Intake of  herbal medicine can not ameliorated symptoms of illness immediately.  Symptoms of the diseases can only be eased gradually, depending to stage of the treatment which directly address to the cause of the disease.

Recent study by a renowned institute suggested that Chaste tree berry may have a potential in improved male infertility as  a contraceptive functional food.

Infertility is condition of inability of a couple to conceive after 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse. It effects over 5 millions couple alone in the U. S. and many times more in the world. Because of unawareness of treatments, only 10% seeks help from professional specialist.

Chaste tree berry is a species of Vitex agnus-castus, genus Vitex, belonging to the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region, used in herbal medicine for thousands of year as anaphrodisiac herb and considered as Queen herb in treating menstrual problems and discomforts.

According to the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, flavonoid-rich seed extracts of Chaste tree berry oral administration, promoted sperm numbers dwindled and slackness in their motility of that may impede fertility.

In extract fed male rats with four different concentrations after 15 days, treatment of all concentrations displayed a drop in weight with a marginal change of fructose in seminal vesicles and epididymal alpha-glucosidase, probably involved in reducing the fertilizing ability of the spermatozoa.

Dr. Das S, the lead author said, "the seedextracts of V. negundo interfere with male reproductive function without producing adverse toxicity in other vital organs".

Interestingly, the same extract used in testing the antiandrogenic effects in dog model, administrated dogs showed a antagonized androgen action of exogenous testosterone on the male reproductive system, reducing sexual design and impeded sperm production and mobility.

In the duration of treatment of 30 and 60 days, the extract causes a disruption of the latter stages of spermatogenesis with devoid of spermatozoa passed through epididymides. 

Furthermore, when the extract used combination with testosterone propionate, a ester of propionic acid,. dogs maintained the viability of spermatozoa with significantly increased the cellular heights of epididymides in compared non treatment dogs.

Taking together, chaste tree berry intake may be acted as infertile substance for male to prevent unwanted pregnancy of female partner, but the use of the herbal medicine for contraceptive purpose should only recommended by herbalists.

The use of plants for healing purposes has been predated long before the existence of modern medicine. Herbal plants have formed a fundamental source for conventional medicine in discovery of single ingredient medication, including aspirin (from willow bark), quinine (from cinchona bark), and morphine (from the opium poppy)......

Topical green tea extract may have a significant potency for treatment  of External Anogenital Wartsis, a renowned institute study suggested

Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and Western world. However, as yin in nature herbal medicine or food, long term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, induced "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weaken immunity and painful case of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory.

Catephen (Kora Corporation Ltd), is a herbal medicinal topical formulated product isolated from green tea, approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) inhibited the progression and cured external genital and perianal warts with 0.1g of green tea extract per gram (10%).

According to the University of Toronto, Sinecatechins ointment with 10% green tea extract also promoted quality of life and sexual well-being by healing the external genital warts (EGWs) induced by the human papilloma virus (HPV) cause of common sexually transmitted infection. 

Dr. Gupta AK, the lead author said, " (The) phase III trials of sinecatechins 10% ointment have demonstrated higher efficacy and lower recurrence rates compared to currently available patient-applied treatments".

In a randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled trial involved 502 male and female patients aged 18 years and older, with 2-30 anogenital warts ranging from 12 to 600 mm(2) total wart area with topical application of sinecatechins ointment 15% or 10%, three times daily for a maximum of 16 weeks or until complete clearance of all warts or placebo, group treated with sinecatechins ointment at the end showed a partial clearance rates of at least of 78.4% and 74.0% compared with 51.5% in placebo, in the week 4 and 6.

The study also found that sinecatechins ointment group also reduced the recurrence rate of 6.5% to 8.3%, developed new warts in compared 8.8% in placebo group.

Furthermore, application of Sinecatechins ointment with a 10% and 15% green tea extract showed a well tolerated mild or moderate adverse effect in all patients.

Truly, there is no doubt that green tea process a potential value for treatment of external genital warts (EGWs) through the efficacy of phytochemical catechin in induced apoptosis of microbacterial expression.

Yoga therapy ameliorated cognitive decline through improved psychological symptom of stress, a Duke University Medical Center Durham study suggested.

Yoga, the accident technique practice for harmonized external and internal body well being, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been well known for people in Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

Cognition is the reaction and learning process of the brain through information received, involving perception, sensation, notion, or intuition.

In the study of the neurocognitivecorrelates of emotion interference on cognition in Yoga practitioners and a matched control group (CG) underwent fMRI while performing an event-related effective Stroop task, Image of participated, yoga group showed a improved cognitive function through exhibited less reactivity in right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) to negative as compared to neutral images in compared to opposite pattern in control.

Additionally, Yoga practitioners had greater activation in ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (vlPFC)  in compared to opposite pattern of control.

In the review of literature of acute studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of yoga with reported cognitive outcomes, 7 acute exposure studies indicated that yoga has a strong effect in cognition including memory (g = 0.78, p < .001), followed by attention and processing speed measures (g = 0.49, p < .001) and executive functions (g = 0.39, p < .003).
But in 15 randomized controlled trials (RCTs), yoga attendees only expressed a moderate effect in cognition.

Unfortunately, in a randomized, controlled trial comparing yoga, exercise, and wait-list control groups of 135 generally healthy men and women aged 65-85 years, yoga group showed a significant improvement in physical measures (eg, timed 1-legged standing, forward flexibility) as well as a number of quality-of-life measures related to sense of well-being and energy and fatigue compared to controls but no relative improvements of cognitive function among healthy seniors in the yoga or exercise group compared to the wait-list control group.

Taking altogether, the conflict results of the studies probably due to the small sample size, study designed, age group, stage of mental impairment,....,......It is up to the readers to verify themselves after attending few weeks of yoga lessons.

Whole food(herbal medicine) used as medical treatment,  linking health benefits in prevention, management and treatment of diseases has induced much interests in today renowned scientists.
But many researchers have raised question of herbal quality, because geographic differences, time of grown and harvest, etc. may effect their's potency. I do believe, these questions can only be answered by experience herbalists.

People who have eaten cruciferous vegetable regularly may be beneficiary for reduced risk of cardiovascular disease by 15.8%, a renowned study suggested.

In the review of the association between the consumption of green leafy vegetables and risk of incidence of said diseases, intake of cruciferous vegetable is inversely associated to the incidences of total cardiovascular disease.

Cruciferous vegetables are the group of vegetables belonging to the family Brassicaceae, including cauliflower, cabbage, cress, bok choy, broccoli etc.

Heart disease kills more than 2,000 Americans everyday. Approximately 60 million Americans have heart disease. There are many causes of heart disease. Anything that serves to damage the inner lining of blood vessels and impedes the transportation of oxygen and nutrition to the heart can be defined as a risk of heart disease. Here are some early indication of heart disease symptoms:

In the study of cruciferous vegetables and its Role in Chronic Diseases, Indole-3-Carbinol, the chemical found only in the vegetable exerted several biological activities on cellular and molecular levels in prevention of the cancer and chronic illness such as cardiovascular disease.

Furthermore, the joint study lead by the The First Hospital of Jilin University, also suggested that sulforaphane, a chemical found in cruciferous vegetable exhibited protection against cardiovascular disease through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in reduction of oxidate stress, namely activation of Nrf2 in regulated the expression of antioxidant.

Dr. Bai Y, the lead author in the study said, " Several studies have highlighted the cardinal role played by the overproduction of reactive oxygen or nitrogen species in the pathogenesis of ischemic myocardial damage and consequent cardiac dysfunction".

Taking together, there is no doubt that  intake of cruciferous vegetable regularly is associated to reduced risk and treatment of cardiovascular disease. But in order to achieve the maximum benefits, moderate exercise accompanied with change of diet and life style are necessary.

If you expect that herbal medicine will ease the symptoms of your illness immediately, you will be disappointed. Symptoms of the diseases can only be eased gradually, depending to stage of the treatment which directly address to the cause of the disease.

Chaste tree berry(Vitex agnus-castus), is found to process anti estrogenic property in binding the estrogen receptors for a balance between the activities of estrogen receptor ERα or ERβ.

The herb is a species of Vitex agnus-castus, genus Vitex, belonging to the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region, used in herbal medicine for thousands of year as anaphrodisiac herb and considered as Queen herb in treating menstrual problems and discomforts.

Anti estrogenic effects is an action of binding the estrogen receptor(ERα ) and/ERβ in inhibiting the excessive levels of estrogen circulation in the body.

According to the University of Alabama in Huntsville, in the study of potential effect of estrogen mimics or anti-estrogens in phytochemicals of popular dietary herbal supplements, researchers found that almost all herbal supplements containing phytochemical components showed a capability in binding to the human estrogen receptor and exhibit selective estrogen receptor modulation, including chaste tree berry.

Casticin, a flavonoid isolated from Vitex rotundifolia, significantly expressed anti estrogenic effect in reduced the prolactin release stimulated by E2 in induced inhibition of ERα mRNA expression in a concentration-dependent manner, through its anti estrogenic effect.

In a hyperprolactinemia (MIHP) induced by administration of metoclopramide dihydrochloride (50 mg/kg, tid, ip, for 10 d) in SD rats, rat treated with casticin (10, 20, and 40 mg/kg, ip, for 7 d) reduced serum prolactin levels by 33.9%, 54.3%, and 64.7% and at(1 and 10 micromol/L)  inhibited E2-induced pituitary cell proliferation by 27.7% and 42.1%, respectively through reduced levels of 17β-Estradiol (E2) significantly.

More importantly, oral administration of casticin, a flavonoid isolated from Vitex rotundifolia displayed an anti estrogenic activity in decrease excessive levels of 17β-Estradiol (E2) significantly 

Taking together, Chaste tree berry processes strong estrogenic and anti estrogenic effects in binding estrogen receptor site to preserve the balancing of hormone expression of estrogen through ER alpha and ERBeta inhibition and exhibition.
