More about David Wolfe and his top herbs

David Wolfe is the founder and senior contributor to the Internet's only online high performance and nutrition magazine, The Best Day Ever. And as part of his busy schedule, he also coaches Hollywood producers, celebrities and some of the world's leading businesspeople and entrepreneurs on nutrition. He is no less regarded by his colleagues as one of the leading authorities in the field of nutrition. And today I am going to write this article about herbs to share with us to live a healthy raw organic life.

David Wolfe has already named garlic, echinacea and lomatium herb as the three most important herbs for him. To round out the list, his top 4 is the Reishi mushroom and the top 5 is the Astragalus. What are these two about? Well, here they are.

The Reishi mushroom is celebrated in ancient Eastern medicine as the “mushroom of immortality” and “medicine of kings.” This valuable mushroom sounds like a panacea as it can potentially boost the immune system, fight cancer, ward off health diseases, calm the nerves, and revive both allergies and inflammation.

According to Rebecca Wood in her book "New Whole Foods Encyclopedia," the reishi mushroom is an immune stimulant that is helpful for people with AIDS, leaky gut syndrome, Epstein-BAarr, chronic bronchitis, and other infectious diseases. It can also be used to aid sleep, as a diuretic, laxative, and to lower cholesterol.

It is also an excellent immune tonic that anyone can take. It is an antioxidant that protects the body from radiation and free radicals. It inhibits bacteria, viruses, treats tumors and its adaptogenic properties protect the body from stress. It also treats heart disease and high blood pressure.

Together with astragalus, it has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. It is often combined with other herbs to strengthen the body against illness.

Astragalus contains antioxidants that protect the cell from free radical damage and protect and support the body's immune system against colds and upper respiratory infections, lower blood pressure, treat diabetes and protect the liver.

In the United States, researchers have already discovered that astragalus is a possible treatment for people whose immune systems have been weakened by chemotherapy or radiation. Studies have shown that astragalus speeds recovery and extends life expectancy.

While research in China has shown that astragalus may provide antioxidant benefits to people suffering from severe forms of heart disease, it relieves symptoms and improves heart function.

So that’s it for David Wolfe’s five favorite herbs. I hope this article was insightful. Have a nice life everyone!
