16.  Garlic
 Numerous double-blind studies have shown that
garlic is a powerful herb for treating cancer.
Naturopaths have been using raw garlic, and
even garlic juice or soups, to treat cancer for
ages. Garlic has even proven to kill brain cancer
cells (in addition to colon cancers) without
harming healthy cells, and with no side effects.
Add some onions and broccoli, and you’ve got a
cancer fighting power-house.
 It is also a staple of the Ayurvedic herbal
medicine cabinet. Check out the health benefits
of garlic, here.

17.  Green tea isn’t just a social grace, but a
healing remedy for colon and other cancers.
Not only does it inhibit the formation of
cancerous cells, but the catechin polyphenols
within can even kill cancerous cells without
harming healthy cells. By drinking green tea
regularly, you can eradicate colon tumors
while they are in their most infant stages.

18.  Chirata is an herb. People use the parts that
grow above the ground to make medicine.
Chirata is used for fever, constipation,
upset stomach, loss of appetite, intestinal
worms, skin diseases, and cancer. Some
people use it as “a bitter tonic.”

19.  Gurmar is an herbal supplement that is used to regulate glucose levels,
boost insulin levels, prevent sugar cravings and promote whole-body
cleansing. After chewing gurmar leaves, the tongue is unable to taste
sweets, and the literal translation of this plant's name is “sugar killer” or
“destroyer of sugar.” Gurmar, or gymnema sylvestre, grows in the
tropical forests of India and has been used for more than 2,000 years in
traditional Ayurvedic medicine.
 Gurmar is one of the most popular herbal supplements for the treatment
of diabetes because of its ability to prevent sugar from accumulating in
the body. Diabetics do not naturally produce enough insulin to regulate
the rate at which their bodies absorb glucose, or sugar. Glucose then
builds up in the person’s bloodstream without being absorbed into the
cells for energy production. Gurmar increases the amount of insulin
produced by the pancreas and allows the body to naturally maintain
healthy blood sugar levels. It has been used to balance blood sugar
levels in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes and can reduce the
amount of prescription insulin a diabetic must take on a daily basis.

20.  Guggul has been used in the traditional
Ayurvedic medical system for centuries and
has been studied extensively in Asia .
Commercial products are promoted for use in
hyperlipidemia; however, clinical studies do
not substantiate this claim. Anti-

being evaluated, as well as use in cancer,
obesity, and diabetes.

drugs and chemicals. Useful in chronic enlargement of
liver (hepatomegaly). Also useful in heart diseases, skin

22.  The literal meaning of word Pashanbheda is, one
that breaks stones (Pashan is stone and bheda
means to break, in Sanskrit). There are many
plants that are known by this name due to their
diuretic and lithotriptic (dissolving or destroying
stone in the bladder or kidneys) activities. One
such plant that is widely accepted under the
name Pashanbheda(Bergenia ligulata) is Bergenia
ligulata syn. Saxifrega ligulata. This medicinal
plant is useful in treatment of many ailments but
particularly for urinary calculi. Pashanbheda herb
is found in Himalaya and the Khasi hills Assam.
The rhizomes of this plant are used to prevent
and expel urinary stones.

23.  Senna is a herb that is generally used for its laxative
properties. Senna is also known as cassia senna, wild
senna, cassia marilandica, or locust plant. It works by
interacting with the bacteria in the digestive track,
resulting in intestinal contractions. These
contractions are caused by the anthraquinone that is
contained in senna. These dimeric glycosides
anthraquinone derivatives are known as Senna
glycosides or sennosides. They are named after their
abundant occurrence in these plants of the genus
Senna. The main forms of these glycosides are often
referred to by: A, B, C & D. Both leaves and pods of
the senna plant are used for their laxative effects.
