IN CASE OF SOME EVENT OR ATTACK!
YERBA DE SAPO
DANDELION
MORINGA
GREETINGS TO ALL,
I'D BEEN WANTING TO PUT TOGETHER A POST LIKE THIS FOR SOME TIME NOW, AND I JUST HADN'T GOTTEN AROUND TO DOING IT, UNTIL NOW.
OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS I'VE BEEN CONTEMPLATING CERTAIN THINGS, AND I THOUGHT I WOULD BRING THIS INFORMATION TO YOU ALL.
OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS I'VE BEEN USING THE FOLLOWING 3 PLANTS, AMONG OTHERS, ON A PERSONAL LEVEL, AND CAN PERSONALLY ATTEST TO MANY OF THEIR MIRACLE LIKE EFFECTS ON A HUMAN BODY.
EACH ONE HAS ITS OWN HEALTH BENEFITS, AS WELL AS SHARING SIMILAR HEALTH BENEFITS WITH THE OTHERS, BUT THEY ALL ARE VERY USEFUL FOR MANY THINGS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO OUR HEALTH.
FIRST OF ALL,
I HAVE STARTED OFF WITH YERBA DE SAPO, ALSO CALLED 'MEXICAN THISTLE.'
I HAVE BEEN USING THIS PLANT SINCE ABOUT 2012, AND THE NATIVES OF MEXICO HAVE BEEN TAKING IT FOR CENTURIES!
I HAVE POSTED THE INFO. AND LINKS BELOW REGARDING ALL THREE OF THESE PLANTS.
THE MAIN THING I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL ABOUT THIS FIRST PLANT IS THE FACT THAT THE NATIVES USED IT EVEN IN THE EVENT OF TREATING PEOPLE THAT HAD BEEN BITTEN BY VENEMOUS SNAKES, IN ORDER SO THAT THE BODY WOULD EJECT THE VENOM.
I HAVE ALSO READ OTHER STUDIES REGARDING THIS PLANT, AND HAVE ALSO READ THAT IT COULD PROBABLY HELP SAVE PEOPLE IN THE EVENT THAT PEOPLE WERE EXPOSED TO SOME KIND OF HAZARDOUS AGENT, DUE TO THE THIS PLANTS PROPERTIES OF SEPARATING THE POISON, OR VENOM FROM THE BLOOD STREAM.
I THOUGHT TO MYSELF THAT HAVING A LITTLE OF THIS PLANT, IN DRY FORM, WOULD BE A GOOD PLAN B, JUST IN CASE SOMETHING MAJOR DID OCCUR.
I ALSO ADDED INFORMATION REGARDING DANDELION AND MORINGA, WHICH ARE TWO MORE AMAZING PLANTS THAT WOULD ALSO HELP OUT A LOT, IN THE EVENT OF SOME KIND OF HORRIBLE EVENT THAT WOULD SEE MEDICINES RUN OUT, AND PEOPLE TO BE LEFT SUFFERING FROM THE ILL-EFFECTS OF SOME KIND OF AGENT THAT THE HUMAN BODY WOULD NEED TO BE PURGED, OR CLEANSED FROM.
I JUST WANTED TO BRING THIS TO YOU ALL, AS SEEING AS THINGS CONT. TO GET WORSE AND WORSE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
GOD'S PLANTS AND HIS NATURAL REMEDIES ARE SO OFTEN OVERLOOKED IN TODAY'S FAST PACED WORLD, THAT MANY OF US DON'T EVER REALIZE THE SIMPLE THINGS WE CAN DO, IN ORDER TO PREPARE FOR A RAINY DAY.
TAKE CARE, AND CONTINUE TO PRAY THE MOST HOLY ROSARY, AND THE PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL.
GOD BLESS!

Scientific Name:
Apiaceae
Other Common Name:
Rattlesnake master, snakeroot (Quattrocchi, 2012; White, 2002; Schoenhals, 1988).
Common names in Spanish:
Hierba del sapo, raíz del sapo, escorzonera, cabezona, cardón, espinosa (Argueta, 2014: White, 2002; Schoenhals, 1988).
Where is it found?
The genus Eryngium comprises more than de 250 species, some of which are employed as spices and medicinal plants in different parts of the world (Seidemann, 2005). Two species of annual herbs, E. heterophyllum and E. carlinae, are found throughout Mexico and in some parts of the United States (Estrada and Morales, 2002).
Parts of the plant used:
The whole plant
How is it used?
The stems and leaves are decocted in water and taken as a tea. Sometimes the root is also decocted and taken as a tea (Jimenez, 2012; Mendoza- Castelán and Lugo-Pérez, 2011).
What is it used for?
The tea made from the leaves is taken to treat coughs, pertussis (whooping cough), urinary infections, and to lower cholesterol (Estrada and Morales, 2002). The roots are edible and are candied as sweets or boiled or roasted. The juice extracted or decocted from the root is drunk as an aphrodisiac, for its diuretic action, and to induce uterine contractions. The plant is combined with other medicinal herbs for the treatment of gonorrhea (Mabberley, 2008; Martinez, 1989). Mexican thistle is taken to dissolve kidney and gall bladder stones, to treat cancer, lower cholesterol and triglycerides, for angina and to prevent atherosclerosis (Argueta, 2014; Jimenez, 2012; Mendoza-Castelán and Lugo-Pérez, 2011; Berdonces, 2009).
A study undertaken by Klein-Junior et al (2016) concluded that various Eryngium species, due to their monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitory action, have potential application as a source of promising central nervous system bioactive secondary metabolites, especially related to the treatment of various neurodegenerative disorders.
Various species of the genus eryngo are used for the treatment of snakebite, as well as to repel snakes (Quattrocchi, 2012; Mabberley, 2008). Additionally, some species are employed as spices and used for the treatment of diverse health issues including asthma, burns, fever, high blood pressure, gastrointestinal problems, diarrhea, and malaria. Some are a rich source of diverse types of phytochemicals, including flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and triterpenoids, among others. The plants’ essential oil possesses important antimicrobial and antiseptic actions (Erdem et al., 2015; Celik et al., 2011).
Studies have shown that the methanolic extracts of E. heterophyllum possess active ingredients that have promising action for the treatment of infectious protozoan diseases, such as trypanosomiasis, for example (Molina-Garza, et al, 2014).
Safety / Precautions
Safety/Precautions:
- The safety of using this plant during pregnancy and lactation has not been established (Estrada and Morales, 2002).
- Avoid during pregnancy, as it may cause uterine contractions (Martinez, 1988).
- Do not use continuously for more than 8 weeks, as it can cause kidney damage (Jiménez, 2012).
- Products made from this plant may cause skin allergies in susceptible people (Estrada and Morales, 2002).
Dandelion is a plant with yellow flowers.Taraxacum officinale is the most common variety of this plant, and it grows in many parts of the world.
Botanists consider dandelions to be herbs. People use the leaves, stem, flower, and root of the dandelion for medicinal purposes.
The potential benefits of dandelion include:
1. Providing antioxidants
Antioxidants work to neutralize the harmful effects of free radicals. The human body produces free radicals naturally, but they cause harm by accelerating aging or the progression of certain diseases.
Dandelions contain beta-carotene, which is an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage. Research shows that carotenoids such as beta-carotene play a vital role in reducing cell damage.
The flower of the dandelion is also full of polyphenols, which are another type of antioxidant.
2. Reducing cholesterol
Dandelions contain bioactive compounds that may help lower a person's cholesterol.
Another study in mice found that dandelion consumption reduced total cholesterol and levels of fat in the liver. The researchers concluded that dandelion might one day help treat obesity-related nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
However, testing on humans is necessary to help determine how effective dandelion could be for lowering cholesterol.
3. Regulating blood sugar
There is some evidence to suggest that dandelions contain compounds that may help with regulating blood sugar.
In 2016, some researchers proposed that dandelion's antihyperglycemic, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory properties may help treat type 2 diabetes. However, further research is required to make any definitive claims.
4. Reducing inflammation
Some studies indicate that dandelion extracts and compounds may help reduce inflammation in the body.
In one 2014 study , researchers found that chemicals present in dandelions had some positive effects on reducing inflammatory responses.
They conducted the study in cells and not in human participants, which means that more studies are necessary to conclude that dandelion reduces inflammation in the human body.
5. Lowering blood pressure
There is little research to support the use of dandelion for lowering blood pressure.
However, dandelions are a good source of potassium. There is clinical evidence that shows that potassium can help reduce blood pressure.
For example, research has found that people taking a potassium supplement saw a reduction in their blood pressure, especially if they already had high blood pressure.
6. Aiding weight loss
Some researchers have proposed that dandelion could help people achieve their weight loss goals. This is based on the plant's ability to improve carbohydrate metabolism and reduce fat absorption.
A small study of mice found that chlorogenic acid, a chemical present in dandelions, may help reduce weight gain and lipid retention. Strong evidence to support this claim is lacking, however.
7. Reducing cancer risk
Some limited, but positive, research has indicated that dandelion may help reduce the growth of certain types of cancer.
So far, studies have looked at dandelion's impact on cancer growth in test tubes and found that it may help with slowing the growth of colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, and liver cancer.
However, as with other potential benefits, more research is required to show how effective dandelions can be as part of cancer treatment.
8. Boosting the immune system
There is growing evidence that suggests that dandelions can help boost the immune system.
Researchers have found that dandelions show both antiviral and antibacterial properties. For example, one 2014 study found that dandelions help limit the growth of hepatitis B in both human and animal cells in test tubes.
More research is now required to determine the impact of dandelions on the immune system, however.
9. Aiding digestion
Some people use dandelion as a traditional remedy for constipation and other digestion issues.
A study looking at animal digestion indicated that some chemicals present in dandelions helped improve the digestive system.
The study saw a reduction in the resistance in food moving to rodents' small intestines. Research is now needed on humans to test for similar results.
10. Keeping skin healthy
Some research indicates that dandelion may help protect the skin from sun damage.
Ultraviolet (UV) light causes considerable damage to the skin and contributes to skin aging. A 2015 study on skin cells in a test tube found that dandelion could reduce the impact of one type of damaging UV light.
Protecting the skin from UV damage can help a person look younger for longer. Research in humans is needed to verify these results.
People trying supplements should follow instructions on the bottle for recommended doses and always speak to a doctor before taking them.
MORINGA:
Overview Information
Moringa is a plant that is native to the sub-Himalayan areas of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. It is also grown in the tropics. The leaves, bark, flowers, fruit, seeds, and root are used to make medicine.Moringa is used for “tired blood” (anemia); arthritis and other joint pain (rheumatism); asthma; cancer; constipation; diabetes; diarrhea; epilepsy; stomach pain; stomach and intestinal ulcers; intestinal spasms; headache; heart problems; high blood pressure; kidney stones; fluid retention; thyroid disorders; and bacterial, fungal, viral, and parasitic infections.
Moringa is also used to reduce swelling, increase sex drive (as an aphrodisiac), prevent pregnancy, boost the immune system, and increase breast milk production. Some people use it as a nutritional supplement or tonic.
Moringa is sometimes applied directly to the skin as a germ-killer or drying agent (astringent). It is also used topically for treating pockets of infection (abscesses), athlete’s foot, dandruff, gum disease (gingivitis), snakebites, warts, and wounds.
Oil from moringa seeds is used in foods, perfume, and hair care products, and as a machine lubricant.
Moringa is an important food source in some parts of the world. Because it can be grown cheaply and easily, and the leaves retain lots of vitamins and minerals when dried, moringa is used in India and Africa in feeding programs to fight malnutrition. The immature green pods (drumsticks) are prepared similarly to green beans, while the seeds are removed from more mature pods and cooked like peas or roasted like nuts. The leaves are cooked and used like spinach, and they are also dried and powdered for use as a condiment.
The seed cake remaining after oil extraction is used as a fertilizer and also to purify well water and to remove salt from seawater.
Uses & Effectiveness
Insufficient Evidence for
- Asthma. Early research shows that taking 3 grams of moringa twice daily for 3 weeks reduces the severity of asthma symptoms and improves lung function in adults with mild to moderate asthma.
- Diabetes. The effect of moringa on diabetes control is unclear. Some early research shows that taking moringa tablets along with a type medicine called sulfonylureas does not improve blood sugar control as measured by hemoglobin A1C levels. But it does seem to reduce fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels compared to taking sulfonylureas alone in people with diabetes. Other research also shows that ttaking moringa drumstick leaves with meals might also reduce post-meal blood sugar levels in people with diabetes not taking medications for diabetes.
- HIV/AIDS. Early research shows that taking moringa leaf powder with each meal for 6 months might increase body mass index (BMI) but does not appear to improve immune function.
- High cholesterol. The effect of moringa on lowering cholesterol levels is not clear. Early research of poor quality shows mixed results. Additional research is needed.
- Increasing breast milk production. Research regarding the effects of moringa for increasing breast milk production is conflicting. Some early research shows that moringa increases milk production, while other early research shows no benefit. An analysis of data from five clinical studies shows that moringa moderately increases milk product after one week of use when started on postpartum day 3. But it's not clear if moringa is beneficial when used for longer periods of time.
- Malnutrition. Early research shows that adding moringa powder to food for 2 months helps improve weight in malnourished children.
- Menopausal symptoms. Early research shows that adding fresh moringa leaves to food for 3 months improves menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and sleeping problems in healthy, postmenopausal women.
- Vitamin A deficiency. Early research shows that adding moringa powder to infant cereal doesn't improve vitamin A levels in infants with low levels of vitamin A.
- Weight loss. Early research shows that taking a product containing moringa and other ingredients does not reduce weight. But it might improve body composition by reducing the amount of fat mass and increasing the amount of lean mass. The effect of moringa alone on weight loss is not known.
