[What is Andrographis?]

Andrographis paniculata is a bitter tasting annual plant, referred to as the “King of Bitters.” It has white-purple flowers and it is native to Asia and India where it has been valued for centuries for its numerous medicinal benefits. Over the past decade, andrographis has become popular in America where it is often used alone and in combination with other herbs for a variety of health purposes.

[How does it work?]

According to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the active ingredient in andrographis is andrographolides. Due to the andrographolides, andrographis has potent anti-inflammatory and antimalarial properties. It also has antimicrobial properties, meaning it can help to fight off and prevent infections from harmful microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria and fungi. In addition, andrographis is a powerful antioxidant and it can help to prevent free radical induced damage to your cells and DNA

[Function]

Cold and Flu

Scientists have discovered that andrographis helps to boost the immune system by stimulating the body’s production of antibodies and macrophages, which are large white blood cells that scavenge harmful microorganisms. It is taken for both the prevention and treatment of the common cold, and it is often referred to as Indian echinacea. It might help lessen the severity of cold symptoms such as sleeplessness, fever, nasal drainage and sore throat.

Cancer, Viral Infections and Heart Health

Andrographis may also help to prevent and treat cancer, and preliminary studies done in test tubes found that extracts of andrographis help to treat stomach, skin, prostate and breast cancer. Due to the herb’s antiviral properties, andrographis is used to treat herpes and it is also currently being studied as a treatment for Aids and HIV as well. Andrographis also promotes heart health and can help to prevent the formation of blood clots as well as to dissolve already formed blood clots. In addition, the herb relaxes smooth muscles in the walls of blood vessels and thereby helps to reduce high blood pressure.

Additional Benefits

Andrographis is used to promote gallbladder and digestive health. It also helps to support and strengthen the liver and it is used in combination with other herbs in several Ayurvedic formulations to treat liver disorders. Finally, andrographis extracts taken orally have been found to help neutralize the poisonous effects of snake venom.

Dosage and Precautions

The therapeutic dose of andrographis is 400 mg, twice daily, for up to 10 days. Although andrographis is considered safe in humans, the NYU Langone Medical Center warns that animal studies suggest that it may impair fertility. Andrographis may cause unwanted side effects such as headaches, fatigue, allergic reactions, nausea, diarrhea, altered taste and pain in the lymph nodes. It may also interact with certain medications and as with any supplement you should consult your health care practitioner before taking the herb.

Hibiscus syriacus, commonly called rose of Sharon or shrub althea, is a vigorous, upright, vase-shaped, multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub that typically grows 8-12’ tall. It may be trained as a small tree or espalier. Showy, hollyhock-like, 5-petaled flowers (to 3” diameter) appear over a long, early-summer to fall bloom period. Each flower has a prominent and showy center staminal column. Palmately-veined, coarsely-toothed, three-lobed, medium green leaves (to 4” long) are attractive during the growing season but produce no fall color.

The leaves are edible when cooked, and can be added to quiche or greens. The leaves and flowers also can be brewed as an antioxidant tea. Medicinally, rose of Sharon’s flower buds contain mucilage, a gooey medicinal compound made of polysaccharides, found in most species of the mallow family; think of okra’s sliminess.

https://HomeRemediesTV.com/Best-Supplements Sexy Nutritional Supplements: What Really Works?

You might want to believe twice before picking up a “male enhancement” product.

Want to get savvier from the sack? There are plenty of things you can try — healthful lifestyle changes, prescription drugs, alternative therapies.

However, it is not unusual for guys to also encounter androgenetic erection problems. In actuality, these erotic flubs are not considered “uncommon” unless they happen more than once out of every five occasions.

Since only men with long-term erectile dysfunction should take ED drugs, will alternative ED therapies work for the remainder of those?

“Psychological causes account for approximately 90 percent of irregular impotence, and also any safe alternative treatment that gives a guy confidence may help,” says urologist Bruce Gilbert, MD, PhD, director of reproductive and sexual medicine in the North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System in New York.

What’s safe — and which ones actually make a difference?

“The issue with alternative therapies for any medical issue, including erectile dysfunction, is that until you have about 20 well-controlled research over several years, you really don’t understand what you are working with,” cautions Richard Harris, MD, a urologist in Gottlieb Memorial Hospital, part of the Loyola University Health System in Chicago.

Ginkgo biloba. Ginkgo is a herb which is used in Chinese medicine that’s thought to improve blood circulation. “Any ED therapy that enhances blood circulation might help,” describes Dr. Harris. “An erection is merely blood in and blood out.” On the other hand, the proof that ginkgo can enhance blood circulation in ED is restricted, and most experts say the jury remains out. In addition, ginkgo can increase the risk for bleeding problems if combined with certain drugs, such as warfarin (Coumadin).

Bottom line: It may help, but speak with your doctor before trying it.

L-arginine. L-arginine is an important amino acid the body needs to build proteins. Because L-arginine was proven to improve blood circulation, some alternative practitioners have recommended the supplements be used to treat ED. The Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database, that is a reliable authority on alternative drugs, says L-arginine is potentially effective for treating erectile dysfunction. However, Harris warns that “but this nutritional supplement could improve blood circulation, side effects can be dangerous” L-arginine can result in an allergic reaction or worsen asthma in some individuals; it can also decrease blood pressure.

Bottom line: Just like ginkgo biloba, you should speak with your health care provider before trying this alternative therapy.

Acupuncture. A recent review of research on acupuncture for erectile dysfunction was released in the British Journal of Urology International. After reviewing four studies, the authors reasoned there wasn’t sufficient evidence to state that acupuncture worked. However, some specialists think it is well worth trying. “Acupuncture can work,” says Gilbert. “It probably works best to treat the emotional component of ED. There is very little downside to trying it .”

Bottom line: Give it a shot.

Saw palmetto. Saw palmetto comes from the fruit of a small palm tree. It has been used to treat symptoms in men with an enlarged prostate gland, such as difficulty urinating, and it has been urged to treat ED caused by an enlarged prostate. But several recent clinical trials did not demonstrate that saw palmetto works any better on an enlarged prostate compared to a placebo does. “There is no proof that saw palmetto ought to be used to treat erectile dysfunction,” says Dr. Gilbert. Like ginkgo biloba, saw palmetto may interact with some prescription drugs.

Bottom line: You may not see the results you were hoping for.

DHEA. DHEA, or dehydroepiandrosterone, is a natural hormone which the body uses to create the male hormone testosterone. DHEA and testosterone decrease with age, just as ED increases with age, so it seems that taking DHEA may protect against ED. However, Harris claims that “it is unlikely that taking DHEA will increase your testosterone enough to make much difference…
