Why do ripe fruits -- especially when canned -- smell bad? -- excluding apples and cantaloupes

I started drinking water with "self heal" steeped in it and my blood pressure went to normal (123/76), which is most un-normal for me. I use 3 oz - 4 oz chopped-"self heal" (mint and lemon added for flavor)/ waterpitcher. I let the water pitcher stand for at least an hour and then refill with water as needed for 2 - 3 days (It is the drinking water). The putative effects were immediate and enduring. I still take my medications but, with the doctor's consent, I will cut back on them to see how causal the relationship is between the "Prunellae vulgaris" and the hypertension. -- FB - FFF I've also heard that lime juice and coconut juice mixed work for hypertension. And no, that is not meant as humor... What is the common name of that herbal please? http://www.holistic-online.com/Herba...Herbs/h343.htm http://www.pfaf.org/database/plants....nella+vulgaris http://www.herbnet.com/Herb%20Uses_RST.htm (as self-heal) Biological Name: Prunellae vulgaris Other Names: Prunella, Xia ku cao, self heal, all heal Parts Used: flower spike Remedies For: Antipyretic, diuretic, anti-inflammatory antihypertensive vasodilator. Prunella is used for painful, red, and/or swollen eyes often associated with hypertension. It is also very effective for softening and resolving swollen lymph glands, goiter, breast lumps, cancer and tumors. Description: Grows both in the northwestern and north- eastern parts of North America. Dosage: 9-15 grams As I wrote, I'm still taking two allopathic medications besides the Prunella but I was going to have to start a third to get my BP down. I want to reduce the amount of pharmaceuticals that I'm ingesting as I've seen them reduce people to alzheimer levels of awareness. Besides, our species has spent millions of years in dealing with herbs and only a hundred years, maybe, dealing with the pharmaceutical companies. I am surprised that the Prunella produced such dramatic and rapid results. The plant is a type of mint and very easy to grow (as with all mints). I'm reading different things about what part of the plant to use but for the time I'm just using the flower spikes. The infusion (cold) has little taste. I add spearmint or peppermint, plus lemon for flavor. As I said, we use it for our cold drinking water and just replace the water that we take out for a couple of days and then make a fresh batch. Probably only the first pitcher has a therapeutic dose but the effects seem to linger on. -- FB - FFF Billy http://angryarab.blogspot.com/ |

OK......you got my attention. I didn't know heal-all (self-heal) had hypotensive properties, and I realize results may vary from person to person, I'm going to have to add this. How much of a reduction is dramatic and how rapidly did it occur for you? Sounds like it stabilized your pressure, as well. And are you using any other herbals, like hawthorne. I'm trying to get a grip on my elevation here. Hey Charlie, the change was like 165/95 --- 127/ 76 has been at this level for 3 weeks now with no change in meds. Yeah, these things can be statistically valid for groups and not for individuals. All I saying is that I see a difference and the prunella is the only difference. For now let's call it anecdotal. -- FB - FFF Billy http://angryarab.blogspot.com/ |
