DESCRIPTION

OVERVIEW

The adrenal glands are a pair of triangular-shaped organs that rest on top of the kidneys. Each gland normally weighs about 5 grams (slightly less than 1/5 ounce) and is made up of two parts.

The cortex, or outer section, which is responsible for the production of cortisone, cortisol, aldosterone, androstenedione, and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). The adrenal cortex helps to maintain the salt and water balance in the body. It is also involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates and the regulation of blood sugar. In addition, the cortex produces a sex hormone similar to that secreted by the testes.

The medulla, or central section, secretes another hormone, adrenaline (also called epinephrine) and norepinephrine, which functions as both a hormone and a neurotransmitter. When the body is under stress. This hormone speeds up the rate of metabolism and produces other physiologic changes designed to help the body cope with danger ("Fight or Flight Response").

STRESS HORMONES

Adrenaline, cortisol, DHEA, and norepinephrine are the body's four major stress hormones. The highest levels of these hormones are released in the morning and the lowest at night. Cortisol is also involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates and the regulation of blood sugar. Aldosterone helps to maintain electrolyte (salt) and water balance in the body. Androstenedione and DHEA and androgens, hormones that are similar to - and that can be converted into - testosterone. DHEA has been promoted as a cure-all for aging. However, very little is known about the action of DHEA in the body, and while it is available from numerous sources, it is a steroidal hormone and should be used with caution, preferably under a health care provider's supervision. The long-term effect of using DHEA are not known.

MoonDragon's Health Therapy: DHEA Therapy

Adrenaline speeds up the rate of metabolism and produces physiologic changes designed to help the body cope with danger. It is produced when the body is under stress. Under circumstances of extreme stress, large amounts of cortisol are released, which can lead to a host of health problems.

FREQUENT SIGNS & SYMPTOMS

REDUCED ADRENAL FUNCTION

Disorders that are directly related to the adrenal gland include reduced adrenal function, usually referred to as low adrenal reserve. The adrenals still produce enough hormones to maintain a relatively normal state of health, but stressful situations increase the need for hormones that the malfunctioning adrenals cannot produce, leading to anything from fatigue to total collapse. Symptoms of reduced adrenal function can include:

• Weakness.


• Lethargy.


• Dizziness.


• Headaches.


• Memory problems.


• Food cravings.


• Allergies.


• Blood sugar disorders.

ADDISON'S DISEASE

Addison's Disease is a rare condition that may develop when the adrenal cortex is seriously underactive. It is a chronic condition that requires lifelong treatment. Symptoms include:

• Fatigue.


• Loss of Appetite.


• Dizziness or fainting.


• Nausea.


• Moodiness.


• Low blood pressure.


• Diarrhea.


• Depression.


• Craving for salty foods.


• A decrease in the amount of body hair.


• An inability to cope with stress.


• Constant complaints about feeling cold.


• Discoloration and darkening of the skin. Elbows, knees, scars, skin folds, and creases in the palms are more noticeable when these body parts are exposed to the sun. The mouth, vagina and freckles may appear darker.


• Development of bands of pigment running the length of the nails and by darkening of the hair.

The most common type of this disorder is autoimmune Addison's Disease. This comes about when the immune system mistakenly attacks the tissue of the adrenal glands, destroying them. It may be associated with other autoimmune diseases that affect other endocrine glands. The most common of these is hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid). Addison's disease that coexists with hypothyroidism is known as Schmidt's Syndrome. Less commonly, Addison's disease occurs together with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, another autoimmune disease, or insufficiencies of the parathyroid glands and/or gonads, or with pernicious anemia. Addison's disease is a chronic condition that requires lifelong treatment. Fortunately, people with Addison's disease can have a normal life expectancy if they stay on the proper medication as prescribed by an endocrinologist (a specialist in hormonal diseases).

ADRENAL STRESS & FATIGUE

The function of the adrenals is to aid the "flight or fight" response by bringing all your body's resources to "alert" status. When your adrenal glands are healthy and functioning properly, they can instantly increase your heart rate and blood pressure, sharpen your senses, release necessary energy reserves for immediate use, and slow your digestion and other secondary bodily functions. This is considered a healthy response to a stressful, possibly life-threatening or survival situation. The adrenal response will take priority over all of the other bodily functions when it is activated. However, the adrenal response to stress isn't supposed to last very long in duration.

When a person lives with constant stress, unlike those who experience occasional demands followed by rest, relaxation and proper nutrition, the stressed person may develop adrenal stress and fatigue. Today, this is a growing concern since we tend to be over-worked, under-nourished, worried about money and personal problems, exposed to pollutants and toxins in our environment without any relief or down-time for recovery. Our daily challenges may include:

• An overbearing, demanding boss.


• Lack of restful sleep (quality and quantity).


• Fear of job loss or job loss.


• Job commuting pressures, rush hour traffic, road rage.


• Financial difficulties.


• Personal conflicts in relationships (home and/or work).


• Illness or death of a loved one.


• Personal illness, infection or surgery.


• Inadequate nutrition. Skipping meals.


• Unhealthy dieting with weight gain and weight loss cycles.


• Stimulant over-reliance (drugs, caffeine, carbohydrates).


• Digestive problems.


• Over-exercise.


• Unresolved past or present emotional issues.

In its normal function, the adrenals release cortisol, which helps us to work with our challenges by converting proteins into energy, releasing glycogen and counteracting inflammation. This is acceptable for a short time. But at sustained high levels, cortisol gradually tears your body down by destroying healthy muscle and bone; slowing down healing and normal cell replacement; impairs digestive function and metabolism; impairs mental function; interferes with healthy endocrine function and coopts biochemicals needed to make other vital hormones required by the body; and weakens the immune system.

Adrenal dysfunction may be a factor in many related conditions, including fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, premature menopause and others. It may also produce a host of other unpleasant symptoms, from acne to hair loss.

OVERACTIVE ADRENAL CORTEX - CUSHING'S SYNDROME

Cushing's Syndrome is a rare disorder caused by an overactive adrenal cortex and the excessive production of cortisol or by excessive use of cortisol or similar glucocorticoid (steroid) hormones. People with Cushing's Syndrome take on a characteristic appearance:

• Heavy in abdomen and buttocks with very thin limbs, and rounded "moon" faces.


• Muscular weakness and wasting of muscles.


• Round, red marks mimicking acne may appear on face.


• Swollen or puffy looking eyelids.


• Increased growth of body hair. Women may grow mustaches and beards.


• More susceptibility to illness and having trouble healing properly.


• Thinning of skin often leads to stretch marks and bruising.


• Fatigue.


• Mood swings.


• Depression.


• Increased thirst and urination.


• Women may experience the absence of menstrual periods.

If left untreated, Cushing's syndrome may cause extreme muscle weakness, poor skin healing, weakening of the bones that results in osteoporosis and increased susceptibility to serious infections such as pneumonia and tuberculosis.

CAUSES

The functioning ability of the adrenal glands is most often impaired as a result of the extensive use of cortisone therapy for non-endocrine diseases, such as arthritis and asthma. The long-term use of cortisone drugs causes the adrenal gland to shrink in size, and can result in a "Cushinoid" appearance.

Adrenal problems that crop up in later life can be due to heredity. In addition, refined carbohydrates in the diet, such as sugar and white flour, deplete many of the nutrients required for adrenal support, especially the B vitamins. Adrenal enzyme deficiency, vascular spasms, degeneration, trauma, nutritional deficiencies, pituitary disease, tuberculosis, toxic chemical attack, or even exposure to electromagnetic fields can affect the adrenals. Organic chlorine and carbohydrates are suspected agents. Dioxin and fire ant poisons are known agents. Other chemicals that might be involved include tobacco, alcohol, street drugs, heavy metals, coffee, sugar, pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides.



TREATMENT

ADRENAL GLAND FUNCTION SELF-TEST

Normally, systolic blood pressure (the first number in the measurement of blood pressure - 120/80) is approximately 10 points higher when a person is standing than when they are lying down. If the adrenal glands are not functioning properly, however, this may not be the case. Take and compare two blood pressure readings - one while lying down and one while standing. 1. Lie down and rest for five minutes. 2. After five minutes, take your blood pressure. 3. Stand up immediately and take your blood pressure again. If your blood pressure reading is lower after you stand up, suspect reduced adrenal gland function. The degree to which the blood pressure drops upon standing is often proportionate to the degree of hypoadrenalism.

CONSIDERATIONS

A person with Addison's disease must take medication as prescribed and pay careful attention to diet. Nutritional supplements are often recommended.

Treatment of steroid excess involves management of high blood sugar with diet and medication, replacement of potassium, treatment of high blood pressure, early treatment of any infections, adequate calcium intake, and appropriate adjustments in steroid dosages at times of acute illness, surgery, or injury.

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), a hormone released by the pituitary gland when under stress, sets in motion a sequence of biochemical events that results in the activation of substances that raise blood pressure. The presence of this hormone leads to sodium retention and potassium excretion. As a result of this mechanism, stress not only puts strain on the adrenal glands, but may also cause the body to retain water, which can lead to hypertension.

Distress (unresolved stress) is the most important factor in "adrenal burnout," with all its manifestations including immune deficiency and degenerative diseases. Professional help to deal with anger and rage, and to deal with psychological or spiritual issues will help reduce cortisol levels. Any stress-reduction technique that works for you should be pursued.

Decrease your consumption of caffeine and alcohol, as well as your intake of fats, salt, and sugar. If you smoke, stop.

Conventional medical tests may consider cortisol levels within a very broad range as normal, and anything outside that range indicates disease after damage has already occurred such as in Cushing's Disease or Addison's Disease. Within those extremes, a person can feel miserable and still be told their adrenals are normal. Some practitioners may measure cortisol at several points in the day to track the adrenals' day-night pattern (diurnal rhythm) using a panel of simple saliva tests. The ideal outcome from this type of testing is to see cortisol elevated in the morning to help you get up and going in your day, lower but steady throughout the day to sustain energy, then fall in the evening to support restful sleep.

Hyperadrenia: In the early stages of adrenal dysfunction, cortisol levels will be too high during the day and continue rising in the evening.

In the middle stages of adrenal dysfunction, cortisol may rise and fall unevenly as the body struggles to balance itself despite the disruptions of caffeine, carbs and other factors, but levels are not normal and are typically too high at night.

Hypoadrenia: In advanced stages of adrenal dysfunction, when the adrenals are exhausted from overwork, cortisol will never reach normal levels.

HERBAL & HOLISTIC RECOMMENDATIONS

HERBS

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), also known as Winter Cherry, may be helpful. Ashwagandha is similar to ginseng but far less expensive. Ashwagandha was called "Indian Ginseng". Ashwagandha is Ayurvedas superior rejuvenative herb for the muscles, bone marrow and semen. This herb is superior for stress, weakness, tissue deficiency, the elderly, overwork, lack of sleep, nervous exhaustion, sexual debility, problems of old age, loss of memory, loss of muscular energy, insomnia, weak eyes, cough, infertility, glandular swelling. It inhibits ageing and catalyzes the anabolic processes of the body, nurtures and clarifies the mind promoting dreamless sleep. Ashwagandha helps the body adapt to stress, but it also rebuilds the nervous system without stimulating it, a wonderful sleep tonic. In the morning it helps build the immune system and muscular-skeletal systems, both of which are negatively impacted by stress and helps those under stress. Ashwagandha comes in various forms and is an ingredient in many products. The suggested dosage is 1 teaspoon of powder twice a day, boiled in milk or water. Those who are young or especially weak should take a lower dosage. For best results, read and follow product label directions.

ASHWAGANDHA BARK PRODUCTS Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) promotes vitality & strength. Ashwagandha is one of the most highly regarded and commonly used adaptogens in the Ayurvedic pharmacopia. Maximizing the bodies ability to resist stress, it enables the body to reserve and sustain vital energy throughout the day while promoting sound, restful sleep at night. Ashwagandha is a member of the nightshade family, however it should be noted that that unlike other Nightshades, Ashwagandha lacks the poisonous attributes. Typically found and cultivated in India, Ashwagandha has been popularly applied to those with overworked and often hyper-tense lives. Ashwagandha is India's native answer to Ginseng and it is currently being applied in Ayurvedic medicine to treat hypertension and stress related ailments. Recent studies have attempted to popularize its use as a preliminary treatment for male infertility and impotence problems. Recommended in times of strife and stress-induced discomfort. It should not be consumed for long periods of time and best reserved for the "times of need." Ashwagandha may be a mild abortifacient and it is not recommended for pregnant women. Researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center have studied Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera). They found that extracts of the shrub had activity that was similar to GABA, which could explain why the plant is effective in reducing anxiety. Scholars from the University of Leipzig, Germany looked at the effects of Ashwagandha on the brain. The research showed Ashwagandha led to more acetylcholine receptor activity. The scholars concluded that the increase of activity in that particular neurotransmitter could account for the increase in cognitive ability and memory attributed to Ashwagandha. Scholars at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India, conducted research which proves many of the elements of Ashwagandha are antioxidants. The researchers found that Ashwagandha led to larger amounts of three different natural antioxidants: superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase. The antioxidant effect of active principles of Ashwagandha may explain the anti-stress, cognition-facilitating and anti-aging effects produced in clinical situations.

MAGNOLIA VINE BERRIES (Schisandra Berry; Schizandra Fruit) is a Chinese remedy that will increase oxygen absorption and boost the immune system. They coordinate the activities of the internal organs and help control the balance of its body's physiological processes. Schizandra Fruit helps the body adapt to stress and nourishes the nervous system. Schizandra is listed among China's most important herbs. Schizandra is currently popular worldwide as a tonic and in Asia as a food. Use as directed on product label. Pregnant and nursing women should not use Schizandra (it is a uterine stimulant). People who have gallstones or blockages of the bile ducts and those with peptic ulcers, epilepsy and very high blood pressure should also avoid Schizandra. Do not take Schizandra if you have intracranial (in the head) pressure.

SCHIZANDRA FRUIT - SCHISANDRA BERRY - MAGNOLIA VINE BERRIES PRODUCTS Schisandra Berry is considered an adaptogen, in that it normalizes body functions during stressful situations that might alter those functions, helping the body to adapt and return to an overall sense of well-being and increasing the body's resistance to disease and stress. It is also said the Schisandra helps to energize RNA and DNA molecules to rebuild cells. Used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to remedy liver ailments, Schisandra has maintained its fine reputation as a support to strengthen the liver. It is considered a cholagogue, or substance that increases the production of bile in the liver and delivers it to the gastrointestinal tract. It is said to protect against the progression of cirrhosis into liver cancer and also protect the liver from chemical damage, particularly damage from chemicals that have to be activated by the liver to become poisonous, such as carbon tetrachloride. In addition, laboratory studies have demonstrated its ability to make the enzyme, glutathione peroxidase, which deactivates several kinds of toxic free radicals that attack the outer membranes of liver cells. This substance is believed to offset damage done to the liver by chronic viral hepatitis, alchohol and HIV/AIDS. Schisandra contains lignin compounds that are said to lower high levels of glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) in the blood, which is an indication of hepatitis. Further support for the liver comes in the form of another constituent in Schisandra, gomison-A, which blocks the production of inflammation-inducing leukotrienes. Gomison-A helps to prevent liver inflammation and tissue destruction (without compromising the immune system's ability to fight the underlying infection). This substance also helps to stimulate the growth of healthy liver tissue and helps to hasten recovery after liver surgery. Schisandra is thought to balance the body's functions and improve mental function. Active con-stituents help to relieve emotional and physical depression and reverse depression of the central nervous system. The herb is said to reduce fatigue and physical exhaustion, as well as improve stamina and physical performance and increase the body's capacity to work. Moreover, it is also said to help sharpen mental ability and concentration and counter forgetfulness. Animal data suggests that Schisandra increases metabolism via induction of cytochrome P450 and/or glutathione reductase pathway. For thousands of years, Schisandra has been cherished by Chinese women (and men) to combat ageing. Women have utilized it as a tonic to preserve their beauty and maintain youthful skin, and both men and women use it as an aphrodisiac. In men it is also thought to increase sexual stamina. Schisandra is considered a mild sedative that exerts a soothing and quieting effect on the body, and has been helpful in cases of insomnia, stress, dizziness, motion sickness, excessive sweating, headache, heart palpitations, anxiety and other problems associated with emotional stress. Furthermore, Schisandra increases the efficacy of prescription tranquilizers (Valium, Librium, etc.), allowing patients to take lower doses of these potentially addictive drugs. Schisandra is said to improve digestion. The increased bile flow from the liver hastens the digestion of fatty foods and improves utilization of the digested foods, which is thought to relieve many digestive-related disorders, including chronic gastritis, heartburn and indigestion, while it provides a healthy atmosphere for clear, problem-free skin. Considered a kidney tonic, Schisandra is believed to balance bodily fluids, and as such, it is used to treat night sweats, excessiving perspiration, urinary incontinence and the frequent urge to urinate. In contrast, if there is fluid imbalance, Schisandra also helps to promote the production of body fluid when needed and quench thirst. Schisandra is mildly astringent and helps to control diarrhea, spontaneous sweating and dysentery.

St. John's Wort is mainly used for the treatment of mild to moderate depression. It can also be used for chronic insomnia and anxiety related to depression. St. John's Wort may also be effective in relieving seasonal affective disorder (SAD). St. John's Wort extract is usually standardized to the substance hypercin. The recommended dose of St. John's Wort is 300 mg 3 times a day of an extract standardized to contain 0.3 percent hypercin; however, a few new products on the market are standardized to hyperforin content of 2 to 3 percent, instead of hypercin, and should be taken at the same dosage. If the herb bothers you, take it with food. It can take four weeks of usage to receive the full benefits of St. John's Wort.

In the 1970s, scientific human studies were performed on Valerian which lead the German Commission E to approve its use a sleep aid in 1985. This herb works well in treating depression, panic attacks, emotional stress, PMS, menstrual cramps, and despondency. It is also used for hypochondria, nervous headaches, migraine headaches, irritability, hysteria, and mild spasmodic affections. Valerian has been used to treat diarrhea, epilepsy, croup, convulsions, vertigo, nervous cough, delirium, neuralgia, muscle cramps, gas pains, stomach cramps, spasms, palpitations, gas, and colic.

For treating insomnia, the recommended dosage of Valerian Root is 2 to 3 g of dried herb, 270 to 450 mg of an aqueous valerian extract, or 600 mg of an ethanol extract, taken 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime. For the best results, take this herb over an extended period of time. Try the same dosages for treating anxiety, or reduce the dose and take twice daily. Note: These dosages are meant to be used as guidelines. Always read product label directions before use.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Consume plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables (particularly green leafy ones). Brewer's yeast, brown rice, legumes, nuts, olive and safflower seeds, wheat germ, and whole grains are healthy additions to the diet as well.

Eat deep-water ocean fish, salmon, or tuna at least three times a week.

Include in the diet garlic, onions, shiitake mushrooms and pearl barley. These foods contain germanium, a powerful stimulant of the immune system.

Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and tobacco; these substances are highly toxic to the adrenal and other glands.

Stay away from fats, fried foods, ham, pork, highly processed foods, red meats, sodas, sugar, and white flour. These foods put unnecessary stress on the adrenal glands.

Get regular moderate exercise. This stimulates the adrenal glands and also helps to relieve stress.

As much as possible, avoid stress. Continuous and prolonged stress from a troubled relationship, job-related problems, illness, or feelings of low self-esteem or loneliness can be detrimental to the adrenal glands. Take positive action to relieve stressful situations.

Coenzyme A	As directed on label.	Needed for proper functioning of the adrenal glands. Reduces stress.
COENZYME A INGREDIENTS Coenzyme A (CoA, CoASH, or HSCoA) is a coenzyme, notable for its role in the synthesis and oxidation of fatty acids, and the oxidation of pyruvate in the citric acid cycle. All sequenced genomes encode enzymes that use coenzyme A as a substrate, and around 4% of cellular enzymes use it (or a thioester, such as acetyl-CoA) as a substrate.[1] It is adapted from cysteamine, pantothenate, and adenosine triphosphate. (Source: Wikipedia: Coenzyme A) The nutrients supplied by Coenzyme-A product also help the cells efficiently deliver fuel from aerobic and anaerobic metabolism to the TCA cycle for energy release. Because the human body can rapidly absorb these nutrients, Coenzyme-A can be taken by an athlete shortly before a workout or sport performance to provide extra metabolic power when they need it the most. Proprietary Formula: Calcium Pyruvate - 46 mg; Magnesium (as Dimagnesium Malate) - 20 mg; Coenzyme A Modulator Matrix-I - 1000 mg; Pantethine Powder; Calcium Pyruvate; Dimagnesium Malate; Acetyl-L-Carnitine HCL; L-Cysteine HCL.

ASHWAGANDHA BARK PRODUCTS Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) promotes vitality & strength. Ashwagandha is one of the most highly regarded and commonly used adaptogens in the Ayurvedic pharmacopia. Maximizing the bodies ability to resist stress, it enables the body to reserve and sustain vital energy throughout the day while promoting sound, restful sleep at night. Ashwagandha is a member of the nightshade family, however it should be noted that that unlike other Nightshades, Ashwagandha lacks the poisonous attributes. Typically found and cultivated in India, Ashwagandha has been popularly applied to those with overworked and often hyper-tense lives. Ashwagandha is India's native answer to Ginseng and it is currently being applied in Ayurvedic medicine to treat hypertension and stress related ailments. Recent studies have attempted to popularize its use as a preliminary treatment for male infertility and impotence problems. Recommended in times of strife and stress-induced discomfort. It should not be consumed for long periods of time and best reserved for the "times of need." Ashwagandha may be a mild abortifacient and it is not recommended for pregnant women. Researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center have studied Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera). They found that extracts of the shrub had activity that was similar to GABA, which could explain why the plant is effective in reducing anxiety. Scholars from the University of Leipzig, Germany looked at the effects of Ashwagandha on the brain. The research showed Ashwagandha led to more acetylcholine receptor activity. The scholars concluded that the increase of activity in that particular neurotransmitter could account for the increase in cognitive ability and memory attributed to Ashwagandha. Scholars at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India, conducted research which proves many of the elements of Ashwagandha are antioxidants. The researchers found that Ashwagandha led to larger amounts of three different natural antioxidants: superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase. The antioxidant effect of active principles of Ashwagandha may explain the anti-stress, cognition-facilitating and anti-aging effects produced in clinical situations.

ASTRAGALUS PRODUCTS Astragalus helps maintain normal functions of the liver, lung, kidney, stomach and heart, to boost energy, defer aging, detoxify, etc. To bolster white blood cells growth, support the immune systems, and to promote the effect of other herbs, and help reduce side effect of chemotherapy and radiation. Astragalus root is used to stimulate the immune system and astragalus root improves adrenal gland function and digestion. Astragalus root is considered to have a normalizing effect on the body's functions. Astragalus is an important herb and the chief energy tonic in Asian medicine and is commonly included in Chinese cuisine. Early Chinese writings refer to Astragalus as The Superior Tonic. Traditional Chinese medicine prescribes astragalus for maladies related to deficiencies of the "spleen", the energy body responsible for digesting food and "grounding" the energies of the body in the environment. Diseases treated with herbal formulas featuring astragalus can result from poor nutrition or digestive problems, but they can also be associated with frequent changes of life direction, "flighty" attitudes, or failure to make important decisions. Modern research shows that simple preparations of astragalus as a whole herb stimulate the immune system in several ways. It increases the number of stem cells in bone marrow, and encourages their maturity into active white blood cells. It appears to help signal the white blood cells known as neutrophils to migrate to places they are needed to fight infection. It stimulates the "germ-eating" white blood cells known as macrophages, activates T-cells and natural killer (NIK) cells, and increases the production of immune globulins. Usually taken with a variety of other herbs, astragalus as a whole herb eases chronic respiratory infections, aids in recovery from both cancer and the side effects of cancer therapy, and enhances health in HIV. Astragalus is non-toxic in any dosages. The dried root in the form of tea, encapsulated or as an extract. Powder is mildly sweet and may be sprinkled on food or whipped into a shake or smoothie. Most authorities on traditional Chinese medicine recommend taking 9-15 grams (3 to 5 tablespoons) of the whole herb per day as a decoction, made by boiling the ground, dried root in water for a few minutes and then brewing the tea. May also be taken in capsule or extract form.

Research has shown that Echinacea increases production of interferon in the body, which helps increase antiviral activity against influenza (flu) and herpes, an inflammation of the skin and mouth. It is antiseptic and antimicrobial, with properties that act to increase the number of white blood cells available to destroy bacteria and slow the spread of infection. This herb is thought to be an immune stimulant. Taking this herb at the first sign of cold or flu symptoms can actually shorten the term of a cold or even abort it when caught early enough. Echinacea Root is also known as Purple Coneflower and considered very valuable by the North American Indians. Echinacea possesses confirmed anitbacterial and antiviral properties. It is profoundly supportive of the immune system, and Echinacea's therapeutic power amazed practitioners. Echinacea is effective both internally, against such as colds, flu and tonsilitis, and externally against many kinds of stubborn skin problems. The decoction can be used as a mouthwash for pyorrhoea and gingivitis, and as a douche for vaginal infections. Echinacea is the subject of much contemporary research. Its complex chemistry seems to support the immune system by activating white blood cells. Echinacea also increases the production of interferon, an important part of the body’s response to viral infections. Many double-blind studies have confirmed that echinacea is effective for treating colds and flu. Other modern clincial studies confirm that echinacea, taken both internally and used as a douche, is extremely effective against vaginal yeast infections. Echinacea is usually taken at the onset of a cold or flu and continued for 7 to 14 days. When using a powdered extract, take 300 mg 3 times a day. The standard dosage of an alcohol tincture (1:5) is 3 to 4 ml 3 times daily. For Echinacea juice, take 2 to 3 ml 3 times a day, and the whole root, 1 to 2 g, 3 times a day. Echinacea comes in many forms: Capsules, Tablets, Powder and Tincture, the best result is to follow the instructions on the package.
