 Lastly, interestingly enough, lavender binds to the same cell receptors in the brain as the tranquilizer Valium, and some experts believe that the herb has similar effects. You can use lavender either as aromatherapy or a tea. To make the aromatic tea, steep one teaspoon of powdered lavender in a cup of boiled water for 10 minutes, strain out the leaves and then serve.
Anxiety can make life seem unbearable, as the 19 million American adults who suffer from some form of anxiety know all too well. However, as difficult as anxiety is, it is also manageable. |

| Importations of the herb were seized by customs at the demands of the FDA, and the public relations battle against Ephedra was on.

 As an occasional medicinal herb, the coca leaf actually does have health-enhancing characteristics, but it seems likely that Coca-Cola was a lot more interested in its profit characteristics than its health characteristics.
As an example of just how important profits are to Coca-Cola, take a look at the company's effort to wipe out competing beverages... like water!
Coca-Cola Declares War on Water
Your body needs water, and lots of it! But if you're drinking water, according to the way Coca-Cola once thought, you're not drinking a Coke, and that's bad for business. The solution? |

| In my book Natural Cures I talk about the outrageous FDA ban of the herb ma-huang, a natural source of Ephedra. I have repeatedly stated that the FDA abuses its power. I believe the FDA is not protecting consumers, but rather used by the drug industry to protect the profits of the powerful pharmaceutical cartel. The drug companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars trying to persuade lawmakers to ban safe and effective all-natural remedies. |
| Because of this outrageous FDA ban of the perfecdy safe and very effective herb ma-huang, a Utah company sued the FDA. After months in the courts the judge strikes down the ban on Ephedra! The FDA loses! The judge's ruling prevents the FDA from stopping the sale of Ephedra. The judge agreed that Ephedra was WRONGLY being regulated by the FDA as a drug and not a food! This is a great win for all of us. The FDA has finally been put in its place. |

| And herb Kutchins of California State University, Sacramento, and Stuart A. Kirk of the University of California, Los Angeles, authors of Making Us Crazy: The Psychiatric Bible and the Creation of Mental Disorders, tell us that "the developers of DSM assume that if a group of psychiatrists agree on a list of atypical [new] behaviors, the behaviors constitute a valid mental disorder. Using this approach, creating mental disorders can become a parlor game in which clusters of all kinds of behaviors (i.e. syndromes) can be added to the manual. |

 The feverfew preparation used in this study did not exert any significant preventative effect on the frequency of migraine attacks, although patients seemed to have a tendency to use fewer analgesic drugs while they were using feverfew.80
This result was not in accordance with the results from the above studies and the authors suggest that this might be because the previous studies were conducted in patients who had already found feverfew to be beneficial (which is not actually the case - see above). |
| Many criticisms have been levelled at the trials conducted from 1979 to 1995 including:
• few trials conducted on severe depression;
• relapses occurring within 1 year after cessation of the studies were not registered;
• dose-response studies were not performed with patients;
• in trials comparing standard antidepressant medications, the doses were too low and the number of patients too small;
• drug interactions were not specifically tested;
• special groups of patients (e.g. geriatric patients, those with renal and hepatic insufficiencies) were not tested. |
| Side effects are possible if more than 0.5 g of berberine is ingested.
Berberis is on the UK General Sale List.
Berberis does not have GRAS status. However, it is freely available as a 'dietary supplement' in the USA under DSHEA legislation (1994 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act).
Berberis is not included in Part 4 of Schedule 4 of the Therapeutic Goods Act Regulations of Australia.
Development of a monograph on Hydrastis is pending and may appear in the United States Pharmacopoeia - National Formulary subsequent to June 1999. |
| Menopause
Standardized black cohosh extract was used with success in the 1950s and 1960s for the treatment of menopausal symptoms, menstrual disturbances in young women (secondary but not primary amenor-rhoea) and symptoms arising from ovarian dysfunction or insufficiency. The Kupperman Index is an indicator of climacteric symptoms, originally defined in 1953. |

 You can try taking a warm bath or at least a footbath before going to bed, having a cup of soothing herb tea, and keeping your bedroom cool and well ventilated. If these don't work, nutrients can help, and unlike most drugs, they do not result in exacerbation of daytime psychiatric problems, like depression. The nutrient tryptophan at dinner and bedtime is effective in starting sleep and, in some cases, keeping a person asleep. Niacin and niacinamide prolong the tryptophan effect. Melatonin and GABA also can contribute to quality sleep. |

| The menstrual cycle returned to normal in all patients. Prolactin levels were significantly reduced and in some patients prolactin levels even returned to the normal range.27
Observation of 551 patients by 153 gynaecologists over several menstrual cycles found the efficacy of chaste tree treatment to be good in 68.8% of cases. Three hundred and sixty-nine patients had symptoms of corpus luteal insufficiency or cyclic disorders; 210 had PMS. A majority of patients (81.1%) were relieved of complaints or stated that their condition had improved. |

 Let steep for 1-1/2 hours. Then strain and to each cup add 1 tsp. lemon juice and 1/2 tsp. pure maple syrup or blackstrap molasses to sweeten. Drink slowly. Exactly 10 minutes later, take orally 1 tbsp. of pure virgin olive oil.
Repeat this regimen 3 times each day. The tea soothes irritated tissues and helps to break up or partially dissolve the stones, while the oil acts as a lubricant to remove them from the body more easily. |

 The antidiabetic ability of this herb may be decreased by concomitant use of acetazolamide, oral contraceptives, corticosteroids, dextrothyroxine, epinephrine, ethanol, glucagon, guanethidine, and marijuana. The antidiabetic effects may also be decreased when used in conjunction with phenothiazines, rifampin, thiazide diuretics, and thyroid hormones.
The antidiabetic action of gymnema may be enhanced when it is used with allopurinol, anabolic steroids, chloramphenicol, clofibrate, fenfluramine, guanethidine, MAOI, phenylbutazone, probenecid and phenyramidol. |

 Benefits of eucalyptus for specific health conditions include the following:
• Allergies, common cold, cough, and sinsusitis. Eucalyptol, found in many over-the-counter remedies, loosens phlegm in the chest and helps to open clogged nasal passages. It also kills several types of bacteria and viruses, including Bacillus subtilis and several strains of Streptococcus.
• Muscle soreness, minor cuts, and insect bites. Applied as an ointment, eucalyptus has been shown to increase the flow of blood to muscle tissue, which eases muscle soreness. |

 You'll end up with a fine tincture having a 1:5 (plus the extra menstruum, in this case, +300 ml) tincture strength. Or if while pouring the latter portions of menstruum into the cone, you see that the flow isn't going well, withhold 300 ml of the menstruum; now when you dump everything into the maceration mode, you will have a 1:5 strength tincture and 300 ml of high-proof cocktail to drown your tears in.
If any or all of my explanations, illustrations, and candid analogies remain unclear to you, I'm not too surprised. Percolation is difficult to put in words; but I tried. |

| All species found were well known to the healers and herb vendors involved in the study, even if they themselves did not use or sell the species in question. Many species were often easily recognized by their vernacular names by other members of the population. This indicates that these remedies have been in use for a long time by many people. The use of some species, most prominently "San Pedro" (Echinopsis pachanoi), "Maichil" (Thevetiaperuviana) and "Ishpingo" (various species of Nectandra), can be traced back to the Moche culture (DC 100-800). |
