Alcohol Free Fluid Extract Promotes Cardiovascular Health Hawthorn Berries have a long tradition of use as a nutritive, medicinal food. Modern researchers now believe Hawthorn is one of the most beneficial heart-health herbs available. As an herbal heart tonic, Hawthorn helps with a feeble heart, valvular insufficiency, pulse irregularity, an enlarged heart, arteriosclerosis, angina pectoris, breathing problems due to ineffective heart action and the lack of oxygen in the blood. Helps regulate blood pressure whether high or low. Hawthorn supports circulation and cardiovascular health. Hawthorn is safe for long-term use. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Hawthorn leaf and flower for 'Decreasing cardiac output as described in functional Stage II of NYHA [New York Heart Assoc. clinical definition]. 'Special Caution for Use: A physician must be consulted in cases where symptoms continue unchanged for longer than six weeks or in case of swelling of the legs. Medical diagnosis is absolutely necessary when pains occur in the region of the heart, spreading out to the arms, upper abdomen or the area around the neck, or in cases of respiratory distress (dyspnea).' 'Dosage and Administration: 160 - 900 mg native, water-ethanol extract (ethanol 45 percent v/v or methanol 70 percent v/v, drug-extract ratio = 4 - 7:1, with defined flavonoid or procyanidin content), corresponding to 30 - 168.7 mg procyanidins, calculated as epicatechin, or 3.5 - 19.8 mg flavonoids, calculated as hyperoside in accordance with DAB 10, in two or three individual doses. Hawthorn fluidextract DAB 10: Equivalent individual or daily dosage must be confirmed by clinical-pharmacological experiment or clinical study. Mode of Administration: Liquid or dry pharmaceutical forms, for oral intake. Duration of Administration: 6 weeks minimum.' Hawthorn has a long history in both folk medicine and clinical medicine as a heart tonic. The herb is typically used to improve cardiovascular function, as itincreases the supply of blood to the heart muscle, resulting in enhanced circulation throughout the body. It has been shown to help stabilize angina pectoris, as well as aiding recovery from heart attacks. The leaves, flowers, and berries of hawthorn contain a variety of bioflavonoid-like complexes that appear to be primarily responsible for the cardiac actions of the plant. Hawthorn seems to inhibit angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and reduce production of the potent blood vessel-constricting substance angiotensin II. Hawthorn thus reduces resistance in arteries and improves extremity circulation. The bioflavonoids in hawthorn are potent antioxidants. Numerous double-blind clinical trials have confirmed hawthorn is beneficial for persons with serious heart conditions. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Cardiac, diuretic, astringent, tonic. Mainly used as a cardiac tonic in organic and functional h |

This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Used as an infusion, decoction, extract, tincture and poultice. Used throughout the Indian subcontinent as a poultice for skin diseases and the healing of wounds. It also has an ancient reputation for aiding mental clarity and lowering blood pressure. Hydrocotyle asiatica, listed by Grieve and King's, is sometimes listed as a synonym, but Oriental medical references say that Hydrocotyle is actually a different and medicinally inferior plant. Centella's saponins (including asiaticoside, madecassoside and madasiatic acid) seem to reduce scar formation in wound healing by inhibiting the production of connective tissue as they simultaneously close thewound. As the research below indicates, Centella has been experimentally shown to be 'effective in venous insufficiency, reducing ankle edema, foot swelling, capillary filtration rate and improving microcirculatory parameters.' The herb is very good news for varicose veins. This demonstrable improvement in microcirculatory efficiency may explain Gotu Kola's ancient reputation as an aid to mental clarity, high blood pressure, fever, rheumatism and mental disorders. http://www.herbmed.org/Herbs/Herb95.htm: Clinical Trials Microcirculatory parameters improved for 87 patients with chronic venous hypertensive microangiopathy taking 30 mg bid or 60 mg bid for 2 months Cesarone 1994 Bioavailability for asiatic acid and asiaticoside was quite similar, about 600 ng.h/ml, in 12 healthy Rush 1993 Review finds that Centella asiatica is effective in venous insufficiency, reducing ankle edema, foot swelling, capillary filtration rate and improving microcirculatory parameters Cesarone 1992 High circulating endothelial cells in postphlebitic patients was brought down by C asiatica triterpenic fraction Montecchio 1991 Varicose vein patients taking 60 mg/day for three months had declines in serum uronic acid 467 to 231 mcg/ml, beta-glycuronidase 1.8 to 1.2 microM, acetylglucosaminidase 23 to 18, arysulfatase 78 to 42 nM Arpaia 1990 Four weeks of triterpene fraction decreased capillary filtration rate, ankle circumference and edema in patients with venous pressure greater than 42 mmH Belcaro 1990 Two weeks' treatment with total triterpenic fraction, 60 mg, tid, decreased wheal disappearance time, indicating decreased capillary filtration and permeability Belcaro 1990 Plasma levels in humans, measured by HPLC, are higher with continuing twice daily ingestion than single dose of 30 or 60 mg of triterpenic fraction of Centella Grimaldi 1990 Titrated extract reduced symptoms of heaviness in the lower limbs and edema and improved venous distensibility in a double-blind randomized trial with 94 patients with venous insufficiency Pointel 1987 Observational Studies/Case Reports Scleroderma patients benefited from madecassol, which contains asiaticoside [Article in Russian] Guseva 1998 Iron absorption i |

This is Frontier's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. Native Americans also use Sheep Sorrel leaves as a tasty seasoning for meat dishes and baked it into their breads. A common summertime sight in the North American wild, Sorrel was used as a salad green. Mashed Sorrel leaves mixed with vinegar and sugar were popular as a greensauce with cold meat. The sharp taste, due to its oxalic acid and vitamin C content, led this herb to be used in folk medicine, mainly as a tea or decoction. Sorrel acts as a diuretic, antiscorbutic, and refrigerant. It is good for treating urinary problems. The herb relieves internal ulcers and, when applied externally, helps clear skin problems such as herpes, eczema and ringworm. Sheep Sorrel also contains silicon which aids the nervous system. Carotenoids, a component of Sheep Sorrel, are present at a concentration of approximately 8-12%. Beta carotene (a strong antioxidant member of the carotenoids) is converted to Vitamin A in the liver. Vitamin A has been shown to strengthen the immune system by aiding production of white blood cells. White blood cells are what attack many of the body's harmful intruders, including cancer. Sheep Sorrel is rich in Vitamin A, B complex, C, D, K, and E. Its minerals include significant levels of calcium, iron, magnesium, silicon, sulphur, zinc, maganese, iodine, and copper. Sheep Sorrel is also rich in chlorophyll, which increases oxygen content in the blood. Highlevels of blood oxygen can increase the body's action against many invasive conditions. Research at the Linus Pauling Institute and at M.D. Anderson Cancer Hospital has shown chlorophyll enhances the body's immunity against certain carcinogens and has been shown to strengthen the immune system. According to these studies, it appears to be effective against chromosome damage -- which is considered to be a precursor to cancer. Sheep Sorrel is also rich in potassium oxalate. It aids digestion, and has been reported to relieve stomach hemorrhage and jaundice. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'The whole herb is employed medicinally, in the fresh state. The action is diuretic, refrigerant and diaphoretic, and the juice extracted from the fresh plant is of use in urinary and kidney diseases.' |
