Herbal Butterbur, the Potent Anti Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis Functional Herb, Scientists Suggest

Herbal Butterbur may be considered an adjunct therapy for the prevention and treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis, some scientists suggested.

Seasonal allergic rhinitis is a condition of inflammation of the nasal passages as a result of seasonal allergic effects.

Most cases of rhinitis are caused by the immune system overreaction of pollen, mold, animal dander, or dust, the body releases chemicals.

Most people with acute allergic rhinitis are experiencing symptoms of sneezing, itchiness and a blocked or a runny nose.

However, some people may have chronic allergic rhinitis, because they're sensitive to all seasonal allergens, including tree or grass pollen.


Most acute allergic rhinitis does not require medical attention, however, if your acute allergic rhinitis that lasts for several months and disrupts your daily activity, you may want to check with your doctor to rule out other possibilities.


Longterm untreated allergic rhinitis may induce complications of nasal polyps, sinusitis, and middle ear infections.


Most cases of allergic rhinitis can be treated with over counter medicine, including non-sedating antihistamines and nasal passages spray with a saltwater solution.

In a severe case, a stronger medication, such as a nasal spray containing corticosteroids can be helpful.

Please make sure that you know all the side effects of corticosteroids for preventive measures.

Butterbur, found in wet, marshy, damp land, including wetland, riverside, forest, etc., is a creeping underground plant, genus Petasites of 15 -20 species, belonging to the family Asteraceae, native to Northern Hemisphere.

The plant has been used in herbal medicine used as a pain reliever in the digestive system, including stomach, bile ducts, and duodenum, etc.

The Chemical ingredients of Butterbur include Petioles, petasitene, and ethylene, quercetin 3-O-beta-D-glucoside, quercetin 3-O-beta-D-6''-O-acetylglucoside, and rutin, caffeic acid, alkaloids, S-petasin and iso-S-petasin, etc.

In the study to re-examine the recent literature regarding the alternative therapies for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, Dr. Man LX, at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, found that although there are several studies report beneficial effects of Butterbur for treating allergic rhinitis. additional insight into the mechanisms of action, short-term and long-term effects and adverse events are necessary before the herbal medicine can be integrated into the general treatment armamentarium of allergic rhinitis.

Dr. Guo R, the lead author in the study to investigate the efficacy of herbal medicines for the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR) launched a search in the 5 electronic databases published before and on November 8, 2005.


The guideline and criteria were set to only include double-blind randomized clinical trials (RCTs), which tested a herbal medicine against placebo or an active comparator, in patients with AR, and evaluated clinically relevant outcomes.

Study selection, data extraction, and evaluation of methodological quality were performed independently by 2 reviewers.

16 eligible RCTs, testing 10 different herbal products against placebo or an active comparator, were included.

Out of 16 selected studies, Six RCTs studied suggested that Petasites hybridus (butterbur) extract is superior to placebo or similarly effective compared with nonsedative antihistamines for intermittent AR.

At the final report of the study, the doctors wrote, "There is encouraging evidence suggesting that P hybridus may be an effective herbal treatment for seasonal (intermittent) AR".


These results suggested that herbal Butterbur may be considered a functional herb for the prevention and treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis without inducing serious side effects.

Herbal Chamomile, the Anti Skin Cancer Herbal Remedy

Chamomile processed a high amount of antioxidants may have a profound and positive effect on reducing the risk and treatment of skin cancer, according to studies.

Skin cancer is the medical condition caused by irregular cell growth in the skin tissues due to the alternation of cell DNA.

Most cases of skin cancer begin in the cell on the surface of the inner lining of skin tissues. However, at the advanced stage, the tumor cells can travel a distance away from the skin to infect other healthy tissue and organs, through lymph and blood, leading to secondary metastasis.

Organs or system which is vulnerable to skin metastasis is lymph, lung, and liver.

Although family and personal history, history of sunburn, excessive sun exposure and people who live in sunny or high-altitude climates are associated with the risks of skin cancer, some researchers suggested that skin cancer in the Western world may be attributed to the misunderstanding the risk of sun exposure and the risk of unhealthy skin, as we still can see a lots of naked skin exposed to sunlight during the Summer months in the parks.

According to the statistic, 90 percent of nonmelanoma skin cancers are associated with exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. An estimated 4.3 million cases of BCC are diagnosed in the U.S. each year. causing the death of more than 3,000 people.


Dr. Honnavara N Ananthaswamy in the concern of the sunlight and risk of skin cancer wrote, " Laboratory studies have shown that UV-B region of the solar spectrum is responsible for this effect. The first step in UV skin carcinogenesis involves the induction of DNA damage".

And, "Occasional mistakes during the repair of this damage leads to the incorporation of wrong bases into the genetic material. The DNA damage that is left unrepaired may also disrupt cellular processes by obstructing the DNA and RNA synthesizing machineries and introduce the wrong bases into the DNA. These types of mistakes often result in mutation leading to loss or inappropriate expression of affected genes".

The finding indicated the progression of skin cancer in long-term UV exposure and how the UV light induces the change of skin cells' DNA.

Chamomile is also known as camomile, the common name of many species daisy-like plants in the family Asteraceae. The herb has been used in traditional medicine as antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory constituents and for the treatment of menstrual cramps and sleep disorders, reduce cramping and spastic pain in the bowels, relieve excessive gas and bloating in the intestine, etc.

Researchers on finding a herbal medicine for the treatment of skin cancer which not only continues to rise but also accounts for approximately 40% of all cancers reported in the United States and 9,500 deaths per year, examined the effects of chamomile against reactive oxygen species (ROS) type free radicals in the initiation of skin cancer and aging.

Compared to other herbal medicines used in the study, chamomile demonstrated skin protective effects against oxidative stress through its antioxidant activity.

In vitro, chamomile modulated the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced upregulation of ROS free radicals in normal human skin fibroblasts.

According to the flow cytometry-based assay, the free radical inhibition of chamomile was attributed to a single ingredient but varying concentrations of herbal chamomile natural components.

Additional investigation of the chamomile anti-skin cancer activity, researchers examined the bioactive compound Apigenin, the major active compound from herbal chamomile which was previously found to inhibit chemically induced ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity and skin tumor promotion.

Increased ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) was associated with the expression of oxidative stress in animal chemical induction.

After mouse skin carcinogenesis was induced by exposure to a total dose of 40 J/cm2 UVB over 11 weeks, application of Apigenin (5 mumoles/200 microliters DMSO:acetone, 1:9) treatment from 12 hours before until 1 hour following UVA/B exposure was effective in inhibition (25-45% inhibition) of ODC activity measured at 28 hours following UVA/B exposure.

Treatment with 10 mumoles apigenin in 200 microliters DMSO:acetone (1:9) prior to each UVB exposure showed a reduction in cancer incidence (52% inhibition) and an increase in tumor-free survival, compared to control mice.

Interestingly, in salmon sperm, Apigenin (0-100 microM) did not prevent the production of photoproducts to cause damage to the cell DNA.

The results strongly suggested that Apigenin inhibited UVA/B induced ODC activity or UVB induced skin carcinogenesis through many unknown mechanisms instead of simply absorbing ultraviolet light or decreasing DNA damage.

Taken altogether, herbal chamomile may be considered a functional remedy for the prevention and combined with primary medicine for the treatment of skin cancer.

Chaste Tree Berry's Estrogenic Effects

Chaste-tree berry (Vitex agnus-castus L.) displaced estrogenic ability induced the reaction of estrogen from the binding site of estrogen receptors alpha (ERalpha) and beta (ERbeta), in ameliorated the deregulation of 17β-Estradiol (E2) in exhibited the initiation and progression of cell malignancies, affecting various aspect in women body, a study by respectable Institute suggested.


Chaste tree berry is a species of Vitex agnus-castus, genus Vitex, belonging to the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region, used in herbal medicine for thousands of year as anaphrodisiac herb and considered as Queen herb in treating menstrual problems and discomforts.
According to the University of Illinois at Chicago, linoleic acid isolated from the extract of Vitex agnus-castus exerted estrogenic activity in binding to estrogen receptors, inducing certain estrogen-inducible gene expression in preserving the integrity of the genome, presented in a cell or organism.


Dr. Jarry H, the lead author in the study of "evidence for estrogen receptor beta-selective activity of Vitex agnus-castus and isolated flavones" found that beside linoleic acid, flavones derivative vitexin and penduletin. isolated from vitex agnus-castus (VAC) also expressed estrogenic effect as most active ERss-selective phytoestrogens.


Other researchers insisted that the estrogenic components of plant extracts may constitute a potential use for some dietary supplements in human for treatment of various estrogen related syndromes and diseases, including breast and prostate cancers, menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis, atherosclerosis and stroke, and neurodegeneration.

Taking together, Chaste tree berry processes a strong estrogenic effects in binding estrogen receptor site to preserve the balancing of hormone expression of estrogen through ER alpha and ERBeta inhibition and exhibition by regulating the function of some estrogen-inducible genes.

Garlic - The Whole Food Medicine for Reduced Risk and Treatment of Hyperlipidemia

Garlic (Allium sativum) is a species in the onion genus, belonging to family Amaryllidaceae, native to central Asia. It has been used popularly in traditional and Chinese medicine in treating common cold and flu to the Plague, blood pressure cholesterol levels, natural antibiotics, etc.

In a total of forty 10-month-old, male Wistar rats received intraperitoneal (IP) injection of CsA (25 mg/kg) for 28 days, the group received garlic (tablets, 400 mg/d) demonstrated reduced LDL levels compared with controls.

Also in patients with Nephrotic syndrome (NS), characterized by proteinuria, oxidative stress and endogenous hyperlipidemia, 2% garlic diet treatment diminished significantly total-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides, but not HDL-cholesterol, through the attenuation of the rise of lipoperoxidation.

Dr. Bragg DA and Dr. Walling A said," The evidence to support the use of integrative medicine is limited (to the treatment of metabolic syndrome), but the strongest evidence of benefit is for garlic (Allium sativum)".

Furthermore, the Wistar male rats randomly divided into 4 diet groups with garlic supplementation study, also support the effect of garlic in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, as group treated with 200 mg raw garlic/kg body weight, demonstrated the protective effects on HDL in rats with high LDL intake.



In fact, patients with high blood cholesterol may want to add a portion of garlic into their daily diet
but patients with the presence of ulcers should only take garlic or garlic supplement with the permission of herbalists.

Herbal Cayenne Adverse Effects on Circulatory System



People who regular Intake of cayenne pepper pills for weight loss should be careful as cayenne pepper pills have shown to induce Myocardial infarction (MI).

Cayenne is also known as Cayenne Pepper, a red, hot chili pepper, belonging to Capsicum annuum, the family Solanaceae, native to subtropical and tropical regions, used in traditional medicine to increases metabolism, enhance circulatory system and stomach and the intestinal tract, adjust blood pressure, lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, treat frostbite, muscles, arthritis, rheumatism, low back pain, strains, sprains, bruises, and neuralgia, etc.

According to the Harran University, Capsaicin supplement, one of the major active components of cayenne pepper pills found over the counter substance also induced severe chest pain with an extensive inferior myocardial infarction on a 25 years old male.

In fact, use of capsaicin patch may also cause harm to the circulatory system, Dr. said Akçay AB, the lead researcher said, " A 29-year-old man experienced coronary vasospasm and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) which were possibly induced by the use of a topical capsaicin patch to relieve lumbago" and " the vasospasm and subsequent AMI was attributed to the use of the capsaicin patch for six days".

And ingestion of peppers and chili peppers are found to associate with arterial hypertensive crisis and acute myocardial infarction through the expression of high levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone.


Therefore, people who used any type of cayenne supplement as a topical painkiller, weight loss,.... should consult with special field experts in the prevention of the adverse effect on the circulatory system.

Fennel In Attenuating the Risk, Progression and Treatment of Intestinal Dysbiosis

Fennel may have a potential and therapeutic effect in reduced risk, progression and treatment of gastrointestinal dysbiosis, some scientists suggested.


Dysbiosis is the most common gastrointestinal tract disorder, caused by imbalanced microbiota in the gastrointestinal tract particularly in the small intestines.

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species of genus, belongings to Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), native to the Mediterranean, used in traditional and herbal medicine as warming, carminative, antispasmodic, antidepressant agent and to stimulate the appetite, ease indigestion, soothe coughing, reduce intestinal spasms, to regulate the menstrual cycle and relieve PMS,...

In the investigation of the effect of some herbal essential oil in risk of dysbiosis, researchers found that essential oil isolated from fennel exerts lesser inhibited function in reduced concentration of the growth of potential pathogens in compared to isolation of herbal Carum carvi, Lavandula angustifolia, Trachyspermum copticum, and Citrus aurantium var. amara without inducing any adverse effects.

Further analysis also suggested that ingestion of fennel essential oil although decrease levels of bad micro bacteria concentration, they do not contribute to a substantial detrimental impact on beneficial members of the microflora.

The above differentiation was supported by the joint study conducted by the Scientific Board Member of Islamic Azad University, on 180 day-old broiler chicks to test the effect of the composition of Trigonella foenum-graecum (Fenugreek) and Foeniculum vulgare (Fenne) on antimicrobial activity of gut micro flora traits.

Application of the composition to samples chick randomly assigned to groups fed with control diet (without additives), diet accompanied with 2 mentioned mixed powder plants (0.5% of total diet), diet with TF mixed powder plant and diet with FV mixed powder plant, at the end of the experiment, demonstrated a significant improvement of balance of the gastrointestinal microflora, through expression of increased average daily feed intake (ADFI), average daily gain (ADG).

Additionally, the efficacy of the composition also decreased the concentration of the number of G- bacteria (NGB), the number of Coli form bacteria compared to the sample taken before the experiment.

Indeed, Trigonella foenum-graecum (Fenugreek) and Foeniculum vulgare (Fennel) treated group displayed an enormous anti antimicrobial activity of gut in comparison to the control group.

In tested porcine gut, anethole, the bioactive compound found in essential oil isolated from fennel displayed a substantial antimicrobial activity against commensal and pathogenic bacteria, through inhibited the chloride secretion with function in major determinant of mucosal hydration throughout the gastrointestinal tract, induced by 5-HT metabolic signaling of gut microbes and theophylline adverse effect in induction of gut disorder.

At a dose of 0.5 mmol/L, anethole exerted a protective effect against micro imbalance in initiated gastrointestinal disorder by inhibition of excessive chloride secretion.

Taken together, the information finding suggested that fennel and its bioactive compound anethole may be considered as a function herb for reduced risk, progression and combined with standard medicine for the treatment of intestinal dysbiosis, without inducing intolerant side effects.

Cranberry Promotes Postprandial Blood Glucose Management

Postprandial blood glucose is the range of blood glucose that is measured by the blood glucose test, taking after 2 hours of a meal.

At this point of measurement, postprandial blood glucose in a healthy individual usually gone back down. In other words, lower or equal to 7.8 mmol/L (140 mg/dL) 2 hours after eating is normal blood glucose found in a healthy individual.


Glycemic response is a change in blood glucose after consuming carbohydrate-containing food compared to Glycemic Index (GI) that ranks carbohydrate-containing foods, according to their effect on blood glucose levels.

In other words, the glycemic response is the change of blood glucose after the intake of a food or meal.

More precisely, healthy people who are not prediabetes or diabetes have normal blood glucose and insulin levels that rise within the range after eating, then return to the fasting levels over a short period of time.

According to the 2015 statistics by the American Diabetes Association, in the U.S. over 30.3 million Americans or 9.4% of the population are living with diabetes. Sadly, out of 30.3 million adults with diabetes, 23.1 million were diagnosed, and 7.2 million were undiagnosed.

In 2015, 84.1 million Americans age 18 and older had prediabetes.

According to the epidemiological studies, by managing postprandial blood glucose effectively, diabetics can decrease the risk of microvascular (retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy) and cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Cranberry is an evergreen dwarf shrub, genus Vaccinium, belongings to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern America and Southern Asia. Because of its health benefits, cranberry has been cultivated in some parts of the world for commercial profit and used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat wounds, urinary disorders, diarrhea, diabetes, stomach ailments, and liver problems.

On finding a potential compound for the treatment of diabetes, researchers investigated the postprandial effects of dried cranberries following a high-fat breakfast challenge in obese participants with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

The randomized crossover trial includes blood draw and vascular measurements such as fasting, 1, 2 and 4 hours (h), following the consumption of a fast-food style high-fat breakfast (70 g fat, 974 kcal) with or without cranberries (40 g).

According to the results of the analysis, biomarkers associated with inflammation and oxidative markers such as interleukin-18 and malondialdehyde were significantly lower at 4 h.

Serum total nitrite was found to be higher at 2 h in the cranberry compared to the control group.
However, there were no significant differences in levels of insulin, insulin resistance, lipid profiles and blood pressure between the cranberry and control group.

Furthermore, cranberries showed no effect on the levels of C-reactive protein or interleukin-6.
In other words, dietary cranberries inhibited the high-fat breakfast induced postprandial glucose and selected biomarkers of inflammation and oxidation in patients with T2DM without affecting other parameters associated with diabetes such as insulin, insulin resistance, lipid profiles, and blood pressure.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "adding whole cranberries to a high-fat meal may improve postprandial blood glucose management and warrant further investigation".

Taken altogether, cranberry may be considered a remedy used for the postprandial blood glucose management, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
