[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.

THE MAKER
Acure is a family owned and operated company founded on sustainable principles to provide the highest quality fair trade, natural and certified organic personal care products.

Kristy Guerra founded Acure as a way to honor her grandmother, who battled breast cancer for over 10 years. She wanted to help raise money for breast cancer research and awareness while also providing products that promote healthful living and a greener planet.

Acure is founded on three principles:

1. Acure For Your Skin – All Acure products are made from the purest, fair trade, natural and certified organic ingredients. Simplicity is the key to their product formulations. In keeping each ingredient as close to its natural state as possible, Acure delivers products that provide visible, more potent results.

2. Acure For The Planet – Sustainability impacts every decision Acure makes. All packaging is recyclable and made from PET, the safest and most widely recyclable material. All boxes are FSC certified with 80% recycled material, 20% sustainably harvested material. All Acure products are biodegradable and will not pollute our waterways once they wash down the drain.

3. Acure for A Cure – In addition to the Soap Hope profit investment program, for each product sold Acure donates one dollar to partner charities that help fight breast cancer. Each day, women are bombarded by harmful chemicals in cosmetic products. Some of these, such as parabens (one of the most widely used preservatives in conventional personal care products), have been directly linked to breast cancer. Acure Organics wants to help eliminate exposure to toxic chemicals in cosmetics and help educate them on the benefits of food-grade, organic ingredients.

Acure is a full line of Body Care and Skin Care products made from all-natural, fair trade certified, and organic ingredients. All products are free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, petrochemicals, and animal by-products.

THE MISSION OF SOAP HOPE
Soap Hope’s mission is to invest in every woman in the world who wants the opportunity to support herself. We started Soap Hope with a simple idea: provide healthful, wholesome, top-of-the-line products to customers – then use all the profits to help women in need at home and around the world. That’s why we invest EVERY dollar of profit into an institution or program dedicated to ending poverty for women. After those profits have spent a year in service, the money is returned to Soap Hope. It’s a nonprofit mission that for-profit businesses can establish. It’s called Good Returns.
