[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.

Liver cleanse detox

The liver performs many functions that help you maintain a healthy body. The liver processes all the things you eat, drink and absorb through the skin and, therefore, is frequently exposed to many harmful substances. Some signs that indicate a damaged liver include allergies, malnutrition, high cholesterol and triglycerides and even gallstones. Liver cleanse can help alleviate many of these problems. There are products for liver cleanse available in health food and pharmacies, but you can also make your own at home with just a few ingredients. Here are 6 foods that cleanse the liver naturally.

1 Eat garlic

Garlic is a great addition to your diet when you are trying to cleanse your liver because it activates enzymes in the liver that help eliminate toxins. It also contains two natural compounds called allicin and selenium that support healthy liver function.

2 Eat green leafy vegetables

Green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, arugula, dandelion greens and chicory provide a multitude of liver cleansing benefits – they eliminate heavy metals, pesticides and herbicides (which wreak havoc on the Liver) and increase the production and flow of healthy bile foods.

3 Eat grapefruit

Grapefruit contains a special protein called glutathione that binds to toxins before they are removed from the body. Enjoying a whole grapefruit or drinking a glass of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice with breakfast helps in cleansing the liver process along with boosting your body’s vitamin C, pectin, and antioxidant content.

4 avocados

Avocados are also high in glutathione, a compound that protects the liver from toxins and ensures proper liver cleanse and functions. Some research has suggested that eating only 1 to 2 avocados per week for a minimum of 30 days may help reverse liver damage.

5 walnuts

Walnuts contain glutathione, an amino acid called l-arginine and omega-3 fatty acids, all of which help cleanse the liver and reduce ammonia – high levels of which are responsible for many diseases. Try to chew a handful of nuts as a snack, or spray on a salad.

6 Eat turmeric

Turmeric is something of a liver cleansing superfood – it protects the liver from toxins and helps regenerate damaged liver cells. It also increases bile production and supports the healthy function of the gallbladder, another purifying organ. Try adding turmeric to the lentil dishes and cooked vegetable dishes to take advantage of their detoxifying benefits.

7 Drink Detoxifying Teas

Certain herbal teas are believed to remove toxins and fat deposits from the liver while increasing levels of hydration. The best teas for cleansing the liver include ingredients such as dandelion root, ginger, clove, burdock root, chamomile, cinnamon, and horsetail. Try to drink at least two cups of herbal tea per day and sweeten it with honey if necessary.

A multimedia project for the 2011 Student Bio Expo by Emma Sparrow. Equine Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy is genetic tendency that makes it hard or impossible for the animal to digest grains or sugar properly and leads to damage to the muscle tissue during physical exertion. EPSM is most commonly associated with draft horses while PPSM is commonly associated with Quarter horses or paints. In a normal horse, glycogen is the energy source used for muscle contraction. An EPSM horse cannot complete this process, resulting in excess stored glycogen which affects the horse physically.
