Although the use of sea buckthorn has no established interactions as a food form, suppository, or with topical application, it is possible that unknown interactions exist. When taken internally as an oil or oil capsule, interactions with sea buckthorn have been noted. These interactions have been observed with certain herbs and dietary supplements, drugs, and some diseases or conditions.

Hawthorn Berry has been used to treat heart disease since the first century. Hawthorn Berry contains Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPCs), which may help cardiovascular health. Hawthorn Berry helps to dilate blood vessels, improve blood flow and protects the blood vessels from damage. Side effects of this supplement are very rare but may include headaches, nausea and the feeling of a racing

Ulbricht et al. find that the bark and root contains a glycoside that when metabolized by the body, increases cyanide levels which can result in a toxic build up and cyanide poisoning. The authors recommend if there is a toxic overdose, Ipecac should be used to stimulate emesis followed by gastric lavage. The study also warns if the berries, root and bark are not cooked properly, severe and uncontrollable GI distress (abdominal cramping, vomiting, diarrhea) occurs in addition to the risk of cyanide toxicity.

Egyptians used the absinth plant to treat various ailments. Romans and Greeks also used it to create a potion that was steeped in wine and was rumored to heal stomach bugs. (Wormwood=worm-wode, or a cure for worms.)

Mulberry and blueberry are examples of the berries species that contain high antioxidants and low in calories. These berries may contribute in minimizing and preventing the risk of diabetes due to the presence of high amounts of phenolic compound and flavonoids such as anthocyanin. It may exhibit neuroprotective and anticancer activity (Wang Y, Xiang L, Wang C, Tang C, He X, 2013). The reaction of the antioxidants in berries related to the reduction of oxidative stress and inhibition of macromolecular oxidation in fruits that high in phenolic compound (Larson, 1988). The anthocyanin content also have other health-related function such as anticancer, antiaging and antiobesity. However, the research regarding these functions still in progress and some of the research still needs a further improvement. The rich content of poplyphenol in berries helps in reducing the oxidation and producing the insulin to reduce the blood glucose

A yellow-flowered plant used medicinally since the time of ancient Greece, St. John’s Wort has been used all through history to treat nerve pain. It has anti-inflammatory effect, antibacterial, astringent and antioxidant properties. The herb is also known for helping to regenerate nerve tissue and relieve pain associated with sciatica.

The plant species that I researched was Medicago sativa, or more commonly known as Alfalfa. I found this to be a very intriguing plant to research because we grow alfalfa on the farm as a fodder feed for the animals but I had no idea that it had such a practical use in modern medicine. It is believed that alfalfa was first grown somewhere within the Middle East and then spread to Europe and parts of Asia, the colonists brought it over from Europe to America. And today it can be found in nearly every continent used to feed livestock. The leaves of Alfalfa are what is beneficial in the use of medicine.The leaves are known to have positve affects on the digestive system and can help to lower cholesterol. They also aide with the cleansing the

Bockshorn clover was used by ancient Egyptians to fight fever. Bockshorn clover relieves congestion, reduces inflammation and fights infection. Bockshorn clover contains natural mucolytic properties ideal for the treatment of sinus congestion and lungs. Loosens and removes excess mucus and mucus. Bockshorn clover relieves cough, promotes sweating to lower fever, and is beneficial for the treatment of allergies, bronchitis and

The Latin translation of uva-ursi has led to its shorthand of bearsberry, designated such due to an observed propensity of bears towards eating the berries this shrub produces. Only the leaves on this plant produce any herbal benefit. “Fruits are technically edible for humans, but are generally considered to be mealy and lacking flavor. Meriwether Lewis described these fruits in 1806 to be ‘tasteless and insipid.’ On the plus side, bears, birds and small mammals love the fruits”(Vaughan & Judd, 2003). The use of this herb dates back to the 2ndcentury as an effective remedy for urinary tract infections.

Diabetics who have been searching for a safer solution to controlling their high blood sugar may be able to find it in a supplement called “hintonia iatiflora.” This tree originates in Mexico and South America, so those who live in the United States have often never heard of it. But that needs to change because research has shown that it can potentially work as well as, or better than, many pharmaceutical products that are designed for the same purpose. Read on for more information about why hintonia iatiflora is being called an “herbal rescue for high blood sugar.”

In addition to what you mentioned about Tribulus, it can be used for kidney problems such as painful urination, kidney stones, and kidney support, as a diuretic it helps to enhance urine output and removal of toxins1. Again, this herb is capable of treating skin disorder, pain and swelling, digestive problem; also it may as well be used for chronic fatigue syndrome. A study shows that, Tribulus augments the amount of oxygen present in the cell and supply energy, also absolutely affect mood, stress and anxiety2

The phytonutrients in apples can help you regulate your blood sugar. Recent research has shown that apple polyphenols can help prevent spikes in blood sugar through a variety of mechanisms. Flavonoids like quercetin found in apples can inhibit enzymes like alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase. Since these enzymes are involved in the breakdown of complex carbohydrates into simple sugars, your blood sugar has fewer simple sugars to deal with when these enzymes are inhibited. In addition, the polyphenols in apple have been shown to lessen absorption of glucose from the digestive tract; to stimulate the beta cells of the pancreas to secrete insulin; and to increase uptake of glucose from the blood via stimulation of insulin receptors. All of these mechanisms triggered by apple polyphenols can make it easier for you to regulate your blood sugar.

A team of researchers from Morocco found that “the extract decreased several components of the metabolic syndrome, decreased atherosclerotic indicators, and increased cardioprotective factors, which leads them to believe that coriander extract may have a cardiovascular protective effect” (Gettleman). Researchers have discovered that the property of coriander responsible for these effects is from a pigment in the coriander plant called quercetin. This study as well as the previous study I explored have similar results, concluding that coriander may have properties that can treat diabetes but since much of the research has been done on rats rather than humans, more investigation still needs to be done (Gettleman).

This plant is poisonous in large qualities and must be kept out of the reach of children and pets. Ingesting small quantities may cause nervous disorders, convulsions and insomnia. The scent may cause headaches in some sensitive people as well as allergies and asthma. This plant is
