GINSENG- FOR FLU

-

If you get battered by frequent respiratory infections, consider taking a daily dose of ginseng—starting now. Taking ginseng regularly well in advance of the germy fall and winter seasons can help prevent colds, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), finds new research published in the journalNutrients.
More from Prevention: 
Because there is not yet a vaccine for RSV, and because flu  vaccines aren’t 100% effective, researchers decided to investigate red ginseng extract, which had already been proven a worthy immune-enhancer (ginseng’s ability to successfully help ward off colds was shown in a 2006 study, and earlier research also suggests it has antiviral action against RSV and flu). In this new study, Sang-Moo Kang, PhD, a professor at the Institute for Biomedical Sciences at Georgia State in Atlanta, who specializes in developing vaccines that protect against bacterial and viral disease such as influenza  and RSV, discovered that red ginseng extract protects the survival of human lung epithelial cells infected with flu -influenza' hh='1'>influenza virus. What’s more, treatment with red ginseng extract reduced the expression of genes that cause inflammation.
Several species of ginseng and types of ginseng extracts exist, but to fight the flu, Kang recommends Korean red ginseng, which is a cured ginseng root extract. "Ginsenosides are active ingredients in Korean red ginseng that help the body deal with stress, disease, and fatigue," says Kang. "These substances are have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and even anti-carcinogenic properties," he adds.

De Quervain's tenosynovitis  is a painful condition affecting the tendons on the thumb side of your wrist. If you have de Quervain's tenosynovitis, it will probably hurt when you turn your wrist, grasp anything or make a fist. Although the exact cause of de Quervain's tenosynovitis isn't known, any activity that relies on repetitive hand or wrist movement — such as working in the garden, playing golf or racket sports, or lifting your baby — can make it worse. Causes- Chronic overuse of your wrist is commonly associated with de Quervain's tenosynovitis. Tendons are rope-like structures that attach muscle to bone. When you grip, grasp, clench, pinch or wring anything in your hand, two tendons in your wrist and lower thumb normally glide smoothly through the small tunnel that connects them to the base of the thumb.
