UTERINE FIBROID

                                             FACTS ABOUT UTERINE FIBROID

 Uterine fibroids are very common non-cancerous (benign) growths that develop in the muscular wall of the uterus. They can range in size from very tiny (a quarter of an inch) to larger than a cantaloupe. Occasionally, they can cause the uterus to grow to the size of a five-month pregnancy. In most cases, there is more than one fibroid in the uterus. While fibroids do not always cause symptoms, their size and location can lead to problems for some women, including pain and heavy bleeding.
Fibroids can dramatically increase in size during pregnancy. This is thought to occur because of the increase in estrogen levels during pregnancy. After pregnancy, the fibroids usually shrink back to their pre-pregnancy size. They typically improve after menopause when the level of estrogen, the female hormone that circulates in the blood, decreases dramatically. However, menopausal women who are taking supplemental estrogen (hormone replacement therapy) may not experience relief of symptoms.
Uterine fibroids are the most common tumors of the female genital tract. You might hear them referred to as "fibroids" or by several other names, including leiomyoma, leiomyomata, myoma and fibromyoma. Fibroid tumors of the uterus are very common, but for most women, they either do not cause symptoms or cause only minor symptoms.

                     Subserosal Fibroids

These develop under the outside covering of the uterus and expand outward through the wall, giving the uterus a knobby appearance. They typically do not affect a woman's menstrual flow, but can cause pelvic pain, back pain and generalized pressure. The subserosal fibroid can develop a stalk or stem-like base, making it difficult to distinguish from an ovarian mass. These are called pedunculated. The correct diagnosis can be made with either an ultrasound or magnetic resonance (MR) exam.

                        Intramural Fibroids

These develop within the lining of the uterus and expand inward, increasing the size of the uterus, and making it feel larger than normal in a gynecologic internal exam. These are the most common fibroids. Intramural fibroids can result in heavier menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain, back pain or the generalized pressure that many women experience.

                         Submucosal Fibroids

These are just under the lining of the uterus. These are the least common fibroids, but they tend to cause the most problems. Even a very small submucosal fibroid can cause heavy bleeding - gushing, very heavy and prolonged periods.

                    Prevalence of Uterine Fibroids

Twenty to 40 percent of women age 35 and older have uterine fibroids of a significant size. African American women are at a higher risk for fibroids: as many as 50 percent have fibroids of a significant size. Uterine fibroids are the most frequent indication for hysterectomy in premenopausal women and, therefore, are a major public health issue. Of the 600,000 hysterectomies performed annually in the United States, one-third are due to fibroids

                        Uterine Fibroid Symptoms

Most fibroids don’t cause symptoms—only 10 to 20 percent of women who have fibroids require treatment. Depending on size, location and number of fibroids, they may cause:

• Heavy, prolonged menstrual periods and unusual monthly bleeding, sometimes with clots; this can lead to anemia
• Pelvic pain and pressure
• Pain in the back and legs
• Pain during sexual intercourse
• Bladder pressure leading to a frequent urge to urinate
• Pressure on the bowel, leading to constipation and bloating
• Abnormally enlarged abdomen

Nonsurgical Uterine Fibroid Embolization – A Major Advance in Women’s Health

Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), also known as uterine artery embolization, is performed by an interventional radiologist, a physician who is trained to perform this and other types of embolization and minimally invasive procedures. It is performed while the patient is conscious, but sedated and feeling no pain. It does not require general anesthesia.
The interventional radiologist makes a tiny nick in the skin in the groin and inserts a catheter into the femoral artery. Using real-time imaging, the physician guides the catheter through the artery and then releases tiny particles, the size of grains of sand, into the uterine arteries that supply blood to the fibroid tumor. This blocks the blood flow to the fibroid tumor and causes it to shrink and die.

                        UFE Recovery Time

Fibroid embolization usually requires a hospital stay of one night. Pain-killing medications and drugs that control swelling typically are prescribed following the procedure to treat cramping and pain. Many women resume light activities in a few days and the majority of women are able to return to normal activities within seven to 10 days.

                        UFE Efficacy

• On average, 85-90 percent of women who have had the procedure experience significant or total relief of heavy bleeding, pain and/or bulk-related symptoms.
• The procedure is effective for multiple fibroids and large fibroids.
• Recurrence of treated fibroids is very rare. Short and mid-term data show UFE to be very effective with a very low rate of recurrence. Long-term (10-year) data are not yet available, but in one study in which patients were followed for six years, no fibroid that had been embolized regrew.

Additional UFE Facts

• In 2007, the first gorilla was treated with UFE for her fibroids.
• An estimated 13,000-14,000 UFE procedures are performed annually in the U.S. (as of 2004)
• Embolization of the uterine arteries is not new. It has been used successfully by interventional radiologists for more than 20 years to treat heavy bleeding after childbirth.
• Embolization has been used to treat tumors since 1966. Embolization to treat uterine fibroids has been performed since 1995 and the embolic particles are approved by the FDA specifically to treat uterine fibroid tumors, based on comparative trials showing similar efficacy with less serious complications compared to hysterectomy and myomectomy (the surgical removal of fibroids).
• Embolization of fibroids was first used as an adjunct to help decrease blood loss during myomectomy. To the surprise of the initial users of this method, many patients had spontaneous resolution of their symptoms after only the embolization and no longer needed the surgery.
• UFE is covered by most major insurance companies and is widely available across the country.
• Most women with symptomatic fibroids are candidates for UFE and should obtain a consult with an interventional radiologist to determine whether UFE is a treatment option for them. An ultrasound or MRI diagnostic test will help the interventional radiologist to determine if the woman is a candidate for this treatment.
• Many women wonder about the safety of leaving particles in the body. The embolic particles most commonly used in UFE have been available with FDA approval for use in people for more than 20 years. During that time, they have been used in thousands of patients without long-term complications.

                                              Effect on Fertility

There have been numerous reports of pregnancies following uterine fibroid embolization, however prospective studies are needed to determine the effects of UFE on the ability of a woman to have children. One study comparing the fertility of women who had UFE with those who had myomectomy showed similar numbers of successful pregnancies. However, this study has not yet been confirmed by other investigators.
Less than two percent of patients have entered menopause as a result of UFE. This is more likely to occur if the woman is in her mid-forties or older and is already nearing menopause.

                                                      Risks

UFE is a very safe method and, like other minimally invasive procedures, has significant advantages over conventional open surgery. However, there are some associated risks, as there are with any medical procedure. A small number of patients have experienced infection, which usually can be controlled by antibiotics. There also is a less than one percent chance of injury to the uterus, potentially leading to a hysterectomy. These complication rates are lower than those of hysterectomy and myomectomy.

                         Magnetic Resonance Guided Focused Ultrasound

Magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound (MRGFU) is a non-invasive outpatient, procedure that uses high intensity focused ultrasound waves to ablate (destroy) the fibroid tissue. During the procedure, an interventional radiologist uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to see inside the body to deliver the treatment directly to the fibroid. The procedure is FDA approved for treating uterine fibroids, but is under investigation for the treatment of breast, prostate, brain and bone cancer.

MRI scans identify the tissue in the body to treat and are used to plan each patient's procedure. MRI's provide a three-dimensional view of the targeted tissue, allowing for precise focusing and delivery of the ultrasound energy. MRI also enables the physician to monitor tissue temperature in real-time to ensure adequate but safe heating of the target. Immediate imaging of the treated area following MRGFU helps the physician determine if the treatment was successful.

The ultrasound energy used in MRGFU can pass through skin, muscle, fat and other soft tissues. High-intensity ultrasound energy that is directed to the fibroid heats up the tissue and destroys it. This method of tissue destruction is called thermal ablation.
This procedure is new and not widely available. Information on research findings can found in SIR's MRGFU bibliography.

                                  Surgical Treatments for Fibroids

Gynecologists perform hysterectomy and myomectomy surgery. Hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus and is considered major abdominal surgery. It requires three to four days of hospitalization and the average recovery period is six weeks.
Depending on the size and placement of the fibroids, myomectomy can be an outpatient surgery or require two to three days in the hospital. However, myomectomy is usually major surgery that involves cutting out the biggest fibroid or collection of fibroids and then stitching the uterus back together. Most women have multiple fibroids and it is not physically possible to remove all of them because it would remove too much of the uterus. While myomectomy is frequently successful in controlling symptoms, the more fibroids the patient has, generally, the less successful the surgery. In addition, fibroids may grow back several years later.
Myomectomy, like UFE, leaves the uterus in place and may, therefore, preserve the woman’s ability to have children.

TREATMENT FOR SICKLE CELL DISORDER

CELLOD-S

INTRODUCTION

Cellod-S is a natural medicine. It inhibits blood cells disorders and promotes vigor. Cellod-S becomes invaluable in the treatment of sickle cell disorders, anemia, and other cell related illnesses.

 
SAFETY AND EFFICACY
Cellod-S is 100% natural product. It has been found to be very safe. Toxicity test On Cellod-S was conducted in 2005 by the renowned Toxicologist, University of Benin, Prof. E.K.I. Omogbai who concluded in his report that “The herbal preparation has been tested for both acute and chronic toxic effects at doses over two orders of magnitude greater than the calculated human dosage currently used and no abnormalities have been detected. The product therefore has shown a high degree of safety”. Again, the study on Cellod-S by eminent scholars of the Faculty of Pharmacy, College of Medicine, University of Lagos and published in J. Pharm, Sci & Pharm Vol.8 (3 & 4), July – December 2006, established that Cellod-S, like other similar herbal formulations does not require extensive principal investigations to establish efficacy and safety like new chemical entities (NCES). Quote: “It is our opinion that elaborate pre-clinical investigations required for NCEs are not necessary for those herbal formulations, most plant constituents of which are consumed as vegetables by the locals and have had decades or even centuries of ethno-medicinal applications without reported or observed incidence of toxicity”. It is worthy of note that before any herbal product is registered by National Agency For Food And Drug Administration And Control (NAFDAC), it is certified safe for human consumption but NAFDAC does not uphold claims of efficacy hence registered herbal products are compelled to carry the Disclaimer. “These claims have not been verified by NAFDAC”. Apart from the fact that the formulation, (Cellod-S) has been in use for generations upon generations, we have practical field experience of uninterrupted use of Cellod-S for twenty years with a track record of excellent efficacy.
Cellod-S effectively restores full health to the patients between weeks and some Months depending on the age of the patients and severity of the cases. Success rate for sickle cell is 99% of treated cases, a situation difficult to believe in the midst of the myth that sickle cell disorders have not yet got any effective remedy. The study by the eminent scholars of the college of medicine, UNILAG had this to Say “Cellod-S thus showed remarkable sickling prevention and sickling reversal activities”. They concluded: “The results of these pre-clinical evaluations indicate that Cellod-S has the acclaimed anti-sickling ethno-medicinal use and that haemolysis - a major mechanism-based toxicity of potential anti-sickling agents, and phenomenon most guided against in sickle cell sufferers – is not a problem with Cellod-S”. When combined with Procin-X, the therapy becomes an effective treatment for Prostate enlargement, chronic infections and fibroid.

HEALTH BENEFITS
When used on its own for Sickle Cell, Cellod-S has many benefits which include the following:-
1. ‘’It achieves Sickling reversal and Sickling prevention activities’’ (College of Medicine, UNILAG)
2. Cellod-S sustains a sickle cell patient even when the PCV of the patient is remarkably low and gradually builds up the PCV.
3. It dramatically reduces the occurrence of pains and crises to the barest minimum.
4. If still within growing age, Cellod-S promotes growth of stunted patients.
5. It helps to heal chronic ankle ulcers arising from sickle cell complications.
6. Pregnant patients are able to successfully carry their babies to full term.
B. When combined with Procin-X, the therapy is invaluable in the treatment of prostate enlargement, chronic infections and fibroid.

CLINICAL RESULTS.
Patients have been treated successfully for fourteen years before the product got registered With NAFDAC six years ago. During this period, the use of the products have been extended the use of this product to virtually the whole country- from Sapele to Warri, Asaba, Benin, Ado-Ekiti, Katsina, Abuja, Minna, Kaduna, Kano, Jos, Ilorin, Ibadan, Oyo, Ogbomoso, Lagos, Abeokuta, Onitsha, Enugu, Aba, Owerri, Uyo, Port Harcourt and others. The results of nationwide sales and use confirm the safety and efficacy of the product as no case of SIDE EFFECTS has been reported so far. they have been able to established a worldwide mail order business and an acclaimed marketing agent in the U.S. From these records, for sickle cell, more than 900,000 prescriptions of Cellod-S have been made within the period without any reported side effects to more than 1500 patients. While formal Clinical Trials are being arranged with The College of Medicine, University of Lagos and the National Hospital, Abuja, it is evident that the exercise may be just a formality as many more patients have taken the formulation and for much longer period than the formal clinical trial will cover.

CONCLUSION
Consultant specialists undertaking series of studies, analyses and tests to ensure the safety and efficacy of Cellod-S. The formulations has been in use for twenty years. During the period, the product had been developed from its crude form of fermented alcohol solutions to its present form of capsules in blisters. It has been no easy task to convince people of this amazing breakthrough in the management of sickle cell anaemia particularly the orthodox medical practitioners – doctors and pharmacists who constitute the main gateway to getting the unbelievable good news of Cellod-S to all the stake holders. From NAFDAC to Technical Studies and Practical Field Results. Cellod- S has been proved to be safe. What could be contested therefore is its efficacy. That is why when there is doubt, we give free samples for trials to doctors, pharmacists and others. The message is out loud and clear. There is the urgent need to co-operate with us to get Cellod-S to all that need it. It is a source of joy to us that a newly formed NGO for relief of sickle cell sufferers – The Sickle Cell Relief Association of Nigeria, has adopted Cellod- S as the medication for their program. So much will be achieved for the suffering millions of sickle cell disorders if you also adopt Cellod-S for your program.

ADMINISTRATION OF CELLOD-S
DOSAGE
Sickle Cell disorders, Anaemia and to Restore Vigor.
(a) 0-5 years
3 capsules prepared as herbal tea once daily
(b) 5-16 years
3 capsules once daily
(c) Over 16 years
3 capsules twice daily

NOTE
Treatment should continue until patient is completely well; i.e. free from all symptoms and physically fit. Preventive dose may be necessary in most cases of Sickle Cell disorders. Patients with ankle sores may consult the head office. Cellod-S has been a complete relief to many Sickle cell patients who remain fully well without further medication. Others take preventive dose as
necessary while a small percentage of patients may remain perpetually on the medicine to sustain full health.

Red Wine and Cancer Prevention: Fact Sheet
Key Points
Research on the antioxidant found in red wine has shown that they may help inhibit the development of certain cancers (see Question 1).
Resveratrol has been shown to reduce tumor incidence in animals by affecting one or more stages of cancer development. It has been shown to inhibit growth of many types of cancer cells in culture (see Question 2).
Recent evidence from animal studies suggests this anti-inflammatory compound may be an effective chemopreventive agent in three stages of the cancer process: Initiation, promotion, and progression (see Question 3).
Red wine is a rich source of biologically active phytochemicals, chemicals found in plants. Particular compounds called polyphenols found in red wine—such as catechins and resveratrol—are thought to have antioxidant or anticancer properties.
What are polyphenols and how do they prevent cancer?
Polyphenols are antioxidant compounds found in the skin and seeds of grapes. When wine is made from these grapes, the alcohol produced by the fermentation process dissolves the polyphenols contained in the skin and seeds. Red wine contains more polyphenols than white wine because the making of white wine requires the removal of the skins after the grapes are crushed. The phenols in red wine include catechin, gallic acid, and epicatechin.
Polyphenols have been found to have antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are substances that protect cells from oxidative damage caused by molecules called free radicals. These chemicals can damage important parts of cells, including proteins, membranes, and DNA. Cellular damage caused by free radicals has been implicated in the development of cancer. Research on the antioxidants found in red wine has shown that they may help inhibit the development of certain cancers.
What is resveratrol and how does it prevent cancer?
Resveratrol is a type of polyphenol called a phytoalexin, a class of compounds produced as part of a plant's defense system against disease. It is produced in the plant in response to an invading fungus, stress, injury, infection, or ultraviolet irradiation. Red wine contains high levels of resveratrol, as do grapes, raspberries, peanuts, and other plants.
Resveratrol has been shown to reduce tumor incidence in animals by affecting one or more stages of cancer development. It has been shown to inhibit growth of many types of cancer cells in culture. Evidence also exists that it can reduce inflammation. It also reduces activation of NF kappa B, a protein produced by the body's immune system when it is under attack. This protein affects cancer cell growth and metastasis. Resveratrol is also an antioxidant.
What have red wine studies found?
The cell and animal studies of red wine have examined effects in several cancers, including leukemia, skin, breast, and prostate cancers. Scientists are studying resveratrol to learn more about its cancer preventive activities. Recent evidence from animal studies suggests this anti-inflammatory compound may be an effective chemopreventive agent in three stages of the cancer process: Initiation, promotion, and progression.
Research studies published in the International Journal of Cancer show that drinking a glass of red wine a day may cut a man's risk of prostate cancer in half and that the protective effect appears to be strongest against the most aggressive forms of the disease. It was also seen that men who consumed four or more 4-ounce glasses of red wine per week have a 60 percent lower incidence of the more aggressive types of prostate cancer.
However, studies of the association between red wine consumption and cancer in humans are in their initial stages. Although consumption of large amounts of alcoholic beverages may increase the risk of some cancers, there is growing evidence that the health benefits of red wine are related to its nonalcoholic components.

Medical Attributes of Polygonum cuspidatum - Japanese knotweed  
Polygonum cuspidatum, known by the common name Japanese knotweed, is a tall, stout herbaceous perennial (Seiger, 2005) and is a member of the Polygonaceae (Seiger, 2005).  In China it is referred to as Hu Zhanz.  Japanese knotweed is also known under the scientific names Fallopia japonica and Reynoutria japonica.  The leaves are alternately arranged and are oval with pointed tips and a truncate base.  They measure approximately 15 cm long by 7.5-10 cm wide (Remaley, 2005).  Clusters of tiny white flowers are produced in the late summer, though reproduction is generally through rhizome rather than seed production (Weston et al, 2005). Knotweed is native of China, North and South Korea as well as Japan (Seiger, 2005). Outside of its point of origin, Japanese knotweed was introduced as an ornamental plant Remaley, 2005).  It is widely distributed across the United States and Canada and is found especially along rivers.  It has become established as an invasive species across Eastern Europe, Great Britain and parts of the United States (Seiger, in 1997) including Massachusetts, Connecticut, and California (USDA, 2009). Because of its presence in China, it has been mainly used primarily in Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as in Asian cultures. The rhizome has been used as an anti-inflammatory, anti-tussitive, diuretic, emmenagogue, emollient, febrifuge, stomachic (Duke & Ayensu, 1985; Usher, 1974). Extracts of the plant have shown antitumor activity within Traditional Chinese Medicine (Duke & Ayensu, 1985). Japanese knotweed contains compounds that are part of a group of organic chemicals called stilbenes, which are polyphenolic compounds attached by an ethylene (Vastano et al., 2000). The specific composition is dependent on the side chains.  One common stilbene found in Japanese knotweed is resveratrol, which is 3,5,4'-Trihydroxystilbene. Resveratrol has two isomers: cis and trans, with the latter being the most abundant.  Piceid, also known polydatin, is a glucoside form of resveratrol found in Japanese knotweed.  Emodin is an anthraquinone derivative that occurs in extracts of knotweed (Vastano et al., 2000) and other plant species. Resveratrol has been shown to have numerous effects, as assessed both in vitro and in vivo.  It decreases the viscosity of the blood and act as anticoagulant to thin blood.  Human blood was used for in vitro analysis, while rabbits were used for in vivo analysis.  This study showed that this property of resveratrol allows it to be effective in treating cardiovascular disease by reducing thrombosis and embolisms that can block arteries and lead to myocardial and cerebral infarctions (Wang et. al, 2002).  Resveratrol was successfully able to decrease platelet aggregation in patients that were resistant to aspirin.  This in vitro study showed that resveratrol could be used to help treat these high risk vascular patients (Gyorgyi, 2006).      Resveratrol can also provide inflammation relief when used in therapeutically effective amounts and combined with Devil's claw, grapeskin, and syzygium (Charters et al, 2003).  Research shows that extracts from P. cuspidatum inhibits inflammation in mouse ears in response to a topical application of 12-O- tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) by inhibiting the development of edema and neutrophil infiltration, which is an essential part of the immune response.  The extract at the doses of 2.5, 1.25, and 0.3 milligrams was found to be as effective as indomethacin, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, at reducing edema (Bralley et. al, 2008).  Edema can lead to more serious complications such as congestive heart failure, so any alleviation is beneficial.   Resveratrol has been found to reduce the tumor volume, tumor weight, and lung metastasis at doses of 2.5 and 10 mg/kg in mice with highly metastatic lung carcinoma (LLC) tumors (Kimura, 2001). The inhibitory effects could not be explained b

HERBS OF NATURE

 

Herbs

Herbs have always been the basic source of medication in all the cultures across the world. We find mention of herbs and their uses in history, literature, the Bible as well as several other religious texts. What is more significant is the fact that the Bible lets us know that ‘God has provided man with all herb bearing seeds that is upon the surface of the earth and all the trees, wherein is the fruit of a tree producing seed, it should be considered as meat by us'. For thousands of years, man has been using the herbs to cure his ailments. Most importantly, compared to other types of medications, herbs are safe for use and very consistent having little or no side effect whatsoever.

First and foremost, it needs to be mentioned that term ‘herb' denotes plants that of non-woody nature. In contemporary times, the term ‘herbs' means any plant or part of a plant that is used to flavour foods or in the form of medications. Herbs are almost present everywhere. For instance, they are present even in your kitchen - the mustard on your table as well as several other spices that line your kitchen shelf originate from herbs. Actually, there are numerous instances of herbs in our daily life. Herbs are often described as wonders of Mother Nature.

Since the prehistoric days, people have always been seeking help via the herbs, as they are natural resources. In fact, herbs are dissimilar to contemporary medications that result in numerous side effects and they possess the aptitude to restore the defenses of the body, thereby, assisting the body to heal itself without any side effects.

All herbs are natural medications and they have been the natural medicines for the humans all the times. While writing about herbs, it is essential to mention the different types of herbal medicine systems that are in use even to this day - for instance, European, Chinese, American, Ayurvedic, Western and Native are the most established systems. All these systems help to cure the body as a whole and each of them make use of the force of the herbs to function as required in collaboration with the natural energy in every individual. Therefore, it is advisable that you should use herbs to possess natural, vital energy to undertaking things that you take please in, to possess the capability to sustain the normal immune system of your body to protect yourself from different ailments.

Precisely speaking, the herbs provide us with numerous health benefits. Here we shall discuss about a few of them. Herbs are effective in cleansing as well as sanitizing the body with no side effects whatsoever. In addition, herbs help to control and nature the glands so that they function as usual. Herbs also enclose high levels of different vitamins, minerals as well as other nutrients that nurture as well as build the body. Herbs also enable the body to possess additional vigour/ energy so that it is able to heal itself. Last, but not the least important, herbs encourage the good bacteria present in our body naturally.

Herbs actually absorb various substances from the soil and subsequently transform them into minerals, vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates and fats that are used by our body for nourishment as well as healing itself. By making use of the herbs or whole plants, we soak in all the essential ingredients they enclose. Almost all herbs enclose numerous active substances, one among which normally dominate and help us to decide on its choice as a medication. Different other curative factors of the herbs ought not to be ignored since they also assist the body to absorb its benefits and safeguard against side effects.

It may be noted that the herbs always function in synergy and, hence, combining them improves the properties of each herb, facilitating to obtain better curing to the body. For instance, a good combination of herbs like hops, valerian and passiflora works wonderfully to induce sleep. All the three herbs mentioned here possess relaxant attributes, while passiflora focuses on facilitating sleep. At the same time, valerian helps to unwind the tense muscles, while hops have a distinctive impact on calming the nervous system.

In the study of herbs (herbology), herbs are supposed to possess changing combinations of properties and extent of each property also. Herbs have the ability to heat as well as dry or heat and moisturize. In addition, herbs may be cooling and drying or cooling and moistening. For instance, one herb may possess highly warming qualities, while another one may simply be somewhat warming. But, both these herbs would be regarded as heating herbs.

The manner in which these attributes are allocated to the plants is quite simple. The herbs that possess heating properties are thought to generate warmth inside the body. Plainly speaking, all the aromatic herbs, for instance, caraway and anise, are deemed to be warming. Interestingly enough, even several bitter herbs, for example Oregon grape, are also categorized as herbs possessing heating properties.

Conversely, cooling herbs are basically those herbs, which medical practitioners consider, that take away the heat from the body or some body part. Generally, herbs that enclose extremely volatile natural oils, for instance spearmint or wintergreen, are classified as cooling herbs. Borage is another example of a cooling herb and, like other cooling herbs, is also referred to as refrigerants. In order to obtain some notion or awareness regarding what a refrigerant actually is, you may imagine of a scorching summer day and subsequently envisage a slice of cucumber or watermelon. In fact, cucumber and watermelon are among the two best refrigerant foods.

It may be noted that the categorization of an herb as drying or moistening also largely depends on the individual properties of a particular herb. Any herb which is effective in augmenting urine passage, for instance bearberry, is considered to be a drying herb. Similarly, all herbs possessing astringent properties, for instance sage or oak bark, too are also known as drying herbs. Generally, aromatic herbs, such as caraway or anise, are also believed to be drying herbs. However, there are exceptions to this general rule too. For instance, fennel is considered to be a moistening herb - it is known to augment milk secretion in lactating women. If an herb is demulcent (soothing) or mucilaginous, it is also considered to be a moistening herb. Other herbs that are also classified as moistening herbs include marshmallow, flax seed, slippery elm and licorice.

The European herbalists had developed a novel way of understanding the properties of different herbs. What they actually did was to imagine that each herb had a specific activity on the different parts of our body. Precisely speaking, they started defining specific activity hubs within the body for every herb. For instance, cayenne pepper, which was categorized as a heating herb, was identified as having an affect on the circulatory system since it was found to enhance the blood flow, particularly to the capillaries close to the skin's surface. Possibly this clarifies the reason why people who inhabit extremely hot climatic conditions generally use hot peppers in their culinary. In effect, ingestion of hot peppers assists them to disperse the body heat by flowing it to the surface of the skin, where it results in cooling in the form of perspiration and evaporates, while the heat is spread out into the nearby atmosphere.

Another good example of heating herb is ginger which is said to possess the same properties as those of cayenne pepper. Nevertheless, the center of activity of ginger is described as basically lying in the internal organs. According to the conventional European medicine system, ginger is believed to generate a type of heat that remains within the body. Hence, ginger is often used by people during the winter months and in more proportions in the cool northern climatic conditions. People inhabiting these regions use ginger as a medication to treat colds as well as to reinforce the bladder and the kidneys. The basic dissimilarities between cayenne pepper and ginger are owing to the different activity centers of each herb within the body.

Making issues further complicated, it may be noted that herbs are not confined to merely one activity center. There are several herbs that people use for treating numerous dissimilar problems at the same time and instantly, for instance headaches, acne, weariness, constipation and indigestion. The main activity center for such herbs may possibly be the gall bladder and liver, where they would be considered to result in augmenting bile secretion. In fact, the hypothesis goes something like this: enhanced secretion of bile augments digestion of fats and oils, which, in turn, enhances the complexion. Increase bile secretion will also facilitate in easing chronic constipation. Rinsing out the colon is also a vital function.

Build up of toxic substances in the bowels owing to poor decomposition of ingested foods and their elimination from the body also adds to the common toxic condition that may lead to several of the symptoms mentioned earlier in this article. The toxic substances present in the colon are taken up by the blood and, hence, the cleaner the colon will be, the purer will be the blood. It may be noted that the liver being the natural filter of the body, facilitates in straining toxic substances from the blood. If the pace of the liver's activity is enhanced, it will result in the blood containing lesser impurities or toxic substances. Like Oregon grape, there are a number of herbs that have their activity center in the liver and gall bladder and they influence the body in several ways - most are discussed above.

Hypothesis like these are unsophisticated in contemporary medical terms and mostly unproven by medical research. However, traditional medicine or the study of herbs need not deal with curing from the viewpoint of analysis done in the laboratories. In fact, traditional medicine has always been founded on experimental observation of people as individuals.

It may be noted that the earliest nations or cultures, for instance, the Egyptians, were extremely proficient in using herbs appropriately. An antique text written in 1500 B.C. mentions about over 700 herbal medications, counting herbs like aloevera, caraway seeds, garlic and poppy. Nevertheless, people in China have been practising herbal medication for more than 5000 years. In fact, the Chinese are renowned for their understanding as well as use of ginseng. Hence, there is no reason to be apprehensive to use herbs in your kitchen. On the contrary, you should discuss about herbs and their significance in our life. There are infinite other subjects that endorse the gainful consequences of using herbs, inclusive of the quality of herbs, different herbal formulations, procedures to prepare herbal medication, the nutritional content of herbs as well as the dosage of herbal medicines. At the same time, it is important to always bear in mind that using herbs or any product containing herbs, denotes a more vigorous life. Therefore, take pleasure in the herbs, vitamins, aromatherapy and your life!

MALE IMPOTENCE

IMPOTENCE

 

The stiffening of the penis is called an erection, it occurs naturally when the blood vessels in the penis accumulate blood, hardening the organ. The dilation of the arteries in the penis is the reason the blood is able to rush up into them, thus causing the hardening of the organ. Nerves in the brain and the spinal cord control these processes of arterial dilation, which in turn receive a psychological or sexual stimulation and respond. The medical condition commonly called impotence results when and a person is unable to achieve an erection and or is not in a position to maintain the stiffness in the penis.

The underlying physical cause of impotence in a man is a direct result of an impaired circulatory system which is unable to maintain the flow of sufficient blood into the penis to elicit a stiffening or erection, the hardening of the walls of the arteries or atherosclerosis may be the cause of this impairment of the circulatory system in the person. The side effects of certain drugs and medications can also induce impotence in men, and there are other probable causes such as the presence of some disorders in the body, including prostate disease, metabolic disorders such as diabetes, imbalances in the levels of hormones and certain types of nerve disorders. Psychological reasons play a huge part in the inability to get an erection but these make up only one in ten cases on average, that is though metal factors can play a role, physical factors seem to be the dominant cause of impotency in most individuals. It is important to discern between the two probable causes of impotence, thus an affected man may be able to find out the reason behind his impotency, and differentiate between a possible psychological reason and a physical one by undertaking the “postage stamp test”. This test is possible because most men experience erections while asleep as a part of normal life. To carry out the test wrap the penis with using a roll of stamps and glue them cylindrically around the penis, turn in to sleep with these stamps on the penis. The cause of the impotence in the person is usually psychologically, if an erection has occurred at night and the roll of stamps have been consequently torn in the morning. Impotence of this sort is temporary in extent, and could be related to performance anxiety and very commonly to stress.

 Supplements and herbs

The flow of blood into the penis can be greatly enhanced through the use of a combination of supplements, which can all help counter impotency. The elasticity and suppleness of the blood vessels is increased and maintained through the use of the vitamin C, this enables their rapid dilation and increases the flow of blood into the penis. Blood flow into the penis can also be improved and encouraged through the use of essential fatty acids found in abundance in supplements such as the oil of the flaxseed and the oil of the evening primrose herb, both of these supplements are excellent for long term use and help in the prevention of the narrowing of the blood vessels due to their weakening and reduce the level of the plaque forming substances such as cholesterol. The penile tissue can be aided through the use of the herb ginkgo biloba, which is mainly used to increases blood circulation in the brain; it may prove beneficial in this instance as well. An improved penile circulation was observed after six weeks, when an ultrasound examinations was conducted on sixty impotent men who were using the herb ginkgo biloba as a supplement to combat impotency. In this same study, fifty percent of the patients had regained complete function and had recovered from impotency within six months of continual supplementation with the gingko biloba. While the beneficial results of supplementation with the gingko begin to appear within a month of using it, the best results are achieved when supplements are used in the long term for at least six months at a stretch to combat impotency. Gingko and the other supplements can be used to holistically boost the health of the body as they possess other benefits besides addressing the impotency itself, these supplements can form a part of the general nutritional maintenance program besides being effective against impotency.

 Where the cause of the impotency in the individual is related to different factors, a variety of other types of supplements can be used. Where prostate disease or dysfunction is the cause of the impotency, use can be made of the African herb called the pygeum africanum as a supplement. The Siberian ginseng and another ginseng called the Panax ginseng increase the rate of testosterone production and its levels in the body of animals and this leads to an increase in mating behavior, these herbs may be useful to humans as well in the effective treatment of impotence. In situations where the other herbs are not able to provide any beneficial effects on the disorder in the person, a tea made from the “potency wood” scientific name- Muira puama can be used, this herb has found traditional usage in Brazil as an aphrodisiac, and it can probably help with impotency in individuals.

While the potency of the remedy used may need adjustments from time to time, such as an increase up to 200c about once every week, or a reduction to 6c at least two times a day during the treatment, the response of the body to the remedy will improve and the condition will show signs of abating at every dose if the regimen is followed carefully.
