Health Benefits from Old Herbal Experiments

The greater interest in herbal plants has improved my knowledge to other avenues. My mother had an ulcer venous sore for many years, and I tried to help find a way to heal her pain but to no avail.

After several purchases of different creams, ointments, and gels I finally found Comfrey. A unique herbal plant that healed sores with its poisonous chemicals.

The unusual name and I have seen this plant growing up in the mountain close to my home. The gel worked through the unbearable venous sore. From the inside, the ankle sore has shown great improvement during the daily use of the gel.

A plant that uses chemicals called pyrrolizidine alkaloids. The rhizome is used to make the actual medicine.

The age of the Comfrey plant is targeted before the harvesting is approached and prickly Comfrey or the Russian Comfrey is known to be more poisonous.

Symphytum asperum is known as the prickly Comfrey and the Russian Comfrey is known as the Symphytum x uplandicum.

These are the kinds that are available for the healing of the varicose veins sore. The ulcer sore does not just disappear it takes a while if the person affected has diabetes or has a family history of varicose veins.

You can use Comfrey tea for and for that not so good feeling tummy. Women who have heavy menstrual problems can drink Comfrey tea to ease such issues.

Comfrey tea is beneficial for many ailments such as:

Diarrhoea or bloody urine.

When you have a problem with ulcers internally.

A respiratory issue like bronchitis.

Angina or chest pains.

If you suffer from painful breathing.

A prevention for cancer.

Gum diseases are driven away when Comfrey tea is used as a simple gargle. Also, a sore throat can be relieved with Comfrey tea. Used on wounds, or on the skin for the problem of ulcers. When you experience joint inflammation or bruises Comfrey plant is very helpful to all such problems.

Ever heard of phlebitis?

The Comfrey gel can be applied to the veins or affected area to show good results.

The poisonous chemicals in the Comfrey plant healed sores or wounds as mentioned above. The gel, when applied to the affected area, starts to heal by reducing the inflammation and new skin is formed on the wound.

The poisonous chemicals can be absorbed by the skin.

Harlemensis

I discovered Harlemensis when my partner had problems with kidney stones. He was in pain and the look on his face told me everything of that terrible ordeal.

Pacing up and down the room in such agony and I looked helplessly not knowing how to stop his agonizing pain.

When the doctor arrived, I was told to get my partner to the hospital immediately, as the kidney stones have got to be removed as soon as possible.

Once that was taken care of, we were told by the doctor that my partner should have Harlemensis twice daily diluted in water.

It is a bitter-tasting medicine but worked wonders. Urinary tract infections and bladder infections can be resolved with Harlemensis.

If you are sensitive to the dose stop it right away!

When taken over the actual limit one can be faced with gastrointestinal irritation. The feeling of vomiting or nausea can pop up. Also, diarrhoea can be present in such cases.

If taken in large doses one can have respiratory failure or convulsions. Take only if you need to. Add two to three drops in a quarter of a glass of water.

Allergic reactions to Harlemensis can be noticed such as itchiness and a rash. A few drops per day can help you with upper urinary tractions.

Harlemensis heals open wound sores and is sometimes used to wash down there for any infections. Some women can put a few drops of Harlemensis on a sanitary towel when they have an infection or on a pad.

The Older Pandanus leaf is a South Asian plant and herb.

Found in the Asian region and is famous for its leaves just like the Slinger berry tree is popular for the great benefits of its leaves.

The leaves are used only when fresh and for the green color in cuisines (not the Slinger berry leaves).

I have found my interest in unusual herbs and plant healing properties since 1997. In this way, I learned lots more from all the herbs I have grown and noticed around me.

Learning never stops and reading has improved my knowledge over the years. I have thus far enjoyed the learning experiences.

Herbs have healing properties only if taken in large doses will you have unpleasant effects, like a rash, an upset stomach or diarrhoea.

I was taken aback while watching a documentary on Betel Leaf and Betel Nut. I am Indian and going back to my childhood years for as long as I can remember the uses of Betel Leaf and Betel Nut had been in my culture for centuries.

I had no idea of the many uses and benefits until I grew older and much wiser. It is one of the most unusual herbs from around the world and little did I know of why the elders used the combination of Betel Leaf and Betel Nut.

I did see the red colored watery stuff sometimes dripping out of their mouths and how they wiped it off. I remained in the dark of not knowing more.

I learned that in India the Betel Leaf and Beetle Nut certainly plays a huge role since ancient times.

You are looking at way back in time from the 400 BC. I was amazed to see how Indians have used this herb from such a long time ago. While so young and watching the elders chew on the Betel leaves and the Betel nut, that did not mean much to me at that time.

My new discoveries of the Betel Leaf and Betel Nut had got me talking away.

The Betel Leaf is used for many ailments:

Gladly, it is used as a stimulant, as an antiseptic, a breath freshener and the Betel nut has been used as an aphrodisiac. I feel another interest has crept up my sleeve. The skill is practiced daily by the elders and the combination of the leaf and nut can also be spiced for better flavor.

Ancient times had no proper evidence of this herb having anything to do with oral cancer prevention. Though when tested on mice when the different types of cancer occurred in these creatures it was known that the tumors did not reoccur.

The Betel Leaf had helped to avoid such tumors from reoccurring. Betel nut did not help as the Betel Leaf did for the tests on mice.

The benefits of the Betel Leaf and Betel Nut is still tremendously helpful to many individuals. In humans the tests are not enough to prove for the actual benefits. I have noticed the differences in the elders who chewed on Betel Leaf and Betel Nut.

These people were healthier and did not seek medical help as much as those who did not eat the heart-shaped green herbal leaf and Nut.

My increasing interest herbs and of the different spices from around the world is improving daily. After my recent discoveries I decided to continue writing and learning through my thorough research of the all different herbal remedies and of the uses too.

The health benefits are enormous, and I am so glad to have chosen this unique subject. I am intrigued by the information gathered on the many subjects of the natural healing of these products. In time I know I will discover more. I do enjoy learning and will always look forward to another new discovery of herbs.
