[What is Andrographis?]

Andrographis paniculata is a bitter tasting annual plant, referred to as the “King of Bitters.” It has white-purple flowers and it is native to Asia and India where it has been valued for centuries for its numerous medicinal benefits. Over the past decade, andrographis has become popular in America where it is often used alone and in combination with other herbs for a variety of health purposes.

[How does it work?]

According to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the active ingredient in andrographis is andrographolides. Due to the andrographolides, andrographis has potent anti-inflammatory and antimalarial properties. It also has antimicrobial properties, meaning it can help to fight off and prevent infections from harmful microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria and fungi. In addition, andrographis is a powerful antioxidant and it can help to prevent free radical induced damage to your cells and DNA

[Function]

Cold and Flu

Scientists have discovered that andrographis helps to boost the immune system by stimulating the body’s production of antibodies and macrophages, which are large white blood cells that scavenge harmful microorganisms. It is taken for both the prevention and treatment of the common cold, and it is often referred to as Indian echinacea. It might help lessen the severity of cold symptoms such as sleeplessness, fever, nasal drainage and sore throat.

Cancer, Viral Infections and Heart Health

Andrographis may also help to prevent and treat cancer, and preliminary studies done in test tubes found that extracts of andrographis help to treat stomach, skin, prostate and breast cancer. Due to the herb’s antiviral properties, andrographis is used to treat herpes and it is also currently being studied as a treatment for Aids and HIV as well. Andrographis also promotes heart health and can help to prevent the formation of blood clots as well as to dissolve already formed blood clots. In addition, the herb relaxes smooth muscles in the walls of blood vessels and thereby helps to reduce high blood pressure.

Additional Benefits

Andrographis is used to promote gallbladder and digestive health. It also helps to support and strengthen the liver and it is used in combination with other herbs in several Ayurvedic formulations to treat liver disorders. Finally, andrographis extracts taken orally have been found to help neutralize the poisonous effects of snake venom.

Dosage and Precautions

The therapeutic dose of andrographis is 400 mg, twice daily, for up to 10 days. Although andrographis is considered safe in humans, the NYU Langone Medical Center warns that animal studies suggest that it may impair fertility. Andrographis may cause unwanted side effects such as headaches, fatigue, allergic reactions, nausea, diarrhea, altered taste and pain in the lymph nodes. It may also interact with certain medications and as with any supplement you should consult your health care practitioner before taking the herb.

Raw Vegan Cheese – How to make Vegan Raw Nut and/or Seed Cheese using acidophilus starter. Make a seed or nut cheese of your choice, or a blend of seeds and nuts.

Instructions for Almond Nut Cheese:

Do the first batch with only a small amount of almonds so that if it doesn’t turn out as you want it, it won’t be a great loss. The art of fermenting may take a little practice to get it right.

You will need:

Raw Almonds,
Acidophilus/lactobacillus
salt
clean water (preferrably distilled, filtered or boiled and then cooled to room temperature)

We use a vegan acidophillus powder, some people make their own by fermenting wheat in water for a few days and using that water called rejuvelac, but that can be dicey and unpredictable.

Soak raw almonds overnight and drain and rinse before blanching. (If you make almond milk you can use the strained solids to make nut cheese, almond milk is also best if you blanch the almonds).

To blanch the almonds pour hot water onto them, enough to cover them. This will loosen the skins and you can just pop them off by squeezing them. Use a small piece of napped cotton for grip if they don’t pop off that easy.

Blend (a high speed blender is the best for this) the almonds and about a half to one teaspoon of salt to each jarful with enough clean water that the batter will be liquid enough to blend.

Once it is blended into a smooth thick batter add 1/4 tsp of acidophillus/lactobaccillus powder and pulse for a few seconds.

Put this batter into clean jars with about 1/3 empty at the top to allow for expansion. Screw on the lid but do not tighten so that fermentation gases can be released.

Put these jars in a warm place, from 80 degrees to mid nineties Fahrenheit, no hotter. Mid eighties to ninety degrees is probably ideal.

Leave them for at least 4 hours then check to see if you see signs of fermentation. That will be tiny bubbles, and the batter will be firming up. If you remove the lid and smell, you should smell a pleasant yeasty smell. Remember to replace the lid straight away when testing. Depending upon temperature, they can be ready from 4-6 or more hours. The cooler the temperature the longer it will take.

Once the bubbles have populated the cheese at least 50% you can put them into room temperature and leave them for the rest of the day or overnight. (room temps of 55 to 70 degrees F). The cheese is ready when it is many tiny bubbles you can see through the glass and it has a pleasant smell and a delicious tang.

Once the cheese is done, tighten the lids and refrigerate. It will last a week or two in the fridge (and even longer depending on various factors). Some people even freeze it, but we haven’t. We have used this cheese in many ways.
