Medicinal plants have been used to treat many illnesses from prehistoric times, and pre-dates written history. Today herbal treatments are used as a method of alternative medicine, which yields little to no negative side effects when used properly. One important benefit of using natural medicine is that they can treat the actual cause of the pain or disease, instead of just treating the symptoms. Medicinal herbs don't contain unnatural or man-made substances. Furthermore, natural remedies can be taken without creating dependency and other harmful side effects. Herbal medicine is often a more cost effective and more obtainable way to lead a healthy lifestyle. 

 

Herbal extracts are the foundation of all herbal preparations. Extracts separate the beneficial (medicinal) components of an herb from the fibrous, less useful part of the plant. Extracts can be in a liquid or powdered form. Liquid extracts are preferred over powdered extract, especially for kids and people who struggle with taking pills. Individuals who suffer from high levels of toxins may temporarily feel ill due to the die-off of the stored toxins until the body clears out the toxins. 

 

Olive leaf extract has antioxidant, antibacterial, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immune stimulating properties. Historically, olive leaf extract has been used for the prevention or treatment of inflammation, infections, diarrhea, allergies, and diseases such as Alzheimers, chronic fatigue syndrome, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and many other ailments.

Spirulina is a powerful antioxidant that contains phycocyanin, may help boost the immune system, balance blood sugar levels, lower blood pressure prevents reoccurring yeast infections, helps fight allergies, helps to remove heavy metals, increase endurance for athletes, helps with muscular endurance, and helps with weight management. 

 

Chlorella offers many of the same benefits as Spirulina. Chlorella may also help manage respiratory disease, helps improve cholesterol, promotes eye health, supports liver health, improves digestion, and relieves premenstrual syndrome (PMS). 

 

Both spirulina and chlorella serve as a magnet for toxins in the body and they do an excellent job of flushing them out. Both spirulina and chlorella counteract the effects of of radiation exposure and rebuild the body's immune system. Both spirulina and chlorella can be used in cancer prevention, and both have been shown to reduce cancerous tumors.
