Antioxidant herbs, such as ginseng, hawthorn, ginkgo, milk thistle, rosemary and garlic, are important to stop free radicals from developing and injuring cells. However Cheney worries that large amounts could hinder rather than help CFS because antioxidants use up the nutrient glutathione as they work. Glutathione is needed to move oxygen into the cells but seems in short supply with CFS. The result is increased anaerobic activity (without oxygen) and decreased energy metabolism on a cellular level. To prevent this, Cheney suggests taking bioflavonoids, glutathione and minerals or eating plenty of mineral-rich green foods along with antioxidants. |

People with US complain that they always feel colder or hotter than everyone around them. Their inability to adjust to temperature can leave them weak and tired. The Chinese have several tea blends that are based on ginseng that prevent overheating. One formula also includes licorice and schizandra. When the Swedish Herbal Institute in Gothenburg gave seamen Siberian ginseng tonic while on a strenuous two-month voyage in the tropics, nearly three-quarters of the men did not experience the physical problems typical of working in extreme heat. Instead, their capacity for work, their heart function and breathing all improved. Siberian ginseng also maintained proper water, salt, blood protein and vitamin levels and kept blood vessels in good shape.21 |
