You are in a great place to research for medicinal plants, as Guatemala has a rich biodiversity and some native tribes preserve thousands years old knowledge of their ancestral ancient cultures medicines. Please let me know if you discover some interesting herbs previously unrecorded by modern science. For Dengue I'm making strong infusion or decoction from fresh leaves and flowers of Stachytarpheta, and drink warm.Adam Arseniukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07547475553041852108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8000743558046997801.post-18139804751008683292021-09-03T22:34:19.469-07:002021-09-03T22:34:19.469-07:00Hello,my name is Darija and I presently live in th...Hello,my name is Darija and I presently live in the jungles of Guatemala. I am researching the medicinal use of this and many other plants that I see a lot on my daily walks. Thank you for this wonderful information! Your blog is awesome! One of the better ones I have seen in a long time. You mentioned above that you used Stachytarpheta to treat Dengue fever. Could you describe how exactly you prepared it please? As a tea or raw?

I am always useing the tactic that I call Hard Kick. It means prioritizeing not those herbs that work by strenghtening your immunity to help your body to fight the infection (as it is slower process that gives the patogen time to multiply worsening the state of health, and therefore it should be the second and supportive step of treatment), but those that work for you by destroing the patogen with its chemical compounds (as it happens as soon as the herb's compounds will get asssimilated and get into bloodstreem, and even before the assimiliation in cases of microbs on surface of membranes of digestive system). So if there is no contraindications I reccomend first a very strong dose of one herb or combination of herbs, which active elements has direct antibiotic action. That is to kill all or at least maximum of patogen that are the cause of the infection, as if the more of it survive the bigger is the risk that it will multiply and the offspring will be more resistant. So I would say two 8oz (unless your body mass is petite, than one should be enough) cups of around 30 Stachytarpheta leaves per cup steeped for 10-15min. drunk while still warm, on empty stomach, asap after noticing first symptoms. And then for next 3-4 days just one cup a day for sustaining of antibiotic potential of the herb's efements inside your body.Adam Arseniukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07547475553041852108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8000743558046997801.post-91819191677071910542021-07-15T21:49:17.557-07:002021-07-15T21:49:17.557-07:00Hello Adam, tha ks for the detailed info report a...Hello Adam, tha ks for the detailed info report and also the detailed responses to questions.

It cannot be done by single herb (esspecially with the one that is not suitable for long term regular consumption, like Stachytarpheta), the treatment must involve diet and lifestyle changes. Balanced foods, enough vitamins, daily excercise and avoidanve on substancess like coffe, alcohol or cigarettes, stress avoidance or managment. Nevertheless Stachytarpheta is a perfect remedy to treat elevated blood pressure in acute instancess. It can bring instant relief when needed at particular moment. So it is great ad-hoc but not permament solution to the problem with high blood pressure. Simple cup of strong Stachytarpheta tea should help well when needed.Adam Arseniukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07547475553041852108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8000743558046997801.post-53661807742093659542021-06-30T16:52:43.448-07:002021-06-30T16:52:43.448-07:00Unfortunately I don't have enough data or expe...Unfortunately I don't have enough data or experience to give advices on how to administer Stachytarpheta preparations for covid-19 treatment. I asked my MD friend for data on how do doctors dosage it in clinical treatment of covid patients in Taiwan now. So I will add all new informations to this article as soon as I will get it. Also if anyone that read this have any data on this matter, please share it here with all of us. <br />I never made tinctures from Stachytarpheta, I'm not sure if those particular types of saponin compounds from Stachytarpheta are not getting destroyed by alcohol, like some types does. Because the thing here is that saponins are the main compounds that gives Stachytarpheta it's strong antiviral properties. Long time high heat exposure is also destructing saponin compounds. And there is no need for long boiling of Stachytarpheta as the parts used from this herb are mainly leaves and flowers stalks. Long boiling is usually just needed for hard plant material like barks, roots or seeds, as it is harder to extract the medicinal substancess from it. Brief boiling or just infusing with boiling hot water is enough to breakdown hydrogen cyanide and degradate the plants mild toxity. Nevertheless saponins, alkaloids and other compounds that Stachytarpheta contain can have negative effect on our health too, if we get to much of it. So I would recommend not to take it for longer than five days in a row, and take around 10 days break. There is a lot of other strongly antiviral herbs that can be taken alternately with Stachytarpheta, like widely available Oregano and Thyme or poverfull Houttuynia.

Cyanogenic compounds are common substances that can be found in apple and Hawthorn berries seeds or Almonds, and are harmless in small amounts. I never heard about problems with Stachytarpheta being source of acute poisoning, so it is rather that this herb has potential of causing chronic toxicity, if used in prolonged and not moderted manner. I've been useing Stachytarpheta for six years now, and never experienced any harm. I usually drink infusion, sometimes decoction from fresh shredded leaves and flower stalks. For quick relief from any infection I often drink two cups of strong infusion (aprox. 30 medium size leaves per cup), and never drink it (even just in combination with other herbs) for more than few days in a row.Adam Arseniukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07547475553041852108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8000743558046997801.post-8334011305886404432021-06-20T09:09:26.936-07:002021-06-20T09:09:26.936-07:00Wow!!!
