See book keywords and concepts |  Good herbs to include are sage, rosemary, cayenne, echinacea, goldenseal, red clover, astragalus, and burdock root. Beneficial bacteria, such as those found in yogurt, or supplements of lactobacillus and acidophilus, support the digestive processes necessary for the maintenance of the immune system. Other nutrients that directly enhance the immune system include garlic, quercetin, zinc gluconate, buffered vitamin C, and beta carotene or vitamin A. In addition, 500 mg of the amino acid L-lysine, taken 2 to 4 times a day, can produce excellent results. | | Clinical Observation on the Treatment of Ischemic Heart Disease with astragalus Membranaceus], Chung Kuo Chung Hsi I Chieh Ho Tsa Chih 15, no. 3 (February 1995): 177-80.
ACUPUNCTURE
Results of a study showed that auricular acupuncture had a 100 percent short-term blood-pressure-lowering effect in 30 patients suffering from hypertension.

F3, a form of carbohydrate derived from the traditional Chinese medicinal herb astragalus membranous, was shown to have a beneficial effect on chronic fatigue syndrome patients by enhancing natural killer cell activity.
D.T. Chu et al., "The Effect of F3 on Natural Killer (NK) Cell Activity in the Patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)," Proc. Annu. Meet. Am. Assoc. Cancer Res. 35 (1994): A3074.
HOMEOPATHY
Remedies for fatigue include gelsemium (yellow jasmine), kaliphosphoricum, arsenicum album, Pulsatilla (wind flower), and sulphur. | | Substances that have shown promise in combating CFS include malic acid (extracted from apples); magnesium sulfate and magnesium chloride; broad-spectrum amino acid preparations; vitamins B6 and Bl; high-dose immunoglobulin therapy; essential fatty acid supplementation; potassium and magnesium aspartates; evening primrose oil; licorice, which seems to increase the glucocorticol hormone activity that is deficient in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome; and an extract of the traditional Chinese medicinal herb astragalus membranous, which enhances natural killer cell activity. (See below. | | An excellent old Chinese recipe for an immune-enhancing soup combines a whole astragalus root with onions, garlic, ginger, and either free-range chicken, fish, tofu or tempeh. Some fresh green vegetables and a handful of brown rice are added to that. The soup is brought to a boil and then simmered. Some miso is added for flavor. This is highly nourishing, easy to digest, and excellent for helping a weakened individual regain strength.
"Drink plenty of pure water daily. In colder seasons, unsweetened herb tea, such as immune-supportive echinacea tea, is a very good source of liquids. |
Rudolph M. Ballentine, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Ayurvedic medicine excels in the area of rejuvenatives, such as ashwagandha and chavanprash, while Chinese medicine is especially rich in adaptogens and remedies that tonify such as ginseng, astragalus, and fo ti.25 As a result, these Eastern traditions offer a wealth of herbs for maintaining strength and vitality even into the later years of life. |
James Green
See book keywords and concepts |  Decoction, from the Latin decoquere, meaning to boil down or away, is normally reserved for herbs that will not yield their active virtues at a lower temperature and for situations in which no loss of volatile principles need be feared (for example, with Fenugreek seed, astragalus, Sarsaparilla, or Licorice). The object of preparing decoctions is to secure, in aqueous solution, the soluble active principles of herbs that are hard and woody and have a close, dense texture. Their tissues are softened more readily by boiling than by merely steeping in hot water, and are not injured by heat. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Immune-building herbs include aloe vera, astragalus, echinacea, Panax ginseng, larch tree extract, maitake mushroom, noni, and nettle. Antimicrobial herbs include grapefruit seed extract, garlic, lomatium, goldenseal, licorice, myrrh, yarrow, olive leaf extract, and St. John's wort. For fatigue, try Panax ginseng, Siberian ginseng, suma, and oatstraw.
• Acupuncture can help to strengthen and simultaneously desensitize, normalize, and regulate the immune system.
• Ayurvedic medicine treats CFS by improving digestion and eliminating toxins and allergies. | | Research results with astragalus and many other Chinese herbs provide a scientific understanding of what each herb may do in the body," Dr. Ni says. "What defines mastery in traditional Chinese medicine, though, is the ability of the practitioner to formulate complex combinations of various herbs for a collective purpose. The herbal formulation is often different for every patient due toTCM's personalized objective.That is the beauty of traditional Chinese medicine—to tailor the treatment to each individual patient's needs. | | Woodbridge, New Jersey, recommends echinacea, astragalus root, goldenseal root, and Pfaffia panicuiata (suma or Brazilian ginseng), a Brazilian herb that numerous studies prove is effective and safe for treating weakened immune systems.17
One of Dr. Braly s favorite herbs is cayenne pepper. "Its active ingredient is capsaicin, which is a strong antiinflammatory agent," he says. "This makes cayenne a particularly effective remedy for treating allergies, especially as it is also very inexpensive and readily available." Dr. | | In China, Fu Zheng cancer therapy relies upon ginseng and astragalus, among other herbs.The Journal of the American Medical Association reported that life expectancy doubled for patients with rapidly advancing cancers when Chinese herbs were added to their treatment phn.JAMA noted that, in general, "patients who received Fu Zheng therapy survived longer and tolerated their treatment better than those patients who were treated by Western medicine alone. | | D, President Emeritus of Bastyr University, in Kenmore, Washington, recommends: goldenseal (in dosages as above); astragalus (dried root), 5-15 g three times daily; licorice (in dosages as above); and Siberian ginseng, as dried root or as tea, 2-4 g three times daily, as fluid extract (1:1), 2-4 ml (Vi to one teaspoon) three times daily, or as solid extract (20:1), 100-200 mg three times daily.
In the recovery phase of CFS, Dr. Pizzorno recommends: Panax ginseng, as dried root, 1.5-2. |

AIDS A Case Study
The client, LS, was thirty-two years old when he was diagnosed as having the AIDS Related Complex (ARC) in 1983, because of malaise, dizziness, nausea, body aches, extreme fatigue, low-grade fever, diarrhea, persistent swollen lymph nodes, and a history of oral thrush (candidiasis). Cytomegalic blood test was positive. Hepatitis core antibody was positive. He returned to work part time. | | Safe treatment by alternative doctors includes vitamin C, 1000 mg every hour; echinacea, thymus extract, Lomatium disectum, osha root, hypericum, ligustium, and astragalus.
Amino and Fatty Acid Supplements
Supplemental Amino Acids
Vitamins and minerals cannot do their various jobs unless the amino acids are available to make the enzymes, the catalysts of all body functions. About twenty times the quantity of the amino acids are needed for each unit of the vitamins and minerals just to maintain these enzymes. |
Gale Maleskey
See book keywords and concepts |  Along with astragalus, Dr. Lombard recommends 250 milligrams of a standardized extract of echinacea daily for 7 to 10 days with three-week rest intervals between dosage periods. "Echinacea stimulates macrophages, enhances the action of white blood cells, and stimulates the production of immune system-regulating biochemicals," he says. You need to take some time off between dosage periods, however, because echinacea loses its effectiveness after you take it for a while and your body builds a tolerance to it.

See book keywords and concepts |  For those with internal heat, echinacea is fine alone, but for those with coldness or any deficiencies, it works better when combined with panax or Siberian ginseng or astragalus.
Externally, echinacea is excellent for all venomous bites (such as snake, insect and spider), poison oak and ivy, boils, cuts, wounds and other skin infections and for teething. It is even more effective when taken both externally and internally, the more frequently the better, or when combined with other remedies, such as salves, washes, baths and poultices. | | John's wort, peony
Diabetes elecampane, fenugreek, astragalus, codonopsis licorice, Chinese wild yam pueraria. | | Examples include/e««e/, elecampane, angelica, prickly ash, cinnamon, ginseng and astragalus. Overall, cooling herbs have a sour, bitter or salty taste. They are more eliminating in effect. Examples include dandelion, golden seal, red clover and peppermint.
Yang herbs are warming, energizing and circulating. They include hard leaves, twigs, branches, seeds, barks and roots which take a long time to grow and mature. They have little or no volatile oils. Yin herbs are cooling and moistening. They include leaves, flowers, juicy fruits, fast growing roots and tubers. | | Atractylodes is frequently combined with astragalus, licorice, codonopsis, wild yam and ginseng in tea or soup form. | | Ginseng and astragalus are good examples.
Altering Energies
The energy of an herb can be altered somewhat by where it grows, how and when it is picked, and by external applications. These do not change the herb's inherent warm or cool energy but can alter it slightly so that it is warmer or less warm, cooler or less cool than normal. For instance, herbs that grow in cold, northern climates, such as long roots or the barks of trees, tend to be more warming and building in energy. | | John's wort, goldenseal
Ulcers (stomach) cayenne, angelica, wild cherry, astragalus calendula, licorice, slippery elm, lobelia plantain, comfrey, gardenia, goldenseal, St. |

Bee Propolis
Apitherapy refers to the practice of using products obtained from bees such as honey, pollen, beeswax, royal jelly, and propolis for medicinal purposes. Peer review studies have shown that apitherapy is far more than just an ancient folk remedy. Several have demonstrated its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activity. Ethanol extracts of propolis can increase the rate of ossification in cases of artificially induced bone tissue loss. |
