Zinc Deficiency During Pregnancy Linked To Autism In Babies

 

Our bodies are built up from the food we eat. There is a constant breaking down of the tissues of the body; every movement of every organ involves waste, and this waste is repaired from our food. Each organ of the body requires its share of nutrition. The brain must be supplied with its portion…it is a wonderful process that transforms the food into blood and uses this blood to build up the varied parts of the body; but this process is going on continually, supplying with life and strength each nerve, muscle, and tissue.” {MH 295.1}

ZINC = The Brain Mineral

POWERFUL INFO ABOUT ZINC, INCLUDING WHICH PLANT FOODS ARE HIGH IN THIS MINERAL:


BIBLE:

“...Be in health... “  (3 John 2)

“...Eat ye that which is good...”  (Isaiah 55:2)


SOP:
Seventh-day Adventists are handling momentous truths...On the subject of temperance we should be in advance of all other people...”  {9T 158.1}

“In the study of hygiene...be taught the nutrient value of different foods.”  (Ed 204.3)

 

MEDICAL SCIENCE:

What Is Zinc?
Because so little is required in the body, zinc is referred to as a trace-mineral. It is essential for proper health and is found in almost every cell. It stimulates the activity of approximately 100 enzymes, which promote biochemical reactions in your body.

SOME FACTS ABOUT ZINC:

  • Supports your healthy immune system
  • Is necessary to synthesize DNA
  • Is essential for wound healing.
  • Is the #1 element that makes up the macular of the eye
  • Helps in cell division and liver function
  • During pregnancy, it is highly needed in order for the embryo & fetus to grow properly

WITHOUT ZINC IN THE DIET, THE FOLLOWING COULD OCCUR:

  • Colds & Flu
  • Sleep Disturbances
  • Mental Disorders
  • Poor Concentration
  • Acne
  • Skin Problems Including Very Dry Skin
  • Eye Problems, Especially Blindness
  • Shortened Stature
  • Lethargy
  • Poor Wound Healing
  • Poor Appetite
  • Diabetes
  • Infection
  • Impotence
  • Poor Blood Circulation
  • Alzheimer’s
  • Cancerous Tumors
  • Prostate Cancer And All Other Types Of Cancer
  • Arthritis
  • Diarrhea
  • Hair Loss
  • Eye And Skin Lesions
  • White Spots On Fingernails
  • Can Cause Problems With Sense Of Taste And Smell
  • Liver Problems
  • Trouble Seeing In The Dark
  • Ulcers

FOODS HIGH IN ZINC:

  • Sunflower Seeds - Considered one of the very highest sources
  • Pumpkin Seeds - Considered one of the very highest sources. Eating a handful a day would supply the body's  daily requirements.
  • Garbanzo Beans Aka Chickpeas - Considered to be one of the highest sources
  • Wheat Germ - One of the highest sources
  • Sesame Seeds - One of the highest sources
  • Maple Sugar - One of the highest sources
  • Oranges - High Source
  •  Garlic - High Source - This is why garlic is great for prostate cancer and other cancers.
  • Cashew Nuts
  • Soybeans
  • Brazil Nuts
  • Pine Nuts
  • Oats
  • Mung Beans
  • Whole Grains
  • Blackstrap Molasses
  • Alfalfa Sprouts
  • Spinach
  • Asparagus

THINGS THAT CAN DEPLETE ZINC FROM THE BODY:

  • A Diet that does not consist of fruit, vegetables, nuts, and grains (and seeds) on a daily basis
  • Secret Vice
  • Smoking Cigarettes
  • Smoking Marijuana
  • Excessive Physical Activity between a husband and wife
  • Medication
  • Certain Chemicals, Preservatives, etc.
  • Alcohol Consumption
  • Improper Amount Of Sleep
  • Improper Times of going to bed (this zaps the brain of this important mineral) 

In grains, fruit, vegetables, and nuts are to be found all the food elements that we need...” (CD 363.2)

“Much tact and discretion should be employed in preparing nourishing food to take the place of that which has formerly constituted the diet of those who are learning to be health reformers...A diet lacking in the proper elements of nutrition brings reproach upon the cause of health reform. We are mortal and must supply ourselves with food that will give proper nourishment to the body.” {9T 161.3}

WHAT ABOUT SUPPLEMENTING ZINC?
Medical science is now showing that extracted minerals and vitamins, without the other phytochemicals to counter-balance them out poses a dangerous risk.

IN THE SOP, WE ARE TOLD THE FOLLOWING ABOUT MANUFACTURE MINERALS
Every poisonous preparation in the vegetable and mineral kingdoms, taken into the system, will leave its wretched influence, affecting the liver and lungs.  --F. of F., p. 140. {HL 176.5}

“From our study of the testimonies and the little work, how to live, we can see that the Lord is strongly opposed to the use of drugs in our medical work. . . . several of the students are in doubt as to the meaning of the word 'drug' as mentioned in how to live. Does it refer only to the stronger medicines as mercury, strychnine, arsenic, and such poisons, the things we medical students call 'drugs,' or does it also include the simpler remedies, as potassium, iodine, squills, etc.? We know that our success will be proportionate to our adherence to God's methods. For this reason I have asked the above question.” {2SM 278.3}

“The first item in chapter 28, which follows immediately, is Mrs. White's reply to the inquiry of that medical student.”  -- White Trustees. {2SM 278.4}

“Your questions, [SEE INTRODUCTORY NOTE, PP. 276-278.] I will say, are answered largely, if not definitely, in How to Live. Drug poisons mean the articles which you have mentioned. The simpler remedies are less harmful in proportion to their simplicity; but in very many cases these are used when not at all necessary. There are simple herbs and roots that every family may use for themselves and need not call a physician any sooner than they would call a lawyer. I do not think that I can give you any definite line of medicines compounded and dealt out by doctors, that are perfectly harmless...” {2SM 279.1}

Although 50 mg a day/3 x day for Prostate Cancer has shown a significant improvement and a better improvement seen when combined with Bee Pollen & Pumpkin Seed Oil. pumpkin seeds are good.

Your Bra May Be Killing You Scientists Call For Boycott of Komen Boycott Komen Over Bra?

 

An interesting article online that goes with SOP quote...

“Because it is the fashion, many females place over their breasts paddings, to give the form the appearance of well-developed breasts. These appendages attract blood to the chest, and produce a dry, irritating heat. The veins, because of unnatural heat, become contracted and the natural circulation is obstructed. These appendages... result in obstructing the process of nature, making a healthy development of the breasts impossible. And if these become mothers, there cannot be a natural secretion of the fluids, to have a sufficient supply of nourishment for their offspring.” {HR, September 1, 1871 par. 4}

The bra/breast cancer connection is a thing of myth, according to the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the American Cancer Society (ACS). But at least five research studies have shown that there IS a strong connection between breast cancer and bra wearing for many hours per day. Some scientists are calling for a boycott of Komen and the ACS, because they say this cover-up is costing lives.

The problem with bras, according to medical anthropologists Sydney Ross Singer and Soma Grismaijer, is that they restrict the flow of lymphatic fluid, thereby retaining toxins in the breast that have nowhere to go. They compare it to the feet and ankle swelling that occurs on long flights, because the lymphatic fluid pools in the lower extremities and isn’t allowed to circulate.

Singer and Grismaijer, co-authors of Dressed To Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras, say that wearing a bra more than 12 hours a day dramatically increases the risk of getting breast cancer. A woman who wears a bra 24/7 is 125 times more likely to develop breast cancer than a woman who rarely or never wears a bra. Those who sleep in their bra, they found, have a 75% chance of developing breast cancer at some point in their lives.

Harvard did a study in 1991 that showed greatly increased incidence in breast cancer in those who wear bras over those who don’t.

This research has been shown to the Susan G. Komen Foundation as well as the American Cancer Society, and they have been aware of the research for at least 20 years. There are no studies that refute this. Yet nowhere in their information about breast cancer is there as much as a mention that taking off one’s bra at the end of the day can make a difference. That omission of information is what has Singer and Grismaijer so frustrated. It is why they are “calling for a boycott of these organizations until they stop dismissing the bra-cancer link, and begin educating doctors and women about the cancer hazards of wearing tight bras.”

SLEEPING WITHOUT BRA MAY REDUCE BREAST CANCER

Even limiting the wearing of tight bras can make a difference. Women who wear a bra more than 12 hours, but not to bed, have an one in seven risk of breast cancer, but wearing it less than 12 hours reduces her risk to one in 152, while cutting it out completely carries a one in 168 risk. Midwife Lisa Goldstein recommends that women take off the bra when they get home and massage the tissue that has been compressed to get the lymphatic fluids flowing properly.

Komen and the ACS could use some of their money to research this connection further, and possibly spare millions of women, yet they have chosen to cover up the research and stone-wall those who try to inform the public. While many of the Komen Foundation’s executives earn six-figure salaries, little or no money goes to research or educate the public about simple things that can make a huge difference. The Inquistr has reported that one Komen CEO was paid a salary of $417,000 in 2010.

It is notable, also, that many studies have linked breastfeeding with up to a 50% reduction in breast cancer, yet nowhere do the pink public service announcements and fund-raising campaigns tell young women this valuable information. La Leche League is the organization that has been responsible for getting that information out, but their budget is tiny compared to the deep pockets of Komen and the ACA.

Singer and Grismaijer have a suggestion beyond the boycott. They propose that whenever the ACS or Komen Foundation ask for a donation, send them your bra, instead! This will give them the message, and help you prevent breast cancer at the same time.”

Does this mean ladies are not to wear a bra? NO, it means wear 100% cotton bras and no padding!

Xylitol – Is It Safe or Effective?

 

Consuming 1.4 ounces of Xylitol per day will cause diarrhea in many subjects according to a study conducted in 1977. On Xylitol.org the page sates, “In the amounts needed to prevent tooth decay (less than 15 grams per day), xylitol is safe for everyone.” 15 grams of xylitol is about 0.5 ounces. What about doses over 15 grams?

WHAT IS XYLITOL?
Xylitol is a 5-carbon sugar alcohol found in many fruits and vegetables and produced in small amounts by the human body. Xylitol is also found in things like hardwood. Keep in mind that the xylitol in chewing gum is not necessarily the same thing as xylitol in fruits or vegetables because it has to be treated and processed in order to extract the sugar crystals from the fruit or vegetable. This is akin to the differences between synthetic vitamins and naturally occurring vitamins in foods. They are not the same thing.


HOW IS XYLITOL MADE?
A search of patents online explains one process for making xylitol, tell me if this sounds healthy? You begin with some source material containing xylan. One commonly used source is corn imported from China.

1. First the xylan needs to be broken down in a process called acid hydrolyzing. The results of this process leave us with xylose and acetic acid. The process of hydrogenation is carried out at higher pressures and temperatures ranging from 158 degrees Fahrenheit and higher. Hydrogenation needs a catalyst, so a substance called Raney nickel can be used which is a powdered nickel-aluminum alloy.

2. The acetic acid needs to be removed as the material safety data sheet describes it as, “Very hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. Hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive, permeator), of eye contact (corrosive).”

3. Then the hydrolyzing acid and organic residues must be removed, this is done by heating the mixture and evaporating it.

4. The resulting syrup, now free of acetic acid, hydrolyzing acid, nick-aluminum and other residues.

5. The syrup is crystallized by stirring ethanol into it.

6. The crystalline xylitol is now separated in a centrifuge from the ethanol and from the sorbitol remaining in solution.

7. Viola, you have xylitol.

 

HEALTH CLAIMS


It is obvious to me, as it might be to you, that XYLITOL, in addition to killing bacteria, will probably kill just about anything. This clearly explains why it is only recommended to be used in small doses. Yet if you go to a health food store, you will see larger sized bags of xylitol on the shelf, promoting its many health uses.

HEALTH CONCERNS
In lab tests, xylitol will kill a rat 50% of the time in a dosage of 16.5 grams of xylitol for every 1000 grams of rat. Medium rats weigh 100-120 grams, or say .25 pounds. That means, to kill a 100 gram rat, you need only to get the rat to consume, 1.65 grams of xylitol.
A typical xylitol piece of gum contains .7-1 gram of xylitol.
About half the amount needed to kill a rat. I read of a study stating that humans consumed up to 400 grams of xylitol per day without any ill health effects. I find that hard to believe that such a study is accurate in comparison to the lab tests done as indicated on the material safety data sheets. If 1.65 grams can kill a rat, consuming 400 grams would be highly toxic to humans.

A more detailed look gives cause for even more concern, there seems to be no long term safety data about the long term health effects of regularly consuming xylitol. The data sheets state:

“Epidemiology: No information found
Teratogenicity: No information found
Reproductive Effects: No information found
Mutagenicity: No information found
Neurotoxicity: No information found”


Critics will claim that lethal doses on material data sheets are not conclusive proof. But I must ask this question, has xylitol been proven conclusively to be safe or effective?

WHAT ABOUT CAVITY FIGHTING POWER?
Let's assume you don't mind your liver being poisoned or the diarrhea side effects that are possible from xylitol gum or mints, because you want to fight the cavities. While one would assume that there is a huge body of evidence showing that xylitol prevents cavities, an article published in 2006 in the Journal of the American Dental Association volume 137, states, “Some studies claimed that xylitol-sweetened gum had an anticariogenic effect, though these claims need further study.” This basically says that any evidence that xylitol sweetened gums stops cavities is not conclusive and requires further study.

CONCLUSIONS ABOUT XYLITOL
Xylitol is a processed sugar. After being hydrogenated and having toxic chemicals added to xylan from corn or other plant material, and then removed, you get xylitol. For anyone who wants to be healthy, the first thing that is pretty much unanimous about any diet or protocol to restore your health, is that you need to avoid processed sugars. While there is a variety of opinions on what foods to eat in replacement of processed sugar, it is blatantly clear that processed sugars, like xylitol, are extremely harmful to humans. Perhaps, xylitol has special uses in special cases; as a regular part of your diet, it is clearly a poor idea.

Xylitol might inhibit bacteria growth, but so does white sugar. Xylitol's dirty little secret is that even in moderate doses of larger than 15 grams, which is approximately 3 teaspoons, xylitol's own promotional material says it is not safe for everyone to use. Children being smaller and less developed than adults, will obviously be much more sensitive to xylitol's effects.

The way to prevent and control cavities is not with a processed sugar chewing gum or mint, but rather with a good diet. A good diet that is capable of preventing cavities is generally low in sugar, and high in absorbable vitamins and minerals, particularly fat-soluble vitamins in foods like avocado, coconut, the germ of wheat. Also use soy, almond, rice or nut milks, plenty of vegetables, fruits, grains and nuts.

If you want healthy teeth and gums, you need to avoid processed sugar's like xylitol.

Avoiding other processed foods like processed sugar, white flour and other foods not made from freshly ground grains, vegetable oils, soft drinks, artificial flavors, preservatives, milk, and other non-organic, non-wholesome foods will help increase your immunity to cavities.


I have found that there is no short cut to good wholesome whole foods for health.

Is Xylitol safe or effective?

The answer is clear.

Xanthan Gum

I read that “General Mills has been hit with a second putative class action lawsuit alleging that shoppers are being misled by ‘natural’ claims on Annie’s salad dressings containing xanthan gum….” 1

Xanthan gum is used as an alternative to gluten and is used in many gluten-free products. Its use has recently risen steeply as a binding agent in baking and as a thickener in many other common food and personal care products from cheese substitutes and salad dressings to toothpaste and shampoos—even those marked vegan and organic.

Its clean-looking white powder doesn’t really raise the suspicions of most people as to its shocking origins. The following description still leaves out a bit of the truth. Xanthan gum is made from a bacteria found on the leaf surfaces of green vegetables, including broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, rutabaga, and turnip. THE BACTERIA IS FERMENTED (much like cheese or wine), then dried and ground into powder.” 2

But let’s dig a little deeper. “Xanthan gum (/ˈzænθən/) is a polysaccharide …. and derives its name from the species of bacteria used, Xanthomonas campestris…” 3 OK, now the connecting point—“Xanthan gum derives its name from the species of bacteria used during the fermentation process, Xanthomonas campestris. This is the same bacterium responsible for causing black rot to form on broccoli, cauliflower, and other leafy vegetables.” 3. Here perhaps a picture is worth a thousand words. How about this for a Headline, “Mothers now urge Children to eat Rotten Broccoli since Bacterial ‘Miracle’ turns Plant Disease into New Best-selling ‘Health’ Food”

“ACTUALLY THE WAY THAT XANTHAN GUM IS MANUFACTURED IS QUITE FASCINATING:

1. First, it is produced when glucose, sucrose or lactose is fermented by the bacteria, which infects many cruciferous plants (like cauliflower and cabbage) and causes diseases, such as bacterial wilt and black rot.

2. Then, it is precipitated (made into a solid) by isopropyl alcohol.

3. After being dried, it is ground into a fine powder so it can be added to liquid to form gum.” 4

So how does this bacteria affect plants? “After gaining access to a plant‘s vascular tissues, the bacteria use the glucose transported in those tissues to produce a sticky, gumlike substance [xanthan]. This substance builds up to form gumlike masses, which eventually block the plant's transport of nutrients.” 5 However, most sources state that xanthan is safe for human consumption with only minor side effects. Notwithstanding, The Journal of Pediatrics in August 2012 reported “Late Onset Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Infants following Use of a Xanthan Gum-Containing Thickening Agent” 6 “Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the death of tissue in the intestine. It occurs most often in premature or sick babies. NEC occurs when the lining of the intestinal wall dies.” 7

So now we have black rot bacteria, meshed with rubbing alcohol, creating xanthan, which has been shown to cause tissue death in babies. Why not add a little more biotechnology? “The average American consumes more than 30 pounds of cheese annually, and every pound of cheese creates 9 pounds of the liquid by-product called whey. When researchers at the US. Department of Agriculture (USDA) wanted to find some useful product that could be made out of whey, they thought of turning it into xanthan. However, because whey is mostly water and lactose, researchers had to figure out how to get X. campestris to produce xanthan using lactose rather than glucose…[fast-forward]…The final result was a process in which 40 g/L of whey powder was converted into 30 g/L of xanthan gum. A quick survey of labels in your neighborhood supermarket will demonstrate just how successful this product was.” 5

A few questions come to mind---

#1 – Is xanthan natural? Do you naturally eat rotten broccoli?

#2 – Is xanthan always vegan? Apparently not.

#3 – Is xanthan food? According to Webster’s 1828 dictionary, food is “In a general sense, whatever is eaten by animals for nourishment, and whatever supplies nutriment to plants.” Does black rot supply nutriment to plants?

#4 – Should we be eating xanthan gum? That is for you to decide for yourself. I’ll be replacing it with real foods that grow on plants instead of killing plants. Some foods that have similar characteristics include the gel from chia, flaxseed, and guar gum (from a bean similar to green beans) and locust bean gum (carob), or even psyllium husk. Consider the words of Proverbs 30:8, Remove far from me vanity and lies... feed me with food convenient [ordinary, regular*] for me:"

Wound Remedies


We have all experienced a wound at some point in our lives, but who knew that the answer to a hasty recovery could be found right in our fridge or cupboard? There are many home remedies for cuts, scrapes, bruises, burns, and other wounds that can help stave away infection and even help the wound heal faster. Here are 15 natural home remedies for cuts, scrapes, and bruises! 


1. Honey
Honey is a great way to speed up wound healing. According to some findings, honey is actually more effective than antibiotics! In lab tests, honey has been found to kill off the majority of bacterial cells and can prevent infections from occurring in the first place.

When honey gets diluted with the blood and tissues of the wound, hydrogen peroxide is produced via a glucose oxidase enzyme reaction. This is released slowly, and provides antibacterial activity while keeping tissue healthy and un-damaged! Spread some honey on a dressing and apply this to the wound. If the wound is deeper, the wound bed should be filled with honey, and then wrapped with a dressing pad.

2. Garlic
Allicin in garlic is as effective as a 1% penicillin solution! It is a great anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal and can help heal almost any wound. Garlic can cause damage to the skin, however, so make sure you don’t leave it on the skin for longer than 20-25 minutes. You can make a mix of 3 crushed garlic cloves and 1 cup of grape juice, blended, let stand for 2-3 hours, and strain. Apply to the wound with a clean cloth 1-2 times a day.

3. Calendula
This beautiful little flower is considered a vulnerable agent (a substance that promotes healing). This plant is an anti-inflammatory too, and is slightly anti-microbial. It can be used topically to help heal abrasions, skin infections, and internally infected mucous membranes. You can buy calendula salves at health food stores, and you can use this to apply to your wounds. For internal infections, make a calendula tea with 1 cup of warm water and 1 Tablespoon of calendula flowers.

4. Chamomile
Another flower with great wound-healing properties – chamomile! Also known for its awesome relaxation properties, chamomile is one of the most ancient medicinal herbs known to mankind! The dried flowers contain many terpenoids and flavonoids, making it a powerful herbal medicine. Chamomile has even been found in some studies to be much faster at healing wounds than some corticosteroids. Make a chamomile press for your wound by soaking some chamomile tea bags in water, lightly draining some of the liquid, and then wrapping these tea bags around your wound with some gauze. Alternatively, you can likely find chamomile tinctures or natural ointments in your local health food store.

5. Marshmallow Root
Marshmallow root is not the same as the sugary white cylinders you can find in the candy section at your grocery store – this plant is actually incredibly healing to wounds inflicted on the body. Marshmallow root is great for drawing out toxins and other bacteria found in wounds when used as a poultice, and it can shorten the healing time by drawing out impurities. It can also be used to heal burns and bruises! Creating a poultice with marshmallow and applying it to your wound can speed wound healing!

6. Cayenne Pepper
Cayenne pepper is great for helping blood to clot faster at the site of your wound and also disinfects the wound due to its anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. Cayenne pepper will stop wound bleeding in 10-12 seconds, and if the wound is more severe, have the afflicted individual consume an 8-oz. glass of water with 1 tsp. cayenne can significantly help out too!

7. Potato
Potatoes can heal wounds? That was the first thing I thought too! Potatoes have this type of gravitational pull which draws out infections from any type of wound or abscess. Make a raw potato poultice with shredded potatoes and maintain this throughout the day, changing it every 4 hours or so (and rinsing with salt water in between). This will ensure that inflammation is reduced and that there will be no chance of infection! To make a poultice, shred raw potato with a grater, and spread this onto a clean cloth. Apply to the affected area, and cover with gauze and then some saran wrap or other material of choice. Leave overnight and remove in the morning. Clean the affected area with salty water, cover with a clean dressing, and continue until healed.

8. Lavender
The amazing benefits of lavender were accidentally discovered by a French scientist, René, Gattefossé, who was severely burned in a laboratory accident and immersed his hand in a vat of Lavender. He found that this oil promoted hasty tissue regeneration without any scarring! Use lavender essential oil to help promote natural wound healing. Use topically 2-5 times per day by applying 2-4 drops on the wound area. Dilute as required!

9. Aloe Vera
We all know Aloe Vera can help heal burns, but the sap from an Aloe Vera plant can also be used to treat cuts, scrapes, and other sores. Simply cutting off a stalk of the Aloe Vera plant and applying it to the wound every couple of hours can significantly reduce healing time.

10. Goldenseal
This plant is known for its antiseptic and astringent properties. It can be used for cuts, wounds, infections, bites, and stings and is also used internally to help treat sinus infections and inflammation of the stomach and intestinal tract. The main components of goldenseal are alkaloids called berberine and hydrastine which help destroy many types of bacterial and viral infections. Use goldenseal ointment on your wounds (found in local health stores), and watch your healing time drastically reduce!

11. Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree essential oil is one of the best ways to treat a wound to help prevent infection. It is a great antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal. Tea tree oil is so effective that it can actively attack and eliminate staff infections such as MRSA. The aborigines of Australia used tea tree leaves to heal skin infections and wounds and burns by crushing tea tree leaves and holding them in place with a mud pack. Thankfully, we can just use tea tree oil applied 3-5 times a day to effectively heal our wounds quickly and efficiently.

12. Coconut Oil
Coconut oil, amongst a million other things it can do, can effectively heal wounds! It has amazing antibacterial and antifungal properties and can even prevent scarring of wounds too! Use coconut oil on your wound to help speed recovery – apply coconut oil under a bandaid and re-fresh 2-3 times a day. Watch your cut heal in no time!

13. Witch Hazel
Witch hazel is a wonderful astringent that contains procyanidins, resin, and flavonoids, all of which make it a very soothing, anti-inflammatory plant. Soaking a cloth in some with hazel and applying it to cuts, bruises, and other wounds can significantly reduce swelling and speed up recovery time. Witch hazel can also control bleeding to help reduce bleeding, apply witch hazel to a fresh wound and wrap it up in gauze.

14. Juniper Leaves & Berries
Juniper berries, which were also used as a flavoring for gin back in the 17th century, are also very useful in the treatment of inflamed joints and wounds. These berries are very rich in B vitamins and vitamin C, which make them great for speeding up the recovery time of cuts, scrapes, and other wounds. Juniper berries contain antibacterial and antiseptic properties as well, so they are great for treating numerous wounds or sores like psoriasis, eczema, and other skin problems!

15. Comfrey Root
The genus name for comfrey is Symphytum, which literally means to “unite or knit together.” Comfrey contains a substance called allantoin, which helps cells grow faster, so it literally improves the healing time of broken bones, mends wounds quickly, and helps burns heal quickly with little scarring. In fact, comfrey is often called knitbone! Allantoin is also found in the placenta of pregnant women to help the baby grow and develop in a decent amount of time. Use comfrey as a poultice next time you break a bone or get a bruise, cut, scrape or other wound.
