[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.

16 Ways to Avoid Getting Sick This Winter.

1. TAKE YOUR FIGHT-AMINS
Your vitamin D levels may run on E in winter. That matters: D can spur your body to fight off colds.
In fact, taking 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 a week may cut your risk of upper respiratory infection in half, say Canadian researchers.
2. STOP TOUCHING YOURSELF
Unless sterile surgical gloves are part of your winter wardrobe, keep your mitts off your mug.
People who occasionally touch their eyes and nose are 41 percent more likely to develop frequent upper respiratory infections than hands-off folks, a 2013 study in the Journal of Occupational Health found.
3. SAY HELLO TO YOGURT
Cold and flu viruses might have an Achilles’ heel: Greek yogurt. In a study published in Clinical Nutrition, people who consumed a specific strain of probiotics daily reduced their risk of catching one of these bugs by 27 percent.
Aim to eat at least one serving a day of a Greek yogurt with live cultures, suggests Spencer Payne, M.D., an associate professor of rhinology at the University of Virginia School of Medicine.
4. REFILL YOUR MEDITATION
We’d like you to contemplate perfect health. Researchers from the University of Wisconsin at Madison found that people who meditated took 76 percent fewer sick days than those who were not so zen.
Meditating trains you to stay focused and calm, which helps alleviate stress that can leave you vulnerable to infection. To get started, try the brief mindfulness sessions available for free at marc.ucla.edu.
5. NAIL YOUR TEA SHOT
Skip the black coffee and brew some green tea.
Its magic ingredient, a catechin called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), can damage influenza virus particles and stop them from entering your system, a German study reveals.
The scientists believe this kick-ass catechin may also interfere with pneumonia-causing bacteria.
6. ORDER A SHOT
“The number one thing you can do to prevent the flu is get vaccinated,” says Bill Schaffner, M.D., a professor of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University.
7. BOIL OVER
Viruses that cause foodborne illnesses tend to loiter on produce. In fact, fruits and vegetables are some of the Foods Most Likley to Make You Sick.
So to further slash your chance of sickness, try blanching your greens—kale, spinach, and chard, for example—in boiling water for two to three minutes.
Then dunk them into ice water to stop the cooking. (Blanching can give your greens a different kind of flavor.) Heating to 212°F greatly reduces norovirus in spinach, a study in the Journal of Food Protection reports.
8. SWEAT OUT A COLD.
Case in point: Moderate exercise can slash your risk of catching a cold by 27 percent, Korean researchers report.
Working out switches on your immune response, possibly by sending a cascade of “natural killer cells” to hunt the rhinovirus.
Already ill? Keep exercising, Dr. Schaffner advises. “Exercise stimulates the production of epinephrine, which constricts blood vessels in and around your mucous membranes and can relieve nasal discomfort.”
9. TEACH YOURSELF TO FISH
Note that we said “moderate” exercise in #12: Strenuous workouts can leave you vulnerable to infection.
But if you want to keep up the intensity, at least fill your plate with fish. A 2012 study in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity found that increasing your omega-3intake can spur postexercise production of infection-fighting cells, which can help protect against certain infections.
10. STEEP GINGERLY
Swallow some ginger for what ails you. Researchers in Taiwan have discovered that fresh ginger can inhibit respiratory syncytial virus from attaching to cells and may even reduce its ability to replicate.
So what in the world is respiratory syncytial virus? Just a bug that in severe cases can lead to bronchiolitis or pneumonia. Grate some ginger in hot water for a spicy tea, or add it to your next stir-fry with vegetables and garlic.
11. WASH YOUR HANDS OF IT
That means 20 seconds at the sink and a thorough drying: Wet hands are more likely to spread germs than dry ones, notes the CDC.
12. CARRY A LOADED GUM
Past research shows that xylitol, a sweetener in some chewing gums, can prevent Streptococcus pneumoniae from establishing a stronghold in your body.
And now a review from Turkey concludes that xylitol can reduce your risk of ear and sinus infections. Try Ice Breakers Ice Cubes, which contain 1,200 milligrams per piece.

The latest sex robot doll is a head that can speak, smile and sing – all under the control of your smartphone.

The model has a “stunningly beautiful” face, and can listen and answer questions using voice recognition software.

Made by Doll Sweet Dolls and EX Doll, manufacturers have finished the prototype of the DS Doll Robotic Head containing a movable mechanical structure coated in silicone ‘skin’ and controlled by a smartphone and a PlayStation controller.

But the robot -like-doll is only able to communicate in Chinese.

They are hoping to launch a crowdfunding campaign to help produce an English and Japanese version.

She does not have a rotatable neck, but will fit all the company’s other doll bodies, which have flexible limbs allowing them to “move as a real person”.

Paul Lumb, head of Cloud Climax , says the prototype is the “Bugatti Veyron of VR” – and comes with a similarly hefty price tag at around £4,500.

The company are Europe’s only authorised EX Doll retailer and are hoping to bring the robotic head to the UK at the end of next year.

Paul says the futuristic technology is at the “forefront” of sex tech, but insists we are still decades away from “sex robots”.

He said: “EX Dolls have been working on a robotics head since 2014, but we’re generations away from a Terminator-style cyborg.

“What they’ve been doing is developing app control for the robot head, but currently with the prototype it’s only got Chinese dialect, which is their core market.

“Over the next 12 months, they want to develop Japanese and English speaking models.

“They will have an element of natural conversation, so they won’t sound too robotic, but they will take time – languages are massive.

“The voice recognition is no different to a smart phone, but this model also has facial expressions, unlike standard silicone heads.

“Over the last two years we’ve been moving towards real touch, real feel silicon dolls, enhancing the skeleton to make it lighter – these adult-sized dolls have a combined head and body weight of five stone.

“It’s an opportunity to take this to the next level of where doll development is going, and it’s been happening quietly behind the scenes for ten to 15 years.

“This is revolutionary, it’s a game-changer – from a gamer’s perspective, it’d be like a new console being released.

“This is the next step of teledildonics reality, it’s at the forefront of adult tech and is really the Bugatti Veyron of VR.”

Paul says it is unlikely we will see ‘actual sex robots’ any time soon, as they would be too heavy and expensive.

But he says this prototype is the latest step to the ‘next level of very natural realism’.

He added: “Two studio level make up artists have taken this head to the next level, it looks very natural in the face.

“The realism of a robotic head and body together will be the next level of enhancement – the guys who work for EX Dolls have masters in robotics and are continually evolving this technology.

“From a software point of view, you don’t want it breaking, and they need to get the internal components correct.

“They’re also working on facial posturing, narration and interaction.

“We’re still six or seven years away from having the ability to incorporate sensor pads and electronic wiring – it’ll probably be a decade before prototypes are even made.

“You just don’t want a heavy doll filled with technology, it can’t really be an actual sex robot – it’d be too expensive.

“The skeleton can be posed and moved, and the head can be interacted with, but there’s not full body movement and it’s just an enhancement to what we’re currently selling.

“This is the ultimate, really – I’d be very surprised if we see a fully autonomous body soon, it’s too future tech and that’ll be 15 to 20 years down the line.”

Paul says the dolls are part of promoting a healthy sex life – something he compares to healthy eating or going to the gym.

He said there are many uses for the dolls, not just sexual gratification, and says some men have large collections of the dolls to dress up and photographic.

Paul added: “This head is great if you’re into your photography – standard silicone heads only have one mannerism, but this gives you the ability to change expressions.

“The doll community don’t always have sex with dolls, some people collect them like art, and they have different heads for different body types.”

“People are in love with their smart phones, which they’re physically connected to, and this is the same thing.”

The DS Doll Robotic Head is set to hit the shelves at the end of 2018.
