Flower Remedies - When Are Flower Essences Useful For A Horse?

By Lesley Edmondson

Flower Remedies are not just for treating people's emotions and psychological problems, but animals too.

The power of Flower Remedies is gentle and accumulative. They are completely safe, have no adverse effects, are not addictive and there is no possibility of overdose. They can be used alongside any treatment that a horse may be receiving; whether this is allopathic or another complementary therapy, with the result that it enhances treatment in aiding healing.





When are Flower Remedies useful for a horse?

Basically for any negative emotional circumstance and also as emotional support and encouragement. In other words, at any circumstances in which the emotions are involved. They can help a horse become more trusting, confident, re-assured, more perceptive

Listed below are just a few of the emotional upsets where Flower Remedies can be of help to a horse, and sometimes the rider as well:

Assists with bonding between horse and rider

Nervous behavior, being spooked

Fear of traveling

Dominating behavior

Moving to a new environment

Concentration in training

Loss of companion or owner

Acceptance of new owner/rider

Competition nerves and stress

Moving to new stables

Apathy and depression

Support during illness

Rearing, kicking, bolting and biting

Traumatic labour and birth

It is impossible to give a list of mixtures of flower remedies; this would be endless due to the uniqueness and diversity of emotions that may be experienced. There are 39 Flower Remedies in the Bach Flower Remedy system, each covering a different emotional state; and the whole system covering every possible emotional state. Sometimes just one single flower essence may be appropriate, for instance:

Aspen for known fears

Mimulus for unknown fears

Beech for down right stubbornness

Clematis is helpful for concentration, perhaps in competitions, shows, trials

Crab Apple for compulsive disorders such as box vices and helpful during and following illness

Gorse helpful for horses depressed on box rest; loss of a companion or owner

Impatiens to help with patience and irritability

Larch to boost confidence

Olive for tiredness or exhaustion, after a competition, ride or following illness

Star of Bethlehem for trauma (weaning, loss of companion, past abuse, accident)

Vervain for horses that are prone to being hyper

Vine for dominating horses

Walnut to help adjust to new circumstances (owner/stables/horse)

White Chestnut for a horse that seems to worry (when combined with Agrimony this is helpful for stable vices)

Rescue Remedy - this is actually a blend of fiver flower remedies: Cherry Plum, Rock Rose, Clematis, Star of Bethlehem and Impatiens) This is excellent for any emergency, accident, traumatic incident or injury being helpful in bringing calm and a feeling of security. If you don't have any other flower essences in stock, this is the one remedy that is a 'must have', kept in the glove compartment; a handy drawer, coat pocket or handbag.

Flower Remedies will not cure physical disorders but they will dissolve negative emotions with positive ones, resulting in a confident, self-assured, well balanced horse which with the result that they are better able to fight physical disease.

Green Tea: The Japanese Secret to Good Health

By Jon Stout

Cancer remains a number-one killer in countries around the world. Therefore, it should come as little surprise that medical researchers are exploring new avenues in an effort to find ways to attack cancer.




The investigation into alternative cancer therapies often begins by examining the cultures of specific nations in an effort to determine whether diet or other customs could help unlock the secret to curing this dreaded disease. Since green tea has been a staple of the Japanese diet for centuries, it’s not surprising that new attention is being paid to the tea’s therapeutic benefits.

In recent years, doctors and scientific researchers have been focusing new attention on the idea of drinking green tea in an effort to keep cancer at bay. It’s been thought that the beverage possesses certain natural properties which make it a likely cancer preventative.

Studying Green Tea In-Depth

In order to look at this issue in more depth, researchers Kazue Imai, Kenji Suga, and Kei Nakachi of the Saitama Cancer Center Research Institute in Saitama, Japan, decided to examine the effects of green tea drinking among the Japanese. In an article entitled “Cancer-Preventive Effects of Drinking Green Tea Among a Japanese Population” in Preventative Medicine magazine, the research team explored the therapeutic benefits of green tea at length.

When the researchers began their investigation, there had been a number of studies indicating that the main ingredient of green tea, epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG, was anti-carcinogenic. However, there was little evidence to suggest that EGCG could prevent cancer in human beings. While some human studies had been conducted, the results were far from conclusive.

The Japanese research team strongly believed that it was absolutely critical to conduct an in-depth study in an Asian nation, given the popularity of tea consumption in the Orient. Ultimately, the Japanese scientists found that those Japanese subjects who drank green tea were less likely to develop cancer. This was particularly true among women who consumed more than ten cups of green tea each day.

A Natural Cancer Prevention Tool

The rate of cancer was low among both men and women who consumed large amounts of green tea. In addition, a study of 384 cancer patients indicated that increased consumption of green tea was linked with a delay in the onset of cancer. Again, this phenomenon was most prevalent among women who consumed more than ten cups of green tea each day. The average delay for the onset of cancer was four years—four years of enhanced quality of life for the subjects involved.

To a Western mind, drinking ten cups of green tea daily can seem mind-boggling—especially if one has difficulty consuming eight glasses of water each day. It should be noted that, on average, the subjects were probably consuming 150 ml of green tea per cup. That would amount to about 300 to 400 milligrams of EGCG—a healthy amount, by any standard.

More Powerful Than Once Thought

It has become clear that green tea is far more powerful in fighting cancer than researchers once thought. For instance, scientists recently discovered that green tea’s unique chemical makeup enables it to combat one of the key cancer-causing molecules linked to tobacco use. The ground-breaking evidence appeared in a journal published by the American Chemical Society.

In the study, researchers examined the effects of two components of green tea, EGCG and epigallocatechin, also known as EGC. These substances are close to the consistency of cancer-preventing substances in red wine, grapes, broccoli, and cabbage. The research team discovered that EGCG and EGC can inhibit a molecule that often “turns on” genes that can be harmful to the body, leading to the development of cancer.

However, it’s unclear whether the results in the science lab could be replicated in a person’s home, since the effectiveness of drinking green tea depends on how the beverage is used by the human body. In addition, there appear to be differences between varieties of green tea, so additional study is necessary to prove the beverage’s effectiveness in inhibiting potentially harmful molecular processes.

The Need for More Research

Based upon the evidence presented in the study conducted by Imai, Suga, and Nakachi, there can be little doubt that their research indicates that consuming green tea can lead to the prevention of cancer. However, additional research is definitely needed in order to determine which organs of the body could best benefit from green tea.

In other words, will drinking green tea fight stomach cancer? Breast cancer? Colon cancer? At this point, the answers to these questions remain unclear. Yet, it should be noted that laboratory tests show that green tea’s EGCG can zero in on organs in an effort to prevent cancer.

The initial research into cancer prevention using green tea is incredibly encouraging. To begin with, green tea is an ordinary part of many people’s diets, so drinking the beverage does not necessarily mean a radical lifestyle change. If people are already accustomed to consuming green tea, it stands to reason that they wouldn’t mind consuming more of it, if it would mean preventing the occurrence of cancer.

A Virtually Problem-Free Solution

Some approaches to preventing cancer may seem initially appealing, but can become decidedly less so because of the side effects involved. However, there are no toxic effects linked to green tea consumption, meaning that this cancer-fighting remedy is especially promising.

In addition, green tea appears to be a powerful cancer prevention tool. If the beverage’s therapeutic effects were limited, there wouldn’t be a great deal of interest in using it as a cancer preventative. However, the strong link between green tea consumption and cancer prevention indicated by the Japanese study means that there is good reason for people to consider adding green tea to their diets.

Effects Beyond the Orient

Some might conclude that green tea drinking only prevents cancer among Asian populations, but researchers in the field believe that would be a mistake. It’s entirely possible that, if Westerners also made green tea a significant part of their daily diet, they would also see the preventative effects.

With so many supermarkets and convenience stores in the West now stocking green tea, it may be just a matter of time before Westerners will also experience the beverage’s medicinal benefits.

Zrii Ingredients - Ginger Root

By Jay Tsougrianis

Ginger is one of the seven main ingredients in the product Zrii. Ginger is the most widely used species of the Ginger family. Its uses date back more than 3000 years and it has been harvested and eaten raw, cooked, dried and pickled. Ginger has been used for a wide variety of human ailments, such as nausea, diarrhea, upset stomach and indigestion. It has also been used as an anti-inflammatory and for settling joint pain.




Both Chinese and Ayurvedic practitioners have used ginger for over 3000 years. And it has been traditionally used by the Greeks and Romans for its inflammatory properties and other medicinal effects.

Ginger is currently being studied by the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. They are conducting studies to research the effect of ginger on chemotherapy induced nausea. There are several ways that the ginger appeared to help.

The first is from the anti-oxidant gingerol, which may help decrease the production and potential damage from free radicals in the body. This is because nausea is caused in part by the oxidative products of the digestive tract, and these antioxidant properties, which consume the free radicals, contribute to a reduction of nausea.

The second way ginger appears to help is by blocking serotonin receptors in the gut that cause nausea. And finally ginger causes the blood vessels to dilate which explains its warming effect.

Ginger is one of the seven main ingredients in Zrii. The other herbal ingredients include Amalaki, Haritaki, Schizandra, Tulsi, Turmeric and Jujube. When Zrii was formulated by the doctors and researchers they followed strict Ayurvedic traditions to ensure a proper balance of each herb introduced into the liquid nutritional. Even though some may believe that more of one herb, such as ginger is better, the body can only use so much of herb effectively. The adoptogenic properties of each herb introduces in Zrii help to potentiate the effects of the other herbs and drive it deeper into the system.

Vitamin C - The Key to Great Health

By Srivathshan Nagarajan

Vitamin C is important to all animals, including humans, because it is vital to the production of collagen. Vitamin C is also important because it helps protect the fat-soluble vitamins A and E as well as fatty acids from oxidation. Vitamin C prevents and cures the disease scurvy, and can be beneficial in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia. I have to confess that I knew nothing until I joined my pharmacy, about what collagen was, and why it was so important? Collagen is the most ubiquitous substance in the body because it is the most abundant of the fibers contained in connective tissue. Connective tissue gives our body form and supports our organs. Collagen is everywhere in the body, and vitamin C plays a role in the formation of collagen. So, how is vitamin C involved in collagen synthesis? When collagen is produced, there is a complex series of events, some occurring inside of the cell, and some outside of the cell. Vitamin C acts inside the cell, where it adds hydrogen and oxygen to proline and lysine, the amino acids. This helps form a procollagen that is later modified into collagen outside the cell.




Vitamin C is found in citrus fruits such as oranges, limes, and grapefruit, and vegetables including tomatoes, green pepper, potatoes and many others. Vitamin C is easily damaged during the food preparation stage, such as during chopping, exposure to air, cooking, boiling, and being submerged in water. The amount of Vitamin C is high enough in most foods that the quantity that remains after processing is usually more than enough for a daily supply.

The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of vitamin C is 60 to 90 milligrams per day. Individuals who smoke cigarettes are encouraged to consume more mgs of vitamin C than average adults. This is due to the fact that smoking depletes vitamin C levels in the body and is a catalyst for biological processes which damage cells. Intake of antioxidants like vitamin C can prevent or counteract cell damage due to aging and exposure to antioxidants. A high dose of vitamin C at the beginning of a cold has shown only to reduce the severity of the symptoms rather curing or preventing the cold.

It is interesting to note that Vitamin C is used as an inexpensive preservative in many processed foods, making deficiencies even rarer.

Discover The Hidden Benefits of Natural Remedies

By William H King

Natural therapies as well as home remedies made from natural ingredients such as fruit, herbs and vegetables are become very popular. Some of the reasons for this are that home remedies are simple, have no chemicals, no side effects and are reasonably inexpensive.




Your health and the health of your family are usually quite high on your list of priorities. After all what good are you without your health?

Of course synthetic drugs are important and have saved many lives. There are often new breakthroughs in medicine that bring hope and help for the sick, which is great. But do we need to use synthetic drugs for all of our ailments.

Synthetic drugs are expensive and many have unwanted and sometimes hard to deal with side effects. So although synthetic drugs have their place, many people are going back to using natural remedies that the human race has been using for thousands of years.

The kitchen is a great place to start when looking for home remedies as it will possibly contain many of the natural medicines that you would need to deal with many common ailments. By reading up a bit on natural remedies you will be able to equip yourself to handle many illnesses from common colds to toddlers with colic or diarrhoea.

Natural medicines basically use the natural chemicals that are present within herbs, spices and other natural foods to tackle the offending foreign element in the body that is causing infection or pain. This is as opposed to flushing the body with hundreds of milligrams of strong, unnatural chemicals in the form of antibiotics. Antibiotics are necessary in many conditions, but unfortunately they are being overused in recent times and many mothers of young children will request antibiotics for their child each time they are ill. When for the overall health of your child you are best to avoid antibiotics unless they are really necessary.

Antibiotics do kill the bad bacteria that are causing the illness, but at the same time they also kill the friendly, good bacteria that our bodies need, which can make you more vulnerable to becoming sick again.

For the long term, it is much healthier for your body to use natural remedies in the case of colds, flu's, and many more ailments. There are many long term illnesses that natural remedies may also be very beneficial for without giving those bad side effects that modern medicine will give.
Although for serious illnesses it is not recommended to rely completely on natural remedies without the advice of a general practitioner as some illnesses will require synthetic medicines and could possibly be life threatening without it.

Often you may be able to combine both modern medicine and natural medicine in your treatment. Natural therapies are also very good for maintaining good health and building a strong immune system to reduce the chance of becoming ill.

Natural remedies can effectively be used to treat a number of illnesses through regular usage. It can be beneficial to boost your child's immune system, to prevent hair loss, treat acne, dandruff and aches and pains and minor burns. There are many uses for natural remedies so do some research and find out just what is in your kitchen that can help you deal with some of those ailments.

Grape Therapy

By David McMillin

In addition to being a tasty and nutritious food, grapes can provide wonderful therapeutic benefits. Grapes are rich in phosphorous, potassium, and vitamin A. Grapes contain polyphenol, a heart-protective chemical.

Grape seed extract, a currently popular herbal treatment thought to improve vision by increasing blood flow in the eye's capillaries, is touted by alternative medicine practitioners as a treatment for macular degeneration and cataracts.





Cayce's Grape Therapy

Concord grape juice was suggested by Cayce as a dietary supplement to aid in reducing weight in cases of obesity. Grape monodieting was also sometimes recommended for internal cleansing.

Edgar Cayce sometimes prescribed grape therapy for abdominal discomfort associated with bowel disease (see companion article). In such cases, Cayce often recommended that Concord variety grapes be eaten, drunk as juice, and used in abdominal poultices. Although he never prescribed grape seed extract, he insisted that the grapes contain the seed. He said the action of the tartaric acid in the seed is desirable.

The regimen for grape therapy in colitis varies depending upon the condition of the individual. Including quantities of grapes and grape juice in the diet is encouraged. The grape poultice should be used at least once each week. For acute conditions, the poultice may be used almost continuously until relief is achieved. Here are some tips for making the grape poultice:

Use Concord variety grapes with seeds.
Crush the grapes and use the hull and pulp.

Place about 1 to 1 1/2 inches of grape hull and pulp between layers of gauze.
Use the poultice over the whole abdomen from the stomach to the caecum.
Leave the poultice on until it is dry and warm.

Home Remedies for Bronchitis - Which Remedies Do Wonders

By Peter Rodrick

Bronchitis refers to the inflammation of the bronchial tree, an important organ of respiratory track in the human body. Since the organ is related to the respiratory track, any adverse condition affecting the organ will affect the breathing too and therefore, in bronchitis, there will be difficulty in breathing. The condition occurs when the inner-wall that lines the main air passage of the lungs gets infected and then becomes inflamed.




There are many causes for bronchitis; one of the most common is infection. The infection can be due to virus or bacteria. Whatever the cause is, generally the condition may subside within couple of days without any great efforts except giving some proper antibiotic but if it is severe, it may turn to a worse condition in which, the breathing, sometimes gets difficult.

The bronchitis is closely related to another health ailment called bronchiolitis in which, there will be inflammation of bronchi. In both the conditions, the symptoms will remain almost same such as difficulty in breathing, coughing and wheezing sound may be heard by stethoscope or if they are severe, by distance too.

Some of the useful home remedies for bronchitis are mentioned below -

• One of the proven home remedy for bronchitis is taking one glass of milk then adding half teaspoon of turmeric powder and drinking it two to three times a day regularly on daily basis. It is advisable to have it on empty stomach.

• Another great home remedies is usage of the wonder drug ginger. This wonderful herb serves as the anti inflammatory and mucolytic. For this, take about ½ teaspoon each of ginger powder, pepper and cloves. One can either prepare tea by using that mixture or else one can simply lick that mixture powder with honey. This will help in boosting the immunity of a patient.

• Onion has great value as a remedy. One should take one teaspoon of raw onion juice in the morning for at least 4 months.

• One of the best home remedies for bronchitis is take 50 gm of fresh spinach leaves and 250 ml of water. Add a bit of ammonium chloride and one teaspoon of honey to it. Take this mixture works wonderfully in curing bronchitis.

• For treating bronchitis, heat little bit castor oil planet leaves on a pan. Cool and then spread them on the chest of the affected person. This is to be done overnight. One should be cautious as castor oil planet is poisonous and therefore, should not be taken internally.

• One can also mix a mustard powder with equal amount of flour and water. Smear the mixture on the chest area of an affected person. One thing is to be noticed that some people might be sensitive to the mustard as it might sting and therefore, test on a small area first.

• Drinking fresh cabbage juice every day is good for bronchitis.

• One can pour a cup of boiling water into a cup with grind or cut horseradish root. Let it be for about five minutes and then drink it. Repeat three times a day for about 7 days.

• One can also put ½ tsp of licorice root tea in a cup of hot water. Let it be cool for ten minutes, strain and drink. Repeat thrice a day. This gives good results.

Mysterious Ginseng

By David McMillin

Ginseng has always mystified me. My earliest recollections of this peculiar herb are linked to my grandfather who was raised in the hills of Tennessee where "digging sang" was an important source of supplemental income.

I recall walking through the woods with him, digging up the roots which later would be dried and sold at astounding prices. Unfortunately, I was never able to consistently spot the distinctive pattern of leaves when searching for this plant, which only added to the mystery.




Years later when I became aware of the Cayce readings that prescribed ginseng, the mystery deepened even more. In over one hundred and thirty readings Cayce extolled the therapeutic virtues of ginseng, agreeing with the ancients that ginseng is "the basis of the stimulation of life in its very essence in the body of man." (636-1) Another reading is even more explicit in its depiction of the inherent vitality of this plant: "Wild Ginseng, which is as an essence of the flow of the vitality within the system itself. It is an electrifying of the vital forces themselves." (404-4) One reading (5596-1) noted that ginseng acted upon the glands of the body, especially the pineal gland (another mysterious entity!).

In addition to its vitality-enhancing qualities, Edgar Cayce recommended wild ginseng root as a stimulant to the entire glandular and digestive systems. Combined with ginger and lactated pepsin, ginseng was also commonly recommended for colitis and intestinal problems.

Although the readings did not specify national sources (e.g., American, Chinese, Korean, Manchurian, etc.), there was a consistent insistence on "wild" ginseng.

Ginseng Basics

The name ginseng is derived from the Chinese word jen-shen, which describes the shape of the root and means "manlike." The manlike or spindleshaped root produces a straight stem with three large compound leaves, each composed of five serrated leaflets. The flowers, which bloom in June and July, are tiny green-white to light pink blossoms. Bright red berries are produced in late summer.

Ginseng has a long history of use in China where it has been used for centuries as a cure-all with properties reputed to increase longevity and vitality. Also native to the Americas, ginseng was used by certain North American Indian tribes to relieve nausea and as an ingredient in love potions. Today, ginseng is used extensively to increase body strength and vitality. It is also used for stress management based on its reputation for reducing fatigue, depression, and anxiety. American ginseng is native to the woodlands of eastern and central North America. The wild American ginseng that my grandfather dug once grew in profusion but now has become quite rare. Cultivated varieties grown in shaded fields are common in the Eastern United States and Canada. Even the regions of China that are traditionally known for the quality of their wild ginseng have succumbed to the modern pressures of supply and demand that push for the cultivation this precious herb.

Wild Ginseng

Cayce's insistence on "wild" ginseng is consistent with ancient Chinese medicine. The traditional Chinese position is that slower growing wild plants, which are harvested at an older age, absorb more vital power from the natural environment. Cultivated ginseng, which does not have to compete with other woodland plants for nutrients or water, grows much faster and is harvested at an earlier age before it has accumulated its full vital potential.

This theory is supported by obvious differences in appearance. Wild ginseng root is dark tan in color, relatively small, light in weight, and gnarled in appearance with many concentric growth rings that are forked (resembling the human form). Wild ginseng root typically has a long neck.

Cream-colored cultivated roots tend to be large, smooth, and heavy with a shape resembling a carrot. Furthermore, the domesticated variety usually has a short neck.

Intensely cultivated ginseng is vulnerable to fungal diseases that are controlled by vigorous use of fungicides. The possibility of pesticide residues in cultivated crops is a major concern for health-conscious consumers.

With the rarity of wild ginseng and health concerns associated with the cultivated crops, some ginseng farmers have adopted a middle ground of planting ginseng in a wild setting and allowing it to develop naturally. Wild simulated ginseng has the appearance (and presumably the vital potency) of truly wild ginseng at a reduced price.

Ginseng Supplements

In the United States, the dried root of ginseng is typically consumed as an ingredient in a dietary supplement. This makes ginseng largely unregulated in terms of potency and pesticide residues. The presence of ginseng in a laboratory sample is determined by levels of a distinctive chemical called ginsenoside. Researchers who analyzed twenty-five ginseng products from a California health-food store found that the level of ginsenodsides varies greatly in powders and capsules (a fifteen-fold difference) and even more in liquid extracts (thirty-six fold difference). Most of the products failed to list their ginsenoside levels on the label. When listed, the measured ginsenoside levels ranged from 11 percent to 330 percent of the stated amount.




Another study that focused on pesticides and heavy metals found significant levels of hexachlorobenzene - a potential human carcinogen - in one of five products labeled as containing "Korean Ginseng." Two other pesticides, quintozene and lindane, were also found to be above acceptable levels. None of the products were contaminated with heavy metals.

Variability is not uncommon in the unregulated American dietary supplement industry. European herbal suppliers are generally much more closely regulated. Here are some tips to keep in mind if you are considering using ginseng:

Buy from reputable suppliers of dietary supplements.
Insist on wild or wild simulated sources.
Most importantly, monitor your own response to the herb. Trust your intuition as to the potency of the product that you have purchased.

Hopefully, the ginseng that you obtain will be dug by a benevolent "wildcrafter" such as my grandfather.

A word of caution: Ginseng may interact with certain medications such as the blood-thinning drug Coumadin. Research reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine (July 2004) indicates that ginseng may reduce that drug's effectiveness. As a general principle, it is always a good idea to be alert to possible herb/medicine interactions.

Natural Remedies Are Still The Best For Menopausal Symptoms

By Sharon A Bell

You laugh at all the jokes about old women. But when it is your time to be in their shoes, suddenly those jokes are not funny anymore. For many women like you, menopause is just around the corner. And the list of problems that you will encounter is anything but short. Think anxiety, nervousness, emotional unpredictability, muscle cramps, hot flashes, the list just goes on and on.




But before you think that all these menopausal symptoms are just imaginary, you need to take a look at how the quality of life for so many women have been exposed to real health hazards. It should not surprise you then that for many, finding the solution or the way to escape the perils of menopause has become a preoccupation.

In its early days, hormone replacement therapy or HRT has been viewed as the most promising way of dealing with the many symptoms of menopause. However, many women today have known about the risks that HRT can bring, such as cancer and heart ailments. In view of these dangers, there has been a growing trend towards choosing natural means of suppressing menopausal syndrome.

Finding the right natural remedy to treat the symptoms of menopause is never easy. Actually, it can be downright confusing and frustrating for some. And the group of women and medical experts who are skeptical about natural remedies are making things more complicated by sowing seeds of doubt among sufferers of menopause. At any rate, no one can blame those who are critical about natural menopause treatment because, really, there are products out there that are supposedly made from natural ingredients but offer nothing more than empty promises.

Before you begin choosing any natural means of managing menopausal symptoms, you must know what causes all these problems. The word is estrogen; the depletion of estrogen levels in your body is basically the fuse at which all the symptoms you are having are set off. You must bring back the balance of estrogen hormones in your body if you want to make your life easy during your menopausal stage.

This is where certain plants can come in handy. There are some plants that can induce your body to produce hormones which can include estrogen; while other plants can provide you with a sort of estrogen-in-a-can because they contain substances that are similar to estrogen hormones. Overall, there are countless plants that contain hormone-inducing substances; however, only a few can be beneficial for your endocrine system-that part which produces all your hormones.

Among these hormone plants, maca or Lepidium meyenii shows the most assuring characteristics against menopausal syndrome. Maca is native to that part of the Andes mountain range located in Peru and Bolivia. This plant has been used as a traditional medicinal herb and vegetable since the time of the Incas.

Today, maca is a primary ingredient in most natural anti-menopausal syndrome treatment. This plant has been found to encourage your endocrine system to create your body's much needed hormones, which include estrogen; hence, it has been a popular option for women who do not want to have hormone replacement therapy.

Proofs of maca's curative characteristics against menopausal symptoms are widespread among the women of Peru who do not suffer from symptoms like hot flashes, memory lapses or low stamina during their menopausal stage. For over a thousand years since the time of the Incas, women in Peru have consumed maca from as early as their third birthday to protect them from menopausal syndrome later in life.

Maca is just one of the natural ways of dealing with the problems of menopause. If you want the combined benefits from other natural remedies, you can also use products like Zalestra. Visit http://www.zalestra.com/ to learn more about how to deal with menopausal stage.

Be Happy with Aromatherapy

By Emma Watson

Winter is drawing in and the weather is getting colder; with the changes in season and weather, there is also a change in my mood. It happens every year, I just don't want to say goodbye to the sunshine and my mood blackens along with the clouds in the sky.




I tell myself that winter will soon be over and spring is just around the corner, just be patient, but it doesn't help. I am feeling down and need to lift my mood in preparation for the long and dreary winter months. What can I do to lift my spirits? At times like these I turn to my aromatherapy oils.

Aromatherapy is not a magical cure for all that ails me, but by choosing the right essential oils I can create some wonderfully scented oils, which remind me of spring / summer and start the healing process.

On the dark winter mornings I need something stimulating to wake up with. Essential oil soap is ideal for this. I have an excellent citrus aromatherapy soap I use for this very reason. Made using grapefruit and lemon essential oils, the soap is the perfect wake up call. The fruity scents are invigorating, stimulating and bring about visions of tropical fruit trees in the sun.

On the way to work I turn to Eucalyptus essential oil. A few drops on my handkerchief and I can smell the refreshing and stimulating vapours at any time during the long train journey to work.

This is usually enough to see me through the day at work, but sometimes the pressures of work mount and I return home stressed and short tempered. I need to relax so I turn to my trusted aromatherapy kit once again.

A relaxing bath is what I need, so I run a bath and add about four drops of lavender essential oil to relax me. I also add a couple of drops of rose essential oil as I love the sweet scent of roses, which remind me of an English garden in the springtime. If I am ready for bed I may exchange the rose essential oil for chamomile oil to help me sleep.

These are a few of my favourite ways of using aromatherapy within my daily life, to help lift my spirits. Try using a few of these techniques to lift your mood. You can experiment with your favourite essential oils to find your preferred blends and techniques.

Is Acai Berry Fruit the Best Antioxidant Source in the World?

By Abdullah Faris

One of the main reasons why the little purple-colored berry from the Amazon rain forest has grown in popularity and worldwide fame in such a short period after being introduced to the general public, is because of this fruit's mega antioxidant power. Acai is presently being recognized as the supreme superfood providing super potent antioxidant properties. This small berry fruit has so far proven itself to possess up to 10 times the antioxidants of grapes and at least twice the antioxidant power of blueberries. In addition to that, acai berry is quite rich in Vitamin E, protein, fiber, trace minerals, and contains a high degree of three kinds of omegas and essential fatty acids.




Why are Antioxidants in General So Important to Us? The National Cancer Institute have stated that there is actual a lot of laboratory proof revealing that antioxidants can in fact slow or even stop the dangerous growth of cancer. Antioxidants are believed to possess the incredibly unique ability to protect cells from the potential damage that is caused by molecules widely known as "free radicals." Know that enough damages that are caused by free radicals can eventually lead to some form of cancer in your lifetime. So the many antioxidants in the acai berry fruit can truly help to prevent the destruction that free radicals often cause.

Acai is a Crucial Source of Anthocyanin. The acai fruit is widely becoming well-known as an important source for its antioxidant anthocyanin. Anthocyanin belongs in a group of phytochemicals that are found in red wine and that have almost been proven as fact to have a positive effect on the cardiovascular system. This particular antioxidant has demonstrated itself to help improve circulation, fight cancer, and prevent both blood clots and artherosclerosis. In addition, the acai fruit contains oleic acid which helps maintain a healthy heart.

At the heart of anthocyanin in acai fruit is something called cyaniding-3 glucoside, which is about 3.5 times more powerful in comparison to the anthocyanin that is found in red wine as shown in an ORAC examination. ORAC actually means Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity. This is a method that is used to test the level of antioxidant activity of a property in question. It has been said that the average human being needs around 1670 ORAC everyday. The amazing acai berry provides an astounding ORAC level of 3871.

So now you know why this amazing little fruit from the Amazon rain forest of Brazil has grown in wild popularity in such a short period of time.

Coffee and Health

By Iulia Pascanu

From the year dot, my mother taught all her children that coffee was not bad for you. But of course it is. As a result, I managed to keep away from coffee, at least until the difficult age of 10, when, as I recall, I was allowed to join my mother and her neighbors in their regular gossip sessions at the coffee table.




That was when I started to exercise my taste buds on coffee. In those days, I developed a liking for coffee with milk. Perhaps I should have said I drank milk with coffee. However, I know now that the coffee I was drinking back then really was not so good. It was pre-ground, over-boiled and sometimes brewed with the grounds from the day before. Could you imagine anything worse? No wonder I wanted to hide that hideous flavor with tons of milk.

In the meantime, I probably took a good sip of coffee on the road and woke up to a much more pleasant reality. Coffee can be very good. But why do so many voices whisper that coffee and health do not belong together?

Caffeine

Call it food or beverage, coffee is free of any nutritional value. As indecent as it may sound, we consume it exclusively for pleasure.

Yes, the caffeine content in coffee is partly responsible for that pleasure. Caffeine acts as a mild stimulant across the central nervous system. It leads to a better memory, better judgments and idea associations, better coordination of body movement.

A single-serve espresso contains between 80 and 120 milligrams of caffeine. A normal cup of coffee (even drip coffee) contains about 100 - 150 milligrams of caffeine. Common sense calls this moderate consumption at one sitting. Within several hours (although this may vary from one person to another) caffeine is eliminated from the body. Average coffee drinkers can have three or four cups of coffee every day without from any health risk.

As with other foods and beverages, the effects of coffee consumption vary with the dose. Moderate coffee-drinking can be medicinal. Excessive coffee-drinking can be poison. The average female coffee drinker can experience ill-effects after ingesting 550 milligrams at one session. The amount for males is 700 milligrams. These effects refer to headaches, nausea and petulance. Ten grams of caffeine constitutes an overdose. This would be impossible to reach exclusively by drinking coffee. You would need to ingest 100 cups at one session. If you ever do, this may be the last thing you will ever do.

Coffee consumption is not recommended when certain health problems arise. While we have no solid proof for this it is wise to avoid unwanted risks.

Acidity

Acidity describes the sour component of the coffee taste. It is particularly strong in Arabica coffee and in light roasts. It may have a negative effect on digestion. People less tolerant of acidity but who still wish to drink coffee, can choose a decaffeinated coffee or a natural low-acidity coffee from Brazil, India or the Caribbean.

Other effects noted (for example, in pregnant women) have not been proved to be significantly negative. The medical community today has tended to clear coffee of long-term negative effects upon human health.

The beneficial effects of coffee

Coffee has proved beneficial for asthma sufferers. Two to four small cups of coffee throughout the day will help to reduce the recurrence of astma-attacks, and moderate their intensity.

Coffee contains natural antioxidants called 'flavonoids' which are widely known as disease protectors.

The beneficial effects of moderate caffeine consumption are widely recognised: caffeine works on alertness, mood, sensorial activity and memory. Of course, you may choose to take your daily caffeine ration from other foods and beverages, such as chocolate, carbonated drinks based on coca-nut extract, or tea.




Beside these effects, more or less proved by the medical community, I would mention one more: the pure pleasure of sipping a good cup of coffee. If every person on this planet did this every day, I believe there would be fewer wars, suicides and health problems generally, fewer people who suffer from depression. But I could be wrong.

Herbal Sex Supplements

By Michael Rodriguez

There are numerous herbal supplements on the market today that increase sexual performance and satisfaction. How is one to choose which of these products is the right one to try? Trying to sort through the various descriptions can be time-consuming and frustrating. Therefore, when delving into the world of herbal sex supplements, it is important to know basic information concerning herbal remedies.




When looking for an herbal remedy, it is important to find one that states it falls under the category of herbal Se supplements. The Se stands for standardized extract, meaning the ingredients are carefully measured and formulated so that each tablet or capsule contains the exact same portion of ingredients. Some herbal supplements do not offer this imperative procedure; therefore, the doses will vary, even in the same bottle.

In order to gain such goals as penis enlargement, increased sperm count, or heightened sexual desire, the incorporation of herbal Se supplements is the key. With anything else, results will vary due to the variance in the dosages taken daily. When dosages vary, consistent results are much more difficult, if not impossible, to achieve.

A prime example of herbal Se supplements can be found by researching supplements such as the MacaEnhancer or Vig-Rx. There are numerous herbal Se supplements available, and finding which one is right for your needs is simply a matter of research. Maca root has become in an increasingly popular herbal sex supplement. When combined with amino acids, the mixture will result in not only enhanced sex, but also increased semen production. When shopping for herbal sex supplements, look for ones that contain those two key ingredients and try to find one that offers vitamins as well.

Getting the right ingredients from a supplement that utilizes a standardized extract procedure will ensure that you’re using a quality product, leading to the best results. When researching for the right supplement to use, the very first thing to look for is if the supplements being studied are herbal Se supplements. If not, then do not waste any time or money on them. There are simply too many other products available that are proven to work without wasting effort on those supplements that are made with less than quality standards.

So what makes any food or drink qualify to be called "gourmet"?

Well, in general it means that a particular food or drink is considered above average in quality, and will appeal even to those who have the most discriminating tastes. It also usually means that a lot of time and effort has gone into it's preparation too.

5. Seafood - There are lots of seafoods that have been specially prepared as gourmet foods including smoked herring, oysters, shrimp and lobster rolls and bisques. There's lots more in this category too and again you can often get samplers for taste testing in advance.

Alternative Medicine or Prescription Drugs

By Duane Jacobson

Alternative medicine is made up of all natural products, contains no preservatives. There are NO side effects and will not damage your organs like prescription drugs. Yet, people feel that they can trust only prescription drugs... knowingly, there are side effects and will damage organs, cells, and sometimes even the nervous system.




Please check out what the Scientists are saying about Alternative Medicine:

This is defined as therapeutic practices which are not currently considered an integral part of conventional allopathic medical practice. They may lack biomedical explanations but as they become better researched some, such as physical therapy, diet, and acupuncture, become widely accepted whereas others, such as humors or radium therapy, quietly fade away, yet are important historical footnotes. Therapies are termed as Complementary when used in addition to conventional treatments and as Alternative when used instead of conventional treatment.

The National Library of Medicine's previous definition was an unrelated group of non-orthodox therapeutic practices, often with explanatory systems that do not follow conventional biomedical explanations and non-orthodox therapeutic systems which have no satisfactory scientific explanation for their effectiveness.

Alternative therapies include, but are not limited to the following disciplines: folk medicine, herbal medicine, diet fads, homeopathy, faith healing, new age healing, chiropractic, acupuncture, naturopathy, massage, and music therapy.

A health or medical practice is called "alternative" if it is based on untested, untraditional, or unscientific principles, methods, treatments, or knowledge. "Alternative" medicine is often based upon metaphysical beliefs and is frequently anti-scientific. Because truly "alternative" medical practices would be ones that are known to be equally or nearly equally effective, most "alternative" medical practices are not truly "alternative," but quackery. If the "alternative" health practice is offered along with conventional medicine, it is referred to as "complementary" medicine.

From my own experience, I will tell you this... My mother was being treated for her Diabetes, which it was also effecting her respiratory system. She was put on a prescription drug, which caused her problems and weakened her lungs. At this time, she had other medical issues and the Specialist added more prescription medicines to her list of inventory, for her to take on a daily basis. Educating her self about nutrition and how you can reverse your illnesses by taking "Natural Alternative Medicines."

My mother did not quit her prescription medications, but used the Alternative Medicine as an aid to help her. She took these for fourteen years before she passed away. Anytime she would be entered into the hospital, her Internal Medicine Physician would allow her to take the Alternative Medicine with her prescriptions. Even he stated to me, "With your mother taking the Alternative Medicine it assisted her on a daily basis and I'm sure it extended her life, for the past fourteen years."

American Medical Association and most Insurance Companies do "NOT" support the Alternative or Complementary Medicine. Also, they are working overtime to eliminate the Alternative Industry. Are they intimidated? Is there guilt of them being wrong about the Alternative Medicine? Are people living longer by educating them self, by using the Natural Products? Probably yes on all questions. I hope this information will help give you better understanding and it will also extend your life.

Glucosamine Chondroitin & Arthritis - A Health Supplement

By Alfred Jones

Many millions of people are affected by pain and suffering from Arthritis and research has shown that Glucosamine and Chondroitin sulphates combined have given these people new hope and relief from their painful ailments.




Many medicines are available to reduce pain, but some of them have serious side effects, some that have even proven to be fatal.

Both substances are Natural complex sugar like molecules that the body uses to rebuild cartilage and restore movement to Arthritic joints. It is important to remember that Glucosamine and Chondroitin are an amazingly safe and easy to use mixture, especially when compared with other forms of treatment.

Loss of cartilage can result in damage to the bone and the development of Osteoarthritis, which ends up as pain and disability. Cartilage is the key to healthy joints, and maintaining a healthy cartilage throughout life is critical to healthy joints and continued movement of joints.

As we age, or as the result of injuries, our ability to renew cartilage diminishes, causing damage to bone ends as they rub together. Glucosamine and Chondroitin can actually help to rebuild cartilage, therefore, improving joint health.

Taking the two compounds proves to be a very easy way of maintaining joint health and helping to alleviate pain and disability.

Cartilage rebuilding is a slow process, but with the right amounts of Glucosamine and Chondroitin benefits to mobility and pain relief can be seen within two to six weeks, it is recommended though that it should be taken daily for at least three months.

Engagement in mild or moderate exercise on a regular basis, would help in providing joint mobility.

Most users would need something like 1250mg to 1500mg of Glucosamine a day and about 1000mg to 1200mg of Chondroitin a day.

You should check with a Physician or Natural Health Care provider before commencing treatment.

Glyconutrients contain Glucosamine along with seven other sugars or polysaccharides.

Apparently the cooking process enhances the Lycopine in the Tomato, which has proven so beneficial.

It has now shown to be useful for cardiovascular problems, it decreases platelet activity, thereby reducing the level of blood clotting.

When the blood vessels of people with cardiovascular disease are damaged, platelet activity sometimes fails to switch off and clogs the vessels.

Garlic Can Kill Superbug - A Health Supplement

By Alfred Jones

The Superbug MRSA which is becoming more common in Hospitals, it has now developed a lethal strain, that has already killed a number of patients.

Doctor Ron Cutler, a microbiologist at the University of East London, in the United Kingdom, says that Allicin, which is a completely natural extract from Garlic, has shown remarkable success on patients with MRSA.





He has worked on this project for six years and he says that Allicin, not only kills MRSA, but also the increasing number of New Generation Superbugs, that are immune to the normal Antibiotics. We should always remember that all Antibiotics are natural, or dirivitives from Natural Products.

Allicin is the part of the Garlic that causes the pungent odour, but Doctor Cutler has developed a odourless version.

At this stage the reseach success rate, is very promising.

Due to the chemicals in the air that we breathe and the food that we eat, it is essential that we take care of our Immune System, as it is the system given us at birth, to fight off illnesses and diseases, the natural way. Unfortunately, in this day and age, the Immune System is in continual battle with the elements that surround us.

The only solution to this situation is to consider taking nutrition that helps the Immune System to function efficiently. Garlic is obviously one of the important items that can help. There are many others and I will tell you more about them in other articles.

Health Care and Health Insurance Costs Can Be Controlled Through Lifestyle Choices

By Michael Ertel

As you probably know all to well, the cost of healthcare and health insurance premiums continue to increase at levels substantially above the general inflation rate. The reasons given for these extraordinary cost increases are numerous and include: technological advancements in the medical field, increased demand for medical services and prescription drugs, the aging of the population, cost shifting caused by the uninsured and governmental reimbursement rates, state and federal mandates, and costs associated with medical related lawsuits.




As individual consumers, we have very little control over some of the factors contributing to the cost of healthcare. However, all of us have control over lifestyle related health insurance claims. A simple formula of eating a balanced diet, getting the appropriate amount of daily exercise, participating in annual physicals and other recommended routine care, limiting alcohol consumption, and eliminating the use of tobacco products will no doubt reduce our personal healthcare costs. In addition to reducing medical costs, the other benefits of following such a formula include more energy, self confidence, less stress, and increased productivity. If you are not doing so already, I encourage you to consider practical ways to promote a healthy lifestyle for you and your family. For example, one of the individual health insurance companies my organization works with has an option that will offset 25% of the annual cost of a health club membership. Simple things such as taking a walk, bike ride, or going swimming promote both a healthy body and mind. If you have a sweet tooth, consider limiting yourself to eating desert once a week. You will enjoy it more and your body will thank you.

Health insurance premiums will continue to increase as long as the cost of healthcare continues to go up. The best way to reduce the overall cost of healthcare is to decrease our need for healthcare. Healthy lifestyle choices and prudent use of the healthcare system are the best and easiest ways to get a handle on our healthcare expenditures. Perhaps the greatest benefit of a healthy lifestyle is our ability to enjoy our precious time here on earth to the fullest.





Michael Ertel is the President of Ertel & Company, Inc. and has over 15 years of experience in the health insurance business. He is the founder of MedicalInsuranceNow.com which is an internet based service that assists individuals, families, and small business owners by providing side by side comparisons of health insurance alternatives and the convenience of applying for health coverage online.

Can You Drink Your Way To Good Health?

By Garry Gamber

Many years ago I became convinced of the need to take vitamin and mineral supplements. Although I tried to eat healthy meals, mixing salads, fruits and vegetables, proteins and grains as wisely as I could, numerous studies pointed out the need to add nutritional supplements to my diet.





Major Study

The major study that caught my attention most strongly was the 1977-1978 USDA National Food Consumption Survey (Crocetti and Guthrie, 1982). This study surveyed the 3-day dietary records of over 21,500 individuals. Among other findings the study showed that not one person consumed 100% of the Recommended Daily Allowance for the top ten nutrients.

That was a rather shocking finding. Not one single person! I prided myself in eating well, but I decided that it would be a good idea to supplement my meals with additional vitamins and minerals.

Taking Tablets

I started out by taking a single multivitamin daily. Then, over the years I added additional tablets of antioxidants, namely vitamin C and vitamin E. In more recent years I added calcium tablets and B vitamin tablets to my routine. As you can guess, the result was that I was taking 5 tablets of supplements twice a day.

Does that sound familiar to you? That’s a lot of tablets to swallow. Taking that many tablets each day was never pleasant for me. Many times I wished that there was an easier way to take the supplements that I felt I needed.

Liquid Supplements

Then a friend introduced me to a nutritional supplement that I could drink. Now that made sense. A good, potent liquid nutritional was certainly much easier and much tastier than a handful of tablets.

The convenience and good taste of the liquid was enough to convince me to abandon the tablet delivery system. But I learned further that the liquid form of the vitamins and minerals was more apt to be easily absorbed by my body than were the old tablets.

Absorption

Unfortunately tablets do not always digest fully in the stomach. Sometimes they only digest partially as they pass through the digestive system which allows only part of their potency to be absorbed by the cells. In fact, the Physician’s Desk Reference, a highly respected reference book, once reported that the absorbency of vitamin tablets can be as low as 10%. What that means is that very little of the available nutrients are actually utilized by the body and its cells.

By contrast, vitamins and minerals in a liquid form can be absorbed by the body’s cells at a much higher rate. As high as 95%. The liquid is more easily digested and absorbed by the digestive system than tablets are. Further, the absorbency of the liquid vitamins starts at the tongue and beneath the tongue. This sublingual delivery helps to get the nutritional benefit to the cells much faster.

How does this work? Take nitroglycerin for example. Nitroglycerin is effective for combating anginal chest pains associated with heart disease. An effective way to deliver the nitroglycerin is to place it beneath the tongue at the first sign of chest pain. This sublingual delivery gets the nitroglycerin into the bloodstream and to the chest pain much faster than it would if it had to be swallowed, digested, and absorbed into the bloodstream through the digestive system.

Similarly, vitamins and minerals will absorb into the bloodstream and to the cells much faster in liquid or spray form. For example, vitamin B-12 is an important vitamin, but as we get older we lose the stomach secretions necessary to digest and absorb the vitamin through the normal digestive process. The solution to the problem is to deliver vitamin B-12 in either a spray or a sublingual form. That way the potency of the vitamin is delivered quickly to the cells and the digestive system is bypassed.

How To Choose

Taste really counts. If it doesn’t taste good, you won’t be likely to take the supplement on a regular basis. If it tastes good, you will. So will your children.

There are numerous liquid nutritional supplements available on the market. Typical flavors include orange-mango, cherry, and cranberry among others. My personal favorite is a rich cranberry concentrate. Not only does the taste make my mouth water, but it is good to know that cranberries have properties that help to cleanse and to remove toxins from the urinary tract.

A good liquid nutritional supplement should use aloe vera as its base rather than water. Liquid aloe vera contains more than 39 essential vitamins and minerals and all 23 amino acids. Further, liquid aloe vera is a powerful healer. It is one of the best stomach and intestine cleansers known. And it is a wonderful oxygenator, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory.

Most good liquid nutritional supplements will utilize sea vegetation as its source of vitamins and minerals. A good mix of sea vegetation will contain an important natural balance of all of the essential vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, and enzymes. The concept of balance is very important here, because the body’s cells will utilize the nutrients much more efficiently if they are supplied in a balance normally found in nature. Further, sea vegetation can be harvested from cold, pure seawater that is free of contaminants. The body’s cells will appreciate that.

Personal Recommendation

I have sampled numerous liquid supplements and I am pleased to report that liquid supplements have grown in popularity and improved in taste and effectiveness during the past few years.

Seasilver is my personal favorite liquid nutritional and I recommend it highly to everyone. Seasilver has adopted the highest manufacturing standards and has found a blend of sea vegetation, aloe vera, and several other impressive and effective ingredients that form an outstanding foundational health supplement. And it has the great cranberry/cherry taste that I prefer. The result is that Seasilver is a powerful nutritional supplement that provides the body with nourishment at the cellular level.

Answer To The Question

So, the answer to the question originally asked is that yes you can drink your way to good health. If you have ever tired of consuming vitamin tablets or if you’ve ever wondered about the potency of artificially formulated tablets, you owe it to yourself to try a good liquid nutritional supplement. Try a bottle or two. Here’s to your good health.

Green Tea for Health - Your Heart Will Thank You

By Stacy Tabb

I began drinking green tea about five years ago after I had my cholesterol checked. I am not overweight and do not eat a lot of saturated and trans fats, but my LDL cholesterol was a little on the high side, according to my doctor. I began reading up on ways to lower my cholesterol and found a lot of information pointing to green tea as a remedy.




After learning about the beneficial properties of green tea, I started drinking two cups before and after work every day with a little bit of honey for sweetener. After a few weeks, I weaned myself off the honey and drank the tea unsweetened. I also began walking on my treadmill 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week. I didn’t change my eating habits as they were pretty good to begin with.

Six months later, I returned to the doctor for a re-check and my cholesterol had decreased by almost 50 points! Just the combination of green tea and a little exercise was the cause of this change. My physician was impressed, and I felt much better about my health.

Why not supplement your own diet with some green tea daily? You can find both caffeinated and decaffeinated varieties at your local grocery or health food store. There are also green tea capsules you can take if you are not a fan of tea or do not have time to brew a few cups a day.

In addition to cholesterol-lowering properties, green tea has also been known to have a positive effect on dental hygiene (decreased tooth decay and increased fresh breath), lowering the risk of cancer and stroke, managing weight loss and also decreasing glucose levels.

Although nobody has perfect eating and exercising habits, it is important to do all you can to protect your body from disease and illness. This way you will not only require less healthcare as you age, but you will be able to enjoy the years that you have, even when you are 70 or 80 years young. I continue to drink green tea every day and hope that more people will add it to their daily routine to live longer and healthier lives (along with exercise and a healthy diet of course!).
