See book keywords and concepts |  Hawthorn berry versus Digitalis: it is important for us to understand the difference between hawthorn berry and digitalis, the commonly used synthetic derivative of the Digitalis perforia plant, in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Many of the undesirable properties of digitalis are antagonized by hawthorn. Further, hawthorn enhances pulse and positively potentiates the force of muscular contractions. Hawthorn differs from digitalis in that it lowers the blood pressure through vasodilatation, not through direct action on the heart. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Also, I like the sparkling waters like Calistoga, Crystal Geyser, and Talking Rain, which have a little natural flavoring added such as berry, lime, lemon, or orange. The carbonated waters are generally bubbly because of the addition of CO2, which is safe and easy for our bodies to handle. However, sugared sodas, such as colas, are carbonated with phosphoric acid, and excess phosphorous can have negative health effects. Phosphorous reduces calcium absorption into the bone and contributes to bone loss, which can lead to osteoporosis. | | The Juice Cleanse Program—Transition slowly by adding pureed fruit (or chew very thoroughly) such as applesauce, berry puree, and fruit smoothies into your plan. During this phase you can also start eating a variety of steamed vegetables, especially steamed greens, plus some light salads with olive oil and lemon or balsamic vinegar.
Again, remember to chew well. Start by adding small amounts of protein (protein powder) to the smoothies; this gets your digestive tract prepared for heavier foods. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Juniper berry Oil. Commercial oil of Juniper berries sold on the market is obtained chiefly from the ripe fruit. (Juniper berry oil must not be confused with Juniper wood oil, which must never be used internally.)
Medicinally, the oil of Juniper berries is regarded as a powerful remedy for ailing kidneys. In addition to relieving various types of kidney complaints and reducing bladder irritation, the oil reputedly tones up the entire urinary system. It is also said to increase the flow of urine and is therefore helpful as a stimulating diuretic in certain dropsical conditions. |

Citrus fruits should be avoided. Low-allergen protein supplements, e.g. Ultra Clear, Medi Pro Protein Powder, pure free-form amino acids, N Foods, or Vivonex, may be added after the third day. In addition, liberal amounts of pure water should be consumed throughout the day in order to dilute and flush out toxic substances.

See book keywords and concepts | | Medicinally, the Juniper berry is classed as a diuretic and carminative. The principal constituent in the Juniper berry is a volatile oil. It is the same aromatic oil that is released when Juniper remedies are prepared that gives the berries their effectiveness and healing qualities. It is also the same fragrant oil that evaporates into the air when the berries are placed on a hot stove.
(Clivers.) The medicinal action of Clivers is cited as diuretic, tonic, alterative, and aperient. It is reputed to be a helpful agent in conditions of the bladder and scalding urine.

See book keywords and concepts |  Diuretics rich in volatile oils, such as Juniperus communis (juniper berry), may be contraindicated in severe cases, as it can be irritating to the nephrons.
In addition, a number of demulcent diuretic remedies work well. It is difficult to say whether they act primarily as anti-inflammatory agents to reduce inflammation or as demulcents that soothe the surface of the cells. The best examples here are Zea mays (cornsilk), followed by Elymus repens (couch grass) and Althaea officinalis (marshmallow leaf). | | Hawthorn berry Conserve

See book keywords and concepts |  Chaste berry: This herb is supposed to stimulate the pituitary gland in the brain to increase levels of the female hormone luteinizing hormone (LH), and decrease another female hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). LH stimulates ovarian secretion of progesterone, so chaste berry might boost levels of this female hormone and help women with irregular periods. This herb also might stimulate the release of dopamine, which might lower levels of another hormone, prolactin, which is elevated in some PMS sufferers. | | Yogurt-blueberry-cereal sundae: Layer nonfat vanilla or lemon yogurt, fresh blueberries (or any fresh berry), and low-fat granola in a parfait glass.

See book keywords and concepts |  We like to use author-poet Wendell Berry's term 'solving for pattern' to describe our approach," Zenobia adds. To her, and to us, the phrase conveys the power of grasping the connections that create a pattern among seemingly disparate problems, and then solving the pattern, not the pieces.
To illustrate, Zenobia ticks off a list of seemingly disjointed problems: "Take the loss of urban-fringe family farms, like those in Sebastopol; take urban sprawl; take the epidemic of diabetes and childhood obesity; take the loss of our open space and our kids losing reverence for nature. Solve for pattern. |

Pepper is the small berry of a tropical vining shrub from the Malabar coast of India that for over three thousand years has been the world's most important spice. Possibly the earliest spice known to humans, it was first cultivated probably around 1000 b.C.; a thousand years later it was carried by Hindu immigrants to Malaysia and Indonesia, where it was established in such places as Malacca, Sarawak, Java, Sumatra, and the Moluccas (Spice Islands). Pepper was the spice pat excellence of the classical world and was well known in Greece by the fifth century b.C. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Originally called star fruit because of the star shape at the blossom end of each berry, blueberries were used, among other things, as a preservative. Because of their high levels of antioxidants, the berries, when pounded into dried meat, slowed the rate of spoilage of the food. Early settlers learned from the Indians to use blueberries for medicinal purposes: they brewed the berries as well as the entire plant to make medicines to treat diarrhea and to ease the discomfort of childbirth.
I think of the polyphenols in berries as the choir directors. |
