Ashitaba and WOMEN'S Health


In Traditional Chinese Medicine as practiced currently in China and Japan, Ashitaba is used to activate Qi (energy or chi) and Xue (blood). This can also reduce hypertension and function as a diuretic without the side effects of western medicines. It also increases Kidney Yin and Yang Qi which helps with many menstrual difficulties and with the increase of libido (sex drive). Ashitaba is a gentle medicine that can be taken frequently and at bed time without the stimulating effect that Dang Gui (angelica sinensis) has, especially on women. Because ashitaba is gentler, it can be tolerated better by peri- menopausal women. -- This according to Dr. Kevin Lance Jones, L.Ac., O.M.D.

Ashitaba is very useful in treating menstrual cramps and pain, regardless of the age of the patient. It is also wonderful in making the four to six years of peri - menopause more comfortable.

"Dang Gui is one of the most popular Chinese herbal medicines known for its use in treatment of a wide variety of gynecological conditions that are generally not easily treated with conventional therapies, such as uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis and infertility. Dang Gui is especially important because it fills a therapeutic need not readily addressed in western conventional or herbal medicine" - Roy Upton AHP Exec Dir.

Dang Gui (
angelica sinensis) is commonly called 'women's ginseng' and "...It has been used for several hundred years for a broad range of gynecological conditions and can help broaden therapeutic options for women beyond hormone therapy replacement and hysterectomies. Hopefully increased use of dang gui and its appropriate formulas will help to eliminate at least a portion of the 600,000+ hysterectomies performed annually in the United States."- Roy Upton AHP Exec Dir.


Dr. Susan Mendrix of Wayne State University was quoted, saying

"We've got to find a better way to help women with their menopausal symptoms" after publishing a study that shows Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) not only increases a women's risk of breast cancer but also produces a more aggressive form. Other recent studies have shown HRT along with this increased risk of breast cancer does not help with prevention of heart disease and stroke, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's disease and other dementia as previously thought.

As mentioned above by
Dr. Jones, ashitaba is gentler than dang gui. So, in effect Ashitaba is better than women's ginseng (Dang Gui) for it has the added benefits of chalcone and chlorophyll along with its antibacterial and antiviral capabilities. 
Ashitaba is a very useful Lactogogue, that is, an agent which induces the secretion of mother's milk - especially with mastitis or low milk production after birth.

An added benefit of ashitaba is as a
skin and hair beautificant. Due to ashitaba's ability to reduce the damage done by free radicals to cells and by increasing blood circulation the skin remains supple and wrinkle free and hair grows thicker, the color shines and the hair does not become dry or brittle.

We tried to get pregnant for a few years in a local clinic. There were no results. We've tried everything possible but nothing. We were recommended to use donor eggs. I know we have to try herbal made medicine. I was terrified. I didn't know how to go about it and where to begin my search. When my friend recommended me to Dr Itua herbal medicine in Western African. I thought she was joking. I knew nothing about that country and I was afraid with shame I must say I thought it was a little bit...wild? Anyway she convinced me to at least check it out. I've done the research and thought that maybe this really is a good idea. Dr Itua has reasonable prices. Also it has high rates of successful treatments. Plus it uses Natural Herbs. Well I should say I was convinced. My Husband gave it a try and now we can say it was the best decision in our lives. We were trying for so long to have a child and suddenly it all looked so simple. The doctors and staff were so confident and hopeful they projected those feelings on me too. I am so happy to be a mother and eternally thankful to Dr Itua and Lori My Dear Friend. Don’t be afraid and just do it!

Goji Berries... yes... I tried those too.For my health conditions, Those sweet, red berries seemed to help, but only during the time when I consumed them. I don't want to take a drug for the rest of my life, so why would I want to take a natural supplement everyday for the rest of my life (although Goji berries are very tasty and are highly nourishing). To me this was not a cure either (and I'm LOOKING for the CURE).
Up to that point, I hadn't found a cure. I felt like a young jumbled mess. I continued to have extreme pain, but continued on my path to healing. I started to focus on myself and not everyone else. When I was a young adult, I took on too much responsibility out of a sense of obligation. This was no longer healthy for me, so I resigned from all my projects and groups. Those days to come were the best [and worst] days. I took a lot of time off work, yet begun to feel so extremely exhausted. Many health professionals "diagnosed" me with adrenal fatigue & Hiv,Prostate Cancer so my situation was annoying then I keep searching for permanent cure online that's when I came to know of Dr Itua herbal center hands whom god has blessed with ancestral herbs and a gift to heal people with disease like .Cancers,Alzheimer's disease,HPV,Men & Women Infertility,Melanoma, Mesothelioma, Diabetes, Multiple myeloma, Parkinson's disease,Neuroendocrine tumors,Herpes, Hiv/Aids,Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,, chronic diarrhea, COPD,Love spell, Hepatitis... So I made a purchase of his herbal medicines and I have been watching my health for 6 years now and I actually confirmed that his herbal medicines are a permanent cure and I'm so happy that I came to know of his herbal healings.You can contact Dr Itua herbal center Email: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com WhatsApp: +2348149277967. if you went through exactly what I go through in terms of health conditions because to be honest there is more to learn about natural herbs than medical drugs.
