Blender’s Notes Osteoporosis WIP:
Steep Me Self Help Tea combinations are a wonderful way to get health benefits outside of the standard tea leaf. This combination of herbs helps the body with Osteoporosis. The blend was built to help build back some of the density in your bones that can be caused by Osteoporosis. We have also included several herbs to help with inflammation and detoxification. Choosing to also include these herbs will help the body rid itself of toxins, helping the other ingredients become more effective. What is Osteoporosis? Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and brittle — so brittle that a fall or even mild stresses such as bending over, or coughing can cause a break. Osteoporosis-related breaks most commonly occur in the hip, wrist, or spine. Bone is living tissue that is constantly being broken down and replaced. Osteoporosis occurs when the creation of new bone does not keep up with the loss of old bone. Osteoporosis affects people of all races. But white and Asian women, especially older women who are past menopause, are at highest risk. Medicines, healthy diet, and weight-bearing exercise can help prevent bone loss or strengthen already weak bones. Herbs help to prevent post-menopausal osteoporosis and provide your body with the nutrients it needs to maintain the health of your bones and connective tissues. Nutrient-dense herbs help your entire body to function optimally, giving your body the energy needed to grow and repair connective tissues. Antioxidant-rich herbs prevent aging, which contributes to the breakdown of bones and their supporting structures. Experts used to believe that calcium from plant sources, including herbs, was not as readily absorbed as calcium from dairy sources. However, it is now recognized that plant-based calcium is absorbable and usable at an astounding rate of 80 percent. This is vastly higher than the rates of absorption and use of calcium from other sources. Using calcium rich herbs such as nettle and sesame seeds will save you money and provide your body with the high-quality calcium needed to build strong bones.

In this blend we started with Horsetail. Horsetail contains silicon, this herb is ideal for protecting bones from calcium loss. Quercetin, oleanolic acid, and ursolic acid are antioxidants found in horsetail. These compounds may improve calcium levels and increase bone growth. Horsetail also contains the compound silica. Supplements made from silica have been linked to improved bone mineral density and strength. Next, we included Alfalfa. Alfalfa contains trace elements of minerals and vitamins needed to maintain healthy bones that are not easily obtained in the average diet. This herb supports a healthy acid-base balance within the tissues and improves oxygenation of tissues, preventing age-related damage from occurring. Rehmannia because it exerts the anti-osteoporotic effect via regulating the functions of kidney and liver as well as improving blood circulation. Elderberry was also included. Elderberry is known for its various health benefits, including its potential positive effects on bone health. Elderberries contain essential nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and potassium, which are important for maintaining bone density and strength. These nutrients can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis and other bone-related conditions. Spirulina has a high concentration of Vitamin B12 which contributes to bone health. Spirulina algae contain essential minerals & protein for bone health. By consuming more chlorophyll, you will protect bone-building cells by limiting free radicals. Oat Straw helps to improve your body’s absorption of calcium and other nutrients needed for healthy bones. Oat straw contains an extremely high concentration of magnesium, which is needed for bone health and general wellness. It also contains silica and calcium, in addition to a wide array of nutrients used to form strong bones and other connective tissues. We also included Parsley. Parsley is loaded with vitamin K, which has been linked to bone health. The vitamin supports bone growth and bone mineral density. One study on parsley found that it helped protect against osteoporosis in rats. Osteoporosis is caused by low levels of calcium in the bones and an amino acid called homocysteine. Folic acid can be used to break down this amino acid. Parsley is recognized as one of the greatest calcium sources. It has an adequate quantity of folic acid, which may aid in the breakdown of homocysteine.
This blend also contains Rosehips. Rosehips contain fifty times more vitamin C than a similar amount of an orange. They prevent osteoporosis by destroying free radicals, which hasten the aging process. Rosehips also enhance circulation throughout all tissues of the body, including the bones, and healthy circulation supports strong bone formation as well as slowing the breakdown of bone and other connective tissues. We also added Cistanche. Cistanche could regulate bone metabolism by promoting osteoblast activity and inhibiting osteoclast activity with low toxicity and adverse reactions. Therefore, Cistanche has attracted increasing attention for its efficacy in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in recent years. Red Raspberry contains extremely elevated levels of the trace mineral manganese and iron. Manganese is needed to create strong bones and cartilage. Epimedium can help nourishes kidneys, strengthens muscles, and bones, and eliminates rheumatism, Icariin, its representative active ingredient, being extensively documented for its anti-osteoporosis effects through multiple signaling pathways. And finally, we included Red Clover. Red Clover is used to prevent post-menopausal bone loss. Phytoestrogen offers many health benefits for your entire body. In the human body, estrogen works in conjunction with the hormone progesterone. Estrogen and progesterone must be carefully balanced to ensure a healthy ratio of hormones and optimal wellness. The herb vitex is used to balance progesterone levels. Vitex is sometimes used in herbal formulas designed to prevent and treat osteoporosis.
