It has the extraordinary ability to enhance cardiovascular performance while actually lowering blood pressure.15 A quote taken from a cardiovascular publication reads , "Capsaicin has also been shown to prolong cardiac action potential in atrial muscle." Herbalists have considered Capsicum as a superior “food” for the heart. In fact, in cases where a heart attack is suspected administering capsicum in hot water has been thought to help lessen the severity of the attack. Capsicum can also be placed on or under the tongue in emergencies involving heart attack, stroke or hemorrhaging. Check out our large selection of Cayenne supplements at VitaNet.

Serrapeptase to boost the immune system
Topic: herbs

Since the 1960’s, plant and microbial protease enzymes have been studied for their role in the management of inflammation and inflammatory processes. In both animal and human trials, proteolytic enzymes, from a variety of sources, have repeatedly been shown to significantly reduce inflammation resulting from sickness or injury (Ryan, 1967)(Smyth et al, 1967)(Shaw, 1969)(Kumakura et al, 1988)(Lomax, 1999). The earlier research on the anti-inflammatory actions of proteases pointed entirely to their antithrombic and fibrinolytic aspects to explain this phenomenon. However, studies by Parmely (Infect and Immun Sept 1990) and others indicate that, in addition to degrading fibrin, microbial proteases may actually inactivate pro-inflammatory cytokines and to interrupt inflammatory responses.

Siberian Ginseng aka Eleutherococcus senticosus

Eleutherococcus senticosus was commonly called “Siberian Ginseng.” Although this name was botanically incorrect since eleuthero is not even in the same genus as panax ginseng, it was an understandable appellation since many of its functions were the same. For example, like panax, eleuthero shows excellent Adaptogenic activity. Russian explorers, divers, sailors and miners also used eleuthero to prevent stress related illness. In addition, evidence also suggests eleuthero may prove valuable in the long-term management of various diseases of the immune system, including HIV infection and chronic fatigue syndrome. Referred to as “ci wu jia” in Chinese medicine, it was used to prevent respiratory tract infections, colds and flu.
