That may explain the Spanish name for this herb, <i>manzanilla</i>, which means “little apple,” as well as the medieval habit of strewing chamomile stems and flowers across the floors to freshen the air indoors. Two very closely related species of chamomile have earned a time-honored place in herbal medicine. German chamomile <i>(Matricaria recutita)</i> has effects similar to those of Roman or English chamomile <i>(Chamaemelum nobile)</i> but a less pronounced aroma. Both varieties of this herb have been prized for many centuries—especially brewed as a pleasant-tasting tea—as a remedy for nervous tension, muscle cramps, skin conditions, and digestive upsets in babies, children, and adults. Chamomile is perhaps the most commonly used European herb in herbal medicine today.</div> <h2 class="section" id="c06-s01"> <b>Therapeutic Uses</b></h2> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Digestive aid</i></div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Colic</i></div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Mouth ulcers</i></div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Eczema</i></div> A treasured herbal medicine, chamomile has soothed digestive systems and calmed people of all ages for centuries. But not until the 1970s were scientists able to document and verify chamomile’s healing and protective effects on the gastrointestinal mucosa (lining). Germany’s health authorities recognize the effectiveness of chamomile for relieving digestive spasms and inflammation when taken internally. Chamomile eases bloating and indigestion when taken after meals and can soothe occasional heartburn. Many herbalists consider chamomile the premier children’s herb for easing upset tummies and calming frayed nerves after an exhausting day. Remember Peter Rabbit? His mother gives him a dose of chamomile tea (“One tablespoonful to be taken at bed-time.”) after his escapade sampling all the vegetables in Mr. McGregor’s garden leaves him with a tummy that needs soothing. A study of colicky babies found that chamomile, in combination with other herbs, was highly effective in reducing crying times when the colicky babies were compared with those in the control group. <br /> <div class="indent"> Chamomile is also popular for alleviating inflammation of the mouth and skin. In a study of patients with chronic mouth ulcers, a remarkable 82 percent rated chamomile extract as excellent for relieving pain. Compounds in chamomile have been shown to enhance skin healing and to help prevent infection.</div> <div class="indent"> Applied topically, a proprietary chamomile cream was shown to be as effective as low-dose, over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream for relieving eczema. Chamomile is also found in creams designed to soothe and heal diaper rash, skin irritations, and minor wounds. Germany’s health commission also recognizes the effectiveness of using chamomile externally for inflammation of the skin and mucous membranes, including those of the mouth and gums.</div> <h2 class="section" id="c06-s02"> <b>How to Use</b></h2> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Tea:</i> Pour 1 cup boiling water over 1 teaspoon of herb. Steep for 5 to 7 minutes. The longer it steeps, the more powerful its calming effects.</div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Capsules:</i> 500 to 1,000 mg dried chamomile flowers taken 2 to 3 times per day.</div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Tincture:</i> 3 to 5 ml taken 2 to 3 times per day.</div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Topical:</i> Creams are available.

Hops for Digestion, Nervousness, Insomnia and Menopause

They are probably best known by brewers—and beer drinkers—for giving aroma and flavor to beer. Interestingly enough, hops were originally added to beer for their natural preservative properties. Only later did they come to be valued for the bitter, but agreeable, taste they impart to the drink. The Romans ate the young shoots of the hops plant as if it were asparagus, a practice that continued in rural parts of the British Isles well into the 20th century. Roman physician Pliny the Elder named hops <i>Lupus salictarius</i>, which means “willow wolf” and refers to the vine’s habit of twining around other plants and strangling them, like a wolf does to sheep. The plant’s species name, <i>lupulus</i>, is Latin for “small wolf,” a similar reference. Hops were used medicinally in Europe and by Native Americans in North America. Today, their greatest value in herbal medicine is as a calming, natural sedative.</div> <h2 class="section" id="c19-s01"> <b>Therapeutic Uses</b></h2> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Digestion</i></div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Nervousness</i></div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Insomnia</i></div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Menopause</i></div> <div class="nonindent"> <br /></div> <div class="extract"> Though most famous as an ingredient vital to brewing beer, hops have been used to improve appetite and digestion, to relieve toothache and nerve pain, and to treat insomnia around the world. It is said that Abraham Lincoln relied upon hops pillows to relax and to improve his sleep.</div> <div class="extract"> <br /></div> <div class="indent"> Today, Germany’s health authorities continue to approve the use of hops for “discomfort due to restlessness or anxiety and sleep disturbances.” Most of the scientific research evaluating the effectiveness of hops for anxiety and sleep has been conducted with a combination of hops and valerian, another popular sedative herb. Three controlled studies have shown that this combination is more effective than placebo and similar in effectiveness to benzodiazepines (sleep medications) for shortening the time it takes to fall asleep and for improving sleep quality. None of the studies reported excessive morning sleepiness or rebound insomnia when the participants stopped taking the herbs.</div> <div class="indent"> <br /></div> <div class="indent"> One area that is garnering attention is the potential use of hops for the relief of menopausal symptoms. Researchers have identified at least one key compound in hops, 8-prenylnaringenin, that is linked to significant hormonal activity. A 6-week study in menopausal women found that a standardized hops extract reduced hot flashes, night sweats, and insomnia. Another study found that a topically applied gel containing hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and hops extract significantly improved vaginal dryness in postmenopausal women. Hops might prove to be an attractive alternative to conventional hormone therapy, but more research is needed to determine long-term safety.</div> <h2 class="section" id="c19-s02"> <b>How to Use</b></h2> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Tea:</i> Steep 1 teaspoon hops strobiles (female flowers) in 1 cup water for 5 to 7 minutes. Add honey to taste. Drink 30 minutes before bed.</div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Capsules:</i> 500 mg, 1 to 3 times daily; often taken in combination with valerian root.</div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Tincture:</i> 2 ml tincture, 1 to 3 times daily.</div> <h2 class="section" id="c19-s03"> <b>Precautions</b></h2> <div class="nonindent"> Given the potential for increased hormonal activity stimulated by hops, women who have had breast cancer or who are at risk for it should avoid hops until more is known. Safety in pregnancy is not known. Hops may have sedative effects, so driving or operating heavy machinery should not be attempted while using hops.<br /> <br /> <i>Advertising - Read Also :</i><br /> <i>- <a href="http://sekertarisku.com/menolak-tawaran-kerja-kapan-dilakukan/" rel="nofollow">Menolak Tawaran Kerja, Kapan Dilakukan?</a></i><br /> <i>- <a href="http://www.dongenganakdunia.com/2016/08/kisah-cerita-sang-amero-kopfhi-dongeng-ghana.html" rel="nofollow">Kisah Cerita Sang Amero Kopfhi - Dongeng Ghana</a></i></div>

Goldenseal for Digestive aid, Diarrhea and Antimicrobial

The <i>golden</i> part of its common name comes from the bright yellow interior of the plant’s fleshy rhizomes (underground stems). <i>Seal</i> is a reference to small, circular marks on the rhizome’s twisted, wrinkled surface that were thought to resemble the decorative seals once used to stamp warm wax onto envelope flaps.</div> <div class="indent"> Native American tribes used goldenseal to produce a beautiful golden yellow dye. They also used the herb medicinally and introduced European settlers to its healing properties in the 1700s. A century later, goldenseal had gained such popularity that it was severely overharvested, an assault that continued into the 20th century, until wild stocks were legally protected. Now cultivated, but still scarce in the wild, goldenseal is a top-selling herbal supplement marketed to aid digestion, to treat infection, and to boost the immune system.</div> <h2 class="section" id="c17-s01"> <b>Therapeutic Uses</b></h2> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Digestive aid</i></div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Diarrhea</i></div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Antimicrobial</i></div> <div class="extract"> Woodland goldenseal is one of the best-known indigenous North American plants. It was widely used by eastern tribes. Goldenseal was an official drug in the United States almost continuously from 1830 to 1955. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a number of pharmaceutical companies, including Parke-Davis, Eli Lilly, and Squibb, manufactured and sold goldenseal products. Today, goldenseal remains a popular herbal remedy in the United States, particularly for the treatment of gastrointestinal complaints.</div> <div class="indent"> Looking to the past can often prove useful when researching medicinal plants. As a clear demonstration of that, scientists at the University of Chicago recently found, in test-tube studies, that goldenseal extracts are highly active against multiple strains of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i>, a bacterium that is responsible for the majority of peptic ulcers and gastric cancers. While there are many compounds that contribute to the overall medicinal effects of goldenseal, berberine, a yellow alkaloid, is the primary infection fighter. Berberine destroys many microorganisms that cause diarrhea, including <i>Giardia lamblia</i> and <i>Entamoeba histolytica</i>. These organisms cause chronic diarrhea and can lead to significant dehydration and weight loss. Goldenseal and other plants containing berberine could play an important public health role, given that approximately 20 percent of the world’s population is chronically infected with <i>Giardia</i> and some 50 million people are infected with the amoeba <i>E. histolytica</i>.</div> <div class="indent"> Goldenseal can be found in salves and ointments designed to help heal skin infections. Research has shown that berberine is effective for the treatment of psoriasis and may also be useful for minor fungal infections of the skin. While the taste of goldenseal is quite bitter, it can be very effective as a mouthwash and can also be used for treating canker sores and mouth ulcers.</div> <h2 class="section" id="c17-s02"> <b>How to Use</b></h2> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Tea:</i> Due to its bitterness, goldenseal is quite unpalatable as a tea.</div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Capsule:</i> Generally, 1 to 3 g per day.</div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Tincture:</i> Take 2 to 4 ml, 2 to 3 times per day.</div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Topical:</i> Salves and ointments are readily available. Use as directed.</div> <h2 class="section" id="c17-s03"> <b>Precautions</b></h2> <div class="nonindent"> Goldenseal may stimulate uterine contractions and is therefore generally not recommended for use during pregnancy. Goldenseal can also interact with enzymes in the body that metabolize certain prescription medications. People taking other medications should check with their health-care professionals or pharmacists before taking goldenseal.<br /> <br /> <i>Advertising - Read Also :</i><br /> <i>- <a href="http://www.coolrezo.com/mantra-cinta-mengenai-keluarga/" rel="nofollow">Mantra Cinta Mengenai Sebuah Keluarga di Albania</a></i><br /> <i>- <a href="http://www.wartaperang.com/2016/07/isis-ancam-serangan-lebih-syiah-afganistan-bantu-assad.html" rel="nofollow">ISIS Ancam Serangan Lebih Pada Syiah Afganistan Bila Terus Membantu Assad</a></i></div>
