[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.

This is the truth about how I gotten rid of my asthma medicine, sleeping pills and most of my allergy medicine(except the occasional corticosteroid or antihistamine paired with Ganoderma Fungus extract) at large with my current doctor’s blessings to continue making findings and I did it all without a single bit of self-diagnosis idiocy or homeopathy pseudoscience.

I was legit diagnosed by Doctors in Missouri(where I grew up as a kid).

See, I don’t try to cure myself of anything using herbs since largely that’s unrealistic, I used those kinds of herbal extracts, dietary changes and such to help control my issues and I had many different positive side effects as additional consequences.

Now with Reishi Mushroom, I only buy it through shops such as the Mycologist Paul Stamets’ Fungi Perfecti, Mountain Rose Herbs, VitaJing Herbs on Amazon or Ron Teeguarden’s Dragon Herbs..

Now about the He Shou Wu..

Folks, be warned the raw tuber or root of the Polygonum Multiflorum/Tuber of the Chinese Fleeceflower/Chinese Knotweed or Raw He Shou Wu is potentially TOXIC, but if it’s cooked properly, it is safe to take and becomes an adaptogenic herb or tonic herb and I will explain it here in the description!

The traditionally prepared Processed He Shou Wu is what tonic herb users like myself are meant to to take, poorly prepared and raw forms of he shou wu could be not so tonic and could hurt ya..

I take the Prepared He Shou Wu with Stinging Nettle(leaves and seeds), Milk Thistle or the combination of these two.

I also can take it or the combination with Gynostemma pentaphyllum if I wanted to.

Ok, let’s explain how they do this traditional processing of the polygonum multiflorum root.

First off, you’d have to make the broth it has to be cooked in, this is done by cooking black soybeans in the purest water accessible, they say ten kilograms of the black beans, so this bunch of beans is boiled in the water for four hours, that water is poured off and collected, the same bunch of beans is boiled again in fresh water for 3 hours, add some fresh beans to this second part of the broth batch if you want to I guess..

Step two is taking the harvested roots, slice them up and place them in the bean broth, then boiled the root slices in this broth with the optional addition of rice wine until the liquid is completely cooked off or evaporated over a matter of a few days.

Repeat this process if you wish, but I think according to modern research, high pressure steaming the roots and then processing them in this traditional method would probably be the best method as it is the safest and it’s still the adapogenic product tonic herbalist and herb users like to use!

Here are my links for He Shou Wu I found so far, also consider looking into the book “Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength Stamina and Stress Relief”, David Wolfe’s Books and Ron Teeguarden’s books for further reference.

Here are some other book references such as “Chinese Tonic Herbs” by Ron Teeguarden and Alive and Well With Wild Foods” by Peter Ragnar.

Here are some studies on beneficial properties of Prepared or Processed He Shou Wu and studies in how toxicity is lowered in Prepared He Shou Wu or Fo Ti.

(This last link refers to the He Shou Wu being a POSSIBLE Telomerase Activator along with its antioxidant properties when it’s cooked right!!)

SO long story short on He Shou Wu, this root or fibrous tuber should be traditionally prepared or high pressure steamed and then traditionally prepared afterwards to give people a safer and cleaner product that’s become an adaptogen with super high antioxidant capabilities.

When it comes to all supplements, be sure they are GMP certified, they test their products for toxic heavy metals and such, always make sure they are legitimately and I mean LEGITIMATELY certified selling pure and clean stuff.

All of these herbs should be consulted with a health care professional, like I did my doctor.
