			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-85" title="yoli-acai-berry" src="http://greenssupplements.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/yoli-acai-berry-150x150.jpg" alt="yoli-acai-berry" width="150" height="150" />There are numerous colon cleansing products but the Acai Berry has been found to be more efficient according to those that use it. Weight loss has also been seen when using this colon cleansing method.</p>
<p>Being lazy and failing to exercise are the common reasons why slim people think those who are fat do not lose weight. Dieticians and medical specialists also believe that day-to-day stresses are also to blame for weight issues. Lots of women notice that having children increases their weight considerably.<span id="more-80"></span></p>
<p>Luckily a new diet for weight loss and colon cleanse is getting fashionable today. It has long been known how effective it is to use red wine or eat Pomegranates to detoxify but this new &#8217;super food&#8217; Acai Berry from the Amazonian rainforest is said to be more beneficial. It is also efficient in losing weight because it has been proven to lessen food cravings and hunger by raising the energy level of the body.</p>
<p>Dr Mehmet Oz was the first to introduce the colon cleansing benefits of this berry of the Oprah Winfrey show. Dr Oz stated that only a small percentage of the US population were employing organic products to improve their lives, but his belief in the product motivated many people to use it saying that the US Health Society is one of the best around.</p>
<p>As a technique to slim down, colon cleansing using Acai Berries is very efficient, according to Dr Oz. Those undesirable pounds around our midsections are from years of fecal waste being accumulated and afterwards trapped in our large intestines &#8211; according to Dr Oz. These poisons cannot be removed by the body using a normal exercise routine that’s why colon cleansing is necessary if you want this to be removed from your system.</p>
<p>Assorted vitamins and minerals, essential to our health are held in large amounts within the acai berries, according to scientific investigation. Especially harvested in Brazil, they taste like a garish blend of fruits and chocolates. They have a royal purple color and are packed with anti-oxidants, essential fatty acids and amino acids.</p>
<p>Acai berries are also rich in Vitamin B complex, minerals, natural fibers, protein plus omega 3 and omega 9 healthy fatty acids.</p>
<p>The reduction of cholesterol and blood pressure level are just two of the advantages of getting rid of this undigested fecal matter, but the removal of other toxins and excess body weight are also a consequence of increased energy levels and a decrease in appetite by the user.</p>
<p>The result is a feeling of greater vitality and feeling of well-being, according to users who have included the consumption of these berries in their normal diet program. Being slimmer is, naturally, another benefit that has not gone unnoticed.</p>

It was commonly used by many Native American tribes who called it “sacred bark” and shared their medicine with Europeans.<span id="more-25"></span></p>
<p>Cascara sagrada was historically introduced to Europeans by Eli Lilly &amp;Company, who marketed “Elixir Purgans”, a laxative which had cascara as an ingredient along with other herbs.</p>
<p>Currently, numerous popular laxatives incorporate cascara sagrada. In order to exploit the laxative properties of cascara sagrada, the bark has to be cured for at least a year. The process can be expedited by heating or dehydrating. The curing process is integral to neutralize the properties of cascara sagrada that can inflame the stomach or bowels.</p>
<p>Cascara sagrada, when properly treated, is considered to be very safe and effectual by most doctors or healers.</p>
<p><strong>Health Benefits of Cascara Sagrada</strong></p>
<p>The efficacy of cascara sagrada as a laxative has been demonstrated many times. When properly treated and used under the supervision of a healthcare professional, it can soothe constipation. Cascara is so gentle that even the elderly can take it, and it can treat the constipation that can be a result of complications of surgery (through averting the stress and pain that accompany anal fissures or hemorrhoids). However, the herb hasn’t been thoroughly tested, and so other benefits may not be known.</p>
<p><strong>Dosage Recommendation</strong></p>
<p>Every individual interacts with laxatives differently, so start with the smallest possible dose, and it is important that it is always taken with a lot of water. To treat constipation or other maladies like hemorrhoids, take one teaspoon of liquid essence three times a day or 1-2 teaspoons before going to bed; or take 1 to 2 pills of dehydrated bark before going to bed.</p>

No scientific evidence supports its effectiveness, but Anglica has been used in oriental medicine to treat these symptoms for centuries.<span id="more-21"></span></p>
<p>This herb is primarily used to relieve reproductive problems in females. In particular, treatment includes lowering menopausal symptoms, regulating cycles, and relieving menstrual cramps. There is no scientific evidence to support angelica’s effectiveness in treating reproductive problems.</p>
<p>Oriental medicine often combines Chinese angelica root with various other herbs to provide treatment for conditions such as high blood pressure, arthritis, allergies, and asthma. Limited evidence supports angelica’s ability to increase immune system function; this suggests why the root is effective in treating allergies. It also may possess anti-inflammatory properties, suggesting possible benefits when treating conditions including asthma and arthritis. Angelic root may possibly relax blood vessels because of one of the chemical it contains. This may make it effective in lowering high blood pressure.</p>
<p>Additional research is necessary to determine and validate angelica root’s medicinal value.</p>
<p><strong>Ingredients and Constituents of Chinese angelica</strong></p>
<ul type="square">
<li>Resin</li>
<li>Volatile Oil</li>
<li>Valerianic acid</li>
<li>Coumarins</li>
<li>Tannins</li>
<li>Vitamin A</li>
<li>Vitamin B</li>
<li>Bitter iridoids</li>
<li>Bergapten</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Dosage Recommendations</strong></p>
<p>Women take up to 3-4 grams daily. Angelic root can be ingested in powder form in tea, through tinctures, tablets, and capsules.</p>
<p><strong>Possible Side Effects</strong></p>
<p>Those who regularly take Chinese angelic root should avoid large amounts of ultraviolet radiation and sun exposure. It is thought to have very low toxicity, but should not be used by women who are pregnant or nursing.</p>

The plant was originally acquired from Socotra, a island located in the Indian Ocean. Aloe was used for remedial purposes in the 10th century A.D. by the Patriarch of Jerusalem who suggested it be used by kind Alfred the Great of Britain. Even today, after making the pilgrimage to Mecca, Muslims can place the Aloe plant over their doors as a protection from evil.<span id="more-16"></span></p>
<p><strong>Aloe Vera Benefits</strong></p>
<p>The gel from the inside of the aloe plant’s leaves is used in the United States and worldwide in cosmetics and skin treatments. Europeans use aloe as a laxative and digestion aid. The plant is a green spiny shrub that produces close to 25 leaves, forming an attractive rosette appearance.</p>
<p>Aloe contains a component that acts against viruses such as the flu, chickenpox, and herpes and can also kill bacteria. Aloe also stops bowels from absorbing water. This speeds the passage and volume of the bowel’s contents, resulting in a laxative effect.</p>
<p>Aloe Vera possesses external healing properties and speeds the healing of skin injuries such as poison ivy, ulcerations, hives, and burns. Internal healing properties result from its use as a laxative; however, use as a laxative can cause agonizing cramping. Other herbs including senna and sagrada are often used instead.</p>
<p>Conditions such as ulcers and diabetes have also been treated with aloe; there are no definitive clinical studies to prove aloe’s effectiveness in treating these conditions.</p>
<p><strong>Dosage and Administration</strong></p>
<p>To treat constipation, an aloe latex 50-200mg capsule can be ingested once daily for up to ten days.</p>
<p>Stabilized aloe gel in used to treat minor burns. The gel can be applied to the skin up to five times daily. The use of aloe gel on serious burns should only occur under close supervision of a medical professional. To treat inflammatory bowel conditions including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease (refer to precautions below), take two tablespoons, or 30 ml, three times daily. Using aloe to treat diabetes must be done only under medical supervision. Clinical trials have used one tablespoon, or 15 ml, of aloe juice two times a day to treat type 2 diabetes.</p>
