Chinese Herbs - A Natural Way To Improve Your Health

We are all looking for a better life and therefore it's
important to consider any type of medical regime which can
ensure that. Taking healthy Chinese herbs can make a noticeable
difference in the way you look and feel.
 
The first step in starting any new health plan is to do your
research. You'll find many websites on the Internet which offer
detailed explanations of what many of the Chinese herbs can do
for you. Depending on what your particular focus is you'll want
to concentrate on just a few of the herbs.
 
One concern that many people have is not getting a good night's
sleep. They may lay in bed worrying over things that are
essentially out of their control. This can lead to many
restless nights and with a lack of sleep some people find it
harder to function during the day. If this sounds like you
consider trying one of the Chinese herbs whose focus is on
helping you to fall and stay asleep. These are natural products
that have virtually no side-effects so they are a much better
alternative than a doctor prescribed medication which can cause
you more harm than good.
 
Losing weight is another aspect of life that many people
struggle with. With all of the diets being marketed it can be
difficult choosing one that works for you. They are expensive
as well and often involve having to purchase pre-packaged food
that doesn't taste nearly as appealing as fresh fruits,
vegetables and fish.
 
There are several Chinese herbs that can help you lose weight.
They each focus on a different aspect of losing weight and if
you take one every day and eat properly along with exercise
you'll find yourself shedding the unwanted pounds before long.
 
The world today is very busy and it can be difficult to stay on
top of everything. You might be forgetful and find that small
details slip from your mind. If that's the case you should
consider taking one of the Chinese herbs that helps with memory
loss. These herbs are designed to help with that foggy feeling
we all get from time to time. People who take these herbs often
claim that their memory improved almost immediately.
 
Sore joints are a cause of constant stress for a good majority
of the population. If you take one of the healthy Chinese herbs
that is said to help with that you may find yourself taking a
nice long walk instead of nursing a sore hip. Arthritis can be
life changing and with the proper Chinese herbs as part of your
daily routine, the aches and pains can become a thing of your
distant past.
 
It's easy to see that there are many Chinese herbs all designed
to do something different for you. Many health food stores now
have a wide selection of these herbs for their customers along
with a very knowledgeable staff who can guide you towards the
products that are just right for you.

Garlic For Health

Copyright: 2006 Marilyn Pokorney

Before modern medicine garlic was used for almost whatever
ailed you. And today's scientists are discovering that what
the ancients knew was true.

Garlic contains more than 100 therapeutic sulfur compounds
but one, alliin, is converted into allicin, and it's the
chemical responsible for garlic's healing powers.

Garlic is best known for its beneficial effects on the
cardiovascular system. Garlic is effective in preventing
and treating high blood pressure, high cholesterol and
triglyceride levels, reports the American Heart Association.

Some studies show that a daily garlic supplement can even
stop and reverse atherosclerosis, commonly known as
hardening of the arteries.

According to German researchers garlic appears to prevent
the buildup of fatty plaques in the arteries and may even
shrink existing plaques.

Garlic can help keep blood thin so it doesn't produce clots
thus reducing the risks of stroke. Anyone taking a blood
thinner should be careful of adding garlic to their diet for
this reason.

Garlic has antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal
properties.

Yeast infections, colds, flu, sore throat, sinus problems,
respiratory infections, and bronchitis, all yield to garlic
because allicin blocks key enzymes that aid bacteria and
viruses.

Garlic works like a broad-spectrum antibiotic but because
it's a naturally occurring substance no antibiotic
resistance can be built up like with synthetic drugs.

During both WWI and WWII doctors used garlic juice to treat
battle wounds to prevent gangrene.

Garlic aids in the elimination of intestinal parasites,
builds the immune system and even helps to reduce the pain
of rheumatism and arthritis.

MRSA, the most commonly referred to as hospital acquired
infections, can be very serious especially to the elderly
and the young.

Scientists at the University of East London found that
allicin can cure MRSA within weeks. It was also effective
on the newer strains of MRSA which are not cured by even the
most potent of all antibiotics, Vancomycin and
Glycopepetides.
