Broccoli is a member of the cabbage family, and is closely related to cauliflower. Its cultivation originated in Italy. Broccolo, its Italian name, means “cabbage sprout.” Because of its different components, broccoli provides a range of tastes and textures, from soft and flowery (the floret) to fibrous and crunchy (the stem and stalk). Broccoli contains glucosinolates, phytochemicals which break down to compounds called indoles and isothiocyanates (such as sulphoraphane). Broccoli also contains the carotenoid, lutein. Broccoli is an excellent source of the vitamins K, C, and A, as well as folate and fiber. Broccoli is a very good source of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and the vitamins B6 and E.

Or a treatment for depression in our local park? This is the secret power of herbal medicine that the pharmaceutical industry does not want you to know!

Definition:
Medicinal plants are plants known for their medicinal benefits and used to treat and prevent disease. You are probably familiar with St John’s Wort used to treat depression or Passion flower for the treatment of anxiety.

National Geographic estimate that there are around 80,000 medicinal plants worldwide. Medicinal plants are ’prescriptions from Nature’. 

We have a wealth of archeological evidence showing that medicinal plants have been used for thousands of years. China and India are renowned for their use of medicinal plants with traditions dating back thousands of years.

Chemistry
The fundamental physical nature of herbal medicine is chemical. Plant chemicals are called phy-to-chemicals. The active chemical of each herb are different. Chamomile contains Volatile oil which evaporate on contact with the air. This oil inhibits the spread of bacteria giving chamomile its anti-inflamatory action. St John’s wort contains hypericin, which helps in the production of dopamine and serotonin, giving St Johns Wort it anti-depressant action.

 
The actual healing power of a medicinal plant results from the synergy of numerous chemicals interacting within the plant. Herbal medicine is scientific without being reductionist. Pharmaceutical companies believe by extracting these chemicals individually they harness the power of the medicinal plant, but this is not the case. The real power of the plant is in its synergy. Synergy means working together – the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
