Plant Medicine for Hemorrhoids during Pregnancy
Jul 15th
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins that appear in the rectal area. They can sometimes protrude from the anus. They are often itchy or painful and can sometimes rupture and bleed. Hemorrhoids can occur at any age but are normally thought to be more common as people become older, affecting a quarter or half of the adult population. Men and women are equally susceptible. At a simple level, hemorrhoids develop because blood pressure in anorectal veins becomes too large for the walls to resist. Many pregnant women get hemorrhoids while pregnant, especially during the third trimester. Hemorrhoids are more common if the woman is constipated. Three common causes of hemorrhoids are: straining during bowel movements, the strain of excess weight, and the pressure of sitting or standing for long periods of time. If you have had hemorrhoids before pregnancy, you’re more likely to get them again while pregnant. During pregnancy, your growing uterus can increase the pressure on the veins in the lower body.

Bioflavonoids – Vitamins Or Medicine?
May 30th
Bioflavonoids, also known as flavonoids, are not true vitamins and they are sometimes referred to as Vitamin P. The body can not produce bioflavonoids, nor can they be stored in the body, they must be supplied in the diet. At first they were considered vitamins, then medicine, then neither. Vitamin P prevents the tiny holes in the capillary walls from becoming too large and letting viruses through as well as nutrition and allowing the red corpuscles to leak out in hemorrhages. There is no evidence that bioflavonoids are essential for our health or that we develop any deficiency symptoms when we do not have them. However, they are known to enhance the absorption of vitamin C. They are used extensively for athletic injuries because they relieve pain, bumps and bruises. In addition, they have an antibacterial effect and promote circulation, stimulate bile production, lower cholesterol levels and treat cataracts. The potential health benefits of bioflavonoids is that they may help strengthen capillaries , improve immunity, fight cancer and reduce inflammation. There are more than 800 known bioflavonoids, but the most common are hesperidin, rutin and quercetin. Medicinal properties include their potential role in cancer prevention and cardiovascular disease. Hesperidin acts More >
