Herbs for Colds and Flu
One can be in normal physical health but feel a little run
down or stressed. In this run-down state viral or bacterial infections
can attack without warning. Vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements are of
great value in keeping up the energy level and strengthening the
immune system. However, it is important to see your doctor to rule out any
possibility of underlying disorders such as diabetes, blood disorders,
or other illnesses.
There are "good" bacteria that reside in our bodies and are
essential for good health. Antibiotics, even in natural forms, can
destroy these "good" bacteria as well as the bad bacteria. It is
always a good idea to replace these by eating yogurt or taking a
supplement containing active cultures of lactobacillus, which will aid
in digestion especially in cases of the flu, which attacks the
digestive system.
Herbal remedies such as Elder berries, Astragalus, Goldenseal, and Echinacea have been well established and used for hundreds of
years to help fight infections and the dreaded cold and flu viruses.
These and other herbs and now getting some well deserved attention
from the medical community. Modern medical research is now identifying
the constituents or chemical compounds in these plants that are
responsible for their healing and medicinal activities. This research
is proving the worth of herbs as valuable tools in the fight against
the yearly on slot of new and resistant strains of cold and flu
viruses.
Boosting your immune system will help with everything from the
common colds and flu to arthritis or even cancer. Avoiding excess
stress is helpful as it can further compromise your immune system.
Elderberry and Echinacea are both very good immuno-stimulant.
The elderberry is the berry of the black elder tree (Sambucus
nigra), which originated in Europe. Elderberry strengthens the immune
and respiratory systems. It is also a rich source of nutrients,
especially Bioflavonoids which provide antioxidants and are a
significant source of vitamins A, B and C. Elderberry is antiviral,
anti-inflammatory, diaphoretic, diuretic and expectorant, making it
very effective in the treatment of colds and flu. Research has shown
that elderberry interferes with a viruses' ability to reproduce.
Echinacea is a mild natural antibiotic and it boosts body's
immune system. Scientific studies have confirmed the presents of
natural chemicals, echinacosides, which increase white blood cell
activity. Other valuable constituents include betaine, echinolone,
inulin, humulene, polysaccharides, two phytosterols and fatty acids,
oleic, cerotic, linolic and palmatic. Extracts of Echinacea were found
to enhance the cellular immune function of normal individuals and
patients with AIDS and chronic fatigue syndrome. Unlike antibiotics,
which directly kills bacteria, Echinacea makes our own immune cells
more efficient in attacking bacteria, viruses and abnormal cells.
Goldenseal is often used in combination with these and has
antibacterial properties. Studies indicate the presents of hydrastine,
berberine and canadine, which are showing, promise in fighting cancer
and other diseases. Goldenseal is a potent herb used for centuries for
disorders affecting mucous membranes and is valuable in fighting colds
and flu as well as sinus and lung congestion, sore throats, swollen
lymph nodes, and fever.
Astragalus has been used since ancient times in Traditional
Chinese Medicine. It is now known to stimulate the bodies natural
production of interferon. American Cancer Society has published
reports that astragalus restored immune functions in 90% of patients
studied and it bolsters the white blood cell count, strengthens the
body's resistance, and helps to improve digestion. Research has
isolated a number of active ingredients contained in astragalus,
including , choline, and a polysaccharide called astragalan B. Animal
studies have shown that astragalan B is effective at controlling
bacterial infections, stimulating the immune system, and protecting
the body against a number of toxins.

Introduction to Aromatherapy
You’ve had a long day and you’re tired. You want to relax and kick back now that you’re finally home. As you walk in the door, you catch a faint scent that makes you feel at ease. If you’re like most people, it’s likely a floral scent, or possibly a piney one. Florals, spices, and pine are popular fragrances for home deodorizers. Why?
What’s the scent that perks you up as you take a shower in the morning? Faintly spicy soap, crisply floral? It’s likely that you’ve chosen a particular scent in your soap or shampoo without even realizing what it was, but you do know that it makes you feel a particular way, and that is why you enjoy it.
Click here for a complete line of Aromatherapy Supplies, Essential Oils, Candles and more!
Medical research has only recently shown what aroma-therapists have known for ages: what we smell has a direct impact on how we feel. Like the other senses, what we smell is transmitted directly to the brain. Studies have shown that the aroma of lavender increases alpha waves in the back of the head, which is associated with relaxation. On the other hand, jasmine scent increases beta waves in the front of the head, which has been found to make you feel more alert.
The name of this art is something of a misnomer. The use of essential oils includes, but is not limited to, inhaling their scent. Aromatherapy is a system of caring for the body with botanical oils. Sometimes it is the scent that provides the therapeutic value, and other times it works better to take the essential oil internally or rub it on the skin. It depends on the nature and severity of the complaint. Regardless of how the oil is assumed into the body, whether through the skin, the mouth, or the nose, essential oils have long been used to aid in healing.
You can enjoy the benefits of scent by placing a few drops of essential oil in your bath, or placing a drop or so on a scent ring, which sits on a warm light bulb. There are also lamps and diffusers created specifically for aromatherapy. When using an oil topically, it is often a good idea to mix the essential oil with a carrier oil such as almond, sesame, or olive. This diffuses the impact of the oil somewhat, but can also prevent allergic reaction. Of course, you should always do a small skin test the first time you try something new. Just apply a small amount – about the size of a dime – to the inside of your arm and check it after 24 hours. If you have no reaction, you should be safe in using the oil elsewhere. As with many medications, more is not necessarily better. Essential Oils are strong, use essential oils sparingly and carefully to achieve the maximum benefit.
Here are some common ailments and suggestions for the use of essential oils in treating them. It would be a good idea to find an aroma-therapist to work with in your area so that you can have custom oils mixed properly to achieve the greatest benefit from them or you can purchase mixing bottles.
- Allergies: Try mixing one drop of cypress and one drop of hyssop* in the palm of your hand and then apply the mixture to the back of your tongue every few hours to relieve hay fever symptoms.
- Backache: Mix equal parts: blue chamomile; birch; rosemary or eucalyptus; ginger or black pepper; lavender; carrier oil. For example, two drops of each with ½ ounce of oil. Double the essentials, but not the carrier, for severe backache. Rub into the affected area after a hot bath, when muscles are relaxed and pores are open.
- Nausea or stomachache: Put two drops peppermint oil on a sugar cube and suck the cube slowly. Or, add a few drops of peppermint oil to hot water and drink as a tea.
- Headaches: Peppermint, inhaled directly from the bottle, used in a diffuser, or rubbed with a little carrier oil under the nose and at the temples can be very soothing for headaches.
- Cuts, scrapes & scratches: Lavender oil can be applied “neat” (undiluted) to soothe and help heal minor cuts and abrasions.
- Anxiety: Lavender, bergamot, melissa, geranium, and ylang-ylang are great for calming frazzled nerves. Even better is mixing three or four together. Add to a bath, use in a scent lamp, or massage into the skin with a carrier oil.
- Sleep aids: Marjoram*, lavender and ylang-ylang in a warm bath can be soothing before bedtime and help with sleep. Or, try putting a few drops each of lavender, marjoram*, chamomile, mugwort*, and rum on your pillow (or a special “sleep” pillow).
- Colds or flu: Blend three parts ravensare, one part naiouli or eucalyptus, one part lemon, one part rosewood, and one part lavender. Add about 50 drops of this mixture to a diffuser, or add 6-8 drops to a bowl of just boiled water, place a towel over your head, bend over the bowl and inhale.
- Stress: Lavender and sage* are very relaxing (the florals and pines we love so!). If you have a long commute, place a few drops of each on a tissue and leave on the dashboard so the sun can warm it and diffuse it into the air of the car. By the time you get home, you should feel much better!
- Arthritis: Add 10 drops each of rosemary and chamomile to a warm bath and soak for 10 minutes.
There are many other essential oils, for treating everything from acne to high blood pressure to depression. Most oils are not harmful if inhaled, but some caution should be used before applying topically, and do not take any essential oil internally without the advice of a skilled professional.
*A special warning for pregnant women: Calamus, mugwort, pennyroyal, sage and wintergreen can induce miscarriage when taken internally, but even using them externally or inhaling them is strongly discouraged during pregnancy. Basil, hyssop, myrrh, marjoram and thyme can also cause adverse reactions and should be avoided as well during pregnancy.

Afraid of Anthrax? Strengthen Your Immune System!
by Susun S. Weed
Anthrax. Smallpox. Plague. Diseases that
can kill are now in the hands of terrorists!
What if these diseases were released in your hometown, or the place
where you work? What could you do if vaccines and treatments were in
short supply or unavailable? Is there anything you can do now to prepare
yourself and possibly improve your chances of survival?
Herbalist Susun Weed recognizes the possibility of biological warfare
and she is ready to cope with it. With her help, you too can be prepared
with herbs and home remedies that you can use now to help avoid infection
and to build a strong immune system. You can feel safer in these troubling
times by learning about herbs that are effective against antibiotic-resistant
bacteria, and that can be used in conjunction with, or in place of (should
there be a lack of ), modern antibiotics.
Anthrax bacteria (Bacillus anthracis) enter the body through
breaks in the skin or through the nose and lungs. Early symptoms (which
may take up to a week to occur) include reddish-black sores on the skin
or in the lymph nodes around the lungs. Hemorrhagic fever and death
follows. Treated early, anthrax succumbs to antibiotics and most people
(75-80 percent) recover completely.
Even without treatment, according to some sources, more than half of
those infected survive. (Genetically engineered varieties may kill up
to 90 percent of untreated victims.) The inhaled variety is more lethal
because the early symptoms of infection are easily ignored, delaying
treatment past the point of most effect, and because pneumonia infections
frequently complicate the recovery. Anthrax is not contagious; that
is, it is not passed from person to person.
The antibiotic Cipro is the treatment of choice for those definitely
exposed to anthrax, but neither it nor any other antibiotic can prevent
infection. It is dangerous to take antibiotics "just in case"
for then they may not work when actually needed. Instead, try these
home remedies.
Salt is lethal to bacteria. The simplest home remedy for those
worried about exposure to anthrax is to rinse your nose with salt (any
kind will do) mixed into water. Taste your mixture to be certain it
is very salty. Getting this up your nose can be accomplished by putting
your nose into the salt solution and snorting it in, which may not be very comfortable, or you may wish
to buy a "neti pot," a device from India used to rinse the
nasal passages or a basic squirt bottle. Afterwards, blow your nose and spit out any residue
that runs into the mouth.
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) has been scientifically
shown to kill all gram positive and gram-negative bacteria. A small
spray bottle of the tincture of the flowering tops can be used to spray
the inside of the nose, killing any bacteria lurking there. Spraying
tincture in your nose does sting a little and makes the eyes water,
but don't dilute it, the alcohol is antibacterial too.
Garlic has been used to prevent infection for thousands of years;
and it still works! No need to upset your stomach (and loved ones) by
eating it raw; cooked garlic retains its antibacterial powers, so long
as you eat enough of it. During plague times, healers in some areas
wore a "bird's beak:" a stiff cone was made of paper or bark,
stuffed with garlic and spices (cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg), and tied
on over the nose to help prevent contagion. That's a little cumbersome
for modern times, but inhaling the aroma of a cup of spicy tea (there
are many blends available, or make your own) could help forestall anthrax.
Medicinal mushrooms are not only immune system tonics, they possess
antibacterial properties, which make them ideal for preventing anthrax
infection, according to expert Paul Stametes. A tincture or strong infusion
of any shelf fungus with pores can be used, he says. If you prefer to
buy your mushrooms, rather than hunt for them, look for reishi
(Ganoderma lucidum) or shiitake (Lentinus edodes).
Both are adaptogenic, revitalizing, regenerative, and able to directly
suppress infection. Side effects, even from large doses, are rare.
Essential oils are antibacterial, and some sources suggest rubbing
them inside the nose or spraying the air with these extremely concentrated
oils to counter anthrax infections. I don't recomend this! Essential oils are likely
to cause a variety of side effects (such as damage to the mucus surfaces
of the nose and lungs, and stress to the lymphatic system) that could,
paradoxically, make infection more likely and more virulent.
Cayenne and golden seal are antibacterial, but too strong to
be used as preventatives. Snuffing hot pepper up your nose would kill
anthrax, but at the risk of irritating your nose and respiratory passages,
damaging their protective mucus surfaces, and stressing your immune
system. I rarely use golden seal, not only because it can cause severe
side effects, but also because it is approaching extinction in the wild.
I prefer safer antibacterial herbs such as
echinacea, usnea, or poke root, which not only kill infection,
but also help us keep our immune systems strong. That, of course, is
the desired result from immunization: to strengthen the immune system
and alert it to the possibility of anthrax infection. Anthrax vaccines
currently available for animals are not suitable for humans, and one
prepared for people is in short supply (and only 93 percent effective).
To achieve full immunity, one must have immunization shots every two
weeks for six weeks, then again at 6, 12, and 18 months. Given that,
herbs seem a superb alternative: They have an extensive history of countering
resistant bacteria and strengthening the body's natural defenses.
Echinacea root is the all-American immune system strengthener.
It triggers production of white blood cells, interferon, leukocytes,
T-cells, and B-lymphocytes, as well as directly inhibiting the growth
of most bacteria and viruses. Peter Holmes, author of Energetics of
Western Herbs, cites it as being effective against anthrax. Echinacea
tincture is my first choice for countering infection. (Capsules and
pills of echinacea, if used for lengthy periods, may be counterproductive.)
A dose of the tincture is one drop for every pound of body weight. I
take this several times a week as a preventative, several times daily
when there is active infection. If I were exposed to anthrax, I would
take a dose every hour for at least ten days.
Usnea, a common lichen, is especially rich in a powerful antibacterial
bitter called usnic acid (also usinic acid). I use the tincture of Usnea
barbata (a dose is 1-2 dropperfulls), but other lichens show similar
Immune enhancing and tonifying properties. There are no side effects
reported from use of even large amounts of usnea tincture.
Poke root tincture (Phytolacca americana) kicks the immune
system into gear incredibly fast. I've seen chronic infection of
many years standing resolve after only one dose, and acute infection
subside in a matter of hours. Poke's effect seems to be focused
on the lymphatic and glandular tissues of the throat and chest, making
it the perfect counter to inhaled anthrax, which attacks the lymph nodes
around the lungs. Poke is a specific against pneumonia and a protector
of the lungs. It contains an antibacterial alkaloid and a special antiviral
protein. It is magnifies the effects of echinacea and they work wonderfully
well together.
Poke root is powerful medicine, in fact, a potential poison, and the
dose is very small. One drop of poke tincture may be taken daily for
no more than three months as a counter to possible infection. Those
with a positive diagnosis could use a single drop as frequently as six
times a day. Alkaloids in poke root tincture can accumulate in the kidneys,
making extended use risky, though some people have taken doses of 15
drops a day for a year or more without apparent harm. Caution: You can
feel spacey and out of your body when taking poke, especially at higher
doses. The first few times, take it after dinner and stay home so you
can judge your reaction.
To be assured of a supply of poke tincture, you may need to make it
yourself, as it is rarely found for sale. Poke is a common garden and
roadside weed of northeastern North America, tall (5-7 feet) with conspicuous
dark purple berries and magenta-hued stalks. Dig roots after hard frost,
when tops are dead and yellowed, and tincture, fresh, for six weeks
in 100 proof vodka
Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus) is widely considered
the single most effective immune tonic and adaptogen in the herbal realm.
Safe and inexpensive, it helps the immune system respond quickly to
infection and mitigates the effects of stress. Astragalus root is also
an excellent ally for building powerful immunity. Both, or either, may
be taken daily for extended periods with no ill effects. I throw several
pieces of these roots in every pot of soup I cook. Tincture is less
effective as a tonic; and I avoid capsules completely.
Ginseng root (Panax quinquefolius or Panax ginseng)
is another exceptional ally for the immune system, especially when there
is physical or emotional stress. In any form (tincture, tea, extract)
it nourishes production of interferon, phagocytes, antibodies, and killer
T-cells. So long as you need ginseng, there's no overdose; if you
take it when you don't need it however, it may produce an unpleasant,
jittery, speedy sensation.
But herbs alone are not enough. What we think, and what we consume,
are also important parts of building strong immunity. Candace Pert,
visiting professor of neuroscience at Rutgers University, has proven
that every cell of the body participates in the immune system through
an integrated network of chemical, electrical, and hormonal signals.
The immune system is a network, she says, which resonates with the vibrations
that surround it. It is as affected by emotions as by bacteria, as impacted
by thoughts as by drugs.
Long-standing low-level depression, smoldering anger that is never expressed,
bitterness and vengeance projected into the future are all known to
depress immune functioning. Prayer, affirmations, positive thinking
-- no matter what you call it, talking lovingly to yourself builds powerful
immunity. One of the fiercest old women I know, healer Margo Geiger,
taught me to not only think good thoughts but also to unthink immune
System-stressing phrases like: "This is killing me," or "I'm
dying to . . ." ("Let's live for it!" she'd
say.)
Specialized cells that eliminate bacterial and viral infections are
made as needed by the immune system. Richly supply your immune system
with nutrients, and it easily counters infection, building healthy white
blood cells to kill anthrax and other germs. Starve your immune system
and it will falter, leaving your lymph nodes and other tissues open
to infection and destruction.
My favorite foods for nourishing the immune system include beets,
carrots, garlic, medicinal mushrooms, seaweeds, and dark leafy greens
(including nettle infusion). For rapid results, try miso soup with seaweed
and wild mushrooms. Try Immune
A Go Go Soup from Susun Weed's book Breast
Cancer? Breast Health!
Carotenes strengthen and activate all parts of the immune system,
especially the thymus (the "master gland of immunity"). A
half-cup of dandelion greens, two cups of nettle infusion, a small baked
sweet potato, or two large cooked carrots or beets is a "dose;"
but ten times that much can be consumed safely. Repeated doses provide
a cumulative effect starting about a week after you begin.
Selenium is a trace mineral with special abilities for building
a healthy immune system. Best sources are organic garlic, medicinal
mushrooms, and astragalus. Zinc helps build energetic white blood cells
(which eliminate bacterial infections). Best sources are echinacea,
nettles, and seaweed.
The B-vitamin complex, especially B6 (pyridoxine), is critical
to immune system health. Best sources are potato skins, broccoli, prunes,
and lentils.
Virtually all drugs depress the immune system. This includes
caffeine and nicotine, alcohol, prescribed drugs, "recreational"
drugs, and vitamin/mineral supplements. For a healthy immune system,
eat nourishing food and forgo the pills.
Both light and dark are necessary for a strong immune system.
For optimum immune system strength, sleep in a totally dark room at night, and spend at least 15 minutes a day outside without glasses or contacts. Full spectrum sunlight is needed to trigger the production of important immune system components.
Exercise is an excellent way to tonify the immune system. A number of clinical trials have shown regular exercise to be strongly linked to heightened immunity. The emphasis is on regular. It is better to walk one mile four times a week for a month than to jog 16 miles once a month.
In Summary, strengthen you immune system with a good diet, adequate sleep, regular physical activity, emotional well-being, and a few of the recommended herbal allies of your choice. Always remember to use herbs and herbal preparations simply and safely. Avoid immune compromising substances such as coffee, tobacco and medications. With a strengthened immune system you will not only enjoy better health, but you will be less likely to be susceptible to infection and possible death from bacterial and/or viral invasions. Faith in your body's ability to protect itself will continue to bolster and reinforce the immune system as your mental well being improves. Enjoy the upward spiral of health as you follow the path of the Wise Woman Way.
