Herbal remedies for maintaining good health

Heart - If you are still experiencing cardio related problems even while already taking a blood pressure medication, a product called Taurine may be what you are looking for. Taurine is a natural occuring amino acid in the body that is not produced as abundantly as you age. It is found in the heart and the brain. In the majority of studies, when 5 grams or more of taurine were administered to participants having chest pains as a result from heart tissue damage from previous strokes, high pulse, or high caffeine intake, the pain was compensated for and safer levels of heart function were produced after 15-20 minutes of ingestion of taurine. There are collected reports that individuals take 5-10 grams of taurine for chest pains related to stress or anticipation of stroke. Stroke victims benefit from regular usage of taurine because it helps repair heart tissue that is not treatable by RX prescriptions. It is not intended to replace an RX or unhealthy habits that affect heart rate and heart health.

Liver - Your liver is responsible for such things as blood filtering and metabolism. Over time, liver tissue can be damage through intake of medicines such as acetaminophen and intake of alcohol. There are only a few ways to speed up recovery of the liver after damage is taken over time from such elements as these without seeking transplants or surgeries. Milk Thistle, as mentioned in many studies collected by individuals who take the supplement, can play an important factor in liver tissue recovery. 500mg - 1 gram of milk thistle everyday can help the liver maintain its natural function against damages caused by everyday consumption of consumer goods including foods that are not organic (pesticides)and medicines. If you have scarred liver tissue or take medicines on a regular basis that can damage the liver over time, milk thistle is a herbal remedy that you should consider.

Brain - For cognitive improvement and performance, a natural herb called "Yerba Mate" is a good additive and alternative for your morning brew or evening relax. Adding a few table spoons to your coffee grounds in the filter will give you an enhanced focus. It can also be used as a standalone brew product or as a tea mix. Yerba mate may also be useful in conjunction with TMG in the start of the day to stimulate better functioning brain cells and facilitate a more productive cycle for tasks requiring quick memory recall and overall cognitive response time improvement.

Kidneys - For kidney health, the perfect herbal remedy is called Astragalus. Astragalus is a natural grown herb that can be used to regenerate kidney tissue as well as remedy back pain caused by kidney damage. In order to achieve back pain relief caused by kidney damage, it is suggested to take 10-20 grams of astragalus each day until the pain is subsided. Regular usage of astragalus can be very benefitial to those who have kidney disease of any stage. Taking astragalus in powder form is a suggested way to administer 10-20 grams, as taking 10-20 1000 miligram capsules may sound like a lot to take. The herb is best taken about 2 weeks to a month in capsule form on a regular basis in 2-3 grams a day after initial recovery of kidney pain is achieved. There are not many supplements including pain relief medicines that will alleviate kidney pain, so astragalus is a #1 recommendation for those with complications related to renal disfunction.

Along with milk thistle, a product known as TMG helps detoxify the liver. TMG which is a naturally concentrated extract from beets, has a noticeable effect as a natural "pick me up". 3-5 grams of TMG each morning to increase energy and help restore liver metabolism is recommended for those who may consume regular alcoholic beverages the night before. It is being used more and more by individuals as a hang over remedy as well as a liver detoxification product.
