Your health and well-being depends on how well your body removes and purges toxins. With exposure to environmental toxins, toxic body care products and processed foods, the majority of people are in desperate need of a serious detox. A liver cleanse is a great way to do this. One of the main ways that the body rids itself of toxins is through the liver. In fact, the liver is one of the hardest working organs in the body. It works tirelessly to detoxify our blood; produce the bile needed to digest fat; break down hormones; and store essential vitamins, minerals and iron. When liver function is not optimal, we cannot digest our food properly, especially fats. Some of the essential functions of the liver include: Processing nutrients absorbed by the intestines...

What is High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)? Being a combination of systolic and diastolic pressure, systolic pressure represents blood force, or pressure, while the heart is beating and diastolic pressure stands for blood pressure when the heart is at rest. Systolic pressure is always the first or top measurement in a blood pressure reading. In a reading of 130/80, 130 represents systolic pressure and 80 represents diastolic pressure. In prehypertension, systolic numbers range from 120–129 and diastolic numbers are less than 80.   Blood pressure ranges include:  Normal: Less than 120/80 mm Hg Prehypertension: Systolic between 120–129 and diastolic less than 80 Stage 1 high blood pressure: Systolic between 130–139 or diastolic between 80–89 Stage 2 high blood pressure: Systolic at least 140 or diastolic at least 90 mm Hg High blood pressure happens when the pressure on the arteries...

Heart problems such as atrial fibriliation, arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms), high or low blood pressure, angina (heart pain) and tremors are mostly treated with pharmaceutical drugs known as Beta Blockers and Calcium Channel Blockers. Beta Blockers act by blocking adrenaline receptors (norepinephrine and epinephrine) from attaching to the beta receptors located on the nerves.  Their actions then primarily reduce blood pressure by dilating blood vessels. However, they can also act to constrict air passages by stimulating the muscles that surround the air passages to contract (this is considered an adverse side effect of the drug). From a traditional medical perspective, there are quite a few really effective and safe herbs that can be of benefit to help strengthen and normalize the action of the heart.  Four of...

In Captain Cook’s 1768 recount of his voyage in the Southern Seas, he wrote of his discovery of an intoxicating ceremonial drink prepared from Piper methysticum (better known as Kava): “the Kava first causes a numbing and then astringent effect in the mouth.  This is then followed by a relaxed, sociable state where the muscles are relaxed from the drink and fatigue and anxiety are lessened.  Eventually a deep, relaxing sleep arrives and the person that has had the kava awakes refreshed and without a hangover or any after-effects of the herb.” Given the proven anxiolytic activities of Kava root, it is most commonly used to calm anxiety, stress, restlessness and treat insomnia. It’s also used for the treatment of ADHD symptoms, epilepsy, psychosis, depression, migraines and...
