Goji berry Seaweed as Nature’s all- round pharmaceutical miracles
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008Over the last couple of years western researchers have been closely studying goji berry’s content. So far everything they’re discovering about the Goji berry, point towards it being a very powerful herbal healer. Studies prove to us that himalayan goji berry not only helps as a preventative product, but also to help treat many medical conditions.
Just some of the conditions that Himalayan Goji juice is said to help prevent and/or treat are fatigue, liver disease, allergies, anxiety/depression, headaches, tuberculosis, insomnia, hypertension and several sexual dysfunctions. Of course not all of us suffer from a severe 2medical condition, how ever for the rest of us Goji Juice helps ward of signs of aging, and help longevity.
Like other ancient medicinal supplements after hitting the mainstream they’ve become mass produced. It’s really a requirement to keep up with the new found demand. Of course those that are die hards of the supplement accept nothing but authentic Himalayan goji berries, that are traditionally grown in the Himalayans.
Goji juice contains 19 essential amino acids, eight of those are essential to living, besides that there are 21 trace minerals, and a very powerful anti cancer mineral that is very rarely found in any type of food. Not to mention it contains a broad array of antioxidants that our bodies need to grow, prevent disease, and remain healthy.
High quantities of Vitamin E, C and B complex, also beta sitosterol a very powerful anti-inflammatory agent that helps ease symptoms of Fibromyalgia, and lupus. Cypersone an essential fatty acid helps regulate blood pressure, and prevent heart disease. It eases menstrual cramps, and menopause discomfort. It contains betaine that enhances memory, promotes muscle growth, and calms anxiety.
Thus, himalayan goji juice has all the right ingredients of a true medicinal substance. A huge number of prescription drugs are plant-based such as belladonna, penicillin and nightshade. When a new “herbal” makes its debut, people lose sight of the fact that all medicine started with plants, roots and herbs eons ago. Every prescription drug’s pedigree stems from naturally-occurring substances; medicine was created by nature, not in a laboratory. The ancient healers knew this, but modern civilizations tend to refuse anything that doesn’t come in a pill, an injection or a capsule.
Seaweed has been confirmed as one of Nature’s “all- round pharmaceutical miracles” with claims that it can accomplish everything from warding off and treating several types of cancer, lower cholesterol and blood pressure, thin the blood, prevent ulcers, kill bacteria and even cure constipation.
It’s not just the Japanese who have appreciated the health benefits from daily consumption of seaweed either as there are reports of people living high in the Andes consuming it on a regular basis. Both cultures are renowned for their hardiness but just why is this natural vitamin supplement so good for us? The answer is the ocean.
For millions of years minerals and nutrients have been draining from the land into the sea and it is more or less a constant chemical medium.
The ocean contains the same minerals and trace elements as human blood and these are integrated into the living tissue of seaweed. As the seaweed is organic (easily broken down) and the natural vitamins, foundation minerals and vital nutrients are in such an assimilable form, this wonderful sea vegetable is of huge nutritional benefit and really is a natural whole food vitamin supplement.
For example, it has been estimated that certain seaweeds are up to 30 times higher in minerals than land food, which is affected by depleted nutrient levels in our soils.
