ECHINACEA: An herb (Echinacea purpurea). Echinacea, commonly known as the purple coneflower, is used by American Indians as the remedy of choice for infections and animal bites. Recent research has uncovered active constituents that have a profound effect on proper immune function- particularly its polysaccharides and echinacosides. Today, echinacea is one of the most popular herbs used in a variety of natural remedies. ELASTIN: A protein that is similar to collagen and is the chief constituent of elastic fibers. ELDERBERRY: An herb (Sambucus racemosa). The elder is a common shrub bearing nutrient-dense black berries and small white flowers. Traditional use of this plant includes both the berry and the flower. Elderberry juice has a long tradition as a refreshing drink that enhances resistance and health. The berries are particularly rich in the important class of antioxidant compounds called polyphenols. ENZYME: Protein in the body that initiate and accelerate chemical reactions. EPIDEMIOLOGY: The study of the causes and distribution of disease in human populations. EXTRACT: In herbalism, the desired constituents withdrawn from a plant by physical or chemical means or both. EYEBRIGHT: An herb (Euphrasia officinalis). Eyebright comes from the family Scrophulariaceae and may be taken as a tea, in a lotion or infusion form or capsules. This plant has deeply cut leaves, native to the pastures of Britain and Europe and displays white, purple and yellow flowers through the months of July and September. This herb may be used for conjunctivitis and other eye irritations, but has not been said to have any therapeutic properties for the treatment of eye disease. |
