Gastrodia Helps Huntington’s
Complementary
Alternative Medicine (CAM) uses the herb Gastrodia to help the brain
along. This herb is also known as Tian Ma in Traditional Chinese
Medicine (TCM). It is safe in low doses for young children and infants.
It can be safely used with many other herbs. It is used in
orthomolecular medicine with high doses of vitamins, minerals and
nutritional supplements to treat very complex diseases.
Gastrodia
can be used for treating Huntington’s disease. It has an
anti-inflammatory effect which may be how it prevents seizures. Allow
one to four weeks prior to adjusting the dosage of this herb in
Huntington’s.
Huntington’s
disease requires very high levels of vitamins and branched amino acids
to support the overall health. An unrefined organic diet works best for
this type of person. Use adequate levels of unsaturated fatty acids to
facilitate recovery and treatment of any brain disease.
This
herb is used to protect the brain and keep brain cells from dying. It
enhances the mitochondria’s ability to produce energy. It has a sedative
effect. Gastrodia lowers blood pressure and can be used to treat
hypertensive headaches. It is also able to treat migraine headaches. The
herb is safe to use as a preventative for those experiencing several
migraine headaches during one week.
Gastrodia
protects the brain from seizures and convulsions. This herb can be
taken by those suffering from non-defined seizures and some types of
epilepsy.
Gastrodia
can be used for acute of chronic infantile convulsions and seizures.
This has to be done under the care of a healthcare professional and very
closely followed by changes in sleep patterns, seizure behavior
patterns, the frequency of seizures or convulsions, how long the
seizures last, and eating patterns of the child.
If
the seizures occur less frequently and last for a longer time period,
this herb should be discontinued immediately. When the seizures
drastically shorten in time and occur slightly more often, the dosage of
the herb may need to be adjusted. For extremely difficult diseases, the
exact dosage of the herb may be difficult to find.
