PLANTS USED IN TRADITIONAL MEDICINE OFFER AN EFFECTIVE ALT L ERNAT A IVE HERE ARE FIVE THAT A HAV A E EMERGED AS SOME OF THE MOST VERSAT A ILE AND EFFECTIVE: 1 - PURSLANE (PORT R ULACA OLERACEA) his annual succulent – grown fo f r ore than 4,000 years as an edible nd medicinal plant, and worn in he fifrst century as an amulet to ard off f evil – has fo f ur key roperties that are especially usefu f l r treating acne. urslane is both anti-inf nflammato t ry r nd analg lgesic, c which also makes it a ghly eff ffective topical application r healing insect bites and allergic ashes. In addition, it is antiicrobial (so it inhibits the growth f P. P acnes bacteria), anti-ox o idative o it increases the production of he antioxidant superoxide smutase that can help rally the ody’s immune defe f nses), and wound healing (helping prevent scarring fo f llowing inflfammation). These same attributes are valuable fo f r other skin disorders as well.
his mix of fe f atures makes rhubarb an important component of treatments fo f r conditions like eczema. This single botanical can play a a role in soothing eczema-related dry, y itchy hy, irritated and red skin, combating allergy triggers that can cause flfare-ups, and fi f ghting the S. aure r us bacteria unleashed by long bouts of scratching to relieve itchiness. Rhubarb’s sebum regulation abilities are also valuable fo f r relieving the sebum-related symptoms of acne and dandruff ff. 3 - SOAPBERRY R (SAPINDUS MUKO K ROSSI) Soapberry is the fr f uit of the soapnut tree, a deciduous species grown in Asia at altitudes of up to 4000 fe f et. The f uit contains a high concentration of saponins, a fr compound that has natural detergent and fo f aming properties usefu f l in soaps and cleansers (hence the name soapberry). It is also anti-inf nflammato t ry r y, anti-bacte t rial and anti-f -fung ngal. Conditions like dandruff f and seborrheic dermatitis respond well to soapberry by inhibiting the production of TNF-alpha, a cell-signaling protein inv n olved in systemic inflfammation, and helping to control M. fu f rf rfur, a fu f ngus present in these disorders that fe f eds off f excess sebum. Soapberry is also usefu f l fo f r acne fa f ce cleansing because of its anti-inflfammatory and anti-microbial properties.
2 - RHUBARB (RHEUM PA P LMAT A UM) cousin of the non-medicinal arden rhubarb used in dishes like rawberry-rhubarb pie, this pecies is one of the most ommonly used botanicals in aditional Chinese medicine with cords dating back to 2700 B.C. It ot only shares purslane’s nti-inf nflammatory r y, anti-microbial,l nti-ox o idative and wound healing n tributes but also provides antillerg r ic benefi f ts by signifi f cantly ducing histamine release. In ddition, it helps reg e ulate t sebum cretion.

ENCOURAGE THE GROWTH OF “GOOD”BACTERIA THAT A KEEP THE “BAD” BACTERIA IN CHECK - INDIGO (INDIGOFERA TINCTORIA)
Using these and other medicinal plants requires knowledge of which part of the plant to use – whether the root, fr f uit, flfower or bark – as well as which combinations will yield the best results. Using multiple botanicals not only makes it possible to treat the multiple pathways involved in a particular disease but also can dramatically increase eff fficacy. y According to Kamedis research, fo f r example, using Great Burnet and Tr T ee of Heav a en together rather than individually more than triples microbe-fi f ghting activity. y Sophisticated processes are also required to produce botanical extracts with a high concentration of active ingredients that will maximize the potency of the treatment.
This species of indigo, also called true indigo, is a flfowering shrub that was one of the original sources of indigo dye. It has been traditionally used to provide relief fr f om various skin inflfammations because of its anti-inf nflammato t ry r and anti-microbial activities as well as the ability to reduce skin cell prolife f ration.
With W t th t e rig ight fo f rmulation, n however, r botanicals l have th t e power to t help l stre r ng n th t en th t e skin barrier, r re r sto t re r th t e skin’s’ natural protective fu f nction, and keep e micro r org rganisms, s allerg rgens and oth t er skin atta t ckers r at bay ay. Pra r ctitioners r of o traditional Chines e e medicine have known this fo f r centuries.

The latter attribute also has therapeutic value fo f r controlling dandruff ff, which is caused in part by abnormally rapid growth and shedding of hair fo f llicle cells called keratinocytes. Indigo’s ability to help control that runaw a ay a cell growth helps visibly reduce dandruff f flfakes and works synergistically with other botanicals to nourish and hy hydrate the scalp. 5 - SKULLCAP (SCUTELLARIA BAICALENSIS) One of the 50 fu f ndamental herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine, this variety of skullcap belongs to a genus of fl f owering plants in the mint fa f mily. y It is anti-inf nflammatory r y, anti-microbial,l anti-allerg r ic and antio idative as well as usefu ox f l in reducing n sebum secre r tion. As discussed above, all these fe f atures apply to skin conditions like acne and eczema.

INTRODUCING A NEW, W NON-OPIOID PA P IN SOLUTION:
RAPIDCBD
TM
By Larry Banegas, Kumeyaay.com
The report “World Analgesics Market - Opportunities and Forecasts, 2015-2022” projects that the world analgesics market would reach $26.4 billion by 20221. Pain suff fferers have long regarded plant botanicals as a source of healing; there are more than 100 plants known to have pain relieving properties2. Consumers have sought retail brands of topical pain relief with menthol as an active ingredient3. There is a “new” botanical that consumers need to be aware a of for pain relief:f cannabidiol.
In a study published by the National Institutes of Health4, it is stated that, “The nonpsychoactive cannabinoid, cannabidiol (CBD), has great potential fo f r the treatment of chronic and 'breakthrough’ pain..” The study also states, “Chronic pain relief can be best achieved through the transdermal route.” Today, the Un U ited States fa f ces a health epidemic: prescription opioid addiction. To T address this problem, manufa f cturers are producing a new topical combination of CBD with menthol. These non-habit for f ming ingredients are a welcome solution fo f r consumers who do not wish to pursue prescription opioid pain medications or are looking fo f r an alternative to prescription pain medicine. n is that CBD is anything but “new”. CBD is a naturally occurring component of the hemp plant. Hemp is The irony from the cannabis genus and cannabis fo f r medicinal use dates back to the ancient Chinese emperor, Shen-Nung (c.2700 B.C.). Having compiled the medical encyclopedia called, Pen Ts T 'ao,5 Shen-Nung is regarded as the Father of
Chinese Medicine. Cannabis or“Ma”was used by the Chinese to treat weaknesses (menstruation), gout, rheumatism, malaria, beri-beri, constipation, and absentmindedness. During the second century A.D., the Chinese surgeon, Hua T'o, began to use cannabis as an anesthesia.
d through CB2 receptors located in the skin. CB2 receptors play a a role in antinociception, CBD is activated in the body 6 or the relief of pain. Menthol is a known active ingredient with cooling properties. Working similar to ice, menthol
binds with temperature-sensitive receptors in the skin and is thought to modulate pain signals within the body’s natural pain relieving systems. CBD, known to be hydrophobi h c and lipophilic, does not dissolve or emulsify f readily in water, but will dissolve in fa f t. Bioavailability of CBD depends on the way a that the cannabinoid is delivered into the human body. Today, a science has enabled CBD to be water soluble as well as time-release.
The new topical pain cream, RapidCBD™, delivers a powerful combination of micro-encapsulated time-released CBD called Cebidiol™. In Cebidiol™, consumers will benefift fro f m menthol plus eight additional homeopathic ingredients including lavender and rosemary essential oils to relieve pain. The RapidCBD™ Cooling Pain Cream is ideal after strenuous activity and has been proven to be as eff ffective and work as fa f st as an FDA approved OTC topical pain relief solution. The immediate availabilit a y of RapidCBD™ is welcome news fo f r consumers who are seeking a non-opioid solution fo f r muscle aches, strains and joint pain. 1 -http t :/://www. w prnewswire.com/ m/news-relea r ses/ s/analgesics-market-is-exp x ected-to t -reac r h-264 6 -billion-g -globally l -by b -202 0 2-57568892 9 1.html 2 -http t :/://www. w motherearthliving. g com/ m/health t -and-wellness/ s th t e-best-herbs-f -forr-pain-relief r f asp s x 3 -http t :/://health t .usnews.com/ m/health t -p - roducts ts/top-re r c-topica t l-analgesics-arthritis-j - oint-p - ain-135 4 -http t :/://www. w ncbi.nlm.nih.go g v/ v/pubmed/ d/20545522 5 -http t s:/://www. w psychologytoday ay.com/ m/blog og/the-te t enage g -mind/ d/201105/ 5/history r -cannabis-in-ancient-china 6 -http t s:/://en.wikip i edia.org rg/wiki/i/Cannabinoid_receptor r
