BIOLOGY OF KUNDALINI ~ HERB LIST ASHITABA—The Asian longevity herb Ashitaba is perhaps THE major adaptogenic herb useful as an aid to kundalini-actives. Like Dong quai Ashitaba belongs to the Angelica family; I suggest you grow your own as the prices are rather steep. Ashitaba will provide strength and protection during the peak phase, and nerve recovery for exhaustion phase because it stimulates the production of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). NGF is essential in the development and survival of neurons in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. In one study, using 1% Ashitaba dry powders, a 20% increase of NGF concentration was noted after only four days! In China Ashitaba has a long history in the healing arts to: purify the blood & remove toxic wastes; detoxify the liver; enhance kidney function; support digestive & G.I. health; enhance peristalsis, cleanse the colon; harmonizes the spleen and stomach; regulate blood sugar level, balances insulin, reduces hyperglycemia; improve lung function; relieve smooth muscle spasms in the arteries & bronchial tubes; reduce blood pressure; enhance blood circulation; regulate cholesterol level; reduce joint & muscular pain; anti-viral & anti-bacterial actions; suppress cell mutation; inhibit general inflammation; strengthen the immune system; improve visual acuity; menopausal relief; smoother skin texture; also contains melatonin as an aid to natural sleep cycles. Ashitaba out performs all other herbs tested for their antioxidant potential based on the ORAC guide (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity). Ashitaba is a superfood containing eleven vitamins including, Vitamins: β-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin B12, thirteen minerals, chlorophyll, enzymes, carotene, germanium, saponins, proteins, plant fibers, glycosides, coumarins, and a rare class of flavonoids called chalcones, which are unique flavonoid compounds that give the juice its yellow color. The many potential effects of flavonoids include defending cells against carcinogens, curbing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol and preventing blood clotting, helping to protect the organs from destructive free radicals and slow the aging process on a cellular level and the inhibition of general inflammatory processes. The germanium, in Ashitaba promotes production of Interferons (IFNs), which are natural proteins produced by the cells of the immune system to prevent viruses and bacteria from penetrating into our cells.
