In 1937, a Dutch anthropologist studying the San indigenous people in the Kalahari desert near what is now the South Africa-Namibia border noted that they sucked on the Hoodia plant as a hunger suppressant and thirst quencher. These bushmen did not eat on their two to three-day hunts; instead, they munched on the stem of this succulent to suppress their hunger and thirst. The San people --known for their survival skills, rock art, trance-dancing, and mystic symbiosis with their semi-desert or savannah environment can trace their heritage back some 27,000 years on the basis of rock paintings drawn by their ancestors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSCIENTIFIC FACTS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree decades ago, South African scientists at a government lab called the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research began studying the Hoodia Gordonii plant and noticed that lab animals eating this plant lost weight, but otherwise did well. The Hoodia Gordonii plant is a succulent that grows throughout the semi-arid areas of Southern Africa. It can grow up to six feet tall. It has large, beautiful flowers, but the flowers Extracts from this succulent have been studied in clinical trials. These studies have shown that obese subjects can reduce their caloric intake by 50% to 40%. Significant weight loss has resulted from such a drop in caloric intake. At least one major pharmaceutical company is pursuing intensive studies on this plant. This major company has already invested millions in acquiring a major supply of this plant. It hopes to market a natural product extracted from this plant to treat the epidemic of obesity seen around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBENEFITS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003enatural hunger suppressant. 100% Pure, no additives.

In 1937, a Dutch anthropologist studying the San indigenous people in the Kalahari desert near what is now the South Africa-Namibia border noted that they sucked on the Hoodia plant as a hunger suppressant and thirst quencher. These bushmen did not eat on their two to three-day hunts; instead, they munched on the stem of this succulent to suppress their hunger and thirst. The San people --known for their survival skills, rock art, trance-dancing, and mystic symbiosis with their semi-desert or savannah environment can trace their heritage back some 27,000 years on the basis of rock paintings drawn by their ancestors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSCIENTIFIC FACTS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree decades ago, South African scientists at a government lab called the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research began studying the Hoodia Gordonii plant and noticed that lab animals eating this plant lost weight, but otherwise did well. The Hoodia Gordonii plant is a succulent that grows throughout the semi-arid areas of Southern Africa. It can grow up to six feet tall. It has large, beautiful flowers, but the flowers Extracts from this succulent have been studied in clinical trials. These studies have shown that obese subjects can reduce their caloric intake by 50% to 40%. Significant weight loss has resulted from such a drop in caloric intake.

Relatively small amounts of root (250 mg range) are reported to be active. The plant exerts only minimal alterations in waking consciousness, yet the effects upon the dream state can be profound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow to prepare Silene capensis (Ubulawu)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMethod 1 :\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHalf a teaspoon is mixed with half a cup of water. This is drunk early in the morning upon waking, while the stomach is empty.

Larger amounts will have purgative action, however, there are no fatalities or harmful side effects reported, only good vomiting and cleansing out of the stomach. Small doses over several days will affect even the most insensitive person, so there is no need to take a large amount.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrink it on an empty stomach, and then when you feel hungry, you can eat it. This will give the alkaloids time to travel through your system. The effects will be felt that night. The alkaloids travel quite slowly through the blood system, so they won't get excreted during the day. Before going to sleep, focus on a question you want to be answered by your ancestors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the ancestors will appear in your dream with the answer. This plant is not just used for vivid dreams but as a divination tool. For more insensitive persons, or for people who use other alkaloids or have other alkaloids in their system. A more `clean' person would be more sensitive. The alkaloids from using some over a few days would build up in your system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA personal report from someone who was initiated as a sangoma (traditional healer) says the group he was with used 1\/5 tsp.

In recent years, studies have focused on the most effective form of HCA for maximum therapeutic benefit. What is significant is that a recent Japanese study, using an animal model, indicated that during exercise, the regular use of HCA promotes fat burning and spares carbohydrate utilization at rest, giving garcinia an indication for endurance exercise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Garcinia has also been historically used to treat gastric ulcers.

However, in the near future Fynbos could help curb it, says Dr. Koch Visser of the Department of Biochemistry at Stellenbosch University (SU). In a recent doctoral study at SU, he found that the Fynbos plant, Cyclopia, used to make honeybush tea, may help stop the development of breast cancer. Visser specifically looked at the effect of Cyclopia extracts on breast cancer cells to figure out the possible molecular mechanism behind this effect. He used tissue culture techniques to test the effect of extracts obtained from dried plant material. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"body\"\u003eWith tissue culture, commercially available cancer cells, grown in a laboratory and able to multiply indefinitely, are used for testing. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"body\"\u003eAccording to Visser, tissue culture is particularly useful to figure out molecular mechanisms because it is easier to manipulate. He adds that it also serves as a form of control because researchers at other institutions use the same cells and results are therefore comparable. \"We found that Cyclopia extracts prevent the estrogen-induced growth of breast cancer cells by targeting and inhibiting estrogen receptor subtypes that promote the growth of these cells,\" says Visser. Estrogen, the female hormone, performs its physiological function through these receptor subtypes. \"The fact that Cyclopia extracts target the receptor subtypes sheds light on the possible mechanism by which the extracts regulate the growth of breast cancer cells,\" says Visser. \"I'm particularly excited about the discovery that Cyclopia extracts are absorbed through the digestive tract while remaining nontoxic even at high concentrations. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"body\"\u003eAlso, the extracts do not stimulate the growth of the uterus.\" Visser says this finding is important because several studies have shown that certain drugs used to treat breast cancer increase the risk of cancer of the uterus. \"There's a possibility that this research could offer respite to women who may be diagnosed with breast cancer in the future, especially considering the global need to better understand the development and progression of this disease in order to treat it effectively.\" Visser says Cyclopia, which is freely available and sold commercially as Honeybush, contains active compounds or \"plant estrogens\" that can mimic or counter the effect of our own hormones. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"body\"\u003eHe emphasizes the importance of identifying these active compounds so that intake can be regulated and consumers can know they are using the right dosage of the active ingredients. \"At this stage, it is still too early to say with certainty what the final form of the medicine made from Cyclopia will be and how often it will have to be used,\" Visser says women aged 50 and older may benefit from research on Cyclopia because they have a greater chance of developing breast cancer. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"body\"\u003eThey are also more likely to use hormone replacement therapy because the natural production of estrogen decreases dramatically during menopause, he adds. \"While hormone replacement therapy is usually prescribed for the treatment of symptoms associated with menopause, it can contribute to the development of breast cancer,\" Visser notes that Cyclopia extracts may be used as an alternative to traditional hormone replacement therapy. Although the results of his study seem promising, Visser says that this type of research is still in its infancy. \"We are confident that we are on the right track and that we can contribute to the pool of knowledge about how breast cancer develops,\" Visser says research at other institutions such as the Medical Research Council, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, North-West University, and the University of the Western Cape has shown that Cyclopia extracts may also help against skin, liver, and esophagus cancer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Medicoherbs Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37604764909726,"sku":"hbteauk","price":89.99,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0531\/9091\/8302\/products\/honeybushtea.jpg?v=1612617368"},{"product_id":"rooibos-redbush-tea-aspalathus-linearis-50g","title":"Rooibos-Redbush Tea (Aspalathus Linearis) 50g","description":"\u003cp\u003eRooibos is the substitute for teas and coffee.

A European standardized extract of milk thistle was used in most of the trials. Problems in study design (such as small numbers of participants, variations in the causes of liver disease, and differences in dosing and duration of milk thistle therapy) made it difficult to draw any definitive conclusions. However, five of seven studies evaluating milk thistle for the alcoholic liver disease found significant improvements in liver function. Those with the mildest form of the disease appeared to improve the most. Milk thistle was less effective for those with severe liver disease such as cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is characterized by scarring and permanent, non-reversible damage to the liver.
