Natural Remedies For Gas
Dandelion 1. Few people realize that this weed actually has health benefits but it is actually one of the best natural remedies for gas. The recommended way of using dandelion is to make a tea by boiling its leaves and drinking the tea before eating. You can also use it as a herb to season your dishes.
2. Caraway Seeds. These spices are excellent for counteracting the effects of gas-producing foods. So if you plan on cooking meals that are known to cause bloating, simply add some caraway seeds to it and you won’t have to worry about gas afterwards.
Cancer fighting Herbs
Linseed, Flax
Grown as a food crop in temperate climates, linseed, or fax, is a valuable and readily available dietary supplement. Partly as a result of its highphytoestrogen content, linseed appears to have important cancer-preventative activity, particularly against estrogen-dependent cancers such as breast cancer. it is thought to reduce re-absorption of estrogens within the colon, and is likely to prove useful in the treatment of colon cancer. in the above conditions, use linseed only after consulting your doctor or herbal practitioner.
Pomegranate
Recent research has focused on pomegranate juice as a preventative for prostate and colon cancer, and as a support for a healthy heart and circulation.
With its very high levels ofpolyphenols , pomegranate juice clearly has powerful antioxidant activity. This makes the juice a valuable supplement to help prevent cancer development. The antioxidants also aid heart function and arterial health.
