Boswellia

60 vegetarian capsules per bottle 500 mg. each

Indications:

a. bursitis
b. osteoarthritis
c. rheumatoid arthritis
d. ulcerative colitis

Historical or traditional use:

In the ancient Ayurvedic medical texts of India, the gummy exudate from boswellia is grouped with other gum resins and referred to collectively as guggals. Historically, the guggals were recommended for a variety of conditions including arthritis, diarrhea, dysentery, pulmonary disease, and ringworm.

The gum oleoresin consists of essential oils, gum, and terpenoids. The terpenoid portion contains the boswellic acids that have been shown to be the active constituents in boswellia. Today, extracts are typically standardized to contain 37.5-65% boswellic acids.

Studies have shown that the boswellic acids have an anti-inflammatory action-much like the conventional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used by many for inflammatory conditions. Boswellia inhibits pro-inflammatory mediators in the body, such as leukotrienes.2 As opposed to NSAIDs, long-term use of boswellia does not lead to irritation or ulceration of the stomach.

How much should I take? The standardized extract of the gum oleoresin of boswellia is recommended. For rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis, many people take 150 mg three times per day. As an example, if an extract contains 37.5% boswellic acids, 400 mg of the extract should be taken three times per day. Treatment with boswellia generally lasts eight to 12 weeks.

Comments:

Boswellia is the premier Ayurvedic herb to help the body deals with all sorts of inflamatory issues. The Latin name is Salai Guggul. It is an Ayurvedic herb that contains anti-inflammatory triterpenoids called boswellic acid. Boswellic acid and its derivatives have anti-carcinogenic, anti-tumor, and anti-hyperlipidemic activities. Boswellic acids are effective anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic agents, for both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, soft tissue rheumatism, and low back pain. Boswellia helps ease osteoarthritis and rheumatoid problems. It has been shown to lessen morning stiffness and increase joint mobility. Boswellia Serrata's anti-inflammatory properties can help to reduce aching and stiffness, especially when associated with low back pain.. Boswellia is also known to help control certain inflammatory bowel diseases. It appears to reduce the inflammation associated with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, both painful intestinal disorders. It works very well yet avoids all of the irritation associated with many conventional pain relievers. Boswellia is believed to suppress the proliferating tissue found in the inflammed areas and also prevents the breakdown of connective tissue. The mechanism is similar to the action of non-steroidal groups of anti-arthritic drugs with no side effects, gastric irritation and ulcerogenic activity. . Many studies conducted have confirmed that Boswellia Serrata has potent anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic activity. Boswellia was found to improve blood supply to the joints and restore integrity of vessels weakened by spasm. Boswellia Serrata may also be useful for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with no side effects as those seen with traditional drugs of choice.

Ashwagandha is sometimes referred to as the Indian Ginseng.

It is commonly used as an aphrodisiac and helps prevent male sterility. Loosely translated it means the "strength of 10 horses". Ashwagandha helps the body adapt to stress, but it also rebuilds the nervous system without stimulating it. Recent research points out that Ashwagandha may be the best herb to take for the support of adrenal exhaustion. Many people suffer from adrenal exhaustion and are misdiagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or simply walk out of the doctors office without any clear idea as to why they feel so fatigued and stressed all of the time. Caffeine, nicotine, processed foods and processed sugar take their toll on the Adrenal glands and leave the victim fatigued, depressed and often bewildered as to what to do with themselves. Ashwagandha helps the Adrenals recover quickly to a balanced state assuming the offending bad habits are stopped.

Ashwagandha is specifically used for a wide range of conditions including arthritic inflammation, anxiety, insomnia, respiratory disorders including emphysema, asthma bronchitis and coughs, nervous disorders, gynecological disorders, especially female and male infertility and impotence.

Shilajit Plus

60 vegetarian capsules per bottle 500 mg. each

Source:

Shilajit is obtained from rocks in the Himalayan region. It is a form of mineral that drips from the cracks of the rocks during hot weather. It is the decomposition of plant matter in the rocks from thousands and ten of thousands of years in the past. The bio transformed plant matter is extruded from the rocks by geothermal pressures. It is collected in raw form for further purification. Walking high in the Himalayan Mountains, a thick rich paste oozing out from the rocks in the towering cliffs is Shilajit. It increases the core energy responsible for sexual and spiritual power, the same force that is withered by stress and anxiety. Shilajit is well known for renewing vitality.

Indications:

Our health is more dependent on minerals than on protein, carbohydrates or vitamins. Minerals are on every cell of the body and are vital for our overall mental and physical well being. The body cannot manufacture any minerals. They must be obtained via diet. Due to depletion of minerals in the soil and in order to get enough minerals from the typical diet, we would have to eat more than we could possibly want to. The majority of the population is deficient in the 84 minerals required by the body and mind. The inevitable result is reduced health and longevity.

The ancient medical literature attributes many health benefits to Shilajit known as the destroyer of weakness. Shilajit has been used historically for general physical strengthening, anti-aging, blood sugar stabilization, libido enhancement, injury healing, urinary tract rejuvenation, enhanced brain function, bone healing, kidney rejuvenation, immune system strengthening, arthritis, hypertension, obesity and many other applications for numerous conditions.

Traditionally Shilajit was designed for countering Diabetes, regulating the blood sugar level, improving pancreas function, purifying the blood, improving spleen function, strengthening digestion, improving metabolism, reducing fat, dissolving tumors, reducing tiredness, counteracting thirst, as a powerful rejuvenator, and as a sexual enhancer

Chemistry:

The porous fulvic acid and humic acids in Shilajit carry herbal compounds deeply into the tissues of the body. These porous carrying cavities also hook toxins and escort them out of the body.

Traditional Uses:

Analysis of Shilajit reveals that it is high in naturally occurring minerals and elements. Shilajit is Mother Nature's original organic Colloidal multi-mineral supplement with self assimilation qualities as compared to inorganic colloidal sources. And yet Shilajit is much more than colloidal minerals. It has unique properties not found in any other natural preparation. There is a folk saying by the indigenous people who live in the Himalayan region that Shilajit makes the body strong as a rock and there some rock-like qualities in Shilajit. There is hardly a disease that cannot be cured or least helped by Shilajit.

Shilajit amplifies the benefits of other herbs by enhancing their bio-availability. It helps transport nutrients deep into the tissue and removes deep-seated toxins. Shilajit improves memory and the ability to handle stress. Shilajit reduces recovery time in muscle, bone and nerve injuries. Shilajit stimulates the immune system and reduces chronic fatigue. It is an adaptogen, (Rasayna), that helps to combat immune disorders, urinary tract disorders, nervous disorders and sexual dissatisfaction. It promotes strong bones and heals damaged muscle tissues, and osteoarthritis.

In Sanskrit Shilajit means "conqueror of mountains & destroyer of weakness". It is used in Ayurveda as an herbal rejuvenator, nervine tonic and natural stimulator. It has been shown to be a natural antioxidant and rejuvenator for the nervous system. It is a natural antioxidant and rejuvenative for the nervous system. There are very few herbs that are classified as a panacea but Shilajit is one of them. It will help carry the other herbal support into the deep tissues of the body. This is why is works so well on diabetes and insulin resistance - because it carries the blood sugar into the resistant cells. In the same way it helps to rejuvenate the body and nervous system on a very deep level. It is not a stimulant to make you feel more energy - it actually helps to rebuild the nervous system.
