Just be sure that the berry remedy you use does not contain seeds, or else it will have the opposite effect and act like a bulk laxative! (Commercial syrups and jellies do not have seeds in them. And if you are making your own, you should use a seed sieve, which is available at any store that specializes in jelly-making equipment.) Chamomile, fenugreek and meadowsweet also stop light cases of diarrhea. Even more important, they tone the intestine and reduce the pain and inflammation that sometimes accompany diarrhea.

In New York state vineyards, Cornell University entomologists have found that placing small amounts of pheromones per acre in the spring can provide excellent control of the grape berry moth throughout the summer. Pheromones have the potential to replace up to 1,000 tons of chemical pesticides in New York vineyards each year. Pheromones work not because they are toxic to the target insect but because they disrupt the reproductive cycle. They are naturally produced by insects, can be added by farmers, dissipate rapidly in the environment, and leave no harmful residues on crops.

Whereas in central Mexico the common name cocolmeca refers to a Smilax species, in northern Mexico cocolmeca is a Phaseolus species (Nabhan, berry, and Weber 1980). Thus the cocolmecate described in the eighteenth century by Tamayo (1784) in Arivechi and Nentuig for the Opata is likely to be a Phaseolus. Tamayo said the root should be cooked to make a purge for "cold in the bones" and also for women with "detained" blood. Nentuig ([1764] 1977) said that the root "restores menstrual blood" and is good for stomachache. Modern Use. The Mountain Pima make a wash of P.

Treatment • Since Vitex (chaste berry) enhances progesterone production, it can aggravate spasmodic dysmenorrhoea and should not be used. However, if a woman with spasmodic dysmenorrhoea also suffers from PMS with congestive symptoms, e.g. breast tenderness, Vitex will help both disorders when used in the long term. • Herbs which support oestrogen function in the body (they may not be intrinsically oestrogenic themselves) are indicated and include Chamaelirium luteum (helonias root) and Dioscorea (wild yam). These herbs will help long term.

Each little fruit contains the pigment anthocyanin, which gives the berry its blue color — kind of like dye you can eat. But anthocyanin is also a potent antioxidant that hunts down and destroys free radicals. Scientists at the USDA-ARS Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging recently came up with a way to measure the total amount of antioxidants in foods. Blueberries scored near the top of their list. They discovered blueberries are so full of goodness that a half cup serving has the same amount of antioxidants as five servings of foods like peas, carrots, apples, squash, or broccoli.

That's more than all other foods on the planet — except the even rarer camu-camu berry. It's no wonder you'll find acerola in natural vitamin C supplements, beauty products, and juice drinks. Unfortunately, the whole fruit is harder to come by, mainly because it doesn't travel well. If you leave it out for only a few hours, it will begin to spoil. The acerola grows in warm climates from southern Texas and California, through Mexico and the Caribbean, and down into South America.

Saw palmetto extract (Serenoa repens) The saw palmetto berry can be found in health food stores and has been used in France under the name Permixon since 1982. Studies have shown it to be a valuable nutritional supplement for BPH and prostatitis with no significant side effects. Its effectiveness is in limiting the conversion of testosterone to DHT. The British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology reported that Saw palmetto contains sterol-like compounds that inhibit the formation of DHT, which contributes to an enlarged prostate. Instead of being used by the body, DHT is broken down and excreted.
