Herbs to help you age gracefully: Support for the brain, heart, digestion, and more
Thursday, April 12, 2018 by: Ralph Flores
Everyone ages, it's a given fact.
That may be a cause of concern for some people, in particular, since aging means a decline
in a person's vitality.
However, according to an article published in the Journal of the American Herbalists
Guild, adjusting your diet and lifestyle – as well as incorporating herbs – can keep a
person as healthy as possible, despite their age.
In the article, herbalist and ethnobotanist David Winston identifies common conditions
related to aging and herbal and nutritional therapies to attenuate it.
Alzheimer's disease — According to studies, the use of dietary and herbal antioxidants
may reduce the likelihood of developing the condition.
In addition, nutritional deficiencies, impaired digestion, poor circulation, insulin resistance,
smoking, and chronic stress are all factors that contribute to decreased cerebral capacity
and increase the risk of Alzheimer's.
The following herbs are recommended to counter this condition:
Bacopa (Bacopa monnieri) Blueberry solid extract (Vaccinium spp.)
Chinese polygala root (Polygala tenuifolia) Ginkgo standardized extract (Ginkgo biloba)
Gotu kola (Centella asiatica) Holy basil (Ocimum sanctum)
Lavender flower (Lavendula angustifolia) Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis)
Periwinkle (Vinca minor) Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis)
Sage (Salvia officinalis) Atherosclerosis — Commonly linked to the
presence of poor quality fats (e.g., trans-fatty acids, fried foods, rancid fats) in the body,
the condition might be aggravated more by systemic inflammation, insulin resistance,
oxidation of fats, and low-grade infections.
Aside from adding omega 3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and nutrients, the following herbs may also
help fight atherosclerosis:

Rosemary (R. officinalis) Sage (Salvia officinalis)
Turmeric rhizome (Curcuma longa) Constipation — Like other parts of the body,
the digestive system is also impacted by the aging process.
Having a diet that's rich in soluble fiber and bitters may help deal with the problem,
as well as taking in the following herbs:
Artichoke leaf (Cynara scolymus) Butternut bark (Juglans cineria)
Culver's root (Veronicastrum virginicum) Dandelion root (Taraxacum officinale)
Prune juice (Prunus domesticus) Red Alder bark (Alnus rubra)
Triphala – An Ayurvedic bowel tonic Depression — While the condition happens
to anyone regardless of age, the combination of age-related illness and depression in older
adults can be devastating.
The following herbs are known to have antidepressant properties:
Black Cohosh root (Cimicifuga racemosa) Damiana (Turnera diffusa)
Evening Primrose (Oenothera biennis) Holy Basil (Ocimum sanctum)
Lavender flower (L. angustifolia) Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) – use with
hypericum for seasonal affective disorders (SAD)

Osteoporosis — The loss of bone density is more common in post-menopausal women, compared
to men.
Some of the factors that contribute to the condition
include a lack of exercise, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, hyperthyroidism, and
the long-term use of corticosteroids.
Support bone health with the use of the following herbs:
Alfalfa herb (Medicago sativa) Amla fruit (Emblica officinalis)
Dandelion leaf (Taraxacum officinale) Drynaria root/Gu Sui Bu (Drynaria fortunei)
Horsetail (Equisitum arvense) Nettle
leaf (Urtica dioica) Oat straw (Avena sativa)
Peppergrass herb/seed (Lepidium spp.)

from the buttocks to the inside or back of the thigh.

help speed up the healing process: (Related: How to beat sciatica naturally.)
