 Cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and clove are used together as a tea to telieve cough and congestion and to promote digestion. Cinnamon contains a substance that kills various fungi, bacteria and other microorganisms, including Staphylococcus aureas (staph infections), Clostridium hotu-linum (botulism), Aspergillus parasiticus (many molds), and A. flavus (which produces the poison aflatoxin). Cinnamon bark oil, produced in Sri Lanka for over two thousand years, is one of the most antimicrobial essential oils. |

 Lemon juice, wheat grass, or a little ginger or garlic juice can be added to drinks for vitality and to stimulate cleansing.
Water and other liquids increase waste elimination. Lemon tends to loosen and draw out mucus and is especially useful for liver cleansing. Diluted lemon juice with or without a little honey or the Master Cleanser lemonade loosens mucus quickly, so if this is used we need to cleanse the bowels regularly to prevent getting sick. Most vegetable juices are milder than lemon juice. |

 For herbs, consider bromelain, ginger (with most meals), ginkgo biloba, and green tea; also helpful are digestive enzymes high in lipase. additional therapies: Remove any dead teeth and make sure there is no chronic jawbone infection in the wisdom tooth positions. Get regular exercise; have alternating hot and cold showers; and do skin brushing. Frequently press into the fleshy pad below the left thumb; pressing strongly here during a heart attack can allegedly stop the attack. |
| With ulcers and irritable bowel (Crohn's disease), try slippery elm powder before meals; meals with arrowroot can be soothing; and use ginger root often with meals. Goldenseal and chamomile are useful as they are anti-inflammatory Try glutamine and zinc sulfate with meals (200 mg/day); also copper salicylate, herbal parasite cure, oxygen therapy, and colloidal silver. Magnesium is best taken as magnesium chloride; take also high-quality aloe vera juice.
Use the magnetic pulser and south pole of a strong magnet on sites of inflammation or discomfort. |
| Especially strong with antiinflammatory properties are goldenseal, slippery elm powder, and ginger, also devil's claw, ginseng, gotu kola, pau d'arco, and sage. Try suitable Bach Flower Remedies; do the herbal parasite therapy and follow protocols in Intestinal Sanitation (see step 3). additional therapies: Try a strong antimicrobial therapy with electronic zapper, magnetic pulser, colloidal silver, and oxygen therapy. Also useful are spinal massage, tapping, and adjustment; deep muscle massage; frequent castor-oil packs on abdomen and lower back. |
| A good anti-inflammatory herb for everyday food flavoring is ginger root.
For good heart health, avoid highly heated fatty and oily foods, especially if heated with access to air, as in frying. Not only are heated animal fats harmful when they form oxy-cholesterol, but so are oxidized and peroxi-dized polyunsaturated oils. Use vegetable oils that have not been heated to more than 120° F. Generally, I trust only high-quality linseed oil and extra-virgin olive oil to have retained their lipase. |
| Flavor with any combination of the following: miso, soy sauce, fresh parsley, coriander, cumin, fresh ginger, onion, and any other herbs or spices. Form flat burgers and bake crisp in a grill or a nonstick pan.

 It has been shown that ginger counters the formation of pro-inflammatory substances such as leukotrienes and certain prostaglandins.24
I use a product that is standardized at 20 percent for gingerols and shogaols. If a product is not standardized, it is probably of inferior quality and will not work as well.

Ginkgo Biloba. Ginkgo improves circulation to microcapillaries to carry vital nutrients and oxygen to all tissues of the brain and heart. It works to prevent strokes, and is also prescribed for stroke survivors. It's yet another free-radical fighter.
Ginseng. A Chinese symbol of longevity, ginseng is considered a rejuvenation herb. Research shows that ginseng is an antioxidant that slows the free radical damage of aging. It promotes better focus under stress, and boosts energy levels.

 This shampoo is not recommended.
© Knot Free Shampoo ($11 for 8.5 ounces) contains TEA-lauryl sulfate as one of its main detergent cleansing agents, along with essential oils of peppermint and lemon, which makes this a drying, irritating problem shampoo for all hair and scalp types.
What's Not So Good About It: The prices are rather high; the thymus extract in these products has no benefit for hair beyond that of a water-binding agent.
© Moisturizing Shampoo ($12 for 8.5 ounces) is a very standard shampoo that can be a great option for all hair types, and it poses minimal risk of buildup. |

 I Acrid bitters such as ginger and galangal.
Besides their action on the digestive glands, bitter principles act reflexively on the cardiovascular system, causing a decrease in heart rate and cardiac stroke volume (Table 5.2). Taking bitters for several weeks can engender an aversion to certain bitter herbs, accompanied by loss of appetite. Bitters, then, differ from other dyspeptics (Sect. 5.2) in that they are generally used for a shorter period of time. The taste of bitter herbs cannot be corrected with raw sugar or other sweeteners. |

| For circulatory system help, the following apply: Ginkgo biloba, gotu kola, hawthorn berry, vitamin E, cayenne pepper, ginger, marjoram, and garlic. Bilberry is an extremely important nutrient, a superstar for the eyes. Pine bark extract and grape seed extract (generally between 100 to 500 mg a day) are also good because they fortify the capillaries that furnish the eyes with fluid, and aid in the prevention of lens impairment. Two Chinese herbs useful for healing dry and inflamed eyes are daigaku eyedrops and shehu. |
| Some recommended herbs are boneset; boswellia (one of the best natural remedies for arthritis); burdock root, a great blood cleanser; cayenne pepper, long known for its antiarthritis power; devil's claw, which we've already mentioned as a uric-acid fighter and thus one of the best herbs to help our joints; stinging nettle; prickly ash bark; white willow bark; yucca; garlic; sea cucumber; ginger, as we've mentioned; buchu leaf; and turmeric. Use these all as directed. |

 Japan has more than 3,000 McDonald's franchises serving rice dishes and a fried chicken sandwich with soy sauce and ginger. Thai customers order Samurai Pork Burgers, a teriyaki-spiced sandwich that may have contributed to the chain's 10 to 15 percent increase in expansion in 1999 alone. Hong Kong has 158 franchises, which is one restaurant for every 42,000 residents, not far from the U.S. number, which approaches one restaurant for every 30,000 Americans.23

| I would also suggest stinging nettle, capsicum, ginger root, peppermint leaf, burdock root, dandelion root, grapefruit seed extract, and at least 6 oz of aloe vera consumed throughout the day. Make sure that you are getting 1 tsp of miso in soup daily.
One more strategy to knock out allergies: Look for a combination capsule with the following broad-spectrum nutrients: glucosamine sulfate, pantothenic acid, B complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, coenzyme Q10, glutathione, bromelain, quercetin, and garlic.

Three varieties of jujuba have been mentioned by Charaka—Badara, Kola (Kuvala) and Karkandhu (bearing big, medium and small fruits respectively). All the three were mentioned separately. Karkandhu was also known as Shragaala-Badari. Sinchitikaa-phala, another variety, was also mentioned. Sushruta mentioned five varieties— Badara, Kola, Karkandhu, Sauvira and Sinchitikaa-phala. |

 A delightful health drink which is easy to prepare in a Vita-Mix, calls for one-fourth cups fresh peaches and pears (cut into small pieces), a dash of powdered ginger, and one-half cup sugarfree ginger ale. Mix on medium or high speed for twenty seconds. Some people like to add half a cup of ice cubes, which is okay to do if the lungs aren't inflammed in any way. This mixture yields about one and one-half cups of a health drink that's sweet, creamy, and refreshing to the palate. |

| Mixed with a little ginger, leaf juice is given for colic in children, with black pepper (Piper nigrum) in catarrhal fever. Fresh juice is given for checking vomiting. Leaves, ground with water, are applied on bad boils, mosquito bites, and urticaria. A paste of fresh leaves, mixed with lemon juice, is applied on eczema, ringworm and other skin diseases. Dried leaves are used as snuff in myiosis and ozoena. Leaf juice is taken as a prophylactic during epidemics, as an adaptogen and internal antiseptic. |

Zedoary is used in much the same way as ginger (Zingiber officinale) to relieve indigestion, nausea, flatulence and to promote appetite.
The extracts of the drug are contained in numerous combinations for gastrointestinal indications and as cholagogues.
The rhizome is used in China to treat certain types of tumours. A few trials showed that zedoary reduced cervical cancer and increased the cancer-killing effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
