WHEN we talk of Turmeric root and what it is used for the culinary use comes to mind. The turmeric root powder is so popular and is used in many cuisines including Indian, Persian, Thai and Chinese. Turmeric powder not only enhances the taste of any dish but the special property in it gives that rich colour to curries.

As for other uses the powder of Turmeric is considered auspicious in most Indian weddings. It is used for ceremonial purpose prior to the wedding, both for the bride and groom for a glowing complexion.  The turmeric powder is mixed with sandalwood powder and oil to make a rich paste, which is called Pithi. The name Pithi originates from the Indian State of Gujarat. The attending visitors and family members apply this paste all over on the bride and groom who usually have a separate ceremony at their individual residences. Pithi is also available ready mixed in some grocery shops.

Anticancer properties of research-grade Hydrastis canadensis (goldenseal) and characterization of its effect on the mdr1-encoded phosphoglycoprotein efflux pump. $49.99 Multiple drug resistance (MDR) in tumors, observed both in vivo and in vitro, is generally attributed to efflux-mediated reduced drug accumulation via mdr1/P-gp. Notoriously chemoresistant colorectal cancers exhibit the highest P-gp expression, account for 9% of all cancer deaths, and are the third most common cancer in men and women. P-gp, a 170kDa protein, contains twelve transmembrane segments with two ATP-binding domains used to extrude intracellular compounds of broad specificity against a concentration gradient. Studies concerning natural health products are becoming more prevalent in the search for safe anti-P-gp remedies and Hydrastis canadensis (goldenseal) was studied for its anti-cancer properties. Three forms of goldenseal from Sleepy Hollow Herb Farm (Dalton, Georgia) were tested in the Ames mutagenicity assay. The liquid extract, powder, and solid were tested in five ratios of root/rhizome:leaf/stem at five concentrations based on the minimum inhibitory concentrations to the tester Salmonella strain and compared to equivalent berberine amounts. All forms, ratios, and concentrations of goldenseal and berberine equivalents were found to be non-mutagenic. Goldenseal liquid in equal parts of root:leaf (GSL2:2) exerted the greatest activity with lowest toxicity and was assayed for its in vitro effects on colon cell viability, mdr1 gene expression, P-gp function, and ability to potentiate a chemotherapeutic drug. At 400mug/mL GSL2:2, HT-29 and doxorubicin-treated HT-29 (HT-29/Dox) but not CCD-18Co were significantly inhibited after 72 hours. Increasing amounts of GSL2:2 caused over 90% of cell death in CCD-18Co and HT-29; HT-29/Dox were still 50% viable even when treated with 6400mug/mL GSL2:2 after 72h. GSL2:2 at 400mug/mL led to significant increases in mdr1 gene expression in CCD-18Co after 24, 48, and 72 hours but did not significantly alter levels in HT-29 or HT-29/Dox. GSL2:2 at 100mug/mL and 400mug/mL reduced P-gp function in HT-29 and in

Excerpt: Syrup of ipecac (pronounced ), commonly referred to as Ipecac, is derived from the dried rhizome and roots of the ipecacuanha plant and is a well known emetic (substance used to induce vomiting). The actions of Ipecac are mainly those of its major alkaloids, emetine (methylcephaeline) and cephaeline. They both act locally by irritating the gastric mucosa and centrally by stimulating the medullary chemoreceptor trigger zone to induce vomiting. The commercial preparation of ipecac consists of 1/14th of fluedextractum of ipecac root. The rest is composed of glycerin and sugar syrup. Ipecac root itself is a poison but due to the normal strengths used and the inability of the patient to keep the solution ingested it is seldom fatal. Ipecac was used in cough mixtures as an expectorant or an emetic from the 18th until the early 20th century. Ipecac and opium were used to produce Dover’s powder, which was used in syrup form. Ipecac syrup is still used to induce vomiting, though it is no longer widely recommended. Pediatricians once recommended ipecac be kept in the home as a ready emetic for use in cases of accidental poisoning. Current guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics, however, strongly advise against this and in fact recommend the disposal of any syrup of Ipecac present in the home. Many toxicological associations have also issued position papers recommending against its use as a first-line treatment for most ingested poisons, because there has been no evidence that syrup of Ipecac actually helps improve the outcome in cases of poisoning. Moreover, accidental overdose of ipecac can result when administered in the home. A 2005 review by an HRSA-funded scientific panel concluded that vomiting alone does not reliably remove poisons f… More:
