As a kid, I permanently heard my grandfather talking about the importance of herbs in our health, their multitude of benefits, and how they helped him overcome many ailments he confronted with over time. He was always reading new stuff, and could answer any question related to herbs.
Whenever I had a health problem, he would recommend me an herb. He would say “Drink this tea made from this herb and you’ll be just fine!”
I must admit that there were plenty of times when I thought he was a crazy old man and that my doctor knew best. Oh, but how mistaken I was! However, now that I’m an adult, and that I’m lucky enough to still have him in my life, I think he’s a genius and I’m pretty grateful to have him as my grandfather.
In fact, he is the reason why I trusted the information I got through research, when I was trying to find a solution for my wife’s desperate situation. And you see, the organic fungus nuker also includes a complex of herbs, which I knew plenty of details ever since I was a kid, and this is all due to my grandfather.
Let me start with the Indian Rhubarb. It is a plant with a low content of saturated fats and salt, and little cholesterol, but with a high content of magnesium.
In a raw portion of rhubarb (100 g), you will find the following nutritional values:
- Minerals: Calcium (86 mg), Magnesium (12 mg), Phosphorus (14 mg), Potassium (288 mg), Salt (4 mg), Zinc, Selenium, Iron
- Omega-6 (99 mg)
- Vitamins: A, C (8 mg), E, folates, choline
- Carbohydrates: 4.5 g (of which 1.8 g dietary fiber, 1.1 g sugar)
- Pigments: beta-carotene
Indian rhubarb is rich in Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent that strengthens the immune system, protects it from the toxic effects of external intruders, and also helps to develop healthy and powerful cells in the body.
Sheep sorrel is another plant, which, despite its intense nutritional properties, is being ignored. Unlike other vegetables, sheep sorrel has a very high nutritional value and contains a series of active substances that are less commonly found.
This plant has many health benefits, being one of the oldest consumed herb, and representing a food worshiped by Egyptian pharaohs.
Sheep sorrel is considered a food with negative calories but contains a significant amount of Iron and Vitamin C, Folic Acid, Iodine, Sulfur, Zinc, Potassium, Phosphorus, Vitamin A, and other phytonutrients. It is also rich in antibiotic substances, fighting against infections in the body and strengthening immunity.
And how about the amazing benefits of Burdock?
From diabetes, hepatobiliary disorders, rheumatic or infectious diseases, all can be alleviated with the help of burdock powder. Moreover, it was proven that this plant also has antioxidant and anti-tumor properties, protecting the body from the harmful effects of free radicals, and, implicitly, cancer.
For medicinal purposes, burdock root is used to prepare the extract and powder, while the leaves are good for infusions.
The burdock root contains insulin, a sweet-tasting vegetable carbohydrate, as well as antibacterial and antifungal compounds.
Burdock powder offers multiple positive effects on your health:
- Depurative
- Diuretic
- Stimulant of the hepatobiliary function
- Bacteriostatic
- Antifungal
- Anti-inflammatory
- Trophic
Another herb that I have discovered is Slippery Elm, a plant that is extremely important for its therapeutic properties. Its bark and leaves are the ones that have medicinal significance.
The bark contains resins, mucilage, tannins, mineral salts, and bitter substances. It can be used as an infusion, powder, tincture, decoction, tea or cataplasm. It has astringent, antihemorrhagic, antifungal, healing, hemostatic, depurative, and sudorific effects.
The slippery elm is recommended for treating different ailments such as:
- Pulmonary, dermatological, and rheumatic diseases
- Arthrosis, cardiovascular disease, and insomnia
- Burns, eczema, skin rashes, hemorrhages, and fungal infections
But the one, most important of the many health benefits of Slippery Elm, is that it makes a soothing substance for anything it comes in contact with.
Let me now say a big ‘Thank You!‘ because you chose to be informed and make the best decisions for your health.
