Patients in the 19th century expected harsh side effects from medical treatments: the more violent the effect, the more certain the patient and the doctor of a cure. Alternative medicine, particularly homeopathy, introduced the novel idea that healing didn’t have to hurt to be effective.

Homeopathy presented the biggest and most organized challenge to mainstream medical care in the 19th century. By 1898, homeopaths had 9 national and 33 state medical societies, 140 hospitals, 20 medical colleges, and 31 medical journals.

The idea of the brain as an organ divided into parts with different motor and sensory functions was popularized by phrenologist Franz Joseph Gall in the 18th century. Although the phrenological idea of reading personality on the bumps of your head was wrong (and totally weird), Gall’s fundamental idea of various brain functions being located in specific areas of the brain ultimately proved correct. Way to go FJ!

Blue Cohosh Root - Uses and Benefits

Blue cohosh was once used extensively as a medicinal herb by several native American tribes, and many of the herb’s uses were soon adopted by the European settlers.

It was primarily used for ailments related to women’s health, especially during labor and birth. The herb was used to reinforce contractions and restore or speed up slow labor due to lack of muscle strength in the womb.

It was also considered to have relaxing effect during labor and to relieve anxiety and pain during pregnancy.

Current application of blue cohosh as herbal medicine does not differ significantly from the traditional use.

The herb is still considered by some herbalists and midwives as a tonic for the womb and a remedy that can relieve pain in the uterus and fallopian tubes.

Herbal Treatment Options for Adrenal Fatigue

Adrenal fatigue is a condition that has been covered in medical literature for over 100 years. In recent years, however, the prevalence of adrenal fatigue has increased.

A condition that occurs as a result of stress over prolonged periods, adrenal fatigue has symptoms that may feel similar to chronic fatigue, but it cannot be healed with sleep and rest alone.

The common symptoms associated with adrenal fatigue include feeling lethargic, a general feeling of being unwell, tiredness where you may feel “wired,” and poor sleep quality.

While plants and herbs can help to treat adrenal fatigue, these need to form part of an overall healthy lifestyle with quality food, exercise, and adequate sleep.

The Amazing Artichoke - Uses and Benefits

The artichoke plant as it is known today is a cultivated form that probably derived from the artichoke thistle or the cardoon (Cynara cardunculus).

The Ancient Romans and Greeks knew the plant and cultivated it as a food crop in southern parts of Europe for centuries. It is believed that both the cardoon and the artichoke originated in Morocco or the Canary Islands.

Today, it’s an important vegetable and is grown on a large scale in many areas of the world with temperate or subtropical climate, particularly in France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, and California in the United States

The herb is often used internally as a tea or in tablet or capsule form to treat liver and gallbladder diseases such as liver damage, cirrhosis, hepatitis, and jaundice.

Asafetida - Spice with Interesting Uses

The scientific species name assa-foetida is composed of the Persian word aza meaning “resin” and the Latin word foetidus meaning “smelly” referring to the plant’s rather strong and unpleasant odor.

At the time of the Roman Empire asafetida was a popular seasoning and the Romans referred to it as “food of the gods.”

For centuries the plant was imported from countries around the Persian Gulf to Europe.

In the Middle Ages, asafetida was used both as spice and medicine across Europe.

In Chinese herbal medicine, asafetida has been used since 600 AD mainly as a nerve stimulant in the treatment of neurasthenia (nerve weakness).

The herb is also widely used in traditional Indian medicine (Ayurveda) as a brain stimulating herb.

Herbs with the Most Promising Supportive Information for Treating Dementia

t the moment, there is no cure for dementia. Still, there are few conventional medicines that are known to slow the progression of the disease.

Medicinal herbs intended as a treatment should never replace any conventional medication or therapies and should be regarded as an addition or as a supportive therapy.

A large number of patients in the developing world with dementia, where the use of herbal medicines are often the mainstay of therapy, coupled to a global upswing in the use of natural preparations, underscores the need to fully characterize and understand how medicinal herbs can be used in the management of dementia.

While the effects of these natural remedies are varied, it appears that herbs may be useful in the treatment of dementia in three separate ways:

1. Increasing blood flow to the brain.

2. Decreasing the destruction of neurotransmitters critical to proper brain function.

3. Decreasing the level of agitation known to accompany dementia.

In general, when using medicinal plants as a treatment for any disease, caution should always be a key factor, since herbs can interact with other herbs, medications or supplements.

Herbs for Panic Attacks or Panic Disorder Medicinal herbs for panic disorder or attacks and anxiety Herbs for Panic Attacks or Panic Disorder Medicinal herbs for panic disorder or attacks and anxiety

Herbs for Panic Attacks or Panic Disorder

Medicinal herbs for panic disorder or attacks and anxiety are usually not sufficient treatment on their own.

Where herbal medicines can be useful is in lessening the severity of the person’s underlying anxiety and nervousness, thus lessening the frequency and severity of the panic attacks.

These medicinal herbs are either sedatives or tranquilizers (also known as anxiolytic agents) and are either used on a regular basis to reduce the overall feeling of anxiety or sometimes during the actual panic attack if it is prolonged.

Traditionally there has not been much distinction made between tranquilizers and sedatives.

However, pharmacologists have in recent years begun to identify the specific chemical action of these drugs and thus separate out the anxiolytic action from the sedative action.

Horse Chestnut – Uses and Benefits

Although the leaves, bark, and flowers have been used in traditional herbal medicine, it is the big, shiny brown nut of the horse chestnut tree which is of greatest medicinal interest.

From them, an extract is obtained which is used to strengthen the walls of the blood vessels so that blood flow from the veins in the legs back to the heart improves.

The dried conkers contain 3-6% of a mixture of triterpene saponins, known by the common name aescin (escin).

It is aescin which is considered the main active ingredient responsible for the strengthening effect on the veins and capillaries.

Standardized extracts made from the conkers usually have much higher concentrations of aescin (usually 16-20%) than the conkers do in their natural state.
