Cure Cancer with Mint Leaves

Mint is a fragrant herb that contains important ingredient with potential capability to cure cancer. As a matter of fact, mint has become important medicinally due to its ingredients, which promote digestion by stimulating the flow of bile to your stomach. Mint has been called “the plant of happiness” for a good reason.

But can mint leaves really cure cancer? It is still a controversy among research scientist.

In 2004, researchers in the United Kingdom found that an extract in the leaves of mint can combat cancer. This groundbreaking medical discovery initiated the developing of drugs to see if mint can fight human breast and lung cancers. Research is still ongoing.

The important finding is that mint herb has the medicinal potential of destroying only those blood vessels that promote the growth of cancerous cells, but without damaging the blood vessels of normal cells. This selective targeting of cancerous cells may be a groundbreaking discovery for scientists to use mint leaves to target cancerous cells without damaging normal cells. Conventional cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, are invasive in that they indiscriminately target both cancerous and normal cells.

According to researchers from the Paterson Institute for Cancer Research of the United Kingdom, the extract (scutellaria barbata) from mint leaves has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries to treat tumors..

Tips on Buying Ginseng

Ginseng is readily available in drug and health food stores all over the United States. However, finding the right ginseng may be challenging.

How to buy your ginseng

You need to determine the type of ginseng: American, Chinese, Japanese, or Korean?

You need to decide on the form of ginseng: root, tablet, powder, or tincture?

You need to know what you are getting for the money you pay: the quality or the grade.

Asian ginseng is the classical ginseng, which is most effective as a restorative tonic for long-term health and wellness: it regulates blood pressure, enhances mental health, control diabetes, suppresses stress, and counteracts alcohol and drugs. Asian ginseng is anti-aging.

American ginseng balances the body metabolism and reduces stress. American ginseng does not have the reputation for revitalizing the body and enhancing overall health and wellness as the Asian counterpart does.

Korean ginseng is well regulated by the government, so the quality is comparable to that of Chinese ginseng. The best Korean ginseng is red ginseng.

Japanese ginseng is of average quality compared to that of Chinese and Korean ginseng.

When you buy ginseng, consider the following:

Age: The older the root of the ginseng at the time of harvest, the more expensive it is. The age can range from 6 to 12 years. Anything younger than 4 years is not recommended. Ginsenosides, the most important ingredient in ginseng, are accumulated in the root over time. The age of the root is determined by the number of ridges or scars in the root.

Color: Only better-quality ginseng roots are selected for steaming to enhance the medicinal value of the roots. When they are steamed, the color turns from white or pale yellow to reddish.

Texture: Good-quality ginseng is hard and brittle, and the texture is dense.

Taste: Ginseng has a bitter, robust taste, with a tinge of sweetness.

Shape: A good ginseng root has the shape of a man: straight with intertwined rootlets or branches. Curled roots are inferior in quality.

The first choice in buying ginseng is to buy the whole root. Other than that, you can get standardized ginseng extract in tablets, capsules, or tinctures. Standardization is a way of processing ginseng that guarantees a certain fixed amount of ginsenosides in every dose. Buy products with concentrations of 4 to 7 percent of ginsenosides.  Tinctures are concentrated alcohol extracts, and therefore are readily absorbed by the body.

Remember, getting top-quality ginseng makes you younger and healthier for longer.

Sex and Ginseng - Making You Younger and Healthier for Longer

Good sex holds the key to your longevity health. Sex makes you younger and healthier for longer. Ginseng is known and valued as an aphrodisiac and sexual aid in many different cultures worldwide.

According to ancient Chinese herbal medicine, any plant that looked like a part of your body would have the healing power for that body part. In this respect, ginseng resembles a human form, with arms, legs, and even the phallic parts. For this reason, the Chinese have long considered ginseng as a potent plant for enhancing sexual desire and maintaining sexual health.

However, it should be mentioned that the Chinese focus more on the tonic quality of ginseng in enhancing overall energy, including sexual energy, rather than viewing ginseng as an aphrodisiac.

Science says that ginseng may not stimulate sexual performance or solve your erectile problems, except in a psychological manner. But sex is something in the mind and of the mind. If one believes that ginseng enhances sexual performance, then it probably will because confidence may boost one’s virility and enhance one’s sexual responses.

In several scientific studies, ginseng demonstrated its capability to accelerate the development of sex organs in mice; that is, mice given ginseng reached puberty much faster and their prostate glands were 50 percent larger than those untreated with ginseng. The fact is that ginseng contains compounds with sex hormone activity that may delay the decline of male sex hormones due to age. Ginseng is anti-aging.

So, even if ginseng does not literally increase your sex drive, it definitely increases your overall energy and wellness, which are important to your sexual health.

Ginseng - A Potent Short-Term Stimulant and Energizer

Ginseng is the essence of health. According to Chinese medicine, it brightens your eyes, opens your heart, enlightens your brain, and strengthens your soul and spirit. For centuries, ginseng has been present in many classical prescriptions for adjustive, preventive, and restorative purposes. More specifically, it has been used as a potent stimulant

Chinese soldiers used to carry ginseng to the battlefield, using it not only to restore strength, but also to ameliorate the effects of shock and stress.

 Soviet astronauts considered ginseng a better stimulant than the amphetamines used by the American counterparts in space expedition, because ginseng enhances performance without the hangover effects of amphetamines. 

 Soviet coaches and trainers have long used ginseng to enhance the performance of athletes in training, even for Olympic games. The Chinese even purportedly used runners to determine the quality of ginseng by asking two men to run a race biting a piece of ginger root in the mouth, and the one who did not display any body fatigue would attest to the authenticity of the ginseng root.  Similar studies were conducted in the Soviet Union and other countries worldwide to confirm the potency of ginseng as a short-term stimulant.

 It is quite common practice for Chinese to give ginseng root to those on their deathbed to provide adequate strength to be able to receive their family and arrange their after-death affairs before dying.

 Ginseng is a potent short-term stimulant that does no harm. It stimulates your nervous system and increases your reflex.
