Synergy – The Remedy In The Herbal Supplement

admin — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 15:47:10 +0000

Synergy refers to the idea that the sum of the parts adds up to more (or less, in some cases) than the whole. This idea is an important one for herbalism where it is essential to combine different herbs thoughtfully and carefully in order to maximize the benefit a patient will receive. When you combine different herbs, the result can be a great deal more powerful (and sometimes different) than any of the herbs taken individually or separately. A well constructed formula will therefore be harmonized so that your body will not respond negatively to individual herbs but instead be able to fully accept the desired actions.

Furthermore, synergy is enhanced when absorption and bioavailability of an herb is increased in a body. It should also be noted that while herbs can work very effectively in combination due to their synergistic effects, alone they can be far less effective and sometimes produce opposite actions. For example, Ginger has an anti-ulcerogenic action which is considered to be the work of a zingerberene compound within it. This compound was isolated and tested to measure its results. It was found that the whole ginger extract was sixty six times more effective than the zingerberene compound.

The synergy of herbal remedies can actually be quantified because less of a herb is required to achieve the same effect when it is enhanced by the action of other appropriate herbs. For example, when 60 mg of Valerian is combined with 40 mg of Hops the results are the same as if the patient had been given 400 mg of Valeriana on its own. This can be an important example as Valerian can cause stomache pain to many people in large doses, therefore the lower the dose of Valerian with the same result would be optimum in herbology.

Negative synergy can apply to herbal combinations. For example, the combination of Echinacea and Andrographis enhances the immune system and is very beneficial in acute infections, however, Echinacea and Astrogalis / Huang Qi in combination can only be used in chronic conditions requiring immune stimulation and will exacerbate an acute condition. This is why where herbal preparations are concerned it is wise to consult with an experienced and qualified herbalist rather than self prescribing.

Each herb enhances the ability or action of the other ones. If you combine Echinacea and angustifolia root you will achieve an immune enhancing result greater than taking Echinacea on its own. If you take Echinacea Purporea on its own you will receive an immune enhancing result. However, if you add the two types of Echinacea together you will obtain at least three times that effect, not twice the effect. Putting them together gives a greater benefit than the two of them separately would give. This is the essence of synergy.

Another example of how the action of herbs alters in combination is that of codonopsis (Dang Shen) and Astragalus (Huan Qi). Both of these herbs behave similarly to Ginseng and will raise your energy and tonify your Qi. However, when they are combined their main action is to increase immunity and increasing energy or tonifying Qi is secondary.

Synergistic results are also obtained when you give someone senna in conjunction with ginger. Senna will not only create a strong laxative effect, it can also cause griping stomach pains. To avoid this negative side effect of the herb, you can add ginger to the mix. By doing this, you will still obtain the laxative benefits but you will no longer have the cramping.

Synergy also lowers the cost of herbal medicine because ‘assisting herbs’ reduce the amount of expensive herbs required to achieve the same result. For example, Ginseng is an expensive herb but if you add ‘assisting herbs’ to create a much longer lasting formula that will also increase energy and tonify Qi you will be able to get excellent results, for the same or even lower cost.

Phytomedicine or herbalism relies heavily on synergy to create natural medicines that promote healing in the best possible way for the patient. The synergistic benefits of herbal combinations can be quantified and used but cannot be fully explained. That said, there is an enormous amount of evidence that synergy enhances the performance of herbs in the right combinations and is an important aspect of natural healing.

Yet the market is still full of single herb products. I believe this is due to the fact that companies rely on selling you herbs that you have heard of, not on making a formula that is best suited for the ailment or condition. I continuously write on this subject, and the reason I learned Eastern and Western Herbology. I use the best herbs for the job in a carefully developed, and most importantly synergenic formula. There are times that Echinacea is not the right herb for the job, there is a suitable lower cost substitute for Goldenseal in many cases, etc. Feel free to learn more at Dimmakherbs.com

Addressing Claims Regarding Acai Juice

admin — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 00:41:46 +0000

One of the latest Superfruits receiving publicity is Açaí juice. Pronounced “asa’i,” Açaí is a palm tree flourishes in the lush rainforests that are fed by the mighty Amazon River. The combination of nutrient rich soil and tropical climate guarantee nearly perfect conditions for these plants to thrive. For centuries, the legendary berry and its juice have been revered by the indigenous people of Brazil’s Northern Amazon region as an antidote for numerous ailments, but how does it hold up against modern science?

In numerous tests, the long-claimed benefits of Açaí juice have begun to be validated. Studies show that, by itself, the berry provides a remarkable source of protein, essential fats, vitamins and minerals. Because of its unparalleled antioxidant levels and superior nutrient content, Açaí is now widely regarded in the Western world as one of the world’s top superfoods.

Contributing to the deep red, blue and purple of the plant’s appearance are anthocyanins, a particularly valuable class of polyphenols of which the Açaí contains over a dozen. Analyses have shown that Açaí is one of the richest sources of anthocyanins in the world, substances known to be powerful free radical scavengers.

Açaí juice contain up to 33 times the antioxidant content as red wine grapes. These amazing berries have traditionally been used to increase energy, stamina, vitality, and to promote overall healthy living. Açaí juice is rich in Vitamins B1, B2, B3, E & C, Calcium, Potassium, and Phosphorus as well as Essential Fatty Acids omega-3, omega-6, & omega-9.

A recent study using modern procedures and a standardized freeze-dried Açaí fruit pulp and skin powder found nutrient analysis results from 100 g (3.5 ounces) of powder to equal 533.9 calories, 52.2 g carbohydrates, 8.1 g protein and 32.5 g total fat. The carbohydrate portion includes 44.2 g of fiber. Since nearly one-third of its mass as dietary fiber, Açaí is an exceptional source of this valuable macronutrient. In fact, a 100 gram serving of the powder would provide all the recommended fiber needed by an adults (20-30 g per day).

Açaí is particularly rich in fatty acids and even feels oily to the touch. It contains high levels of the monounsaturated fatty acid oleic acid (56.2% of total fats). It is also rich in palmitic acid (24.1% of total fats, a saturated fat) and the polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid linoleic acid (12.5% of total fats). It is also rich in β-sitosterol (beta-sitosterol), a phytosterol that competes with dietary cholesterol for absorption and so may reduce blood cholesterol levels.

It should also be noted that another recent study has found the vitamin C content of Açaí juice to be negligible.

Because of the large amount of waste that accumulates during the harvesting of the hearts of palm, sawdust from the left-over trunks of the Açaí palms have been analyzed for possible uses including the generation of energy. The inner layer of the trunk is mineral rich, and is significantly higher in all the minerals that were tested including sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron compared to the outer layer of the tree. This inner layer could potentially be used as a source for these minerals. Ash content (often used as an alkaline source for saponification or in plant fertilizers) was also higher in the inner section of the tree. Levels of lignins, cellulose, holocellulose and gross heat production were slightly higher in the outer trunk layers, and cellulose levels were fairly high overall.

Açaí juice was even recently featured on the Oprah show as being the top superfood for age-defying beauty.

It looks like Açaí juice might just be considered nature’s #1 perfect food.

HGH Supplements Vs HGH Injections

admin — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 13:18:06 +0000

Human growth hormone is largely known as the best way of reversing and delaying the aging process. Though there is no doubt about the benefits of growth hormone, you need to know which is the best form of HGH-Injections or Supplements.

Why most people prefer injections or shots to supplements which are also called releasers is because they produce faster results. However, what remains a big cause of concern is that the quantity administered should be the correct amount what your body needs. An overdose can result in high blood pressure and laziness. In extreme cases it can also cause cancer.

Growth hormone shots can be quite expensive as well with you shelling more than $15000 a year. Moreover, you need a prescription for these injections and most people therefore prefer to go for natural supplements or releasers which are available over the counter.

These relasers are a far more cost effective and affordable alternative to expensive shots. Furthermore, they are completely safe as well. The mainly consist of amino acids and vitamins and help stimulate the pituitary gland enhance its own production of growth hormone. Since no synthetc substance is injected into your body, there are no likely side effects. These releasers are not a replacement therapy but a natural way to enhance your own hormone production.

Another disadvantage of taking shots is that it may signal your brain to stop production of the growth hormone altogether due to excess of hormone in your body. This is going to harm you when you stop taking shots and you will experience faster aging. This is not the case with relasers.

Haven’t Heard of the Acai Berry Yet?

admin — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 03:07:30 +0000

You’ve probably been eating blueberries since you were a little kid. Maybe you’ve had huckleberries too, which are a little harder to find since they’re hand-picked in the wild. (They’re not easily cultivated.) But are those the only small, dark berries?

The answer is no! There’s an even more coveted berry called the acai (ah-sigh-ee) and it comes only from the rainforest. So it’s no surprise that is not that well-known here in the USA. But… it is starting to gain popularity, so keep your eyes out!

But what’s so great about this little berry?

Well, did you know that 70% of the plants found to fight against cancer cells are found in the rainforest? Yep, there’s all kinds of healthy food in there. Some people refer to the acai as one of the planet’s “best kept health secrets.” (I’ve also heard that native Brazilians call it the “Viagra of the Amazon.)

Put simply, the acai berry is full of potent antioxidants and other substances to promote good health and well-being. (Ever heard of having a glass of red wine with dinner? It’s for the antioxidants.)

Here are just some of the things the acai berry can do:

–Boost energy levels almost instantly
–Increase mental clarity
–Slow the aging process

There are many more health benefits, but these are a few that I have noticed myself.

With the aging baby boomer population, it’s no wonder why the wellness industry is booming too. If you search Google for “acai” you’ll find plenty of results.

Just watch out for any acai products that make ridiculous weight loss claims. The acai berry is great, but it’s not a miracle cure!

Why Aren’t You Using Omega3 Acid Supplements?

admin — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 08:53:47 +0000

Studies from all over the world are reporting that over 90% of people are deficient in omega3 acid. This leads to a host of health conditions forming. For example, people who are deficient in omega3 fatty acids are more likely to suffer from high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, depression, anxiety, and heart disease.

The good news is that these can easily be prevented by using high-quality omega3 acid supplements. Researchers and doctors from all over the world recommend that you keep your fatty fish intake from food to fewer than three meals a week.

This is because fatty fish today are swimming in polluted and contaminated waters. Eating too much of them can be dangerous to your health and well-being. You might wonder then, if the fish are contaminated, won’t the omega3 acid supplements be too?

The answer is no if you find a high-quality company that know how to produce the best and purest products. The first thing you want to look for is that they use a molecular distillation process to ensure pharmaceutical grade purity and safety in their omega3 acid supplements.

I also like to look for clinical trials and independent reviews done by government approved laboratories to prove the effectiveness, safety and quality of the product that I am about to buy.

For example, a recent clinical trial showed that when you blend tuna and hoki oil into the same omega3 acid supplement it enhances the health benefits by up to 2 1/2 times without adding any extra cost to the consumer.

By doing your research and educating yourself, you can begin to find these scientific gems that prove which products are worth buying. This is how I found the fish oil products that I use daily now.

It is unfortunate that there are so many companies out there producing low-quality products. Many consumers are unaware of the fact that they are buying overpriced products.
