[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.

5 Foods That Protect You from Prostate Cancer

There is growing evidence that certain micronutrients,
more specifically antioxidants,
may help prevent some forms of cancer.
It has also been shown that lycopene and other antioxidants
reduce the risk of cancer.
Antioxidants may help shield against cancer and
heart disease by neutralizing harmful molecules known
as oxygen free radicals.

The potential importance of diverse antioxidants
in prostate cancer development is further supported
by recent results indicating decreased prostate cancer
incidence among men with increased exposure to
selenium and vitamin E supplements.
More and more research shows that antioxidants
in vegetables, particularly tomatoes and broccoli,
can lower prostate cancer risk, while foods from animals
may increase risk.

One dietary supplement which seems to dramatically
reduce prostate cancer risk is lycopene, especially found
in diets heavy in cooked tomatoes.
Lycopene is a phytochemical that is found in certain fruits
and vegetables like tomatoes and grapefruits.
Tomatoes also contain significant quantities of potassium,
as well as some vitamin A and vitamin E.

Also, tomatoes figure prominently in a Mediterranean type diet,
which includes plenty of fruits and vegetables and olive oil,
and lesser amounts of meats and animal fat.
These findings suggest that intake of lycopene or
other compounds in tomatoes
may reduce prostate cancer risk,
but other measured carotenoids are unrelated
to risk.

Some scientists believe that rates of cancer
in the modern world are largely tied to the drastic
imbalances in our diets between Omega-6 and
Omega-3 fatty acids.
Omega-3 fatty acids are found in salmon and
other fatty fish, cold-water fish such as tuna,
trout, striped bass, sardines, and herring, and
are available in supplement capsules.
Omega-3 enriched eggs from hens fed rations
containing flaxseed are also very popular.
Omega-6 fatty acids are concentrated in corn,
sunflower and most oils in the processed foods we eat.

Red wine had the greatest impact on the most aggressive,
fast-spreading prostate tumors,
leading to a 60 percent reduction in such cases,
researchers found.
Red wine contains oligomeric proanthocyanidins or
procyanidins, which are plant antioxidants.
Several studies suggest that four to eight glasses
of red wine per week spread out over several sessions
will lower your prostate cancer risk.
