The results of studies also indicate that reishi may inhibit the spread of the herpes virus. It is commonly used in dose of 600 milligrams once or 2 times a day.

In medical systems of China, reishi is often used in conjunction with the herb known as Astragalus. Herbs one could also prove to enhance the immune system of patients infected with herpes simplex keratitis.




Lysine
Lysine is an essential amino acid. You can only get it through food or supplements because our body can not produce it. This single amino acid is used to make proteins that we need to generate functional antibodies which fight the infection, enzymes, hormones, and body tissues. Lysine is proven to inhibit the spread of herpes simplex virus.

You can get lysine by increasing consumption of eggs, red meat, fish, cheese, yeast used to make beer, and wheat,. However, in addition to the consumption of lysine, you also must consider the comparison between the lysine with other amino acids in the body known as arginine. Both these amino acids compete to be absorbed in the small intestine. So, the less content of arginine in your diet, the more lysine is absorbed. Limit the amount of arginine helps in reducing the consumption of foods rich in these amino acids such as almonds, chocolate, and nuts.

Peppermint oil
A study from the University of Heidelberg found that peppermint oil can penetrate the skin and can directly against the herpes virus.

Lemon balm
This balm contains anti-virus. In a study conducted in hospitals and clinics in Germany, was quoted that lemon balm can heal ulcers within 5 days compared with 10 days in the group who did not use this balm. If it is used regularly, this balm can also prevent the re-emergence of thrush.

In traditional or natural medicine, several plants are often mentioned to cure thrush. Name the betel leaf, sage leaf telik, cashew fruit sticks, cucumber fruit, and palm juice.

Betel Leaf
In making the betel plant (Piper betle L) as a medicine of thrush, you can chew one to two leaves until creamed. It is kept for some time in the mouth, and the pulp is removed. Or, rinse it with pure water. the water could be drunk. In a day you may drink it one to two times.

The leaf length measuring from 6 to 17.5 cm and width from 3.5 to 10 cm, it also contains allylrocatechol, cineole, caryophyllene, methane, eugenol, and methyl ether. In fact, it contains vitamin C and alkaloids. Some scientific literature also mentioned, betel leaves contain an enzyme diastase, sugar and tannins. However, young leaves contain diastase, sugar and essential oil more than the old.

Saga Leaf
In expelling the thrush, betel can also be paired with sage leaves (Abrus precatorius.).. Because, according to the experience and research results, sage leaf, too, has the ability like betel leaves. Leaf Saga includes as thrush drug ingredient that can heal quickly and safely.

The usage can be in several ways. It can be the chewed leaves one or two times a day until healed. The number of chewed it sparingly. It can also rinse and boil it with pure water. Then drink the water.

By boiling 2 ounces of sage leaves in 2 l of water until the water in half remaining. The boiled water is used to rinse the mouth and to be drunk. It was bitter at first, but then it turned into a kind of sweet cinnamon taste. This herb can also added by a piece of cinnamon for good taste.

This ivy leaf with seeds of red beans, black spots contains abruslactone A., methyl abrusgenate, and abrusgenic acid.

Meanwhile, other written evidence that the leaves mentioned in the WHO which declared in the priority list as the most used medicinal plant in the world contains glycyrrhizin, which is no less than 15%. Less clear, whether this soft organic acids are able to resist thrush or other compounds. To be sure, people have used similar this leaves acid for a long time and proved to be expelled "boils" in the mouth a little.

Cashew
Although not as popular as betel and saga, cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.), which is sometimes referred to as the cashew fruit resembling a monkey's head, it is also quite effective thrush cure. But it is not the fruit which is used, but the stem of ripe fruit.

Fruit stalk, which is sometimes called artificial fruit, swelled like a pear or guava juice because it contains water in large quantities. Be careful, do not elect the young. Artificial fruit contains a lot of young sap who can make the skin inflamed.

In contrast, quasi-cashew fruit which are ripe contains vitamin C in large amount, it could reach 180 mg/100 g. Vitamin C is dense this astringen (shrink) wound thrush, which is sometimes used to speed up healing thrush.

How to use it is to eat like a normal fruit. Or, it could also the way people used to the tempo of Ternate, the feelings rinse with water. However, you should not be drunk, because the sour taste and its vitamin C can make an intense heartburn if the stomach can not stand.

Cucumbers
Cucumbers (Cucumis sativus L.) secretly can also cure thrush. By eating it every day in considerable amount, the fruit undoubtedly chills in the oral cavity and able to reduce "heat" of thrush.

Thrush sufferers eventually complete recovery after each day to eat nine fruits of cucumber for several months while doing a strict diet of milk, eggs, and wine.

Unfortunately, compounds that contain a very juicy fruit, especially those capable of kicking the thrush, is not known due to the scarcity of research conducted.

Sugar Palm Sap
Meanwhile, sugar palm sap (Arenga pinnata Merr.) turns out according to the empirical data could cure thrush. K. Heyne Harloff quoted in het Geneeskundig Tijdschr page 385 declares that palm juice can treat thrush with the amazing results.

Therefore, patients must drink three glasses of it every day until cured. Again, the compounds which help thrush cure had not been revealed. To be sure, the fluid obtained from the male flower bunches palm tree after sliced and given physical treatment contains high sugar levels, so not good for diabetics.

There are many more plants have mentioned for curing thrush. However, research in that direction seems still is not attractive to many researchers. It appears from the very scarcity of research results that can be used as reference.

For a while, there's no harm in trying the plants on the anti thrush. During the usage restrictions noted, a bad influence for someone who at the same time thrush disease can be eliminated.

The Importance of Ayurvedic

Wherever we are on this earth at this moment, we can see and feel how bad the impact of modern life is damaging the natural environment and our lives. As modern humans we also have an understanding that the quality of our health is affected by the negative impacts, such as air pollution, water, food and lifestyle is not healthy.

In the search for balance of life discourse, there is the health contribution to the balance of the mind. Apparently this has very important role. People in unhealthy physical conditions usually think negatively too much, feel distracted, be reluctant or lazy to do anything due to their conditions.

Ayurveda is a holistic lifestyle system that teaches the practical details of the arrangement of food, body work, rest periods, and work, which aims to achieve balance of body, mind, and soul.



Thus, Ayurveda is not just medicine but a healthy lifestyle. The basic principle of ayurveda is to prevent diseases by balancing body, mind, soul and environment.

Ayurvedic health concept has been covering the entire system of human life that makes ayurveda as a system of treatment and comprehensive health care in the world. Many medications commonly used by us today come from plants. According to various sources, at least one of the basic ingredients of plant material forms part of several prescription drugs available in the world.

Specifically, ayurveda uses plants to fix the imbalance that occurs in the human body before they become disease. By combining several kinds of plants or herbs to get benefit of the drug or therapeutic value, it is commonly known as herbal medicine, Ayurveda has been proven capable of overcoming various health problems that occurred in the human body.

Humans have been known ayurvedic herbal medicine based on health since ancient times. Early primitive men discovered many things which not only provide remedy, but also food, shelter and clothing.

Ayurveda is a health science concept or recorded in the "veda", the book of the world's oldest literature. Ayurveda is the science of life that has been applied since 1000 BC by the rishi (wise man, sage) India to maintain health. In Sanskrit, “Ayur” means life and the “Veda” means knowledge, so that "ayurvedic" literally means Science of Life.

Ayurvedic principles, or power of life or dosha is divided into three; pitta, kapha, and vata. Dosha is in the material universe, including humans. The term dosha indicates the human body's metabolic type and the type of mind-body (the mind and body). In ayurvedic medicine, the determination of the type of dosha is the most important stage. To determine the type of person, ayurvedic practitioners typically conduct observations and provide a few questions, then just do the stages of therapy.

Kapha, pitta and vata are in every human being with a different level. Usually people have one dominant dosha and one accompanist dosha. Differences combination makes every individual dosha has a personality and a different health.

Dosha imbalance is the first sign that the mind and body is not perfectly coordinated. When disturbed dosha balance, the body will become vulnerable to pressure from outside, such as viruses, bacteria, pollution, and stress. Therefore, ayurvedic treatment focused on methods to balance dosha.

Today, ayurveda has been widely used in modern medicine systems. This was triggered by a number of research-conducted scientific research and has proved how effective the role of plants or herbs on human health.

Probably, ayurveda is the only science where blood cancers or leukemia are cured, without side effects. Pediatric leukemia is recovering amazingly faster, often few weeks time for perfect control. Advanced nations are spending billions of dollars in research for a cure. However, recurrence of most types of cancers is a general phenomenon. Scientists can research how ayurvedic acts selectively, inducing cell death in only the malignant cells and not affecting neighboring healthy cells.

According to the World Health Organization, almost 80 percent of the world's population, or 4 billion people now use some aspects of herbal medicine in their health care process. Common elements in the American Indian medicine are traditional oriental medicine, naturopathy, homeopathy and ayurvedic medicine herbs.

Nowadays, most commercial drugs using substances derived from plants for the treatment of high blood pressure, heart disease, asthma, pain, and other problems,. Ephedrine is used to treat the symptoms of asthma and other respiratory problems. It is the active ingredient in ephedrine, a traditional Chinese herb.

The foxglove plant is another example pointing to the use of modern medicine herbal extraction. The leaf of this plant is powdered digitalis to stimulate the heart and provide assistance to a large number of heart patients.

Some of the herbs used in ayurveda successful in reducing diabetes and cholesterol. In recent years, there is growth in the use of herbal medicines because of the success stories which replaced Prozac for treating mild depression. In the United States, the popularity of Ginseng and Ginkgo Biloba increases due to the healing effect.

Naturopathy, Natural Solutions for Health Problems

People often forget the most natural way to live is the foundation of good health. Therefore, it is important that we return to the most basic ways the most traditional or to obtain a substance from food to get the natural benefits.

Usually, we must return to the natural functions of our body system to restore most perfect inside part of the body. Treatment or surgery is done to make the final choice. The best recovery is a natural way and the best doctor to restore all remained disease is you yourself.

Since medical treatment can not give healing, many patients who now seek alternative treatments, including naturopathy. This type of alternative therapy improves the immune system and restores the damaged system. Many people with autism, cancer, and heart choose to live a healing through this therapy.

If medical treatment is only focused on the disease course, naturopathy is done to fix a broken system because it does not work properly causing the disease. In addition, unlike medical treatment which continues to force the patient to take the medicine, naturopathy extraction uses natural materials.

System of the body of every person is different from one another, while the drug from doctors tends to be applied same for everyone. And the drug clearly can not improve our systems. As a result many people are addicted to drugs.

In naturopathic remedy, the patient does not take drugs that contain chemicals. As the name implies, a.k.a naturo, which means nature, all medical procedures done here are natural. Drugs used 100 percent derived from natural materials such as herbs; nutritional supplements can improve the system of the damaged body functions.

The selection of natural materials based on the evidence that in each of these plants contain receptors, chemical structure, the same hormone in humans. There was a study that proves that the leaves contain a substance similar to that of a human head. While the substance contained in the roots or branches of trees similar to that of the human hand and foot.

In naturopathy, if there is a damaged body part, the supplements provided will improve the wounds of the body known as homilists system. There are several procedures that must be through by patients, including aromatherapy, spa, detoxification, rejuvenation, lymph drainage massage is also aliases for the smooth flow of the massage nodes.

In treating patients with autism for example, naturopathic medicine is more done in a natural approach, rather than a clinical approach which gives chemical medicines.
If the general medical world of autism treatment more emphasizes on psychological, it doesn’t with naturopathy systems. In this type of treatment, they focus on improving the intestine and organ function associated with the food or the more popular in medical circles bio-nutrition intervention terms. Gastrointestinal tract is a second brain, a.k.a the second brain is the most decisive in human health.

In the gastrointestinal tract, there are about 500 colonies of bacteria, in which every colony there are germs 1,5-7,5 billion population. So the argument is clear enough why most diseases it comes from the digestive organs.

After a phase of detoxification, there will be recovery conducted, the body recovery from the effects of poison. Then performed rejuvenation, i.e. the regenerating cells synchronizes the formation of new cells and old cells.

Final stage of the treatment of autism is the revitalization; the patient's body restores normal conditions. Revitalization here can be done by giving your intake of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, probiotics and the things that far from the chemical. There are so many patients with autism can be cured with naturopathic techniques. Other diseases also briefly addressed here is the cancer and heart disease.
