As well as the other herbs mentioned,

try Chanca Piedra, the Latin name is

Phyllantus Niruri. It is also known as

Jaramla or Bhumiamalaka.

( It is part of the Rainforest tea)

JARAMLA

 

Phyllanthus niruri

 

Annual Uses: medicinal Sow No:12

(Bhumiamalaka; Chanca Piedra) Almost totally unknown in the

developed world, this unassuming small plant from the tropics is

getting a lot of research attention. Here is a chemically-rich plant

that kills bacteria, worms and viruses, expels kidney and gall

stones, detoxifies and protects the liver and prevents liver cancer,

relieves indigestion and dysentery, cures malaria and dropsy, lowers

blood sugar and blood pressure, and still it does more! Its Spanish

name chanca piedra translates to " stone breaker " , a nod to its

remarkable ability to break down kidney stones. With its added bonus

of geraniin, a painkiller seven times stronger than aspirin and

acetaminophen, the process of expelling kidney stones is a much less

painful experience than usual. The herb has two compounds,

phyllanthin and hypophyllanthin, thought to be responsible for

protecting the liver. Studies show that when mice with liver cancer

are given an extract of the plant, they live much longer than mice

that didn't get the extract. Other studies have shown that jaramla

extracts protect bone marrow in mice from damage induced by cancer-

causing chemicals and radiation. But it is the herb's anti-virus

effect that has attracted the most attention. There is good evidence

that the herb kills hepatitis A, B, and C viruses, particularly B,

and studies have shown that it even works against HIV, the virus

that causes AIDS. A German study in 2003 showed that the herb

inhibits HIV by 70-75%. Jaramla is a weedy annual up to 60cm/2ft

high with minute, greenish flowers. Germination is easy but needs

bottom heat. Can be weedy in tropical areas, but is unlikely to be a

problem in most temperate zones.
