Why Herbal Extracts?

Of the three main extraction methods used to produce herbal remedies, extracts are simply the best. Macerations use solvents which may leave harmful residues in the end product, most tinctures contain alcohol which is a systemic poison. Herbal extracts remove mineral salts and bitter principles through simmering herbs in water for a prolonged period. They contain far higher levels of active ingredients, no alcohol and can be made from hard plant parts unlike infusions. Our herbal extracts are made in small batches from organic ingredients by our fully qualified herbalist. They are also a superior form of supplementation than tablets or capsules, as many of those have artificially made ingredients and contain filers, flowing agents, excipients binding agents and preservatives. Also, they often contain only one active ingredient neglecting the fact that nutrients work synergistically in the body. Our qualified Herbalist uses only our own zero ppm quad filtered distilled water, all equipment used is stainless steel and our herbal extracts are bottled into steam sterilised UV resistant pharmaceutical grade glass bottles, which obviates the need to use preservatives of any kind. Take care not to touch the inside of the neck of bottle or lid against anything or return decanted herbal extracts.

This is an entirely natural additive and preservative free product, do not contaminate the inside of the bottle or lid with a finger, never return decanted extract back into the bottle, store in the fridge after opening. BBE: If unopened 1 year, once opened 6 weeks if refrigerated.

Infections and excesses of yeasts are common in humans in the west. Some 70% of humans have excesses at some point in their lives. Excesses are caused when the commensal bacteria (good helpful bacteria) of the gut are compromised and fail to deal with the yeasts. At night in a healthy individual 2.2 pounds (nearly 1kg) of yeasts are consumed by commensal bacteria. These helpful bacteria can be damaged and their numbers reduced by antibiotics, drugs (especially proton pump inhibitors) and the changing of pH in the gut through consuming too much sugar, salt, pickled food or alcohol. The most damaging effects are though caused by stress. Artemisinin appears to act in two different ways against yeast, one is by attacking the mitochondrial membrane producing free radicals and the other is interfering with ATPs which are dependent calcium transporters within the mitochondria.

Artemisinin is also good at killing parasites. This is because artemisia annua is very affective at killing a group of blood flukes or Schistosomas. These are the second most common parasite in the world after malaria. They are Trematodes and all Trematodes like pin worms, roundworms and more can be killed by Artemisinin.

When killing parasites Artemisinin seems to act on 124 different targets. It is actually a super-herb. It acts in many ways. One of Artemisia annuas properties is its sequiterpenes, which play a huge role in human health as they reduce inflammation and tumour formation. This herb will also disrupt the cell walls of fungi and invasive bacteria. E.coli has now been found present in breast cancer and colon cancer tissue so the anti-microbial action makes Artemisinin a potent caner preventer and high quality research has shown that Artemisinin does infact kill microbes like E.coli and salmonella.

There is clear research that Artemisinin kills cancer cells on its own or especially when bound to iron. Artemisinin reacts with the iron to make free radicals. Cancer cells require a large amount of iron to proliferate. In order to pick up iron they have large numbers of transfirin receptors. Cancer cells are also more susceptible to the cytotoxic effect of the Artemisinin than healthy cells. The research team covalently tagged transfirin to the Artemisinin; the Artemisinin was then picked up in much greater quantities by the cancer cells and large numbers were killed. The conclusion was that transfirin tagged Artemisinin was selectively picked up by cancer cells and this would provide the basis for powerful anti-cancer drugs. Since many cancers are preceded by gut problems leading to frequent, long courses of antibiotics or drugs for recurrent illnesses, Artemisinin is always a herb to consider.

Artemisia annua or sweet wormwood is a powerful herb found from Pakistan to China (where it is called Qinghao su). The highest concentration of active ingredient is found in the leaves, flowers and roots.

Malaria kills over 1 million people each year across the world. Artemisia annua is the most effective treatment especially as the potency of certain drugs has continued to fail. The exact method of action is not yet fully understood but it appears to attack the membranes of the malaria mitochondria.
