The salicylic alcohol derivatives found in willow bark act as a drug prodrug in the body.
About the willow bark
The healing properties of willow were known to our ancestors and were often used in folk medicine, especially for pain relief and to reduce inflammation. The secret is that one of its active ingredients is very similar to painkillers. It is a natural source of salicylate.
Its active ingredients include glycosides, oxalates, resins and various enzymes.
The daily dose of salicylic acid is 10-25% of that of synthetic acetylsalicylic acid. The similar efficacy at lower doses may be due to the fact that willow also contains plant co-formulants that enhance the bioavailability of the main active ingredient.
The medicinal properties of willow
Helps relieve headaches. Helps in the treatment of acute muscle pain. Has antipyretic properties. Helps relieve stress. Eases menstrual cramps. Helps reduce inflammation.
How to make tea from it?
Boil two teaspoons of willow bark in 200 ml of water and leave to stand for 10-15 minutes. Then strain and when it has cooled to lukewarm, flavour. 2-3 cups per day is recommended.
Contraindication
For people sensitive to salicylic acid, do not consume!
Sugar is worse than salt for high blood pressure, according to a paper published in the journal Open Heart.
Fructose, specifically, plays a bigger role in the development of heart problems than we might have thought.
However, reducing your salt intake below a certain level can also lead to problems.
Researchers at St Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute report this after lengthy research and review of results from previous studies. But according to many in the scientific community, the research is just unsubstantiated scaremongering.
For example, Prof Francessco Cappuccio, a researcher at the University of Warwick, says that both sugar and salt intake should be set at levels that allow cardiovascular problems to be avoided. But demonising sugar rather than salt is both unnecessary and not yet well proven.
Prof Tom Saunders, a researcher at King’s College London, agrees: reducing salt intake and losing weight lowers blood pressure, but the direct effect of sugar consumption is not yet well established. He says that salt consumption in Britain is lower by default than in America because manufacturers add less salt to food, which has led to a measurable reduction in blood pressure. Sugar is mainly found in sweetened drinks, cakes and cereals, which should be cut back on if daily sugar intake is to be reduced.
The researchers from St Luke’s added that while added fructose is often found in processed foods and sugary drinks, we shouldn’t worry about naturally occurring sugars found in vegetables and fruit.
According to the British National Diet and Nutrition Survey, most adults and children consume more sugar than recommended. The World Health Organization recommends that sugar should be less than 10 per cent of daily energy intake: this means a maximum daily sugar intake of 50g for the average adult, but halving this can lead to significant health benefits.
A child growing under the heart needs a lot of nutrients and filters them out of the blood.
As a result, the amount of minerals in a woman’s body decreases during pregnancy. Some minerals are needed in particularly high amounts, which can cause a deficiency in the mother.
For pregnant women, adequate protein and vitamin intake is important. However, attention should be paid to the mineral content of the diet. Food should contain plenty of manganese, zinc, iron, magnesium, phosphorus and calcium.
Eating healthily during pregnancy is important.
Prolonged deficiencies can lead to serious problems, which we don’t think anyone wants. Zinc and manganese deficiencies can lead to poor digestion and aggravation of related diseases or allergies. Calcium deficiency can lead to weak bones, especially if you don’t get enough magnesium. Iron deficiency can cause anaemia Phosphorus deficiency also has a negative effect on bone structure, accelerating the process of osteoporosis.
Foods particularly rich in calcium: broccoli, peanuts, almonds, sesame seeds.
The best sources of magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc and manganese are cereals, nuts, oilseeds and pulses.
Among these, millet, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, linseeds and most pulses contain a lot of iron.
But that is not the end of the story for sesame seeds during pregnancy, as they are one of the foods that are particularly rich in calcium. In addition to sesame seeds, peanuts and broccoli are also very good, as are dairy products. The best sources of magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc and manganese are cereals, nuts, oilseeds and pulses.
So if you eat them, you will not develop magnesium or calcium deficiencies, and you will prevent deficiencies of trace elements.
Sodium is essential for cell function. Unfortunately, table salt often causes higher amounts to enter the body. It is worth paying attention to this and, if necessary, reducing the amount taken in.
Phosphorus, together with calcium, plays a very important role in the structure of certain tissues. It is found in dairy products, cereals and legumes.
Copper is used in red blood cell formation. It is necessary for the formation of skeleton when it is absorbed through breast milk. It is found in both cereal seeds and nuts.
There was no broth without lovage, an ancient spice from the celery family that gives the dish an amazing flavour. Its leaves are similar to celery, and for good reason: the celery family has been a popular herb in Hungarian cuisine since ancient times, and it is also used in soups, sauces and meat dishes.
Nowadays, it’s rarely used, but it’s worth trying, and not just for its fantastic flavour: lestyán is very healthy, because like most herbs, it’s also a medicinal herb.
It’s worth planting some in your herb garden, and it’s a good idea to have at least one packet of dried lovage in your spice box.
It’s also known as a vegetable for its special aroma, as it adds an unforgettable flavour to soups – if you add it to broth, it will give a really distinctive taste.
But lovage also looks good in green pea soup, and it has its place in goulash soup. You can use both the leaves and the stems for seasoning, and dried lesty leaves go very well with duck or roast chicken.
It’s also a great choice for salads and cheese, or you can use it to make a savoury herb sandwich cream.
Boosts the immune system
It is also worth consuming regularly because of its high B and C vitamin content, which improves the immune system. It also has a calming effect on the nervous system due to its high B vitamin content.
A true remedy
Its strong, intense fragrance is due to essential oils and coumarins. Thanks to the phthalides it contains, it relieves stomach and intestinal spasms, but it is also beneficial for bladder and urinary tract spasms. It aids digestion by stimulating the production of digestive juices thanks to its strong taste. It is also excellent for preventing flatulence and can be eaten to relieve loss of appetite. Thanks to its diuretic effect, it reduces the amount of uric acid in the body, which is effective against many joint diseases. It can also be consumed for urinary tract infections and prostate problems due to its detoxifying effects.
To make tea from the root, steep 1 tablespoon of dried root in boiling water for 10 minutes and strain.
So plant it in your garden
Two or three plants are enough for the average family. As it is a large plant, it is better to grow it in the garden rather than in a window box: it will grow and develop for several years. If you want to grow it from seed, it’s important to know that it takes a long time to germinate and needs a humid environment, so cover the pots of freshly sown seeds with foil or glass and place them in a warm place. Seedlings will emerge after four weeks; keep the soil moist before and after that. Once the true leaves have emerged, transplant the strongest seedlings – they may even go to their final location in the herb garden.
There used to be horseradish in every garden, but nowadays it has been almost completely forgotten, even though it is a very healthy plant.
Let’s see the benefits of horseradish:
– It has a higher vitamin C content than lemons. – If you grate horseradish fresh, its essential oils cleanse the airways and disinfect the room. – It can be used to make a compress for migraines, insect bites and is also good for toothache. The leaves can also be used to soothe inflammation, pain and rheumatism. – Eaten raw, it has immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory and detoxifying effects. It also has antipyretic properties and can be used for weight loss.
It is low in calories but high in fibre.
In addition to vitamin C, it also contains many vitamins and minerals. It also contains vitamin B, calcium, copper, zinc, iron, phosphorus, manganese and magnesium. Its metabolism boosting effects only work with regular exercise and proper nutrition.
If you grate the horseradish fresh, put it in cotton and place it on your throat or chest. If you have a migraine, put it on the back of your head, and if you have a fever, on the soles of your feet. Drinking a tablespoon of honey horseradish in the morning can be a very good immune booster.
Horseradish has great antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties.
It can also be used for coughs and colds. Fresh horseradish boosts the metabolism, as do chilli, lemon and citrus fruits. Inhaling the vapour of grated or boiled horseradish is also very good for relieving nausea. The aromas released reduce discomfort, relax the muscles and reduce headaches and nausea. Horseradish is most beneficial when eaten raw. It can also be used to make a muscle-relaxing ointment, just grate the horseradish and mix it with olive oil or even coconut oil. It can also be effective for cramps and muscle aches as well as menstrual cramps. Drinking adequate amounts of water, along with a varied diet, can also help a lot against urinary tract infections. It also cleanses the kidneys and flushes out harmful substances.
Muscle cramps can be caused by injury, exertion, dehydration, vitamin deficiencies (usually magnesium and calcium).
Medicines can also cause muscle cramps, such as diuretics, medicines for high blood pressure, asthma medicines.
Usually, you can get rid of muscle spasm by relaxing and stretching.
If your calves are cramping or aching, you may want to walk or lean against a wall to stretch them. If you have muscle spasms in the back of your hands, you may want to press your palms firmly on the table. Massaging or rubbing the affected areas can be a general solution, or warming the muscles with a compress can be very effective. Hydration is also important, especially if the muscle spasm is caused by sport or physical work.
Whatever kind of cramp you are facing, it is a general help to increase your calcium and magnesium intake, as a lack of these is also a common cause of muscle cramps. Medication is not recommended. You can prevent muscle cramps by warming up before exercising and stretching afterwards, which not only prevents muscle cramps but also injuries.
There are also herbs that can help a lot to relieve muscle spasm.
Let’s see what these herbs are.
Yarrow has great physiological effects. It both relaxes and dilates stiff and spasming muscles and can even be effective when mixed with fruits like grapes. It increases blood circulation and can also prevent muscle spasms.
Black comfrey is also a great herb. It is most commonly used to treat muscle spasms. The root is also used as a poultice and balm. It can also be used to relieve spasmodic pain as well as other problems. It has also been used orally, where it is effective for tense muscles and joint relief.
St. John’s wort oil can also be great for spasming muscles. It can even bring an immediate improvement. Rubbing it on the problem areas dilates the capillaries and therefore relieves pain. St. John’s wort leaves make a great poultice to help sore muscles.
A natural solution to eliminate agonizing complaints…
Menstrual cramps make life miserable for many women. However, there are now many ways to relieve the pain, such as using a hot water bottle on the abdomen, yoga or herbal remedies. The following herbs are excellent for relieving cramps.
Yarrow
Yarrow helps keep the female pelvic organs healthy. It also helps with ovarian inflammation, fibroids, menstrual cramps and cancer. You can make a tea or a sitting bath with it. A sitting bath is just as effective as tea.
White mistletoe
White mistletoe can be a good remedy for menstrual cramps, heavy bleeding or uterine problems. It can also help to relieve the unpleasant symptoms of menopause. You can make a tea from it. The tea requires one teaspoon of the plant. However, it is important to make the mistletoe tea cold.
Chamomile
Chamomile can be used for a wide range of problems. It relieves pain and cramps, so it can also be used for menstrual cramps.
Alchemilla
Alchemilla is an excellent remedy for menstrual cramps, white discharge, but also for menopausal cramps or pubertal changes. It also helps to maintain pregnancy and childbirth by strengthening the uterine ligaments. It is also recommended in cases of prolapse of the uterus. Used in combination with yarrow, its healing properties can be increased.
Yellow-Lamium
The leaves and flowers of the yellow-Lamium are used to make a tea, which is excellent for relieving abdominal cramps and pain.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, so our body can store it. Its role is to promote bone formation and calcium absorption, but it also affects a wide range of other processes.
In addition to osteoporosis, its deficiency may be linked to the development of cancers, neurological disorders, diabetes and various cardiovascular diseases.
How can I tell if I have a vitamin D deficiency? Recognise your body’s responses and we’ll give you four symptoms of deficiency.
These are the symptoms of vitamin D deficiency
1. INCREASED SWEATING A sweating forehead is one of the first noticeable symptoms. According to the doctor, if your body has heated up to 37 degrees Celsius or more while you are not moving and your environment is not very hot, you may strongly suspect a sign of vitamin D deficiency.
2. YOU FEEL WEAK Vitamin D deficiency can make you feel exhausted, even if you are able to get enough sleep. Both iron and vitamin D deficiency can cause fatigue, as muscle strength depends not only on the presence of iron, but also on vitamin D. With adequate levels, muscle regulation is also more intense and we feel fitter.
3. YOU FEEL DEPRESSED Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency in adults often include lethargy. It’s true that you can be depressed about many things, but a growing body of research links depression to vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency is linked to brain processes, as it acts in the same area of the brain as serotonin and dopamine, which affect mood
4. YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM VARIOUS PAINS People who have been diagnosed with arthritis or rheumatic complaints often also suffer from vitamin D deficiency, as the deficiency can also cause joint and muscle pain. Regular daily intake of vitamin D can go a long way towards alleviating these symptoms.
Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency can appear on the skin in different ways
Skin dryness: a lack of vitamin D can contribute to skin dryness and irritation, which can make the skin more sensitive and itchy.
Acne and inflammation: vitamin D deficiency has been linked to acne and other skin inflammations. Vitamin D plays an important role in the immune system and in its absence, the skin can more easily develop inflammatory processes.
Hair loss: vitamin D deficiency can contribute to hair loss and deterioration of hair quality. Vitamin D is necessary for healthy hair growth and maintenance.
What to do if one of these points is true for you?
Either eat foods rich in vitamin D or take a supplement to get it into your body.
Prostatitis should not be taken lightly, it is a serious disease! Here’s what you need to know about it
Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland. It can take many different forms and can have different causes.
The different types are:
Bacterial prostatitis is the most common form, caused by bacteria. It can be acute or chronic. E. coli bacteria are the most common cause, but other pathogens may also be involved. In other bacterial cases, prostatitis is caused by a sexually transmitted disease, such as Chlamydia infection
In the case of chronic pelvic pain, inflammation of the pelvic muscles or the pelvic floor is the cause of prostatitis
In rare cases, viruses, parasites and fungal infections can also cause chronic prostatitis. In addition, various infections of the bladder can spread to the prostate.
In addition, there may be non-bacterial causes of prostatitis, such as stress, a sedentary lifestyle, low fluid intake, unbalanced diet and immune system disorders.
Symptoms
Symptoms can vary and depend on the type of inflammation. They usually include: pain or discomfort around the genitals, pain when urinating, frequent urge to urinate, fever and chills.
You can get prostatitis from this!
Men can also get fever and bladder infections can spread to the prostate. But prostatitis can also be caused by fungal infections and various viruses.
The prostate can become inflamed more easily if there is a zinc deficiency or if the patient drinks too little fluid. It can also be caused by food allergies such as gluten sensitivity or caffeine intolerance. If you have chronic prostatitis, you should avoid foods that are too spicy or hot, and avoid drinking alcohol.
The backward flow of urine and bacteria in the prostate outflow ducts is considered one of the most important causes of bacterial and non-bacterial prostatitis. Urine and bacteria in the urine flowing into the prostate from the urethra cause inflammation.
You can also get inflammation from an injury or kick to the prostate area. Trauma can be caused by a hard kicked football, excessive cycling, riding a motorbike, sports that involve strong jolts.
To prevent prostatitis, it’s important to adopt a healthy lifestyle and follow certain habits. Here are some suggestions for prevention:
Regular exercise can help maintain a healthy weight and improve overall health, which can help prevent prostatitis.
A healthy diet that includes vegetables, fruits, whole grains and healthy fats can help boost the immune system and reduce the risk of prostatitis.
Drinking enough fluid is important to prevent prostatitis. Regular fluid intake can help reduce the risk of developing an infection.
How pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seed oil affect the prostate
Pumpkin seeds have been traditionally used to support prostate health since centuries ago. Pumpkin seeds are rich in zinc, an important mineral for maintaining prostate health.
Zinc plays a role in maintaining hormonal balance and immune function, all of which are important for prostate health.
In addition, the plant compounds found in pumpkin seeds may also contribute to prostate health. They are substances similar to cholesterol and may have a number of health benefits, including a role in supporting prostate health.
Pumpkin seeds and their extracts, along with zinc, can be useful in supporting prostate health.
In our country and in other so-called developed countries, circulatory and cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death.
It is important to know that symptoms can vary depending on the specific disease and the area affected.
However, there are 8 symptoms that may indicate diseases of the circulatory system:
Fatigue and weakness: a general feeling of fatigue and weakness may be present in cases of circulatory system problems.
Shortness of breath: if you experience shortness of breath even during small exertions, such as climbing stairs or resting, this could be a sign of heart or lung disease.
Pain or pressure in the chest: this could be a sign of angina or a heart attack. Chest pain can be dull or sharp, and you may sometimes feel pressure or tightness in your chest.
Palpitations or heart rhythm disturbances: irregular heartbeat, fast heartbeat or other heart rhythm disturbances may occur in people with circulatory system diseases.
Cold or numb limbs: if you have poor circulation, you may experience numb or numb limbs.
Pain or cramping in the legs: this can be a sign of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), which causes narrowing or blockage of the arteries in the lower limbs.
Changes in vision: circulatory problems can sometimes cause vision problems, such as blurred vision or loss of vision.
Water retention and swelling: swelling and water retention in the legs, ankles or other parts of the body can be a symptom of heart or kidney disease.
These symptoms may be associated with other conditions and do not necessarily mean that there is a circulatory problem. They cover a wide range of diseases of the circulatory system, including vascular disease, heart disease and other circulatory problems.
Cold limbs
Here are 8 diseases that can be attributed to circulatory system disorders
High blood pressure (hypertension): a condition where blood pressure is at a higher than normal level. In the long term, it increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Heart disease: these include heart attack (myocardial infarction), heart muscle weakness (heart failure), heart rhythm disorders (e.g. atrial fibrillation).
Atherosclerosis: a condition in which deposits (plaques) form on the walls of blood vessels, narrowing or blocking the arteries and increasing the risk of heart disease.
Stroke: this occurs when blood flow to the brain is suddenly interrupted for some reason, which can lead to brain tissue damage.
Blood clots: when blood clots form in the blood, they can cause blockages in the arteries, leading to a heart attack or stroke.
Varicose vein problems: for example, varicose veins, varicose veins, which usually appear on the legs.
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD): a condition where the arteries in the legs or arms narrow or become blocked, reducing the blood supply to the limbs.
Aneurysm: this is an abnormal bulging of the artery wall, which in severe cases can result in a rupture and a life-threatening condition.
Individually, these can pose serious health risks and require appropriate treatment. A number of healthy lifestyle changes and preventive measures can help to prevent diseases of the circulatory system.
Here are some tips on how to prevent diseases of the circulatory system
Exercise: regular aerobic exercise such as walking, running, swimming or cycling can help maintain a healthy weight, lower blood pressure and improve circulation.
No smoking: smoking seriously damages the vascular system and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. If you smoke, try to quit.
Moderate alcohol consumption: excessive alcohol consumption can increase blood pressure and triglyceride levels. However, moderate alcohol consumption may have some health benefits.
Weight control: maintain a healthy weight, as being overweight or obese increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Stress management: learn to manage stress and practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing, meditation or yoga.
Regular checks: go for regular medical check-ups to check your blood pressure, cholesterol levels and other important health indicators.
Screening tests: get the recommended screening tests, such as mammograms, colonoscopies or blood pressure tests, to identify and treat potential problems at an early stage.
A healthy diet: eat plenty of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein and healthy fats such as olive oil. Avoid excessive sugar, salt and saturated fats.
Special vitamin supplementation: the best way to get the vitamins and minerals your body needs is through a balanced, varied diet, which cannot be replaced by any dietary supplement. However, there are situations when we need extra vitamins or minerals. Unfortunately, today’s more inactive lifestyles are reflected in sluggish blood circulation, which we only notice when our limbs are numb and cold, when we are tired and tired. Improve circulation and support vascular health with the right vitamins and supplements.
These simple but effective steps can help reduce the risk of circulatory diseases and contribute to a healthier lifestyle.
