Cholesterol Aid for natural support of healthy cholesterol levels

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

A Jacaranda FM listener wanted to know how Cholesterol Aid can help to manage cholesterol levels naturally.

The most important function of the Cholesterol Aid’s formula of homeopathic and herbal ingredients, is to lower unhealthy fat levels in the blood stream.

The anti-inflammatory properties of some ingredients, like Capsicum (Cayenne), aid in reducing the damage that inflammation can cause in blood vessels. Some of the herbs contain anti-oxidants which help to reduce the oxidation of cholesterol and thereby reduce “bad” cholesterol in the blood stream. Some of the herbs also improve blood circulation and help to reduce the risk of blood clots – blood clots may lead to heart attacks.

Cholesterol aid has additional benefits but we’ll mention those in a next post.

Cayenne for pain relief and indigestion

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

A Jacaranda FM listener wanted to know how Cayenne can help for pain relief and indigestion.

Cayenne is a brilliant herb for those who suffer from indigestion becasue it has an anti-septic and anti-microbial effect against some microbes like Helicobacter pylorii. H. pylorii has been implicated in as a causative bug in stomach ulcers and can lead to much discomfort and pain in the stomach and small intestines.

As mentioned in a previous post, Cayenne has an effect on the neurotransmitter Substance P, which is involved in pain regulation.

Cayenne may also stimulate the adrenal glands. When these important glands are not functioning properly, you may experience fatigue and it can even lead to fatigue or exhaustion syndrome. So, if you feel that your body needs a holiday after the festive season, Cayenne you certainly be a product that may be of benefit.
