See book keywords and concepts | | Aloe Vera's tissue regeneration properties r pur Aloe international work towards rebuilding tissue of the stomach and intestinal tract. Such tissue can become damaged through disease or even extended bouts of constipation, and researchers have found that Aloe Vera stimulates fibroblasts into constructing new tissue. Aloe polysaccharides improve immune system strength and are very effective at eliminating toxin-filled waste by boosting the body's natural detoxification processes.
In any event, an important fact must be remembered—Aloe Vera presents no known side effects and is quite safe. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The authors attribute Comfrey's effectiveness for ankle sprain treatment to the root's anti-inflammatory and analgesic qualities, as well as its ability to stimulate granulation and tissue regeneration, and callus formation (Koll 2004).
Anti-Inflammatory
The anti-inflammatory effects of Comfrey were studied in musculoskeletal disorders. Forty-one patients with musculoskeletal rheumatism were treated with either a pyrrolizidine alkaloid-free ointment or placebo for 4 weeks. The patient illnesses consisted of epicondylitis, tendovaginitis, and periarthritis. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Topically, safflower flowers and the oil extracted from the seeds stimulate tissue regeneration, and they can be prepared as a liniment to treat bruises, inflammation, sprains, and wounds.
Edible Uses
The flower petals and seeds are edible, as are the young shoots and leaves. The oil from the seeds is a popular cooking oil; it is mild in flavor and rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids.
The flowers can be used as a food coloring and are sometimes used as a cheaper substitute or adulterant for saffron. The Hopi Indians, for example, use it to color bread. |

See book keywords and concepts | | As discussed in the section on zinc, this important mineral plays a role in the action of many hormones as well as in wound healing, the immune response, and tissue regeneration. As it relates to acne, too little zinc seems to enhance the effect of testosterone on increasing sebum and keratin secretion and makes it difficult for the skin to heal quickly.
Zinc supplementation in the treatment of acne has been the subject of much controversy and many double-blind studies. However, the inconsistency of the results may be due to differences in absorption of the various zinc salts used. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Type 1 diabetes results from destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, coupled with some defect in tissue regeneration capacity. What ultimately destroys the beta cells are antibodies produced by white blood cells. Antibodies are designed to seek out and destroy infecting organisms such as viruses and bacteria. However, in autoimmune diseases, antibodies develop that are targeted for the body's own tissues. Antibodies for beta cells are present in 75 percent of all cases of type 1 diabetes, compared to 0.5 to 2.0 percent of people without the disease. | | We want to be very clear that while genetic factors may predispose the insulin-producing cells to damage through either impaired defense mechanisms, immune system sensitivity, or some defect in tissue regeneration capacity, genetic factors alone account for only a very small percentage of people who develop type 1 diabetes—perhaps as little as 5 to 10 percent of all cases. Dietary and other environmental factors are the chief factors that ultimately will determine whether the disease will develop. |

Echinacin, as well as polysaccharide components of Echinacea, have been shown to promote tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation in experimental studies.8,24"27 This is apparently largely due to inhibition of the enzyme hyaluronidase via formation of a polysaccharide complex with hyaluronic acid, thereby maintaining the structure and integrity of the collagen matrix in connective tissue and ground substance. |
Richard Gerber, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  On the cellular level, Macartney Rose increases the distribution of the RNA and stimulates tissue regeneration of the neurological tissues, particularly in the brain. In addition, it increases the ability of the cellular structure to hold an electrical charge. This has implications in tissue regeneration because electrical charges within cells activate cellular memory. The astral and mental bodies are brought into greater alignment, which also increases telepathy. |

See book keywords and concepts |  A sweet herb with a warming action, such as bala, would therefore probably benefit conditions requiring warmth and nourishment, such as illnesses involving nervous system weakness or weight gain and tissue regeneration.
Commonly Used Groups of Herbs
All systems of medicine group together their therapeutic agents with similar actions. In Western medicine, for example, pharmaceuticals are grouped into families, such as blood-pressure-lowering agents or painkillers. More than 2,000 years ago, the ancient Charaka Samhita divided herbs into 50 different groups. |
Michael T. Murray, N.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Although the exact cause of type I diabetes is unknown, current theory suggests it is due to injury to the insulin-producing beta cells coupled with some defect in tissue regeneration capacity. What ultimately destroys the beta cells are antibodies produced by white blood cells. Antibodies seek out and destroy infecting organisms such as viruses and bacteria. However, in some diseases antibodies develop against the body's own tissues. These disease are referred to as "autoimmune diseases. |
Covert Bailey
See book keywords and concepts |  Back-to-back hard workouts mean constant muscle wear without tissue regeneration. When nine ultra-long-distance runners who participated in a seventeen-mile-a-day, ten-day race had their thighs measured before and after the race, the measurement actually decreased. You'd expect the quadriceps to get bigger after such an event, but they were smaller!
To avoid overtraining, never, ever run a marathon.
Bodybuilders also find that a little rest pays off. A well-known female competitor once wrote an article describing the difficulty she was having trying to develop her biceps. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Topically: to improve wound healing, increase resistance to infection, increase connective tissue regeneration and for the prevention and/or treatment of photodamage by UV radiation.
OTHER APPLICATIONS
In modern usage, Echinacea is sometimes prescribed as adjunct therapy during cancer treatment.3 Echinacea is also used in lip balms and toothpaste4 and skin and hair care products, including facial toners, creams and lotions, especially for damaged skin. | | Alpha-bisabolol promotes granulation and tissue regeneration.37 Application of chamomile extract altered the metabolism of guinea pig skin cells, indicating possible stimulation of cellular regeneration and inhibition of inflammation.44
PHARMACOKINETICS
Chamazulene is formed from matricine in the gut of rats by the action of gastric acid following oral administration.16
Topical application of radioisotope-labelled (-)-alpha-bisabolol to the skin of nude mice resulted in half the radioactivity being found on the skin, with the remainder present in tissue and organs. |
Michael T. Murray, N.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Echinacea species, promote tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation in experimental studies.7-21-24 This is apparently largely due to inhibition of the enzyme hyaluronidase. Hyaluronidase is referred to as the "spreading factor." It is secreted by microorganisms and is found in snake venom; its purpose is to break down hyaluronic acid, a major component of the ground substance (intracellular cement) that holds body cells together. Echinacea maintains the structure and integrity of the connective tissue and ground substance. |
Simon Mills and Kerry Bone
See book keywords and concepts | | The possible antihyaluronidase activity may help increase the resistance of tissue to the spread of certain infections and, in conjunction with the increased presence of fibroblasts, facilitate connective tissue regeneration. This effect would most likely be observed for topical application of Echinacea preparations.
Antimicrobial activity
In early research echinacoside demonstrated weak antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus in vitro.51 Polyacetylenes from E. angustifolia and E. purpurea root also demonstrated bacteriostatic and fungistatic activity against E. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Astragalus, Astragalus membranaceus, is adaptogenic, promotes tissue regeneration, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and protects kidney and liver function.
Rhubarb, Rheum offlcinalis/palmatum, is extensively used for its protective ability of the kidney in beginning stages of kidney failure. It is able to improve uremic indices significanuy. 244'254 364,397 Rhubarb may have specific use in diabetic nephropathy since animal research shows it decreases blood glucose as well as improving the urinary and serum indices associated with kidney failure. | | Comfrey, Symphytum officinalis, is well known for tissue regeneration. It increases the rate of healing by increasing cell proliferation of the epithelial tissue and is soothing and healing to irritated and damaged tissues.257
Oregon grape root, Mahonia spp, is anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, styptic and astringent. This helps decrease inflammation and check infectious processes.
Oregano, Origanum vulgare, is antifungal, antiviral and antibacterial. Its astringent action tonifies lax vaginal tissues. |
Gabriel Cousens, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Enzymes have no side effects, stimulate the immune system, and promote tissue regeneration, rather than slow the process like conventional anti-inflammatory medicines. One study of the use of enzymes in sport injuries done with ice hockey players in the German national hockey league by Dr. Sepp Worschauser, a team physician, showed that the prophylactic administration of enzymes helped to heal one-third to one-half more quickly and led to shorter absences from training. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Although the exact cause of Type I diabetes is unknown, current theory suggests that it results from injury to the insulin-producing beta-cells, coupled with some defect in tissue regeneration capacity. In Type I diabetes, the body's immune system apparently begins to attack the pancreas. Antibodies for beta-cells are present in seventy-five percent of all cases of Type I diabetes, compared to one-half percent to two percent of non-diabetics. | | Zinc is also involved in vitamin A function, wound healing, immune system activity, inflammation control, and tissue regeneration.
Low levels of zinc play a central role in many cases of adolescent acne, as zinc levels are lower in thirteen- and fourteen-year-old males than in any other age group.15 There have been several double-blind studies on zinc supplementation in the treatment of acne, but the subject remains controversial.16-19 The controversy stems from the fact that zinc has produced excellent results in some studies and virtually no effect in others. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Chamomile creams contain compounds that are antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, promoting tissue regeneration.
• Eczema. Creams containing chamomile flower extract are helpful in managing eczema. These creams increase the numbers of the immune cells that engulf and eliminate infectious microorganisms, but do not stimulate other immune cells that might aggravate the condition.
• Endometrial cancer. Chamomile contains apigenin, a chemical that prevents the production of proteins that allow cancer cells from anchoring to new sites. |
