Hey,
This is David Benjamin from HealthyWildAndFree.com, Today I want to talk about an amazing herb
from the amazon rainforest.
If you follow my videos or podcast interviews or articles online at healthywildandfree.com
for some time now, you'll probably know that i'm a huge fan of the amazon rainforest.
And a huge fan of the medicinal plants that come from the amazon rainforest.
I'm a huge believer in the potent medicinal health and healing properties of herbs in
general.
And, unfortunately because of the amazon rainforest kind of being torn down over time. Not many
people recognize the value of the amazon rainforest.
These kind of herbs are very scarce and very hard to come by, and are hard to come by especially
in high quality, organic, wildcrafted form.
I really like herbs in general for healing, health and wellness.
Specifically the amazon rainforest region of herbs are my favorite personally because
of the conditions of the amazon rainforest. The most biodiverse place on the planet, because
of that the plants there survive some of the strongest, most potent plants, and herbs,
on the planet.
I also like chinese herbs as well, I think Chinese and amazon herbs are some of the most
powerful medicinal herbs out there.
ALong with some different plants from other places more like Russia and different I guess
desserts and things like that where plants have to survive harsh environments so that's
kind of an interesting recurring theme.
Plants survive harsh environments whether it be really cold or really warm or really
humid or really dense or really, ya know, a lot of plants competing for life and soil
and water and sunshine and these types of things.
The stronger they become, so, the cool thing about the herb i'm going to talk about today
is una de gato, right here, una de gato, and it's 'cat's claw' in spanish. Una de gato
is a kind of vine/bark that grows in the amazon rainforest specifically in Peru, in the Peruvian
regions.
So if you're peruvian, or you know Peruvian people, or, you're just familiar with the
amazon herbs in general, you'll know that Una De Gato is an amazing herb. The cool thing
about una de gato is it's very anti-negative things.
So, for example, it's anti-arthritic, so it's basically helps your body prevent arthritis.
It's an anti-inflammatory which as many of us know or hopefully as you know by now, inflammation
is one of the most important things to basically have an anti-inflammatory foods in your diet
and in your kind of daily routine.
Because inflammation is one of the kind of foremost causes of disease within the body
and inflammation occurs, cell coagulation, toxicity, and pH imbalances are in an ecosystem
or environment in your body, bacteria, virus, fungus, parasites, it's all able to grow,
so it's a great anti-arthritic herb, anti-inflammatory herb.
It's also a great anti-viral herb, anti-bacterial herb, it's one of the strongest immune boosting
herbs that I know of on the planet. And i've seen a lot of immune boosting beneficial herbs,
and beneficial plants out there.
The other great thing about it is an anti-coagulant, which means it's a beneficial plant in reducing
the coagulation of cells in your body, so, inflammation, coagulation, like I said, coagulation
of cells, if inflammation occurs in the body and your body is in an anti-inflammatory state
and i'll give you an example maybe you've seen someone with really large ankles, and
their ankles are just swollen and inflamed.
That person, their body, their state in their body is very pro-inflammatory state, so the
inflammation in their body occurs and then if the cells are coagulating, the cells kind
of bunch up and that's when swelling and stiffness and you know, all sorts of problems and issues
can come of that.
So this, the una de gato is also an anti-coagulant, which means that it's going to keep the cells
flowing, kind of luck a hockey puck on ice, it just keeps the cells moving…. whereas
if you put a hockey puck on cement, it's probably not going to work as well, so… it's also
anti-ulcers, it's good for kind of keeping ulcers, avoiding ulcers basically.
It's anti-hypertensive, so if you have hypertension, or anxiety, or any kind of overall stress
and hypertension, and causing ulcers or hypertension, it's great for that as well too.
It's a very very very very strong antioxidant, because of the environment it grows in, it
needs to be an antioxidant in order to survive.
The other cool things about, it's good for a lot of kind of protection mechanisms, anti-arthritis,
anti-inflammatory, anti-coagulant, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, things like that which are
very beneficial
But the two qualities that I really like the most about una de gato that really make it
unique that really kind of give it that strong edge over other herbs.
The very specific key pivotal benefits of una de gato would be number one is it's immune
system boosting benefits. Like I said all those anti-inflammatory, anti-coagulative…
benefits.
And anti-viral, anti-bacterial. Those alone, and the immune strengthening boosting benefits
of una de gato are in my opinion probably number 1 if not top 2 or 3 top immune system
boosting herbs on the planet. Top immune boosting foods in general on the planet. It's a plant,
it's a food.
So, and remember that 80% of your immune system is in your gut, so if you have digestive health,
digestive issues, fat around the abdominal region, or just anything like a candida infection
or a yeast infection, a parasitic infection, a viral infection.
Whatever it may be, una de gato is a great herb to kind of counter-act those things,
to boost your immune system and strengthen your immune system, so that it can do that
job that it needs to do to keep your body healthy and to protecting itself from different
invaders and things like that.
The other very strong amazing benefit of una de gato that makes it unique beyond boosting
your immune system and keeping your immune system strong is the ability to strengthen
and protect red blood cells. And red blood cells are very key important cells within
the body because red blood cells are what carries oxygen throughout your body, so, getting
oxygen to your brain is very important as you age, because oxygen is just very important
for the functioning and cognitive function.
Getting oxygen into your stomach, getting oxygen into your cells, getting oxygen into
your joints, to be anti-arthitic.
Keeping circulation and oxygen and the flow of oxygen throughout your entire body and
your brain, your cardiovascular system or your lungs, your heart, your digestive system,
your joints, your whole entire body needs the flow of oxygen, it's a very important
piece of health, hydration and oxygen are two very under-utilized and under-talked about
areas of health.
Hydration and oxygen, and this is a very very beneficial herb for protecting the red blood
cells so that the red blood cells can go throughout your entire body and bring oxygen, pure oxygen
to your body as a whole, so, if you want to boost your immune system, health, health in
general, and for anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, all of these things that I mentioned, definitely
look up and look into una de gato more.
I'm going to put an article right below this video with more information on una de gato
aka: also known as cat's claw.
It comes from Peru, and it come's out of the rainforest. I get mine from OrganicRainforestHerbs.com,
because it's organic, wildcrafted, and currently they are spagyric extract processed which
means that this liquizon, a liquizon is an herb that is liquid herb, as you can see it's
kind of tip it, tilt it and the liquid, it's liquid in a capsule, a vegetable capsule.
It's 3 times as potent as the powdered capsule.
They may be having powdered soon to reduce the price so more people can have access to
una de gato but for now they have the liquizons so, one of these capsules is worth 3 powdered
capsules of una de gato.
You can get the therapeutic, potent, beneficial health benefits of una de gato by getting
this herb from Organic RainforestHerbs.com.
I love it, I use them myself and I can tell the positive benefits from it. The anti-inflammatory,
just, feeling, I don't get sick, I don't remember the last time i've been sick! I take una de
gato, I always have some on hand, just in case, and it's just a great thing to have,
so, learn more about una de gato in the article below, the importance of amazon, organic herbs
from the amazon rainforest and hopefully you benefit from that information and start including
some of these different amazon herbs into your daily routine so that you can realize
the health benefits.
