Ashwagandha for Reducing Cholesterol Levels Side Effects of Ashwagandha Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction It is amazing the amount of plants, you can see all around you, without knowing their names, or their uses, and then around 40 years later, you say, hey, I know that plant, I recognize it, it used to grow and flourish in the wild forest regions, where I spent my childhood and youth! Well, this particular enlightenment occurred, when I saw dried plants of Withania Somnifora being uprooted by a herbalist friend, because she intended to make some herbal decoctions, concoctions, tinctures, and rejuvenating potions for friends, relatives and members of the family. Even then, the name did not click, even though I thought I knew these red berries. We were expressly forbidden to eat them as children, so I considered them to be poisonous. So naturally, I ignored this plant as not worthy of my attention as a child. I did not know that as an adult, this plant would be world famous all over the world as one of the most powerful sources of natural revitalizing ingredients, especially when one felt his potency, vitality, and virile strength flagging. This plant is known as Ashwagandha for millenniums, and now more and more people in the West have found that this is an excellent, healthy, and healing source, along with Bacopa, of which I will write soon – and Emblica - which you can find here: http://tinyurl.com/zofm2uk – and it is no wonder that there are 7 American companies and 4 Japanese companies, which are trying to take out patents on their own products in which they have added a little bit of Ashwagandha and a little bit of ginseng! But, as this is a natural traditional medicine used in Chinese, and alternative Indian medicine for millenniums, I do not think that any recipe with a number of ingredients picked up without bothering about the quantity and which they could have made up in the form of any jazzy modern medicine, calling it a 21st-century creation with a patent stuck onto it, could be considered to be beneficial or even healthy!

Book Description
Just a short while back, I was dysfunctional. I needed a walker around the house. I couldn't bend. I could barely move. Short of my eighties, I now "knew" what it was like being near the end, near dying. When you are old, the idea of dying is a frequent visitor. I was wrong. Whatever was wrong with me is today also wrong with much younger people. The modern world does not do us favors in some ways, I have learned--and it is human ingenuity at fault. I am writing about that too, among other things. Some of the subjects discussed in this book in lay language: Asthma Allergies Digestion Back pains Skin issues Acid Reflux Sleep Apnea Autoimmunity Fungal infection Perhaps the information in this book will also help you, your loved one, or a friend, back to better health and functionality.

Medicinally Important Trees
Author: Aisha Saleem Khan
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319567772
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
This book provides researchers and advanced students associated with plant and pharmaceutical sciences with comprehensive information on medicinal trees, including their identification, morphological characteristics, traditional and economic uses, along with the latest research on their medicinal compounds. The text covers the ecological distribution of over 150 trees, which are characterized mainly on the basis of their unique properties and phytochemicals of medicinal importance (i.e., anti-allergic, anti-diabetic, anti-carcinogenic, anti-microbial, and possible anti-HIV compounds). Due to the incredibly large diversity of medicinal trees, it is not possible to cover all within one publication, so trees with unique medicinal properties that are relatively more common in many countries are discussed here in order to make it most informative for a global audience. With over 100 illustrations taken at different stages of plant development, this reference work serves as a tool for tree identification and provides morphological explanations. It includes the latest botanical research, including biochemical advancements in phytochemistry techniques such as chromatographic and spectrometric techniques. In addition, the end of each chapter presents the most up-to-date references for further sources of exploration.
