Cardiac herbs reduce oxygen consumption by the heart muscle (myocardium) by having a beta-blocker-like effect, lowering the heart rate particularly during exercise and reducing systolic blood pressure, thus decreasing the demand for oxygen.
HEART. OVER-STRAINED. See: ATHLETES HEART.
HEART BLOCK. A disorder that occurs in the transmission of impulses between the atria (upper chambers) and ventricles (lower chambers) of the heart. | | Should be avoided by those undergoing a course of herbal treatment.
Excess caffeine, as in coffee, tea, cola and chocolate, has been shown to be a factor in the development of fibrocystic breast disease in women, and breast cancer increased. (Dr John P. Minion, in "Surgery")
Women who drank between 8 to 25 cups of coffee a day during pregnancy had children with an absence of fingers or parts of digits of hands and feet. A number of authorities claim a link between coffee and birth defects. Cases of premenstrual tension (PMT) have improved on giving up coffee. |

If you're diagnosed with vaginitis, don't overlook your herbal treatment options. Some herbs actually enhance the potency of antibiotics. Others may provide sufficient relief from symptoms, making pharmaceutical treatment unnecessary. echinacea (echinacea, various species). In a German study, women with yeast infection were instructed to use a standard pharmaceutical antifungal medication (econazole nitrate). Some of the women were also given echinacea. Of those treated with the antifungal alone, 61 percent had at least one recurrence of yeast infection. | | In fact, garlic is an ideal herbal treatment for flu-related pneumonia because the pneumonia can be viral or bacterial or both.
If I'd ever end up in a hospital—whether for pneumonia or some other illness—I'd take plenty of echinacea and garlic for the duration of my stay if the staff permitted me to do so. Yes, hospitals can work wonders, but they're also convenient harbors for a host of supergerms.
Other herbal immune-boosters include astragalus, burdock, ginseng, and goldenseal. | | For years, I've been touting evening primrose oil as the best herbal treatment for PMS symptoms. Native Americans consumed evening primrose seeds as a food. Supposedly, the women also used the seeds to treat gynecological complaints such as PMS.
As it turns out, evening primrose oil is a top-notch source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which has been shown in studies to make women with PMS less sensitive to their premenstrual hormonal fluctuations. In Great Britain, evening primrose oil has been approved as a treatment for PMS. Oddly, the herb wasn't even considered by Germany's Commission E. | | In China, the seeds of the sour jujube are probably the most commonly used herbal treatment for insomnia and nightmares. Studies have demonstrated that the herb has sedative effects in both animals and humans. It contains quite an array of sedative compounds, including spinosin, swertisin, and zivulgarin.
Sour jujube isn't that widely available in the United States. I have the plant in my Garden of Youth, and I know of a few other places where it's grown. If you want to try it, you may be able to find it in a Chinese herb shop. | | John's wort is an effective herbal treatment for depression. But you may not be aware that evening primrose contains a mood-elevating compound called tryptophan. A similar compound, phenylalanine, is found in sunflower.
Of course, just looking at the lovely blooms of all three plants can make me feel better. That they contain mood-boosting substances is a bonus.
Benign Prostate Enlargement: Stop the Swelling without Surgery
As far as prostate problems go, I'm pleased to report that herbs have kept mine in check—much to my doctors' surprise. |

See book keywords and concepts |  In one study, forty-eight women diagnosed with infertility (ages 23 to 39) took vitex once daily for 3 months.21 Forty-five women completed the study, with successful treatment reported in thirty-nine women. Seven women became pregnant during the study, while in twenty-five of the women, progesterone levels normalized—which may increase the chances for pregnancy. Many doctors of natural medicine recommend taking 40 drops of a liquid extract of vitex each morning with some liquid. Encapsulated powdered vitex provides a similar amount of the product, with one capsule taken in the morning. |
