Papaya fruit is high in Papain, a potent proteolytic enzyme that
supports the breakdown of proteins. In one clinical study Papain has
produced therapeutic effect in persons with inflammatory disorders of
the intestine and liver. Another study showed activity of papaya
against helminthes. Benzyl isothiocyanate is considered to be the
anthelmintic in papaya seed extracts. Bacteriostatic activity of
papaya is documented against several enteropathogens such as Bacillus
subtilis, Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi,
Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and
Klebsiella pneumoniae. Benzyl isothiocyanate from the pulp and seeds
of papaya is a potent inducer of glutathione S-transferase, a phase II
enzyme involved in the cellular detoxification of xenobiotics and
reactive metabolites. Papaya supports optimal bowel function and has
shown soothing effects on the stomach and digestive tract. It is used

enhancing kinase activity, neuronal synthesis and restoration of
synaptic activity and ultimately nerve impulse transmission, thus
helps in Alzheimer’s and other degenerative disorders of brain.
Concentrated extract of Gotukola contains the active molecules –
Asiaticosides. It inhibits iPLA2 (Ca(2+)-independent
Phospholipase A2) and cPLA2 (cytosolic PLA2) activities in
cerebellum which is useful to treat conditions associated with
increased PLA(2) activity in the brain such as epilepsy, stroke,
multiple sclerosis and other neuropsychiatric disorders. Researches on
Gotukola showed a significant increase in the dendritic length
(intersections) and dendritic branching points along the length of
both apical and basal dendrites. Gotukola is good for nourishing the
brain cells. Gotu kola has also shown
the tranquilizing effect, but this tranquilizing effect is unlike

Latin : Cinnamomum zeylanicum
English : Cinnamon
Hindi : Dalchini
Cinnamon has a long history both as a spice and as a medicine.
Cinnamon is high in
antioxidant
activity. The essential oil of cinnamon also has
antimicrobial
properties. This property may allow cinnamon to extend the shelf life
of foods.
Cinnamon's unique healing abilities come from three basic types of
components in the essential oils found in its bark. These oils contain
active components called cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl acetate,
and cinnamyl alcohol, plus a wide range of other volatile
substances.
Cinnamaldehyde (also called cinnamic aldehyde) has been
well-researched for its effects on blood platelets. The cinnaldehyde
in cinnamon helps prevent unwanted clumping of blood platelets. (The
way it accomplishes this health-protective act is by inhibiting the
release of an inflammatory fatty acid called arachidonic acid
from platelet membranes and reducing the formation of an inflammatory
messaging molecule called thromboxane A2.)
Cinnamon's ability to lower the release of arachidonic acid from cell
membranes also puts it in the category of an "anti-inflammatory" food
that can be helpful in lessening inflammation. Cinnamon's essential
oils also qualify it as an "anti-microbial" food, and cinnamon has
been studied for its ability to help stop the growth of bacteria as
well as fungi, including the commonly problematic yeast Candida.
In laboratory tests, growth of yeasts that were resistant to the
commonly used anti-fungal medication ,was often (though not always)
stopped by cinnamon extracts. It may be used in the treatment of some
fungal tumors. Cinnamon may significantly help people to improve their
ability to respond to insulin, thus normalizing their blood sugar
levels.
Not only does consuming cinnamon improve the body's ability to utilize
blood sugar, but just smelling the wonderful odor of this sweet spice
boosts brain activity. In addition to its unique essential oils,
cinnamon is an excellent source of the trace mineral manganese and a
very good source of dietary fiber iron and calcium. The combination of
calcium and fiber in cinnamon is important and can be helpful for the
prevention of several different conditions. Both calcium and fiber can
bind to bile salts and help remove them from the body. By removing
bile, fiber helps to prevent the damage that certain bile salts can
cause to colon cells, thereby reducing the risk of colon cancer.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa), a flowering plant in the ginger
family, is widely used as a food coloring and is one of the principal
ingredients in curry powder. The aboveground and underground roots, or
rhizomes of the turmeric are used in medicinal and food preparations.
Turmeric has long been used in Ayurveda as a blood purifier,
antiallergic, anti-inflammatory, appetite stimulant, antiarthritic,
antibacterial, liver stimulant, and antibacterial and as an antiseptic
agent. Its main constituent is curcumin, which has shown significant
anti inflammatory properties due to its ability to reduce histamine
levels and possibly increases natural cortisone production by the
adrenal glands. Curcuma has powerful antioxidant property comparable
to vitamin C and E.
Curcumin, the active ingredients in turmeric, induces the flow of
bile, which helps break down fats. Extracts of turmeric root reduced
secretion of acid from the stomach and protect against injuries such
as inflammation along the stomach (gastritis) or intestinal walls and
ulcers from certain medications, stress, or alcohol. Early studies
suggest that turmeric may prove helpful in preventing the
atherosclerosis (blockage of arteries that can eventually cause a
heart attack or stroke) in one of two ways. First, in animal studies
an extract of turmeric lowered cholesterol levels and inhibited the
oxidation of LDL ("bad") cholesterol.. Turmeric may also prevent
platelet build up along the walls of an injured blood vessel. There
has been a substantial amount of research on turmeric's anti-cancer
potential. Evidence from laboratory and animal studies suggests that
curcumin has potential in the treatment of various forms of cancer,
including prostate, breast, skin, and colon.

Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba

Guar gum
Hindi : Guar
Guar gum is extracted from the seed of the leguminous shrub Cyamopsis
tetragonoloba, where it acts as a food and
water store. The Guar shrub is a coarse, summer-growing,
leguminous annual that is probably native to India and is widely
distributed across Africa and Asia, and found cultivated in small
quantities the United States and Australia.
Guar Gum may be very helpful in maintaining a healthy heart. A diet
high in water-soluble Guar bean fiber (Guar Gum) is associated with
decreased risk of heart attacks, because fiber is known to lower
overall cholesterol levels. The glucomannan content in Guar Gum is
believed to lower cholesterol by binding with it and keeping it from
being absorbed through the intestines. In addition, the bulk forming
fibers swell in the intestines and fill the intestinal tract, not only
preventing cholesterol and lipid absorption, but the increased
bulk-forming mass helps to rid the intestines of the excess
cholesterol by facilitating its passage through the system.
Guar Gum is a water-soluble bulk-forming laxative, and as such, it is
said to be effective in promoting regular bowel movements and relieve
constipation and chronic related functional bowel ailments, such as
diverticulosis, Crohn's disease, colitis and irritable bowel syndrome,
among others. The increased mass in the intestines stimulates the
movement of waste and toxins from the system, which is particularly
helpful to good colon health, because it speeds the removal of waste
and bacteria from the bowel and colon. In addition, because Guar Gum
is soluble, it is also able to absorb toxic substances (bacteria) that
cause infective diarrhea.
Guar Gum has been used to improve glucose tolerance in some studies.
Research has revealed that the water-soluble fiber in it may help
people with diabetes by binding with glucose and preventing its
absorption. The movement of the bulk-forming mass through the
intestines not only helped removed cholesterol but also decreased
glycosylated hemoglobin, a measure of chronically high blood glucose
levels.
For weight control, Guar Gum provides a low-calorie, bulk-forming,
gelatinous substance in the gastrointestinal tract that gives one the
feeling of fullness and satiety and may curb the urge to eat.
Furthermore, its laxative action also helps to clear the system of
excess weight by removing it in waste products.
