Traditional (Herbal) Herbs! Great Discoveries Are Being Lost!

Written by ama on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 in Health.

Definition: Traditional Herbs 

A traditional herb is defined as a botanic material known before history used by native people for their food and/or medicine. In all regions of the world, we owe native people our gratitude for the knowledge handed down to the people of recorded history. For example, where would the British be without the herbal herbs medicine and food plants of their Native Indians – The Scots, Irish, Celts, Picts, Faerie folk. FYI, The natives wore leathers, painted their bodies like Native Americans. They gave the world a grand resource of herbs used in natural medicine today. To mention a few- angelica, garlic, chrysanthemum, hawthorn, digitalis, licorice root, holly, seaweed, many varieties of mushrooms, etc. The past shamans or medicine men and women of all cultures have preserved a rich plant knowledge which many patients are the beneficiary in natural medicine clinics, daily.

Where do traditional herbs come from?

Common sense would tell you that they come from all over the world. All master herbalists acknowledge the source, however, this condition changing rapidly. With civilization growing and not reversing, many species are becoming extinct. Many undiscovered flora are being lost and who knows what benefit has been lost due to greed and failure to be cognizant of how, short term interests, are destroying our current and future quality of life. Around the world, major contributions have been added to the herbal medicine arsenal:

  • Asia: Ginsengs, Astragalus, Chinese mushrooms (Yunzhi, Reishi), etc.  
  • North America: Aloe Vera, American ginseng, Alfalfa, Goldenseal, Milk Thistle
  • Central America: peppers, Cumin, Paprika, Oregano, Hibiscus, Coriander, avocado
  • South America: Maca, Guarana, Yerba Maté, Pau d’ Arco, Muira Puama, Jatoba, Catuaba
  • India: Ashwagandha, Gymnema Sylvestre, Ashoka, Guggulu, Dashmoola     
  • Africa: Yohimbe, Hoodia, Rooibus, Bangalala, Sacred Blue Lily, Ubulawu, Bush Potato
  • Europe: Chamomile, Valerian, Anise, Plantain, Fennel, Rosemary, Senna Leaf    
  • Australia: Eucalyptus, Tea tree, Wattleseeds, Morama bean & nuts, Bush lime

Benefits of Combining Herbs from Around the World

In the past, most of regional herbal medicine practices have operated separate from the other. Some initial bridges were created in the 1970s, between the US and Europe. With different migrations of Asian medicine practitioners, some trust was developed between specific practitioners and their students. The result was to create student-authors willing to share their knowledge. This raised the general knowledge while allowing more passionate herbalists to further their development. The 1980s began more sharing of the Ayurvedic tradition, These two sophisticated methodologies joining with the Three Americas has yielded a vast exchange of herbal knowledge. This synergy of sharing is improving everyone’s practice. The separatists approach has succumbed to practitioners who are more inclusive and open-minded, Patients are getting better and more impressed with the results. Patients are looking for substitutes for conventional medicine and its here to settle, if unhindered by the Big Pharma interests. The internet is improving information access. The bottom line here is that a single thesis of knowledge will collide with another thesis. The result will be synthesis, if both sides are open, then a new improved idea will take hold. A World Herbal system is here now! Our alternative medicine education systems are assisting. When added up, its a great time for the patient/client. The delivery of treatment is outstanding and progressing.

How Serious Are You? Away With Anxiety!

Written by ama on Wednesday, November 25th, 2009 in Health.

The cause of anxiety is well established. When enough stress is presented to the physical-mental-emotional body, nervous behaviors are likely to surface. Excessive concern and thought may disturb initial stages of restful sleep. When the internal organs do not have enough energy then they will create disturbing sensations such as palpitations, spasms, high blood pressure, restless leg, etc. attributable to energy deficiency.Regard yourself, eliminate waking activities during rest time, add exercise, allow only sensitive people in your personal space until you are sustain the challenges. Eat nutritious food and take natural herbs that don’t add to the imbalance but rather help in re-establishing your center. Consider working with a counselor/pychotherapist to find alternatives to your current anxiety management strategies. 

Here is one piece of the puzzle. Food preferences known to minimize the internal environment of anxiety. 

ANXIETY FREE DIET 

Foods to Counter Anxiety: Apricot, Cherry, Date, Fig, Grape, Grapefruit, Olive, Papaya, Peach, Strawberry, Tomato, Beet, Button mushroom, Cabbage, Carrot, Celery, Chard, Cucumber, Eggplant, Kuzu, Lettuce, Potato, Shitake mushroom, Spearmint, Squash, Sweet Potato, Yam, Almond, Chestnut, Coconut, Sesame seed/oil, Sunflower seed, Amasake, stevia, Agave nectar, Ganoderm, Dill, Basil, Mulberry, Lemons, Brown rice, Oats, Ghee, Green tea

Foods to Avoid: Beef, Tofu, Tempeh, Soy milk, Spinach, Miso, Asparagus, , Millet, Salt, Seaweed, Tangerine, Pinenut, Persimmon, Pear, Honey, Sugar, Oyster, Clam, Mussel, Pork, Peanut

Processed Foods to Avoid: Artificial Sweeteners, Coffee, Wine (beyond 1 oz. per day), Baked Beans (sugar), Baked Goods (doughnuts, cakes contain excess trans fats, sugars), Breakfast Cereals (sugar, processed grain, low nutrition), Campbell’s Condensed Soups (hi sodium), pot pies (hi calory/fat), Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) foods, Hotdogs (unknown ingredients, sodium nitrate), Luncheon Meats (too many additives, sodium nitrate), Margarine (highly toxic), Ramen Noodles (no nutrients, excess sodium), Refined Vegetable Oils (corn, cottonseed, soybeans, safflower seeds and canola), Saltines (excess carb & sodium), Sausages & cured meats (too many additives, sodium nitrate), White & Wheat bread (no nutrition), White Pasta (extremely hi carb & sodium), White Potatoes (solanine-calcium depletion & arthritic pain), Chips & French fries, Cocktails (excess sugar/liver toxicity), Fruit Juice (loaded w/ sugar), Fruit Smoothie (loaded w/ syrup, make your own), Dairy products except goat’s milk (pure mucous), Sodas (removes rust from metal, excess carbon dioxide, imbalances digestive system), Excessive Protein (loss of calcium, damages kidneys)

 

When I had an anxiety attack, I didn’t know about nutrition and herbology and at that time, I could not imagine that traditional Chinese herbs would have been effective with other modalities of treatment. In a stressed-out condition, there is a need for quick and strong relief. Longevity is founded on healthy foods, herbs and natural medicinal approaches to health and balance.

Individual Constitution will affect outcomes from all foods. Accordingly, a cold body type person needs to avoid cold foods that makes you cold. If they do, pain will show up, wherever one feels cold. Body function becomes sluggish. But in general the above selection benefits most people. To become healthy, it is highly recommended to meet with an Asian medicine-Master Herbalist who will provide a customized assessment. Notice I didn’t say accupuncturist. It is very important to find someone who specializes in Chinese herbs or herbology  and food therapy regarding customized food and herb strategies.   

Anxiety relief can be found naturally with food therapy & traditional Chinese herbs.
  

Anti Aging Medicine Can Do The Job For You!

Anti Aging Medicine Can Do The Job For You!

Signs of aging are mostly unwelcome and most of us will want to make full use of modern medicines and technologies to reverse these signs. In this regard, use of plastic surgery is often considered a viable option though one that is quite expensive and so it pays to also look at how an anti aging medicine can do the same at a lower cost. In fact, anti-aging injections are becoming increasingly popular and this is what most people look for before trying any other solution.

Injections And Anti Aging Medicine Treatment

Anti aging medicine in the form of injections is sometimes referred to as being the syringe that will ensure fountain of youth and such injections are nothing but chemically made cocktails that contain many ingredients that help improve our metabolism. The anti aging medicines made from human growth hormones or HGH,testosterone, progesterone also estrogen and something known as DHEA or Dehydroepiandrosterone.

You might also want to check out those anti aging medicines that include herbs in them though there are some dangers associated with these medicines since herbs are quite potent and can do harm if not used in the proper manner.

So before selecting a particular anti aging medicine you need to take into account a few factors including your current medical condition and the existing medications that you are taking as too supplements and other conditions that can affect the working of your anti aging medicine. As large variety of anti aging medicine is available in the market so it is necessary for a person to choose appropriate medicine for himself.

In fact, manufacturers of anti aging medicinesgenerally do not create medicines suited to meet individual needs and actually produce their medicines en masse which can often cause problems unless you makes sure to choose your medicines with great care and only under orders from your doctor.

The last important issue about using anti aging medicines is that there is no guarantee that they will work for you and so, it would not be right to pin your hopes on such medicines because most of these medicines have not been clinically proved and they are not wholly tested either.

Founded with the goal of promoting anti aging medicine, a 501(c)3 organization, the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine or (A4M) has provided very useful service even in spite of the fact that it is an organization that has yet to be recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. A4M has done a lot to promote anti aging medicine and holds credit for its efforts.

Pure Acai Berry Supplements

If there is one supplement that you should use in order to make sure that you stay in the best of health and that you don’t fall prey to disease, premature old age, or even weight gain, it is the acai berry.  This one small fruit of the Amazon rain forest region is so impressive in its nutritional makeup that it should be in the diet of every single American.  Every single part of your body can benefit from the effects of this wonder supplement, from your brain to your heart and from your energy levels to your libido. 

Pure Acai Berry does its magic because of it huge concentration of all of the good nutrients that are so essential to human health.  In fact, there is no other food in the world that is so concentrated in so many nutrients and that should be considered so essential.  To get a full idea of just how ideal this berry is for your health read this list of what is contained within this berry’s flesh. For Instant Access Click Pure Acai Berry Free Trial!

Anthocyanins:  Anthocyanins are a form of antioxidant which is absolutely essential to keeping the body’s cells from being damaged from the daily onslaught of free radicals formed throughout the day.  Free radicals cause cell deterioration including splitting cells, damaging membranes, and causing dangerous mutations.  The only way to prevent this deterioration of your cells is to get enough antioxidants that can neutralize these free radicals.  To measure just how much antioxidant capacity we are getting each day, we use something called the ORAC measurement.  This stands for oxygen radical absorption capacity and it is considered optimal if people ingest at least 3000 ORAC each day.  Each serving of Pure Acai Berry contains more than this amount, allowing your body to properly defend against free radicals.

Fatty Acids:  The fatty acids that Pure Acai Berry contains are what can be considered the good kinds.  These are the omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, which are essential for keeping the cardiovascular system in good working order.  In fact, though low fat diets are prescribed for heart patients, these same patients are told that getting enough of these omega fatty acids is necessary for optimal health. This is because these fatty acids keep cholesterol levels low, help prevent blood clots, reduce inflammation, and regulating triglyceride levels. Click for Info on Free Acai Berry Trial Offer!

Vitamins A, C, and B: Acai Berry Pro contains a ton of different vitamins, including large quantities of A, C, and the B complex.  A and C both have antioxidant properties and help the immune system function at its best.  Vitamin B is a very important vitamin complex for regulating energy, as well as other functions.  If you find that you get tired really easily or you spend a lot of time working out or working hard, getting plenty of Vitamin B is definitely a very good idea.

Phytosterols:  Acai berry also has a unique substance known as plant sterols.  These are special compounds found only in plants that help to regular cholesterol levels and keep the heart healthy.  These are the same compounds found in oatmeal that makes it a good food to keep cholesterol lower and serve a very important purpose in the body.

There are still more nutrients to Acaiberry Pro but this has been a run down of some of the most important.  Take care of your health by adding Pure Acai Berry supplement to your diet.  Your body will thank you.

If you’ve been paying attention to any aspect of the sciences of health and diet, then you’ve probably heard about free radicals.  In case you haven’t heard about free radicals, then you definitely need to know more about them.Free radicals aren’t terrorists that have gotten loose or holdovers from the 1960’s anti-war movement.  Rather, free radicals are chemicals that have a detrimental effect on the tissues that make up the human body.  Worse yet, free radicals can damage DNA and without intact DNA it’s more difficult for the body to repair other kinds of damage.  In fact, damaged DNA can also lead to cancer!  With all of the problems that free radicals can cause, anything that can counteract them would be extremely beneficial to human health! For Instant Access Click Acai Berry Free Trial Offer!

Fortunately, free radicals can be counteracted through the use of antioxidants. Antioxidants are chemicals that absorb free radicals so that they can’t damage the tissues of the human body!  There are a lot of chemicals that work as antioxidants and they’re found in a number of different types of foods.  Of course not all foods are equally good at delivering antioxidants to the human body.  Some are much better than others and the best one that has been stumbled onto so far is the acai berry!

The acai berry not only contains a large dose of antioxidants, but it also does a great job of delivering that dose!This is especially true when those antioxidants are packed into a supplement such as Pure AcaiBerry.  Acai Berry Supplement Free Trial takes all of the components of the acai berry that make it such a great food and puts them all into a pill that makes an great nutritional supplement!  In effect, you can take a single dose of Pure Acai Berry with your breakfast and enjoy all of the benefits of having this super food in your diet throughout the course of the entire day!

The antioxidants contained in the acai berry- in combination with all of the other substances that the acai berry can provide to the human body- have a tremendous number of benefits!  In fact, this kind of food provides benefits to all of the body’s systems and processes.  It aids in nutrition, helps the circulatory system, strengthens the immune system, boosts the metabolism, increases the ability of the liver and kidneys to purify the blood, makes memory function better, and even improves fertility!

The biggest benefit that you’ll probably notice when taking AcaiBerry is an increase in your level of energy.  This is understandable when you think about the fact that if your entire body is working more efficiently you’ll have more energy for everything else in your life!  For example, if your metabolism is boosted, the food that you eat can be fueling you throughout a busy day rather than being deposited in unwanted places as fat.  Similarly, if your immune system is stronger than more of your energy can be devoted to everything other than fighting off viruses and bacteria!

Of course, it can be tough to sort out exactly what component of the acai berry provides which benefit to the human body, but one of the great things about the Free Acai Berry is that the combination of healthy compounds produce favorable results when it comes to improving your overall health!

Are you interested in having an edge in your next athletic competition?  If so, you likely have tried many different supplements, with differing effects.  Many so-called supplements are actually banned substances that can do irreparable harm to your body and can cut your athletic career short.  And other supplements are basically just vitamins and minerals that are sure to help a bit, but not do anything remarkable.However, if you have seen the ads for the pure acaiberry, you are probably curious about whether this wonder food can help you.In short, this acai berry is actually a very smart supplement for anyone involved in athletics or who just likes to exercise and has the power to help you get more out of your body.

Unlike other supplements that are either dangerous or ineffective, Pure Acai Berry has a special combination of nutrients that are extremely effective in promoting better stamina and energy.In Brazil, where these berries grow native, people have been using these pure acai berries in order to perform better in competitions and in order to have more energy for thousands of years.  You can think of this berry in a similar way to an energy drink- a great way to replenish lost energy stores, to get extra energy before an especially challenging event, and a way to stock up on nutrients that keep your body running at its ultimate level.

Acaiberry's great energy boosting ability comes from many sources, but most noticeably from its omega fatty acids and its almost complete proteins.  The omega fatty acids are the good kind of fats that both provide energy and are protective of the heart and cardiovascular system.  And, with an almost complete set of essential amino acids, this supplement is able to help you build muscle and repair muscle fibers after a hard workout.  This is essential to keeping in top form and to doing your best in any type of competition or workout.

Advanced Wellness Acai Berry has other properties that make it more beneficial than just a protein shake or an omega fatty acid supplement.  For instance, the large concentration of vitamins and minerals, including potassium and calcium are very important to keeping the body in great working order and allowing it to function at its best.  And the extremely high antioxidant concentration allows you to neutralize free radicals in your body to avoid dangerous cell changes.  Considering that many athletes need to eat many more calories than the average person and eating is one of the primary reasons for the formation of free radicals, getting enough antioxidants is especially important!

Best of all, acai berry seems to have the effect of helping the people taking it to feel much more energetic throughout the day.  This seems to be from a combination of all of the nutrients found within the berry and affects athletes and people who need extra energy for hard days at work equally.  For people who are just looking for something to help give them enough energy to feel like working out after work, this is a good supplement and can help you get into a healthy routine that makes you feel great.

If using the acai berry to enhance your workout routine sounds like a great idea, just make sure you use Advanced Wellness Research Inc Offers- the only completely pure and concentrated form of this supplement out there.  You can even enjoy a free trial offer in order to see just how much of a difference it can make in your energy levels and stamina.
