Herbs have many healing and therapeutic properties and are therefore highly recommended due to their antioxidant capacities. They also have many potential benefits for improving your general health and wellbeing in the long term. Below are a list of herbs and their many healing benefits…
-
- Turmeric. Due to its active compounds known as curcuminoids, its powerful anti-inflammatory properties can help to ease many painful symptoms associated with arthritis and other conditions. Studies are also suggesting that these curcuminoids could help with preventing colon cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. Cooking with turmeric is one suggestion, but a better way to ensure the curcumin is absorbed into the bloodstream is to take a supplement such as CurcuminX4000™ from Good Health Naturally which uses Meriva® (root) Curcuma longa extract for superior absorption. This formulation has an increased antioxidant capacity and may help to ease many health conditions.

Taking a cinnamon extract daily is highly recommended to control blood sugar. Highly recommended for this purpose is Cinnamon27™ from Good Health Naturally which contains Cinnamon bark extract. Some of the constitutents that make up cinnamon have been shown in vitro and animal studies to stimulate insulin receptors and block the enzyme that interrupts them.
