibition may partially explain the activity of the roots in BPH. The polysaccharide fraction of the aqueous root extract show prolonged antiedemic and antiinflammatory activity (40 mg/kg orl rat). Ethanolic extract also inhibits elastase, a destructive enzyme in the inflammatory process (IC50=68 µg/ml). The isolectin (UDA), abundant in the roots, may contribute to the antiinflammatory and antiprostatic activity of the extracts. Aqueous extracts interfere with, dose-dependently (0.6-10 mg/ml), the binding of dihydrotestosterone to SHBG (with specific receptors on human prostatic membranes). The alcoholic extract, UDA, and stigmast-4-en-3-one were inactive. At concentrations of 0.1 mg/ml, some root extracts inhibited Na+, K+-ATPases 27.6-81.5%. Stigmast-4-en-3-one, stigmasterol, and campesterol inhibited Na+, K+-ATPases 23-67% at concentrations of 1-1000 µ M.
