CINNAMON, CLEAVERS & COLTSFOOT USE AS HERBS

Common name: CINNAMON

Botanical name: CINNAMOMUM ZEYLANICUM

Family: LAURACEAE

Part used: Dried barks,sections of which become curled at the edges and thus known as' quills'

Constituents and uses: A most pleasant and gentle carminative, anti- griping, anti- flatuent remedy due to its volatile oils. It helps to prevent uncomfortable 'bloating', is useful against nausea and, due to the tannins it contains, has a mild anti- diarrhoea action. Finely divided pieces of bark can be taken as an infusion. It can be added freely to other herbal preparations to improve the taste. It is best taken before or after meals to aid digestion.


Common name: CLEAVERS

Alternative common name(s): GOOSEGRASS

Botanical name: GALIUM APARINE

Family: RUBIACEAE

Part used: Leaves and stems

Constituents and uses: This plant helps stimulate the expulsion of fluid via the kidneys, so is useful for urinary problems. It is also one of the main remedies for treating problems associated with swelling of the lymph glands. These are frequently activated in localised infections and may be noticed as small hard swellings, such as in the neck in a case of tonsillitis(the tonsils themselves are lymphatic tissue). The lymph glands basically 'trap' infections and prevent them from being passed to further areas of the body. In a long- term lymphatic disturbance, fluid retention may develop, and cleavers will be doubly useful then due to its diuretic properties. It is a good 'cleansing' remedy generally and is applicable to a wide range of illnesses where this action is required.
It should be taken as an infusion, 3 times daily.


Common name: COLTSFOOT

Botanical name: TUSSILAGO FARFERA

Family: COMPOSITAE

Part used: Flowers and leaves

Constituents and uses: Unlike many of the expectorant remedies which have an irritating effect, Coltsfoot helps to ease the irritation and tightness connected with chest infections where there is particularly a dry, unproductive cough - typically the 'barking' cough. This can be paion rats cause nful and persistent and responds better to Coltsfoot than practically any other remedy.children who are kept awake at night by a persistent cough are usually greatly helped by it. It contains bitters, glycosides and a generous amount of the mineral zinc. It is thought that this may well contribute to the plant's beneficial properties as it seems to be vital in the body's defences against infection.

An infusion of either the flowers or the leaves should be taken 3 times a day.

CAUTION: Recent research has shown the presence of to alkaloids in the young flower which when tested on rats caused liver cancer. Although these compounds exist in low concentration in the flower and leaves, any prolonged medically  use in not advised. Coltsfoot is an ingredient of some herbal tobaccos. These should be avoided as should all some king.

  2. “I glanced at these posts and wished to share my experience using natural herbal medicine and a lifestyle change.

    As an ICU nurse with an amazing 38years old career, I know what a medical miracle is. For no reason, I have never liked herbal medicines until I witnessed a confirmed HIV positive patient test result reversed to HIV negative after conducting more tests on him which all came back HIV negative.

    Back then many experts who saw the test results gave different suggestions to their best understanding and why it was possible or impossible. But to me, it was nothing more than a medical miracle.

    I scrutinized him and found out he has been cured with herbal medicine which a physician have prepared for him.

    I also suffered from GENITAL HERPES back then which was the primary reason that has made me remain single and my biggest secret that has made me understand life in the best way I should.

    Through this abovementioned person who had been cured of HIV, I contacted this physician who permanently cured me GENITAL HERPES with herbal medicine and also cured a PSORIASIS patient with herbal medicine through me, and in all these tribulations and recovery phases, we conquered.

    The good news is that this physician is available on:
