Book Excerpt: CIRCULATORY (Diabetes problems) SYSTEM (LEO)

I must apologize for not posting in a while, but I am working feverishly in getting my book out . . . which was due to be released today!!! I am still cranking out the final touches of the book, waiting for reviews to come in, etc., so that will take an extra couple of weeks before the book will be totally complete.  I ask your indulgence and thank you for your patience, as you are probably no more excited than I am to get the book in your hands.

Here is an excerpt from one of the chapters.

CHAPTER:  Circulatory System/Leo

The heart works closely with the lungs to gain oxygenated blood, with the digestive system to obtain nutrients, and with the kidneys, the body’s main filtering system.  Your blood constantly flows through your kidneys to be purified or filtered.  More than 500 grains of waste matter, acids and poisons have to be removed from the blood through the kidneys every twenty-four hours.  When they fail to do this filtering you might feel depressed and tired, restless at night, with headaches and pains in the back.  There might be scanty urine or a desire to urinate frequently.  Here is where diuretic herbs come into play.  Some diuretics increase the flow of urine by stimulating the cells in the kidneys to excrete more urine, while others improve the blood circulation in the kidneys so that the fresh blood brings more fluids and wastes to be eliminated, which then forms into urine.  Other herbs stimulate the secreting cells or nerves of the kidney tissue, which include buchu, uva ursi, juniper berries, corn silk, fennel, cubeb, and pipsissewa.  Diuretic herbs will be covered thoroughly in the chapter on the Excretory System.

Circulatory problems in diabetics are related to high sugar levels, which impairs the ability of the body to heal wounds.  When the pancreas aren't able to produce sufficient insulin to convert glucose' sugar into energy in the cells (diabetes), the glucose then continues to circulate and accumulate in the blood, which can become very dangerous for diabetics.  A number of organs are affected by diabetes: kidney, pancreas, spleen, liver and gall bladder.  Herbs like uva ursi, parsley root, gentian root, red raspberry leaves, buchu leaves, saw palmetto berries, kelp and bladder wrack all contain chemical ingredients that promote the body's ability to reduce high blood sugar.  

The heart regulates this flow of blood via the blood vessels.  In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) the heart stores the Spirit, manifests in the face and opens into the tongue.  This means that the heart is the root of life and generates all changes in the spirit, which might manifest as heart palpitations, forgetfulness, insomnia, excessive dreaming, disturbed sleep and a feeling of unease.  It also means that one of the indicators of the health of the heart is the complexion.  If one has a normal reddish completion or a pale complexion, that might indicate an abundant, or insufficient, heart blood, respectively.  A purplish facial complexion would be indicative of stagnant heart blood.  Sometimes too much mucus may also contribute to the obstruction of blood, indicated by a thick, greasy tongue coating.

WOMAN'S HERB: CHASTE BERRY (VITEX)

“The Women’s Herb.”  Ahhh, there are quite a few.  My favorite is red raspberry.  Another known for its benefit to women is slippery elm.  CHASTE BERRY (also called 
vitex) is yet another.

Chaste berry is used to support a healthy and regular menstrual cycle, and to treat many imbalances of the female reproductive system, including infertility (and preventing 
miscarriages) when used with red raspberry, false unicorn root and black haw.  It also helps the uterus expel the placenta after childbirth and for increasing breast milk.  

When combined with other herbs, chaste berries are known to support both menopausal and post-menopausal health, as it treats PMS and hot flashes.

Vitex is also used to bring significant relief for women who suffer from premenstrual breast tenderness and pain associated with “lumpy” fibrocystic breasts.

You can also use vitex to treat acne, nervousness, dementia, joint conditions, colds, upset stomach, spleen disorders, headaches, migraine, eye pain, body inflammation and 
swelling.

ONE SHOT HERB for hi calcium, minerals and B vitamins: OATSTRAW

Oatstraw (Avena sativa) is the herb of longevity in the Auryuvedic system of India. It restores nervous system integrity, emotional flexibility, and sexual flow. Oats and oatstraw are exceptionally good at nourishing heart health and moderating cholesterol. Oatstraw infusion (not tea, not tincture, not capsules) provides lots of protein, all macro- and trace-mineral in high amounts, and very high amounts of B vitamins - excepting vitamin B12.

   A cup of oatstraw infusion contains more than 300 milligrams of calcium plus generous amounts of many other minerals. Its steroidal saponins nourish the pancreas and liver, improving digestion and stabilizing moods. Oatstraw is best known however for its ability to enhance libido and mellow the mood. Do be careful whom you share it with, or you may find yourself sowing some wild oats. 

Oatstraw infusion is another favorite of those who want to feel less anxious. Preparation is the same as for nettle infusion; remember to avoid tea bags and capsules. The taste of oatstraw is softer and more mellow; you will enjoy it warm with a little honey. It is especially useful for those whose anxiety is combined with excessive nervous energy. 

Oatstraw infusion builds deep energy for the next day, especially when you have been riding an emotional roller coaster. Oatstraw nourishes the nerves, easing anxiety and improving our ability to live with uncertainty. 

Oatstraw infusion (not tea, tincture, or capsules) has been an ally for depressed women since earliest times. Gentle Avena nourishes the nerves and helps you remember why life is worth living. Oatstraw infusions have helped when muscles that lack minerals -- especially calcium and magnesium -- go into spasms and quiver. If this sounds like your legs, reach for a big glass of nourishing oatstraw infusion.

Herbs for Prostate Treatment plus BONUS 5min VIDEO

Prostate cancer is the most common and second leading type of cancer death in men, after lung cancer. There is not enough known about what causes prostate cancer and how to prevent it. Yet the disease is treatable if found in early stages.

This can be a challenge, since prostate cancer can show no symptoms until it has spread to other parts of the body. Stay ahead of the game – get an annual checkup (plus prostate screening).

Here are some herbs that you can use to treat a variety of these symptoms: Ginseng, fenugreek, parsley, oats, pumpkin seeds, kelp, melilot, bee pollen, buchu leaves, juniper berries, echinacea, golden seal, chaparral, sarsaparilla, wild yam root, yellow dock, yarrow, mullein, horsetail.

For urinary tract infection: Black walnut bark-1/4pt, buchu leaves-1pt, chaparral-1/2pt, echinacea-1/4pt, hawthorn berries-1/4pt, wild yam root-1/4pt, marshmallow-1/2pt.

For prostate cancer: buchu leaves-1pt, juniper berries-1/4pt, echinacea-1/2pt, golden seal-1/4pt, chaparral-1pt, kelp-1/2pt, sarsaparilla-1pt, wild yam root-1/4pt, yellow dock-1pt, yarrow-1/2pt, black walnut bark-1/2pt. Painful urination: buchu leaves-1pt, juniper berries-1/2pt, marshmallow-1pt, parsley-1/2pt, yarrow-1/2pt.

CAUTION – do not take juniper berries if you have any type of kidney disease or infection.

Men younger than 50 who have a bladder infection should see a doctor to determine the cause (since it is so rare).  Men over 50 with recurring bladder infections most likely need to address their prostate health while also dealing with the acute infection.
