Typical Preparations Teas, tinctures, and poultices. Many of the healing of benefits of turmeric have been attributed to curcumin, a group of antioxidant compounds found in the rhizome.

Too much turmeric used for extended periods of time may cause stomach distress.

Wild Harvested Cranberry Fruit Powder (Superfood)                                                                                                                        Introduction   This Cranberry Powder is at the peak of freshness, so you can enjoy the taste, aroma, and health benefiting phytonutrients of whole, wild harvested cranberries. This cranberry powder has no additives, and nothing has been removed from the berries but water. This Cranberry Powder dissolves easily into waters, teas, or juices, and can be stirred into yogurts, ice creams, added to smoothies, baked goods, and more.   This product is 100% single ingredient manufactured without the use of additives, product is GMO, BSE, and TSE F          What is Cranberry Powder? Cranberry Powder comes from tangy, whole cranberries that have been wild harvested at the peak of freshness. Cranberry Powder is a vibrant pink color, and is water soluble to easily dissolve into liquids.        Country of Origin       USA         The Cranberry: an American Legend Cranberries are native to North America, and Native Americans used them as food, in ceremonies, as a colorful dye, and medicinally. It was the Pilgrims, however, that gave the small, reddish berries the name we know today. They referred to it as the "crane-berry" due to the resemblance of the small pink blossoms to the head and bill of the Sandhill crane. These settlers adopted the cranberry, using it in the same was as the Native Americans did: as a food, medicine, and bartering tool. American mariners and whalers carried cranberries aboard their vessels to prevent scurvy on their voyages to sea. In 1816, the first commercial cranberry crop was cultivated by Revolutionary War veteran Henry Hall. Today over 40,000 acres of cranberries are harvested in the U.S. every year.         Health Benefits of Cranberries Cranberries have long held a reputation for a natural remedy for urinary tract infections, but the health benefits of cranberries extend far beyond that. Cranberries contain a unique subclass of flavonoids called proanthocyanidins (PACs). These PACs are unique, and abundant in cranberries, offering powerful antioxidant protection against free radical damage.        Cardiovascular Benefits Research suggests that the flavonoids and polyphenols in cranberries may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by lowering "bad" LDL cholesterol, raising "good" HDL cholesterol levels, improving vascular function and reducing blood pressure. Cranberry has been shown to improve risk factors for cardiovascular disease among high-risk populations, including those with Type-2 diabetes.        Antioxidant Properties Cranberries are a rich source of flavonoids, incuding anthocyanins, flavonoids, and proanthocyanidins (PACs), naturally occuring compounds with strong antioxidant properties. Antioxidants help neutralize the free radical damage that can cause destructive inflammation and lead to premature aging or illness. The phenolic phytochemicals found in cranberries, including phenolic acids like ellagic acid, also contribute to the cranberry's powerful antioxidant activity by inhibiting carcinogens from binding to DNA.        Antibacterial Properties and Urinary Tract Health One of the reasons cranberries have long been used to support urinary tract health is their natural anti-bacterial properties. Research reveals that the PAC's present in cranberries are able to restrict the adherence of E. Coli and other bacteria to tissues in the body, preventing infections. These PAC's can prevent both anti-biotic susceptible and anti-biotic resistant strains of E. coli from adhering to the bladder, preventing urinary tract infections even in those who suffer from reoccurring or chronic infections. Cranberry's reputation as a natural treatment for urinary tract infections has been well earned. Preliminary trials suggest that the PAC's in cranberries can also interfere with the adhesion of Helicobacter pylori, a leading cause of stomach ulcers.           Cranberries and Dental Health The PAC's present in cranberries carry their anti-adhesion benefits all the way to our mouths. Recent research shows that oral products that contain cranberry may help protect against dental and oral bacteria, including those responsible for periodontal gum disease. PAC's helped reduce the number of bacteria in the oral cavity, and more research continues to determine if cranberries can also inhibit gingival bacteria.              Cranberries and Brain Support Current research is being done to determine if cranberries antioxidant properties extend to protect brain cells from free radical damage, and subsequent motor and cognitive function losses. Preliminary unpublished results indicate that there will be compelling evidence for cranberry as a protective agent from neurological damage                                                    How to Use Cranberry Powder Cranberry Powder can be used in a number of ways to bring you all of the flavor, aroma, and nutritional benefits of the cranberry. From simple to elaborate, the possibilities are endless.  • Add to water and ice for a crisp, refreshing vitamin water • Add to electrolyte water for an all-natural sports drink • Add to hot or iced tea • Prepare a "simple syrup" by adding to an all-natural sweetener and water, use it to flavor mixed drinks or make shaved ice creations • Add cranberry powder to baked goods such as cakes, cupcakes, muffins and cookies • Make a gluten-free treat by adding to whipped egg whites for a cranberry meringue • Add it to your Super-food smoothie • Add to vegetable juices • Stir into plain yogurt • Stir into ice cream  • Make cranberry Popsicle by adding pomegranate or pineapple juice, and freezing in a mold • Create a cranberry vinaigrette by adding to white wine vinegar, olive oil, and shallots; serve over a fresh spinach salad with walnuts

Use it as thickener The most popular food thickener is the starch type thickener, such as cornstarch. Konjac Glucomannan is a natural, odorless soluble fiber that is found in the Konjac plant. The Konjac Glucomanan is the most viscosity food gum in nature. It has about ten times the viscosity than the cornstarch. Konjac Glucomannan is also called Konjac Flour or Konjac Gum. Unlike the cornstarch, the Konjac powder is the soluble fiber, which does not contain starch and sugar, it does not have calories.   Potential Benefits The potential benefits of Konjac soluble fiber are: Regulation of lipid metabolism, reduce blood lipid and cholesterol. Reduction of blood glucose Reducing risk of constipation and cancer of lower digestive tract Improvement of diet for diabetics Konjac glucomannan fiber slows the absorption of sugar and cholesterol from the digestive tract, helping to control sugar levels in diabetics and reducing cholesterol levels. Soluble fibers such as Glucomannan have many health-promoting benefits due to their ability to form a soft gel with water. Research indicates that soluble fibers help lower blood cholesterol, slow glucose absorption, lower the Glycemic index and promote regular bowel movements. Derived from Konjac root, glucomannan has an extraordinary water-holding capacity and is the most viscous of all known dietary fibers. Glucomannan offers benefits for those seeking to lose weight. Studies show that supplementing with glucomannan enhances the weight-loss effects of a calorie-restricted diet. Glucomannan may promote weight loss in obese adults, even in the absence of a calorie-restricted diet. Glucomannan creates a feeling of satiety or fullness through its water-binding effects. By creating a thick gel, glucomannan delays gastric emptying and slows the release of sugar into the bloodstream, which helps to lower levels of insulin and blood glucose. Additionally, glucomannan improves blood-lipid profiles and can lower systolic blood pressure. Because of these effects, glucomannan can greatly benefit individuals with metabolic syndrome or diabetes. Glucomannan is a dietary fiber that dissolves in water and comes from the root of the Konjac plant, As with most dietary fiber, glucomannan is an effective bulk-forming laxative, meaning that it stimulates the passing of larger stools which can move through the colon smoothly and is easier to eject. Glucomannan works in a similar way to other water-soluble fibers. It is able to attach itself to bile acids in the gastrointestinal system and move them out of the body in the form of excrement. This makes the body convert other cholesterol into bile acids, which can lower cholesterol and reduce the amount of other fats in the blood. Glucomannan could be effective as a weight loss aid because it takes up space in the stomach, which then simulates the sensation of being full.  Like many soluble fibers, glucomannan can bind with a variety of substances in the digestive tract to slow digestion, relieve constipation and reduce the absorption of fat and carbohydrates. As such, glucomannan is often used in products intended to reduce blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels as well as blood sugar. Because it can absorb a great deal of water and promote a feeling of fullness, glucomannan is frequently used in supplements intended to promote weight loss. Glucomannan works in a similar way to other water-soluble fibers. It is able to attach itself to bile acids in the gastrointestinal system and move them out of the body in the form of excrement.
