HaWtHorn—Strengthens heart, helps reduce blood pressure, dilates coronary
blood vessels, reduces hypertension and stabilizes heart rhythm. It increases
enzyme action and improves oxygen utilization in the heart. Hawthorn berry raises
metabolism and increases thermogenesis. It helps to prevent atherosclerosis and
improves conditions such as hypoglycemia, low blood pressure, kidney trouble
and arthritis. Motherwort is another heart tonic that calms and supports the heart
and nerves.
HemP seeD—Hemp seed contain all the essential amino acids and essential
fatty acids and is the most complete easily digested protein found in nature. Shelled
hempseed is packed with 33 % pure digestible protein and is rich in iron as well as
omega-3 and Omega 6. Hemp also contains three times the vitamin E contained
in flax. Nearly three quarters of body solids are proteins built from amino acid sub
units. The best way to insure the body has enough amino acid material to make the
globulin proteins is to eat foods high in globulin proteins...Globulin is the third
most abundant protein in your body. Since hemp seed protein is 65% globulin
edistin, and also includes quantities of albumin, its protein is readily available in
a form quite similar to that found in blood plasma. Eating hemp seeds will insure
the immune system has the reservoir of immunoglobulin resources needed to make
disease destroying antibodies. Hemp seed is used for fertility, strength, digestive
and urinary difficulties. cannabidiol (cBD) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid
of Marijuana/Hemp is effective in treating spasms associated with movement
disorders such as epilepsy, Huntington’s Disease, muscular dystrophy and multiple
sclerosis; as well as improving inflammatory disorders and immunity.
HimalaYan Pine Pollen (not bee pollen)—This is organic, pure pollen
harvested from pristine, chemical free pine trees at 12,000 feet in the virgin
Himalayan mountains. This pollen is considered to have the highest chi of all
herbs, helps boost the body’s oxygen capacity, increase energy and endurance, and
maintain healthy cholesterol levels, also helps strengthen immunity and deliver
extraordinary antioxidant protection to support the body’s anti-aging systems.
Horsetail—(See Silicon section).
KaVa KaVa—Kava has been used traditionally as a anti-convulsant, for anxiety,
sedative, muscle relaxant, stress, restlessness, nervousness and insomnia, but does
not impair mental function or cause sedation. In the brain, kavalactones facilitate
GABA transmission and bind to sodium and calcium channels, prolonging
inactivation. Slow-wave activity on the EEG is increased. Kava has been shown to
have a slight anti-fungal activity and it helps protect the nerves from damage due
to ischemia. Animal studies have found only weak antiseizure effects, however,
and they have not been tested against seizures in humans. Because it is a neural
inhibitor it is best not to take Kava during the down-cycles and especially during
the exhaustion phase, however it might be helpful to tone down hyperactivity and
protect nerves during the up-cycles of kundalini.
