GENTIAN ( Gentian lutea) has been used for hundreds of years for
digestion and restore appetite. It is an example of one of those herbs with
incredible reputation in one country, but for the most part has been over
looked by the rest of the world.The Germans have been using this herb
as a tonic for centuries. Gentian is a simple bitter "Bitter Root" is a
common name of Gentian lutea.
Gentian acts on the whole digestive process, to stimulate appetite and
increase digestion by stimulating the flow of bile. It eliminates of
overcomes the cause of digestive problems and increases absorption and
assimilation. Gentian also acts as an anti-inflammatory, increases
pancreatic health for everyone, especially the diabetis or pre-diabetic and
solves heartburn, gastritis and various forms of upset stomach.
A very interesting fact, according to Simin Y. Mills in "The
Essential Book of Herbal Medicine," is that that the gentisin in
Gentian contains xanthones. Alot of information has been published
lately about how clinical studies and lab research has shown that
xanthone compounds have been found to exhibit the following beneficial
activities and actions:
Anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, anti-fungal,
anti-viral, anti-cancer, anti-tumor, anti-ulcer, anti-allergic.
SWEET ROOT (Acorus calamus), also known as Calamus, is used to
aid in digestion, especially in the small intestine, and eliminates the growth
of bacteria that often cause flatulence (gas). {80% of digestion occors in
the small intestine.} It has also been used in all nervous complaints,
vertigoes and headaches. Sweet Root also helps stroke problems when
speak is affected, nerve pain, depression and can be applied in the
nostrils for shock or coma.
I wonder if Sweet Root/Calamus is the Calamus mentioned in the Bible,
Exodus xxx 23 and Ezekiel xxvii 19. If so, this is the first recorded history
of this wonderful herb. It is said to have been introduced into Poland by
the Tartars and becameabundant in Germany in 1588. Sweet Root is
common throught Europe and is a Native of Eastern countries being
indigenous to the marshes of the mountains of India.
DANDELION ROOT (Taraxacum officinale), though not occuring
in the southern hemisphere, is at home in all parts of the northern
temparature zone ---- in pastures, meadows and on waste ground and is
so plentiful that farmers everywhere find it a troublesome weed. Though
its flowers are more conspicuous in the earlier months of the summer, it
may be found in bloom and consequently also prolifically dispersing its
seeds, almost throught the year.(Since Dandelion is so plentiful, I
believe God knows we all need it.)
Dandelion contains sodium and since the stomach is a sodium organ we
truly do need this in our diet. It promotes promotes digestion and has
been used for all stomach problems, chronic liver congestion and gall
stones. It is also used to help young children suffering from jaundice. This
herb contains a very balanced mineral profile and is high in pectin and will
help any kidnet problem.
Dandelion contains mucilages which soothe the digestive tract, absorb
toxins from ingested food and regulate the colonies of intestinal bacteria
which produce toxins intended to kill other bacteria as a self-preservation
instrinct.

GINGER (Zingiber officinale) is a native of Asia and is cultivated in
the West Indies, Jamaica and Africa. Ginger has been used for digestion,
bloating, colitis, diverticulitis, flatulence (gas), diarrhea and loss of
appetite. It is an excellent remedy for motion sickness and stimulates the
secretion of digestive fluids. The constituents of Ginger include lecithins
and a proteolytic enzyme and is high in potassium. The Chinese add
Ginger to meat dishes to "detoxify" the meat.
One very interesting experimental study showed that 28 patients with
rheumatoid arthritis who had been taking powdered Ginger for a period
ranging from 3 months to 2 1/2 years experienced relief from pain and
swelling. It has been found that Ginger prevents a rise in serum and
hepatic cholesterol levels that occur from cholesterol-rich diets.
Ginger is also used to restored circulation to the reproductive area,
especially for females, and helps with pelvic tenderness and pain.
It should be obvious by now that everyone who eats
"cooked" food should take Herbal Nutritional
Supplements DI-2-M daily.
