Herbs to Your Health
Botanical medicine is increasingly becoming more popular. As
clinical research continues to emerge, herbs will become commonplace in the home and in
health care. Herbal remedies cannot be beat as excellent therapeutic alternatives that are
very economical with virtually no side effects. Here is some of the recent research on the
most popular herbals being used for good health.
Ginseng
It is available in three varieties, American, Korean and Siberian. Research continues on
the therapeutic effects of Ginseng in areas such as energy and optimum performance, immune
boosting and cerebrovascular health.
Garlic
It is consistently shown to have more beneficial effects than any other singular herb. The
latest breaking research continues to support allicin, the active compound that has been
research in over 75 published studies in the past 12 months alone. Some of the benefits:
lowering cholesterol, inhibiting tumor growth, reducing hypertension.
Gingko
biloba
This ancient herb is being rediscovered! Recent research published in late 1997 in the
Journal of the American Medical Association found Ginkgo to be a safe and stable way to
improve cognitive performance.
Echinacea
This immuno stimulating herb is most popular during cold and flu season. When a combination
of Echinacea and Goldenseal are administered, the sneezes disappear.
Goldenseal
Considered one of the best antifungals and infection fighters, Goldenseal has also become
increasingly popular during cold and flu season.
St. John's
Wort
Believe the HYPEricum! This natural answer to mild and moderate depression boosted sales
of this herb over 11,000% of 1997 and received more press coverage than any other
botanical. With this kind of growth, the makers of synthetic anti-depressants may become
depressed.
Saw
Palmetto
For men’s health, the berries of the saw palmetto plant can’t be beat. The
phytosterols in saw palmetto inhibit the reproduction of testosterone cells and protect
against Benign Prostate Hypertrophy.
Grape seed
extract
Grape seed extract continues to wage war in the battle against oxidation. Not only do
proanthocyanadins scavenge free radicals; they scavenged a huge part of the herbal market
and a seat in the research spotlight for anti-aging benefits.
Evening
Primrose
This rich source of essential fatty acids and phytoestrogens offers many women relief
from menopausal and premenstrual symptoms. One of the best natural women’s products
available.
