22.01.2022 Herbs that help you cope endure or adapt to stress are referred to as Adaptogens. They help the adrenals to respond to the three stages your body goes through when undergoing stress: (alarm reaction, resistance and exhaustion) Adaptogens don’t take away stress but they can improve the response to stress. ... Nature has given us some wonderful natural remedies which help us cope with our often stressful lives. They work really well but we also need to remember to address the root cause which is the lifestyle itself! That may mean getting more sleep, or undertaking relaxation activities, exercise or improving your diet etc. Herbal adaptogens are a core component of our herbal practice which work best when combined with supporting each person to get a handle on their life. Some of the the most popular adaptogens are: Korean ginseng: helps the body adapt to stress through regulation of the endocrine and immune systems via the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. Korean ginseng is most useful for short-term treatment of the effects, or anticipated effects, of stress and over a longer period to reduce the impact of the ageing process. Rhodiola: is known as the best herb for ‘21st century stress’ which manifests as fatigue, mental fog, trouble concentrating, low energy and mild depression. Reishi mushroom: is classed as one of the great original adaptogen medicines. Its reputation has even surpassed Korean ginseng as one of the most valuable herbs of the Orient. It is used for deficiency syndromes associated with tiredness and fatigue. Schizandra: is utilised for increasing resistance to disease and stress, increasing energy and increasing physical performance and endurance. Siberian ginseng: Extensive studies on Siberian ginseng contributed considerably to the beginning of an understanding of the adaptogenic response. Early Soviet studies on Siberian ginseng’s clinical effectiveness were conducted involving more than 2,200 people suffering from a wide variety of ailments. These studies showed measurable improvements or, in some cases, normalisation with few side effects. Withania: The findings of a recent single centre, prospective, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial suggest that withania improves an individual's resistance towards stress and therefore can be used safely as an adaptogen in adults who are under stress.
18.01.2022 Low vitamin D status linked to COVID-19 infection and mortality Highlights: A new study, published in the journal Aging Clinical and Experimental Research, has found an association between low average levels of vitamin D and COVID-19 mortality cases across Europe. Previous observational studies have reported an association between low levels of vitamin D and susceptibility to acute respiratory tract infections. Vitamin D influences the clinical course of patients with a respi...ratory infection, by up-regulating antimicrobial peptides and defensins that can lower viral replication rates and reducing concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines that produce inflammation. The current research compared average serum levels of vitamin D across 20 European countries with the rate of COVID-19 infection and mortality. The average amount of vitamin D in serum samples was (56 nmol/l), with serum values below 30 nmol/l deemed 'severely deficient'. Countries such as Spain and Italy, which were found to have lower than average vitamin D levels than most European countries, have experienced high COVID-19 mortality rates. The study reviewed existing demographic data and found worryingly low vitamin D levels in the elderly, the group with the highest risk for morbidity and mortality with SARS-CoV-2. Vitamin D status is known to deteriorate with age, due to decreased sun exposure and cutaneous synthesis. Institutionalised elderly are particularly vulnerable, with more than 75% being severely vitamin D deficient. While the cross-sectional study has several limitations, it highlights the need for studies investigating vitamin D status and disease severity in COVID-19 patients. Ilie, P. C., & Smith, L. (2019).

07.01.2022 Here's why Tinospora is included in my personal immune tonic this year and why It has become one of my favorite herbs for immunty and stress. Research is now repeatdedly confimring it's traditional use in restoring and nourishing all body tissues and enhancing resistance to stress. Tinospora is used to raise the body's defense via immune modulation during immune challenge and decline, particularly if there is bodily stress and debility. ... If that were not enough it also inhances detoxification (via supporting the liver), blood sugar regulation, antioxidant ativity and even cognitive support. Numerous clinical studies have shown significant efficacy in areas including conditions involving chronic immune compromise and need for liver support during treatment. It has even been shown to increase verbal IQ scores in school children, as well as an improvement in recurrent respiratory complaints, sore throat and enlarged tonsils and allergies. So basically if your immune system is being effected by feeling run down and under stress Tinospora could be a useful addition to your personal herbal formula. Thankyou to mehiherb for manufacturing a high quality herbal extract of this amazing herb and for their commitment to ongoing research and development.

02.01.2022 Yes, marshmallow plant was once used to make marshmallows. Those spongy sweet treats that are an essential ingredient to campfires and hot chocolate had their origins in the herbal world but modern day marshmallows no longer contain any part of marshmallow root. Marshmallow has a long history of use and Pliny, an ancient Roman scholar said, Whosoever shall take a spoonful of the Mallows shall that day be free from all diseases that may come to him, indicating how highly reg...arded the plant was in ancient times. Marshmallow is revered as a demulcent herb making it useful for soothing hot and inflamed tissues in the lungs, digestive and urinary systems. It has been traditionally used for the management of dry, irritated coughs and other respiratory problems and is a wonderful ally for the cold and flu season, especially for its ability to soothe an inflamed and sore throat. It frequently gets used for hot and painful urinary problems such as cystitis, kidney stones and urinary tract infections. A 2020 in vitro investigation indicated protective effects for marshmallow through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions. Macrophages are key components of the innate immune defense system and provide the first line of defence against mucosal invasive pathogens. Marshmallow treatment increased the viability of macrophages in human cells without affecting the cell number. In line with these findings marshmallow had positive effects on the viability of epithelial cells involved in the mucosal barrier. The findings show that marshmallow has antioxidant properties, stimulates antioxidant defence mechanisms and, thus, may protect against oxidative stress in macrophages.
