Cilantro is a phenomenal herb that is packed with vitamins A, K, & C, minerals such as iron, calcium,
and magnesium, and has more antioxidants than most fruits or vegetables. Cilantro is a remarkable
heavy-metal detoxifier and is able to remove mercury and aluminum from where it is stored in
the adipose (fat) tissues. Cilantro is also able to mobilize mercury rapidly from the brain and
central nervous system by separating it from the fat tissue and moving into the blood & lymph
where when combined with a blue green algae such as spirulina it can be removed safely and
effectively from the body. Cilantro & blue green algae used together is a winning combination and a
natural miracle that has given tremendous relief to those suffering from mercury poisoning & toxicity.
Cilantro also contains an anti-bacterial compound called dodecenal which has the ability to kill
salmonella bacteria and prevent salmonella poisoning. Cilantro is highly beneficial for Alzheimer’s
disease, Parkinson’s disease, Arthritis, Diabetes, Viral and Bacterial Infections, Hepatitis, Colitis,
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders, Autism, Tourette Syndrome, Infertility, and Bell’s Palsy. Cilantro is
also very helpful with autoimmune disorders such as Fibromyalgia, Addison’s Disease, Guillain-Barre
syndrome, IBS, Multiple Sclerosis, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Cilantro is known to support the
stomach, spleen, adrenals, thyroid, pancreas, bladder, and lungs. It is also highly beneficial in reducing
LDL (bad) cholesterol and raising HDL (good) cholesterol. Cilantro is often juiced with celery and
apples for a medicinal and healing drink. Juicing cilantro is one of the most effective ways to get at
least one bunch or more of cilantro in you a day. Cilantro can also be added to smoothies, salsas,
salads, guacamole, soups, pesto, tomatoes, beans, and veggie dishes. If the green flavor of cilantro
does not appeal to you, yet you still want to receive its health benefits, consider using cilantro tincture
or extract which can be found online or at your local health food store.

The root is most often available in dried form, either whole or sliced. Ginseng leaf, although not as
highly prized, is sometimes also used. In Korea, ginseng-infused tea and liquor, each called insamcha
(lit. "ginseng tea") and insamju ("ginseng liquor") is consumed.
Since American ginseng was originally imported into China via a subtropical seaport, Chinese doctors
believed American ginseng must be good for yang, because it came from a hot area. They did not
know, however, that American ginseng can only grow in temperate regions. Nonetheless, the root is
legitimately classified as more yin because it generates fluids.[3]
Ginseng may be included in energy drinks or herbal teas (in small amounts) or sold as a dietary
supplement.[5]

Lower blood sugar naturally with common herbs and spices

Lower blood sugar naturally with common herbs and spices
In recent years it has been found that maintaining normal blood sugar levels can help people lose weight and maintain their
weight loss. This is the basic principal behind many popular diets that use the glycemic index where you choose foods by their
potential to raise or lower blood sugar levels. Maintaining healthy blood sugar levels is also important for the health of the liver,
adrenal glands and pancreas, all vital organs which have to work harder when blood sugar constantly rises and falls. Some
dangers of out-of-control blood sugar levels include developing type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease.
Why Blood Sugar Rises and Drops
Blood sugar, also known as blood glucose, is created in the body from food and used for energy. When foods high in sugar or
glucose, such as simple carbohydrates or sugary foods, go through the digestion process, it is turned into blood sugar and stored
in cells for energy. If too much blood sugar is made, excess is also stored in the liver and muscles or turned into body fat. When
too much blood sugar is in the system, the pancreas releases the hormone insulin to regulate the blood sugar. When blood sugar
is low in the body then the pancreas releases the hormone glucagon to help release glucose stored in the liver.
If a person’s diet is filled with carbohydrates and sugary foods, the body is always working hard to balance out the blood sugar
levels. Even healthy foods like fresh-squeezed fruit juice or some fruits can cause blood sugar to rise. Eating a balanced diet of
protein, healthy fats and carbohydrates is the best way to maintain a healthy blood sugar level to keep vital organs healthy and
maintain a healthy weight.
Maintaining Blood Sugar Levels with Herbs and Spices
For non-diabetic people trying to maintain their blood sugar levels to stay healthy or lose weight, researchers found flavoring
foods with some herbs and spices can actually help control blood sugar. For thousands of years some of these herbs and spices
were used to treat diabetes, and a recent study from the University of Georgia found this to still be true today. Not only were the
24 different herbs and spices tested found to lower blood sugar, but they also added antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties
to the diet. These herbs and spices also lower the amount of cardiovascular damage caused to the body from diabetes and aging.
Adding herbs and spices to flavor foods is a safe way to maintain blood sugar levels. Spices and herbs are low in calories and can
be added to almost any foods. When used in place of high-fat toppings such as butter or creamy sauces, spices and herbs are an
easy way to lower calories in many dishes. The researchers believe that people can double or triple the medicinal value of their
food by adding spices and herbs. The spices and herbs that lower blood sugar levels include:
Allspice , Apple Pie Spice, Cinnamon, Cloves, Ginger, Nutmeg, Pumpkin Pie Spice, Basil, Bay Leaf, Black Pepper, Celery Seed, Chili
Powder, Cumin, Curry Powder, Garam Masala, Marjoram, Mint, Oregano, Parsley, Rosemary, Sage, Tarragon, Thyme, Turmeric
These spices and herbs are easily found in almost any food store. The researchers suggest adding these spices liberally to a
healthy diet of lean meat, whole grains, low-fat dairy, fruits and vegetables.
Adding spices and herbs to the diet is healthy for anyone who wishes to lower blood sugar levels either for weight loss or other
health problems. For diabetics, it is best to speak to a doctor before making any changes to the diet.
