Spring Herbal Cleansing

Spring Herbal Cleansing
By Simone Gabbay

If the warmer days of spring find us feeling unusually tired and sluggish, we might be tempted to pop a few vitamin pills in hopes of overcoming our energy slump. But the Cayce readings tell us that vitamins are ineffective until we get our eliminations working properly and that supplementation will "Be more beneficial after there has been the cleansing of the system." (307-19)


Spring

Is it time for a spring cleanse, then? Perhaps so. An overburdened elimination system is a common cause of ill health and chronic ailments that are erroneously believed to be a natural part of aging. Research has identified links between degenerative conditions such as arthritis and certain gastrointestinal disorders.

Although the body performs internal cleansing on a daily, moment-to-moment basis, the normal channels of detoxification can become overwhelmed by toxins created through incomplete digestion, nutritional deficiencies, pharmaceutical drugs, and pesticides and preservatives in the food supply. Chronic stress, whether physical, mental, or emotional, also contributes to the accumulation of toxic substances in the system.

Any attempt to rid the body of poisons must first remove the most common cause of toxicity: constipation. The brisk sales of over-the-counter laxatives leave no doubt as to how widespread this condition is. Most pharmaceutical laxatives, though temporarily effective, can irritate the colon, and habitual use often creates a dependence. For the support of regular bowel function and the long-term prevention of constipation, it is preferable to increase dietary fiber and ensure adequate liquid intake on a regular basis.

As part of a cleansing program and whenever there is need, the husk of psyllium seeds, available in natural food stores, is a gentle yet highly effective intestinal bulking agent which naturally stimulates a lazy colon into action. Edgar Cayce recommended psyllium on several occasions, often suggesting that it be taken with meals and allowed to gel before being ingested. For maximal effectiveness, plenty of liquid must be taken with the psyllium, which is highly absorbent.

Innerclean, a herbal laxative compound occasionally recommended by Cayce, also contains psyllium, along with the herbs senna and buckthorn, which synergistically support the action of psyllium. Other natural digestive aids recommended in the readings include American saffron (prepared as a tea), Fletcher's Castoria, ragweed, Coca-Cola syrup in plain water, syrup of figs, and elm water (prepared by adding a pinch of powdered slippery elm bark herb to a glass of water). These remedies are not merely to be regarded as elements, but as regulating agents which stimulate and coordinate the action of the liver, kidneys, and intestines, thus promoting optimal digestion and assimilation.

Spring might also be a good time to give the Cayce apple diet a try. This three-day cleansing regimen, during which nothing is taken except raw apples, along with water and the occasional cup of herbal tea, coffee, or grain coffee, was recommended by Cayce as an effective way to "cleanse all toxic forces from any system!" (820-2) On the evening of the third day, the apple diet is concluded by drinking half a cup of olive oil. For best results, the apples should be organically grown and the olive oil labeled "extra virgin."

Another approach to cleansing that works well for many is a short juice fast, drinking only freshly pressed fruit and vegetable juices, along with purified or distilled water. Edgar Cayce cautioned against indiscriminate fasting, but "liquid diets" of maximally three days are well tolerated by most individuals who are generally healthy. Remember, however, Cayce's suggestion that even liquids should be well salivated and chewed before swallowing to ensure optimal assimilation of nutrients.

In reading 545-03, Cayce recommended an herbal formula which was said to be "good for everyone as a spring tonic." This formula contains several cleansing and tonifying herbs, including sarsaparilla root, wild cherry bark, dog fennel, yellow dock root, dogwood bark, and prickly ash bark. To be taken by the half-teaspoonful four times a day, before meals and before retiring, this tonic was said to "assist in clarifying the whole system." Formula 545 is such a tonic.

Colonic irrigations, castor oil packs, massage, and exerCcise can support the nutritional spring cleansing program by stimulating lymphatic function and detoxification through the colon, hepatic system, skin, and lungs.

Only when toxic wastes are removed and the pathways of elimination restored can the body effectively assimilate energy from foods and supplements. A few days of spring cleansing can help get us into shape for a healthy summer. May yours be blessed with lots of sunshine.

Infertility Treatment

Infertility Treatment With Herbal Therapy is the Best Way to Fall Pregnant
By Irina Webster

Different herbs have been used for infertility treatment for thousands of years. A well known example of how herbs can help you to fall pregnant is in the Bible, with the story of Rachel and Leah. Rachel tried for years to fall pregnant without success. Then she finally eats mandrakes and conceives quickly (Genesis 30).

So, what kinds of herbs are helpful to beat infertility and become pregnant? It all depends on what kind of infertility problems a woman has. And what organs and functions in the woman's body need correction to achieve conception. Here is a list of different herbs that have been used successfully for infertility treatment.

Black Cohosh is a hormone-like balancing herb. Native Americans used it a lot in order to fall pregnant and carry a healthy baby. New research has shown that it contains triterpenes and flavonoids that suppress the secretion of lutenizing hormone and has a mild but significant estrogenic effect. The herb should be taken in small amounts per dosage as recommended by your practitioner. Excessive use can cause headaches.

False Unicorn herb has been used a lot to regulate menstrual and ovarian dysfunction. It also reduces menstrual pains. Of all the herbs, false unicorn has one of the strongest reputations for helping women to conceive.

Dong Quai - used for thousands of years by Chinese women to correct menstrual cycle and balance the reproductive system. Modern medicine has found that Dong Quai is rich in vitamin E, cobalt and iron that help you to fall pregnant. It is recommended to be taken for a few months to see the benefit.

Red Raspberry Leaves contain a lot of vitamin and minerals (like C, A, B-complex, D, E, iron, manganese and calcium) and has been used for many centuries to nourish a women's body preparing it for pregnancy.

Kelp is rich in minerals and contains significant amounts of iodine, calcium and potassium. The iodine content is needed for those who have under active thyroids. Under active thyroids is a common reason for miscarriage.

Damiana is traditionally used for increasing fertility and sexual desire in both males and females. Alfalfa contains high amounts of beta carotene (predecessor of vitamin A) and microelements for glandular nutrition (including ovaries) and its chlorophyll content helps nourish the blood which is necessary for healthy pregnancy.

Ho Shou Wu is a herb that has been used effectively to increase fertility by inducing ovulation (making an egg come out). It contains hormone-like substances.

Wild Yam enhances fertility by stimulating the ovulation process (egg release). It is believed that the herb contains steroid -like substances which increase FSH production and FSH stimulates ovaries to release the egg. It has been used a lot by Native Americans.

Liquid Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in plants is an excellent cleanser for the liver, regulates menstruation and increases vitality. It is excellent for preconception care.

Evening Primrose Oil contains essential fatty acids (EFAs) which are crucial to proper functioning of hormone-like substances called prostaglandins, which induce ovulation. Some kind of infertility problems can be linked to EFA deficiency and subsequent prostaglandin imbalance which could stop ovulation.

Sarsparilla is widely used in food industries as a flavoring agent. But it is also considered both a male and female tonic that increases libido. Naturopaths believe that Sarsparilla contains hormone-like substances that act like testosterone, progesterone and cortisone.

Blessed Thistle is a hormone-like herb. It can be used to balance menstrual cycle. Especially it helps those with long menstrual cycles to make the cycle shorter. It also can induce ovulation (make it come more often).

Chaste Tree Berry can improve progesterone levels and lower estrogen levels. A lowered progesterone level in the second half of a woman's cycle is a common cause of miscarriage and infertility.

To conclude, herbal therapy can be very helpful to treat infertility and increase ability to fall pregnant. It helps both men and women to nourish and balance their reproductive system and beat the odds in order to have a child.

Bladder Disorders

Alternative and Herbal Medicines For Bladder Disorders
By Robin Brain

Some alternative approaches may help promote the natural passage of small bladder stones and also prevent their recurrences (large, obstructive stones require prompt medical attention). Otherwise, alternative therapies are useful primarily for symptomatic relief.

Bladder Disorder

Acupuncture

Stimulation of points along the urinary bladder, kidney, and stomach meridians may ease pain and facilitate the passage of stones. Similarly, acupuncture needles placed along the bladder, liver, kidney, and spleen meridians are said to help relieve pain.

Herbal Medicine

Herbalists recommend a tea made from varsity leaves to treat bladder stones and other urinary disorders. Other herbal remedies include teas made from goldenrod, watermelon seeds, or marsh mallow root.

Nutrition Therapy And Naturopathy

For bladder stones, a therapist may advise taking daily supplements of 10 milligrams of magnesium and 10 milligrams of vitamin B6 to reduce calcium oxalate, a substance found in some stones. To reduce the formation of oxalate stones, she might suggest adopting a low salt diet and not taking vitamin C supplements. Limiting such oxalate-rich foods as spinach, chard, beet greens, and rhubarb, as well as tea and chocolate, also may help. To help prevent restricts, naturopaths suggest a regular intake of citrus fruits and juices to acidify the urine, which may help stop bacterial growth Blueberry and cranberry juices also contain a compound that inhibits the growth of bladder bacteria.

Self Treatment

Self care can playa significant role in both the treatment and prevention of bladder disorders. It's a good idea to increase consumption of water and other nonalcoholic fluids to at least 10 glasses a day. Extra fluids dilute the urine, helping to prevent restricts as well as bladder stones, and also to pass those that may have formed. If you have high levels of uric acid, talk to your doctor about dietary changes that may reduce its formation. Avoiding legumes, organ meats, and other foods high in urine may help. If bladder stones contain calcium, lowering calcium intake may be a good idea, but this should be done only under a doctor's supervision, because too little calcium can contribute to osteoporosis. In any event, avoid high dose calcium supplements and calcium based antacids. Inactivity can also increase calcium in the urine. Walking and other physical activity that exercises the back, legs, and other weight-bearing bones enables the body to absorb and store calcium rather than excrete it, possibly lowering the risk of recurrent bladder stones.

Other measures to alleviate bladder problems include the following:

  • Try heat to soothe the pain of restricts, sitting in a warm bath or using a heating pad may help.
    Don't delay urination. Holding urine increases bladder irritation.
  • Bathe daily, but avoid perfumed soaps, bubble baths, genital deodorants, and feminine hygiene products, which can irritate the genital area and set the stage for restricts. Scented toilet paper may also be irritating.
  • Empty the bladder before sex. Afterwards, drink a glass of water and wait an hour to urinate again. This allows the bladder to fill enough to flush out bacteria. Using a mild, unscented, and water soluble lubricant or contraceptive foam or jelly (which is bactericidal) during intercourse can make penetration easier and lessen trauma to the urethra and bladder.

Other Causes of Bladder Problems

Cystitis, caused by infection and/or inflammation of the bladder, produces symptoms similar to those of restricts, frequently, the two conditions coexist. Interstitial cystitis, marked by inflammation of the bladder wall without an active infection, can also cause chronic, debilitating bladder pain, especially in women. In men, an enlarged or inflamed prostate (prostatitis) may cause similar problems. Stress, too, can manifest itself in urinary tract problems, especially an irritable bladder Following menopause, many women experience increased urinary urgency, even when the bladder is relatively empty. This is caused by thinning of tissues in the lower urinary tract due to lack of estrogen. Incontinence, the inability to control urination, may be caused by these and other bladder problems, as well as nerve disorders.

Cancer Survivors

Cancer Survivors - Vegetarianism Is The # 1 Nutritional Strategy To Full Natural Recovery
By Dr. Anca Martalog,N.D.

It is a recognized fact by both allopathic and naturopathic doctors that toxicity is associated with cancer.

This fact makes detoxification an important step in one's recovery from cancer.

The # 1 nutritional strategy to ensure a continuous low toxicity in one's body is vegetarianism.We all know nutrition plays a big role in our health, but how can we make the changes in our diet that will be most beneficial to our bodies? Some changes are easier to make than others, such as drinking less coffee and eating less red meat. But eventually, we all end up talking about people that have reached "advanced" nutritional states -- the vegetarian and the vegan.


vegetarian food

Vegetarianism is one of many lifestyle choices that can help improve our health. Although vegetarianism does not spell excellent nutrition (for instance, one can be a vegetarian, but still eat lots of donuts and drink a lot of coffee), it is an important step towards better nutrition. A change to a vegetarian diet automatically reduces the intake of both protein and saturated fats. While saturated fats are best done without, proteins are important to the normal functioning of the body. Thus, one must compensate for the loss of protein coming from a vegetarian diet switch. If done properly, a vegetarian diet can provide more than an adequate supply of protein through combinations of foods, such as:

grains and legumes (i.e. rice and lentils, wheat and peas, bean burritos)

seeds or nuts and legumes (i.e. garbanzo and sesame -- humus, tofu and sesame)

grains and milk or eggs -- although not recommended if combined with other foods (i.e. quiche, rice and eggs, French toast, lasagne)

vegetables and milk or eggs (i.e. cream soups, vegetables with eggs or cheese sauce, salad with sliced eggs, omelette, eggplant Parmesan)

It is also important to have all the essential amino acids (which are the building blocks of proteins) at one meal, so our bodies can make new proteins.

Although being a vegetarian means giving up eating all kinds of meat (which, as we all know, will be hard to accomplish), the benefits of vegetarianism are numerous. Vegetarians have decreased incidence of hypertension, obesity, high cholesterol, atherosclerosis, heart disease, osteoporosis and cancer. In other words, decreased incidence of the major life-ending conditions in our society is more present in vegetarians.

Despite the tremendous benefits, only a very small percentage of our population is vegetarian. This may be attributed in part to a fear of a change that will affect us on a daily basis. Everyone has different needs and special medical conditions. Consequently, individualized advice, especially when concerning nutrition, is best.

Nutrition is one of the most important tools used by naturopathic doctors to improve the health of their patients. Together with homeopathy, Chinese remedies and acupuncture, botanical medicines and lifestyle counselling, nutrition is effectively used as part of an overall treatment plan. Furthermore, individualized advice from naturopathic doctors can pinpoint the areas of concern and some of the hurdles that stand in the way of a healthy, vegetarian diet.

One has to consider that the downfall of the vegetarian diet is the difficulty of getting all protein requirements, dependent on your health state, activity levels and BMR ( basal metabolic rate), your protein requirements can easily be calculated ( using the B.I.A ) and maintained through the vegetarian diet.

Give a try and watch your improvement towards full natural cancer recovery.

Are you ready to start your natural recovery to optimal health?

Natural Herbs For Menopause

Natural Herbs For Menopause
By Liz Canney

As more and more people are turning to a greener world it makes sense that women are returning to natural herbs for menopause.


Soy beans
Photo: JupiterImages

Since time began women have endured menopause, and it has only been in the past couple of decades that we have moved from the natural herbs for menopause that our mothers and grandmother's used, to what can only be described as synthetic and very questionable hormone replacement therapies.

There has been a lot of conflict over the past few years regarding hormone replacement therapy, I was one of those women who decided to find a natural alternative for my menopause. After some trial and error I finally discovered Menozac, a natural herb, containing plant estrogens called phytoestrogens and within ten days I was back to my old self, no more unbearable hot flashes and night sweats. Did I still get them? yes, but nowhere near as frequent and nowhere near as intense.

All of the herbs Used In Menozac are natural and sourced from plants

Soy Seed:

Soy contains natural phytoestrogens, phytoestrogens are not as strong as human estrogens but they behave in a similar way in our bodies. They help balance our estrogen levels by attaching to our estrogen receptor sites, which can decrease estrogen levels in perimenopausal (early menopause) women and increase levels in menopausal women.

Vitam E:

Vitamin E, an antioxidant, studies done in the 1940,s suggest vitamin E may prevent hot flashes and vaginal dryness.

Black Cohosh:

Black Cohosh is used to alleviate menopausal symptoms. It has been widely researched and whilst generally considered safe, women with a history or family history of liver disease should always consult with their doctor before taking black cohosh.

Damaiana (Turnerna diffusa) (leaf):

This yellow-flowering shrub typically grows in climates that are hot and humid, including Central and South America, and in the state of Texas. Damaiana has historically been used as an aphrodisiac and has been claimed to induce euphoria.

However, research shows that myth to be a hoax. It is indicated to relieve anxiety and induce relaxation. Those suffering from sexual difficulties resulting from stress or emotional troubles could benefit from supplementation with this herb.

There are many alternative and natural herbs for menopause and it is only a matter of trial and error until you find one which suits your needs, for me finding Menozac was the best thing in the world, maybe it could help you too.

With all the controversy surrounding hormone replacement therapy (HRT) Liz has researched many natural herbal products available today in the hope of helping other women going through menopause.

Have you found this information on Menozac helpful ? if so you can learn more by going to http://www.menopausemademedoit.com/

Flames of Heartburn

Put Out The Flames of Heartburn With Medicinal Herbs
By Darlyn Burkle

Heartburn is caused when stomach acid leaks back up into your esophagus. Usually, there is a small 'trapdoor' of muscle that keeps stomach acid where it belongs, but if you eat a large meal, or certain kinds of food, then you can suffer heartburn as the trapdoor opens and lets the acid leak out. There are medications, and herbal remedies that can reduce the pain of heartburn.


Home Remedies For Better Health
Photo: www.uren.com


How To Douse the Flames

One good herbal medicine is Dandelion - it is a common weed, and can be found in many backyards. It is a common part of both native American medicine, and Chinese medicine. Dandelion tea is a good remedy - add hot boiling water to a mixture of leaves and flowers for a bitter, but effective dandelion tea. Alternatively, if dandelion doesn't agree with your system, you can use milk thistle which is found in abundance in the Mediterranean region.

Other medicinal herbs for treating heartburn, such as chamomile and meadowsweet, can help to decrease acidity levels in the stomach. One of the oldest medicinal crop known to human species is Linseed. It is well-known for its curative properties and therapeutic values. In addition to its many medicinal usages, Linseed is also known for its ability to cure digestive and respiratory ailments.

More Good Herbs For Stomach Ailments

Flax, fenugreek, and slippery elm are good herbs that can help soak up excess stomach acid. A preparation of the herbs in a tea is an effective way to reduce stomach pain. Mixtures such as chamomile, lemon balm, catnip, and fennel can be brewed into a very soothing drink.

Probably the most well known medicinal herb for treating heartburn is ginger root. The best way to prepare it is as a tea. Add freshly grated ginger root to one cup of boiling water, steep for ten minutes, add some honey and drink. It is absolutely delicious. Most known and used for quelling the nausea caused by motion sickness, ginger also helps to relax the muscles that line the walls of the esophagus so that stomach acids don't get pushed upwards. It's a perfect medicinal herb for digestive and stomach ailments.

Herbalist Recommendations

Herbalists also recommend teas made from anise, caraway, or fennel seeds - add two teaspoons of them to a cup of boiling water, and allow to steep for about 10 minutes before straining, then drink for instant relief.

According to Ayurvedic, the traditional medicine of India, teas made from cardamom and cinnamon have powerful medicinal properties, and are very effective for treating heartburn - again, allow to steep for a while, strain, then drink.

Taiwan Herbal

Taiwan Herbal Medicine
By Mary Freeman

Herbal medicine products are dietary supplements that people take to improve their health. Herbal medicine is the oldest form of healthcare known to mankind. For nearly 3000 years oriental cultures have harnessed the natural power of the earth to live healthier, happier, more youthful lives. By 200 BC, traditional Chinese herbal medicine was firmly established, and by the first century AD, a comprehensive listing of medicinal herbs and herbal formulations had been developed.


Home Remedies For Better Health
Photo: passdt.com

Herbal medicine, also called botanical medicine or phytomedicine, refers to the use of any plant's seeds, berries, roots, leaves, bark, or flowers for medicinal purposes. Herbal medicine is a major component in all indigenous peoples' traditional medicine and is a common element in Ayurvedic, homeopathic, naturopathic, traditional oriental, and Native American Indian medicine.

Taiwan herbal medicine is a major aspect of traditional Chinese herbal medicine, which focuses on restoring a balance of energy, body, and spirit to maintain health rather than treating a particular disease or medical condition. Taiwan herbal medicine uses a variety of herbs, in different combinations, to restore balance to the body (see Astragalus, Ginkgo, Ginseng, Green Tea, and Siberian Ginseng). In the United States, Taiwan herbs and herbal formulas may be purchased in health food stores, some pharmacies, and from herbal medicine practitioners.

Taiwan herbal remedies for each particular ailment are made up of one or two herbs that are said to have the greatest effect on major aspects of the problem being treated.

What can Taiwan Herbal Medicine Treat?

Taiwan herbal medicine has been used for a very long list of conditions. Among the more commonly treated conditions are:
  • Psychological problems such as depression and anxiety.
  • Respiratory conditions, such as coughs, allergic and perennial rhinitis and sinusitis, asthma, and bronchitis.
  • Urinary tract conditions such as chronic cystitis.
  • Hepatitis and HIV: good results have been seen for treatment of Hepatitis C, and supportive treatment may be beneficial in the case of HIV.
  • Gynecological conditions, including pre-menstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhoea, endometriosis,and infertility.
  • Skin diseases, including eczema, acne, rosacea, urticaria, and psoriasis, Gastro-intestinal disorders, including irritable bowel syndrome, chronic constipation, and ulcerative colitis.
  • Rheumatological conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
  • Diabetes treatment and prevention.

As you can see Taiwan herbal medicine is definitely an option when considering which herbal remedies to use for enhancing your health and well being.

Organic Products for Health

Fill Your Home and Business with Organic Products for Health and Sustainability
By Anne Harvester

Organic herbs are just one of several organic products that have many uses in your home and business. Organic products are based on plants that are grown organically. This means that no synthetic chemical fertilizers or pesticides were used on the plants or the land on which the plants were grown. Organic growing also helps to promote a diversity of plants, rather than the monoculture farming practices often seen on farms run by agricultural conglomerates. Because of the diversity and lack of chemicals introduced into the environment, it offers a more sustainable growing option than factory farming provides. For all these reasons, organic products, such as organic herbs, organic teas, organic spices, organic essential oils , organic bath products and even organic salt, make for healthier, toxin-free options for products you use around the home or at your place of business.


Organic Products

Organic Herbs
These glorious herbs form the basis of a gourmet cook's pantry. Seasoning staples such as spices like basil, cinnamon, curry powders, spice blends such as Cajun Spice, Fajita Seasoning, and so many more all provide a richer flavor when they start with herbs grown organically. You can even find organically produced salt, which will find its way into numerous recipes from your kitchen.

Herbs can also be drunk in the form of teas. Teas not only taste delicious, but many contain little to no caffeine. You can enjoy the flavors of chai tea, chamomile tea, lemon or orange spice teas, and you can even create your own specialty tea blends with your favorite herbs and spices.
In addition, organic herbs are used to create the essential oils used in aromatherapy.
Aromatherapy uses extracted oils from organically grown herbs to create these pure and concentrated oils. The essential oil is placed in a diffuser, which applies heat to the oil in order to release the intoxicating scent.

One of the best ways to utilize organic herbs is as an ingredient used in bath products. There is nothing more wonderful than filling a cheesecloth drawstring bag with a luxurious herbal bath blend, and then letting the bag soak in the bath water, to release the fragrance not only in the moist air but also onto your skin.

Restaurants and stores that create and sell their own herbal products like soaps find that using herbs grown organically is an attractive selling point that helps increase business. Organic herbs can be purchased in bulk for businesses that require them as ingredients or for sale in bulk to the public.

Anne Harvester is an herbalist who has studied the benefits of using organic herbs and other organic products. In this article, she explores organic essential oils, organic teas, and organic spices.
