Herbal Nutritional Supplements

Several herbs are rich in minerals, vitamins and essential nutrients that can be taken as daily nutritional supplements. It is important to note, however, that when you buy them, make sure that you are buying the real herb, and not a hard tablet containing very little of the herb.

The best herbal nutritional supplements contain the shredded or ground herb, and are found in gel capsules. You can actually open the capsule and make ointments or salves using the ground herb inside.

Kelp is one herb that makes an excellent daily supplement, and is particularly effective for females to use during their menstrual periods. Kelp is rich in potassium, iodine, and iron, which are important during menstruation. It also contains several other essential minerals and vitamins, including magnesium, calcium, and B-complex vitamins.

Because it is a natural source of iodine, Kelp can help to regulate the thyroid gland, resulting in an improved metabolism and increased energy. It is also fairly high in salt, however, so you may want to adjust your dosage, depending on your body's sensitivity to salt.

Chlorophyll, which is considered the "life blood" of plants, contains a vast array of essential nutrients that are quickly and easily assimilated by the body. It can help to regulate the blood sugar levels in your body, and it also regulates the calcium in your blood. Chlorophyll accelerates cell and tissue regrowth and inhibits the growth of bacteria, allowing your body to heal faster.

Chlorophyll eliminates the mucus in your bowel and helps to restore damaged bowel tissue. It also purifies the liver and helps to stimulate bile movement. On top of all of this, Chlorophyll reduces bad breath and body odor as well.

You can purchase Chlorophyll in pill form, or as a tea or liquid extract. Parsley and Alfalfa are two herbs that are high in Chlorophyll.

Eat more natural, healthy foods

Now, what should we eat more of? Well, we should eat more of the things that promote health. How's that for an incredibly unique idea?! Again, I'm not trying to take credit for this, as I'm not the first one to think of this by any means. There are many other people (on whom I've based my work) who deserve credit for this.

What should we eat more of? The things that promote health, such as raw vegetables and raw fruits. Blanched or cooked vegetables are fine too. I'm just talking about things from nature -- the root vegetables, nuts, seeds, healthy oils, sea vegetables. If you're going to eat meat, it should be organic, free range meat, and only in strictly limited quantities. Free range eggs are good. They’re much better than eggs from the standard imprisoned chickens that we get in the common grocery stores.

Asthma explained by common allergy to milk and dairy products

The link between asthma and cows' milk is familiar to many young asthma sufferers and their parents. I first became aware of the connection through my cousin's experiences with his four-year-old son. Since infancy, my cousin's son has experienced severe asthma attacks and has been hospitalized twice for asthma-related pneumonia. When his asthma attacks become more frequent or more severe, my cousin and his wife respond by temporarily eliminating milk and milk products from his diet, and it usually works. I always assumed that milk worsened his asthma by stimulating mucus production in his lungs. However, studies suggest that, either along with or instead of creating excess mucus, milk may worsen asthma due to an undiagnosed milk allergy.
