[What is Citrus Aurantium]

Citrus aurantium L, belonging to the family Rutaceae, is widely distributed in China. Zhishi, the Chinese traditional name for Citrus aurantium, has long been a folk medicine in traditional Chinese medicine (TCMto improve indigestion and help stimulate the Qi (energy force).

1. Have the function of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, vasoprotective and anticarcinogenic and cholesterol lowering actions.

2. Have the function of inhibiting following enzymes: Phospholipase A2, lipoxygenase, HMG-CoA reductase and cyclo-oxygenase.

3. Have the function of improving the health of capillaries by reducing the capillary permeability.

Garlic (Allium sativum)
What it’s good for: The pungent and popular bulb is particularly heart-friendly: In several studies, patients with atherosclerosis who took garlic signi-ficantly reduced the plaque in their arteries, says Mark Blumenthal, founder and executive director of the Austin, Texas-based American Botanical Council. “Garlic slightly lowers LDL, or bad cholesterol, and raises HDL, the good type,” he explains. “It also lowers blood pressure and reduces the potential for a stroke, because less plaque means there’s less possibility that pieces will break off from the artery walls and lodge in the brain or heart.”

Ginger (Zingiber officinale)
What it’s good for: As a natural anti- nausea remedy, this flavorful root has few equals. Most of the research shows it to be effective against morning sickness and post-chemotherapy nausea, and in several studies it fared even better than Dramamine in preventing motion sickness.

Oregano (Origanum vulgare)
What it’s good for: Studies show that oregano oil works to fight infections, thanks to two powerful compounds in the plant, thymol and carvacrol. “Oregano can be helpful for traveler’s diarrhea and giardiasisis,” says David Bunting, director of botanical and regulatory affairs at Herb Pharm in Williams, Oregon, “but it’s used primarily for upper respiratory infections. It’s best for short-term, low-grade problems like coughs and colds, but if you don’t feel better after several days, or you develop a high fever, you should definitely see a physician, who may need to prescribe antibiotics.”
Best form and dosage: Oregano essential oil, the most therapeutic form of oregano, is so powerful it can burn your mouth if taken inappropriately, says Glen Nagel, a naturopath and associate professor of botan- ical medicine at Bastyr University, in Seattle. So you’re better off with a product like Herb Pharm’s Oregano Spirits, which combines the essential oil with a liquid extract of oregano.

Sage (Salvia officinalis)
What it’s good for: Sage has long been thought of in traditional herbal medicine as a brain booster wisely, it turns out, since research is adding credibility to this age-old use. In a small British study of healthy adults, participants who took Spanish sage oil capsules consistently performed better on a word-recall test than those in a control group.

Best form and dosage: Alzheimer’s patients should take 30 drops of the liquid extract two to three times a day, Bunting says, as can a healthy person who’s just looking to stay sharp. For sore throats, try some sage tea or gargle with a very diluted solution of the liquid (10 to 20 drops) dissolved in a cup of warm water.
Caveats: In normal doses and in food, there’s no risk. But if you use it long term in amounts much higher than the recommended doses, it can bring on seizures.

Peppermint (Mentha x piperita)
What it’s good for: You’d be hard-pressed to find a better stomach-calming herb than peppermint (hence after-dinner mints). “It’s really good for any kind of digestive upset,” says Bunting. And peppermint oil, which comes in enteric-coated capsules, is one of the most effective natural treatments for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Turmeric (Curcuma longa)
What it’s good for: This staple of Indian cooking is a powerful anti-inflammatory. Some studies suggests it works to ease the pain of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It may also help with other inflammatory conditions, such as tendinitis, and it may even protect your heart, given what we now know about the role of inflammation in heart disease.
