Ancient cultures recognized myrtle for its healing properties and used it to treat a range of internal and external health issues.Myrtle leaves, rich in essential oils and active phytonutrients, were commonly used as an aromatic herb to support digestion, respiratory health and skin healing. The fruit, packed with beneficial nutrients, was often eaten raw or infused to create tonics for digestive comfort and immunity.
Recent research has built on these traditional uses, identifying specific compounds in myrtle, such as myrtol, a natural antibiotic that helps fight infections. Scientific studies have also observed that myrtle may balance hormones, improve respiratory conditions and support kidney health. Detailed below are some of the health benefits offered by myrtle.
Helps regulate blood sugar
Emerging studies suggest that myrtle might help regulate blood sugar. Some compounds in myrtle, including flavonoids and volatile oils, have demonstrated potential in helping manage blood sugar – although this effect is still under investigation.
For those managing diabetes, myrtle could be a complementary approach to maintaining blood glucose stability. However, individuals with diabetes need to consult a healthcare professional before adding myrtle or any new supplement to their routine.
Supports digestive health and immune system
Traditionally, myrtle berries and leaves were brewed into teas and tonics to soothe digestive issues, like bloating, indigestion and even more severe conditions, such as dysentery. The carminative (gas-relieving) properties of myrtle fruit make it particularly effective for easing digestive discomfort.
The fruit can also provide a natural boost to the immune system due to its antibacterial qualities, which help fend off infections and promote general wellness.
Supports heart health
Myrtle is rich in antioxidants, particularly flavonoids, such as myricetin, which have been shown to protect the heart and cardiovascular system. These antioxidants work by reducing the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein or LDL (bad cholesterol).
Preventing oxidation is crucial for maintaining healthy blood vessels and reducing the risk of atherosclerosis – a condition where arteries narrow and harden due to the buildup of fatty deposits (plaque) on their inner walls, restricting blood flow.
While more research is needed to confirm myrtle's direct impact on health health, incorporating it into a balanced healthy lifestyle may contribute to overall heart and cardiovascular support.
Supports thyroid and reproductive health
Myrtle essential oil has been explored for its potential effects on the endocrine system – especially regarding thyroid health and reproductive hormone balance.
In aromatherapy and herbal practices, myrtle oil is sometimes used to regulate hormone production, which can support reproductive health in women.
Though promising, these effects are still being studies and anyone with hormonal concerns should seek professional medical guidance when considering myrtle as a remedy.
Offers cognitive benefits
Recent research into myrtle has highlighted the cognitive benefits of its powerful antioxidants. Myricetin in myrtle has shown potential in preventing the formation of beta-amyloid fibrils, which are associated with cognitive decline and conditions like Alzheimer's disease. By supporting healthy brain function, myrtle may help keep the mind clear and sharp, though it is best used as part of a comprehensive approach to cognitive health.
Supports respiratory health
Myrtle is known for its respiratory benefits and has long been used in traditional medicine to address bronchial congestion, coughs and sinus infections.
Myrtle essential oil is a common ingredient in aromatherapy, where it is used to calm the respiratory tract – making it easier to breathe. People with conditions like asthma or bronchitis may find relief when they inhale myrtle vapor as it can help clear airways and reduce irritation for better oxygen flow.
Supports skin health
One of the most popular uses for myrtle is in skincare. The plant's essential oil is known for its antibacterial and antiseptic properties. Topically, diluted myrtle essential oil can help clear up blemishes, reduce redness and promote faster skin healing.
The essential oil extracted from its bark, flowers and leaves is frequently used in perfumes, soaps and other products for its refreshing aroma and skin-soothing properties.
In the Balearic Islands, a traditional perfume called "aigua de murta" has been made for centuries. This fragrant water is believed to have rejuvenating effects on the skin – offering a gentle, natural alternative to modern beauty products.
Additionally, a traditional product called "eau d'ange" or "angel water" – made from myrtle flowers – is used as a rejuvenating facial spray and skin toner. Even today, myrtle extracts are commonly found in natural cosmetics and skin care products – valued for their gentle, soothing effects on the skin.

Is memory loss and decreased brain power inevitable as we age? Many people in their 40s, 50s and beyond are told that it is and there is nothing that can be done about it. Is that true? Of course not (Article republished from GreenMedInfo.com)
Steps can be taken to not only stop memory loss, but also reverse it. Here is a simple step. New research from Rush University Medical Center in Chicago found that eating just one serving of leafy green vegetables a day takes a decade off an aging brain. Two servings produced even greater effects. I explain how below.
Background Data:
There is considerable evidence that diets that are high in green leafy vegetables; highly-colored vegetables such as carrots, yams, and squash; and flavonoid-rich fruits like citrus, berries, and cherries are associated with prevention of age-related memory decline and Alzheimer’s disease. In particular, two large studies have shown that the consumption of green leafy vegetables, including spinach, kale, collards, and lettuce, had the strongest association with slowing down cognitive decline due to aging.
Exactly which nutrients in green leafy vegetables responsible for this effect is unknown, but it is thought to be the entire payload versus any single nutrient or phytochemical. That said, some studies have shown significant protective effects of individual dietary components against cognitive decline. For example, there are studies that report protective effects against dementia with higher dietary intakes of folate, beta-carotene, lutein, and vitamin K1. However, all of these nutrients have different mechanisms of action in offering protection indicating a synergistic effect is undoubtedly expected.
New Data:
To increase understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying the association, the researchers at Rush investigated the individual relations to cognitive decline of the primary nutrients and bioactives in green leafy vegetables, including vitamin K1 (phylloquinone), lutein, ?-carotene, nitrate, folate, kaempferol, and ?-tocopherol.
The study involved the 960 participants of the Memory and Aging Project, ages 58-99 years, who completed a food frequency questionnaire and had ?2 cognitive assessments over a mean 4.7 years. The data was adjusted for age, sex, education, participation in cognitive activities, physical activities, smoking, and seafood and alcohol consumption. After controlling for these factors, consumption of green leafy vegetables was associated with slower cognitive decline; the decline rate for those in the highest quintile of intake (median 1.3 servings/d) was slower by the equivalent of being 11 years younger in age. Higher intakes of each of the nutrients and bioactives except ?-carotene were individually associated with slower cognitive decline.
The conclusion was very clear, consumption of approximately 1 serving per day of green leafy vegetables and foods rich in phylloquinone, lutein, nitrate, folate, ?-tocopherol, and kaempferol help to slow cognitive decline with aging.
Commentary:
In addition to diet, nutritional supplements are also important. In particular, a high potency multiple vitamin and mineral formula and 1,000 mg of EPA and DHA (combined) from a quality fish oil should be considered foundational supplements. Research has clearly established that B vitamin supplements and EPA+DHA can help prevent mental decline in older people with memory problems. Furthermore, an international team led by Oxford University has now found that having higher levels of these nutrients can actually give the brain a boost in people with mild cognitive function. In addition, I would also recommend taking coenzyme Q10 with PQQ, phosphatidylserine, and curcumin to help boost brain function in anyone dealing with symptoms of mental decline.

Sermon 41: Mike Adams discusses the uses and benefits of MYRRH

For his 41st sermon for the Church of Natural Abundance, the Health Ranger Mike Adams touched on the uses and benefits of myrrh.
He based his sermon from the Gospel of St. John, which mentions Nicodemus bringing "a mixture of myrrh and aloes" to embalm and preserve the physical body of Christ. According to the Bible nutrition educator, this was an embalming mixture of resins made up of myrrh and aloes.
It is worth noting that Nicodemus, one of the secret followers of Christ, was involved in an earlier exchange with Jesus – which the gospel writer also mentions. Myrrh is also mentioned in the Bible as one of the three gifts offered by the Magi alongside gold and frankincense (Matthew 2:11).
Aside from being used as a spice, myrrh was used as an ingredient of the anointing oil used in the Tabernacle. It is also used as a perfume, leading to its association with wealth and beauty. Myrrh has also been used as a salve for the purification of the dead, just like how Nicodemus used it to preserve Christ's body.
Winifred Walker, in her 1962 book "All the Plants of the Bible," explained that myrrh in the Old Testament came from rockrose – a small plant that grew among the sand and rocks. The gum collected from the rockrose was then pressed into cakes and used as a perfume. Meanwhile, the New Testament myrrh came in the form of a soft and dark resin collected from a small tree and sold in golden pieces called "tears" or "pearls."
The Health Ranger continued that myrrh extract serves as a salve, stimulant or expectorant. It can also be used as a fixative or fragrance in creams, detergents, lotions, perfumes and soaps. Myrrh gum makes a good mucilage, while the insoluble residue from the myrrh tincture can be used as a glue.
Myrrh oil can be used as an astringent in mouthwashes and gargles as it addresses spongy gums, ulcerated throats and mouth sores. It it also helpful in treating bronchial inflammations and vaginal infections. Myrrh oil can be used topically, i.e. applied on the skin. (Related: Myrrh oil is worth more than gold when it comes to the health benefits it provides.)
Myrrh is used as medicine worldwide
According to Dr. James Duke's book "Herbs of the Bible," myrrh was deemed "a panacea for almost every human affliction from earaches to hemorrhoids" in Mesopotamia and the Greco-Roman realms. On the other side of the world, Asians used myrrh as an astringent tonic taken internally and a cleansing agent applied externally. The Chinese apply myrrh to relieve spasms and to stimulate digestive fluids.
The Bible nutrition educator also noted the various uses of myrrh in Africa. Women in Egypt carry myrrh pearls in their handbags as perfume. Algerians, meanwhile, dress open wounds with myrrh resin, owing to its antibacterial properties.
Myrrh is made into a healing beverage in East Africa, with Tanzanians making tea from the myrrh bark to treat diarrhea and stomachache. Ugandans pound the unripe myrrh seeds and add water to make a warming drink.
West Africans use myrrh as an insecticide to repel termites, while different countries in Africa's western portion use myrrh in many other ways. Meanwhile, Ghanaians fumigate their clothing with the fragrant smoke of the burning myrrh wood. A decoction brewed from the myrrh bark is used to cure male infertility in the Ivory Coast, while the same decoction is used to treat insanity and tapeworms in Nigeria.

Mold often OVERLOOKED as cause of sicknesses, anxiety and depression

When most people assess the cause of any anxiety or depression they are experiencing, they are quick to blame social and emotional forces that are working “against them” due to bad experiences and trauma. That’s what comes to mind, and it’s also what most psychologists and psychiatrists dwell on for diagnosis, but what if the main cause of anxiety and depression was something completely different and totally physical, plus something easily cured and prevented, for future reference?Mold is like an invisible cause of anxiety and depression that most people or doctors don’t even consider, and there are over 100,000 types of molds that can grow indoors and outdoors. Molds can be classified as allergenic, toxigenic (causes deadly health conditions) or pathogenic (disease-causing), and they are harmful whether they are ingested or inhaled. In the home, mold often grows in warm, damp and dimly lit areas, like bathrooms, attics and basements.
Some folks are much more sensitive to mold than others, and symptoms can become apparent early on from exposure, including coughing, wheezing, stuffy nose, headaches, fatigue, digestive issues, shortness of breath, exacerbated asthma, irritated eyes and skin, and lung infections. Chronic exposure, ingestion or inhalation can lead to liver and kidney conditions, pulmonary bleeding, and liver cancer.
It's important to keep humidity in the home as low as possible, fix water leaks asap, and clean up thoroughly after a flood or burst pipe. Also, be sure to ventilate water prone areas. If mold develops, use a bleach solution or hydrogen peroxide (less harsh) to kill it, preferably in a spray bottle and use a scrub brush. An organic solution is to use distilled white vinegar with baking soda, wipe down the area, let it sit for an hour, then clean. If you feel overwhelmed, hire an expert who has proper supplies for toxigenic mold.
Science reveals that mold is linked to mental health problems, including higher rates of depression and mood disorders
Science shows that mold is linked to mental health problems. Chronic exposure to mold can exacerbate mood disorders, including depression and anxiety, plus impact cognitive function and memory. Don’t let it come to that. Research reveals people living in homes with mold experience higher rates of depression. Let that sink in for a minute. You or a loved one might think you’re depressed due to stress, situations and experiences, when it’s the mold that’s driving the issue.
In fact, depression needs to be redefined as an infectious disease, instead of an “emotional disorder.” Especially since depression is often the result of an infection from microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses or parasites. Realize this is preventable and curable, rather than some “chemical imbalance” that can only be “treated” or “managed” with prescription medications.
Frankly, when someone feels anxious or depressed, a first order of business should be to be examined for infection from mold, parasites, bacteria and viruses. This could preempt other diagnoses that could be unfounded and avoid dangerous medications that can cause horrific side effects. If you’ve lost interest in getting out of bed in the morning, there’s probably a whole lot more to it than just stress. You could be suffering from inflammation of the brain from pathogens or parasites, and how you feel is simply a symptom of this infection.
Here are some common places you might find mold, so be on the lookout, and nip it in the bud, get rid of it and avoid eating it or breathing it in. Be careful when buying mushrooms. Rinse them well before cooking and cut them up so you can see all parts, as mold can hide underneath or inside the caps. Fruit, like raspberries, oranges and blueberries, can hide mold on the bottom side or even on the inside where you don’t notice at first glance. Check them all before you simply gobble down a whole bunch.
Windowsills and windowpanes are common places to find mold where the moisture builds up. Inside and on vent screens you might find mold building up, and this could blow spores around the rooms of the house or office, becoming easy to inhale and cause infection. Bathrooms, since there’s much water running and left standing on counters, tubs, showers and the toilet, are prime spots for mold to develop.

Dr. Jack Kruse discusses the body’s INNATE REGENERATION capabilities in a bombshell interview with the Health Ranger
11/21/2024 // Kevin Hughes // 820 Views

https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-conte...-Wellbeing.jpg
Neurosurgeon Dr. Jack Kruse joined the Health Ranger Mike Adams on "Health Ranger Report" to talk about the body's electric regeneration.The CEO of Kruse Longevity Center in Destin, Florida said mitochondria – the powerhouse of the cells – emit light and act as a photolithography fabrication plant to make proteins in the human body. These proteins form half of the semiconductor system alongside water, and both elements have to work together.
Kruse cited the work of the late Dr. Robert O. Becker (1923-2008), who mentioned that the regeneration or healing in the human body always begins with an electric current, particularly the direct current (DC). The neurosurgeon continued that the DC electric current comes from the sun, and all energy within the body comes externally from the sun – similar to how photosynthesis in plants work.
"There's a process in the body where we are able to take terrestrial sunlight, and they get it down to 1/1000 of a millionth of a current, of DC electric current," Kruse said. "And we use that to differentiate our red blood cells to go back to other stem cells to heal our tissues."
Kruse: Humans have the ability to REGENERATE
Becker believed that there was a process humans could use to regenerate their limbs. He proved it in one of his experiments that showed the ability of humans to regenerate their fingertips. According to Kruse, the fingertip is the only place that humans are actually able to do what salamanders and lizard do with their tails. (Related: 6 Bodily tissues that can be regenerated through nutrition.)
"If [you] do amputate your fingertip, you can regrow it completely. So, we do have some regenerative ability in us," Kruse continued. "For example, you can amputate a large section of the liver and use that for liver transplantation. We've known that for quite some time, but most of that is also based on some of the work that Becker did."
In the 1960s, Becker talked about the DC system in people being affected by things in the environment. He also warned against placing external electric fields around people due to these fields potentially causing cancer, autoimmune conditions and fulminant (non-healing) infections.
Most of Becker's studies for the military were neither peer-reviewed nor published in the Federal Register. One such study conducted by Becker and his colleague Andrew Marino found that the 765-kilowatt regular electric towers and the power lines they hoist affected the DC electric current, allowing people to regenerate their body. Despite this, the military still refused to address the matter.
Kruse also mentioned that Becker was focused on figuring out the electronic control system of wound healing in mammals – a field he became an expert in. But even though Becker's work was considered new and cutting-edge at the time, it never saw the light of day and was effectively banned by the government. Kruse also lamented the fact that orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons are not using electromagnetic radiation based on Becker's research.
