6.8 million adults in the United States suffer from Anxiety, with women being the majority of that population effected. As there are many medications that are prescribed, they do come with known side effects. Anxiety causes worry, panic and depression, and those of us who live with it every day know how tiring it is. It can affect our everyday lives and function. Research has shown that the medications work, but I have always looked at holistic remedies. Today I want to talk about Ashwagandha. This herb has been used for thousands of years for its adaptogenic properties and research has shown to be effective on combating anxiety. Its ability to increase the activity of GABA receptors in the brain, it helps enhance the stress-reveling effects of calming neurotransmitters in your body. The problem is that like with many medications is that the manufactures have other products used that effect the medicinal value of the herb. Another point is that it is important to use true organic herbs.

Parasites are organisms that live in or on a host and rely on it for survival, often at the host's expense. They can cause a range of health issues, from mild discomfort to severe diseases. Below are the most common parasites that affect the human body. Protozoa  – These are microscopic, single-celled organisms that can multiply inside the human body, leading to infections like malaria and toxoplasmosis. Helminths  – These are larger, multicellular worms, such as tapeworms and roundworms, that can live in the intestines, blood, or tissues. Ectoparasites  – These include lice, fleas, and ticks, which live on the skin and can transmit diseases. Parasites can enter the body through contaminated food, water, insect bites, or direct contact with infected individuals. They may cause symptoms like digestive issues, fatigue, skin irritation, and even neurological problems, depending on the type of parasite and the severity of the infection. HOW TO TREAT There are several herbs known for their anti-parasitic properties. Some of the most effective ones include: Black Walnut Hulls  – Contains juglone, which has strong anti-parasitic effects. Sweet Wormwood (Artemisia annua)  – Known for its ability to combat malaria parasites. Garlic  – Has powerful antimicrobial properties and can help eliminate various parasites. Cucumber Seeds  – Traditionally used to remove tapeworms from the digestive tract. Papaya Seeds  – Effective against intestinal worms and tapeworms. These herbs work by disrupting the life cycle of parasites, supporting digestion, and enhancing the body's natural defenses.
