HUNTINGTON -- Madison Reed, owner of the New Earth Resource Co. at 826 10th St., said that there are plenty of people who'd like to try herbal supplements, but they simply don't know where to start.
He suggested a few of his favorite or most popular herbs in from his Huntington shop.
TURMERIC ROOT: "This has properties that can reduce inflammation anywhere in the body as well as, if not better than, Prednisone or other inflammation-reducing drugs. Plus, in South Korean medical studies, curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric root, has been shown to reduce beta amyloid plaque in the brains of Alzheimer's patients and help it cross the blood-brain barrier."
CINNAMON BARK: "If it's really good cinnamon bark. It tastes delicious, so you can use the powdered cinnamon bark in teas and it helps to balance and regulate insulin. So it's very good for people with diabetes."
SCULLCAP: "This will, without interfering with motor coordination, put you in a serene state, where you're not nervous, and you just feel wonderful. But it's not a drug effect, it's not addictive. A lot of times, I mix it with a little spearmint leaf, to give it a bit more taste."
UVA URSI AND USNEA LICHEN: "What's wonderful about this is that someone can drink this and very, very quickly wipe out a urinary tract infection. I know that it works better than cranberry. The old cranberry recommendation for UTIs isn't as effective. Typically, people make the mistake of getting the cranberry with sugar or some sort of corn sweetener, and that can just irritate their urinary tract infections."
More information about these herbs and many others is available by calling Reed at (304) 697-4421.
