			<description><![CDATA[Valerian is a perennial flowering herb native to both Europe and Asia. The usage of Valerian has been ongoing since ancient Greece, with ancient Greek physicians, such as Hippocrates and Galen, using it to help with insomnia.
It was also used in 16-17th Century England to help with croup and other severe coughs, along with being used to help with headaches. Finally, the plant was also described as an anticonvulsant. However, it is the use of Valerian for insomnia and other sleep related difficulties which has continued into modern day life.

			<description><![CDATA[St John’s Wort is a flowering plant and is, actually, the crowning plant of the Hypericaceae family, with the family being named after St. John’s Wort’s scientific name. St John’s Wort is native to temperate parts of Europe and Asia but has spread to many temperate regions worldwide.
The usage of St John’s Wort began in Ancient Roman times and has been discovered as being a key ingredient for health, which has been used to treat a wide variety of illnesses, of the time. Indeed, the red oily extract of St John’s Wort has been used to dress wounds for millennia and even received its given name due to its popular usage by the Knights Hospitaller’s detachment known...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Milk Thistle is a biennial plant, originally native to Southern Europe and Asia, which is now found around the planet. The remedial usage of Milk Thistle has been ongoing for over 2000 years. We have ancient records of the Romans, in the first century A.D., that describe how the plant was used as a liver-protector.
Ever since, it has been used throughout both British and American history as a natural solution for liver problems. However, as well as this, the plant was also cultivated for food consumption, with the flowerhead being eaten much like an artichoke, along with the leaves being consumed as a spinach substitute.
This shows how crucial the plant was to everyday life and how it can still hold...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Echinacea is a flowering plant in the daisy family, native to eastern and central North America. The remedial usage of Echinacea began in its place of origin, in North America, where it was historically used by various American Indian tribes for different purposes.
For example, the Kiowa and Cheyenne tribes utilised the plant to alleviate the symptoms of a sore throat and bad coughs. The Pawnee tribe used it for headaches, whilst the Lakota tribe, along with many others, used it for pain relief.
Indeed, even in modern society, people still take Echinacea to help prevent the onset of colds and to help with the symptoms, along with taking it to help improve their immune system as a whole.

			<description><![CDATA[Devil’s Claw is a plant native to Southern Africa, earning their moniker owing to the hooked appearance of the fruit which the plant bears.
The remedial usage of Devil’s Claw began in its place of origin, in South Africa, where it was historically believed and thought to be useful in a wide variety of pain related conditions.
However, whilst some studies have been performed, there is currently not enough evidence to scientifically prove the extract can successfully and consistently treat these issues.
Devil’s Claw’s scientific name is Harpagophytum procumbens and whilst its name might originate from the plant’s fruit, for its medicinal properties, it is actually extracted from the root which are taken for their medicinal properties.

			<description><![CDATA[Black Cohosh is a flowering plant, native to North Eastern America. Historically, it was the Native Americans who first discovered Black Cohosh’s medicinal properties.
However, in today’s society, Black Cohosh is most commonly associated with the menopause. To be precise, scientific studies have been performed using Black Cohosh where it has reduced: hot flushes, night sweats and sleep difficulties.
Black Cohosh has also had studies performed where it has alleviated the mental symptoms of menopausal induced anxiety, with the varied ill effects that it can bring. These studies were involving both perimenopausal and postmenopausal women.
Black Cohosh’s scientific name is Actaea Racemosa and it is a member of the Ranunculaceae plant family. As a herbal remedy, not all of the plant is...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Having to visit the loo more often than you want and worrying about the virility challenges that getting older brings, affects so many men.
Hypertrophy means an increase volume of the prostate. It affects several million men because as men age, gradually year after year, practically all of them are affected: 90% in fact. A ‘benign’ hypertrophy is a non-cancerous condition and can be treated by natural medicine - because it’ naturally reversible in the true sense. By taking the right natural ingredients you can reduce the size of your prostate to improve ease of urination and sexuality (the latter is connected to the prostate).
The prostate covers the sphincter which surrounds the urethra, a muscle which allows voluntarily controlling micturition (the action of urinating). When you...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[One of the most abundant elements in our body at birth, organic silicon possesses prodigious regenerative properties and is vital for the healthy functioning of the whole of the body.
Silicon is one of twelve principal constituent elements of living organisms, principally present in the skin, the vessel walls, bones, tendons, muscles, pancreas, bladder, liver, kidneys, heart, thyroid, adrenal gland, hair and nails. Several scientific studies have proven the essential role of organic silicon in rebuilding health. Unfortunately, levels in your body deplete over the course of our lifetime, causing a loss in flexibility, suppleness and elasticity and triggering cellular degeneration, joint pain, a weakening of the immune system and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

			<description><![CDATA[DON’T LET ANYONE tell you that losing your hair is just another part of growing older.
How many times have you heard ‘if anyone’s bald in your family you’ve got no chance of keeping your hair!’ The good news is you can do something about it.
Scientists have found that baldness is caused by a hormone called Dihydrotestosterone, or DHT. This hormone shrinks your hair follicles so they are no longer able to produce hair strong enough to either begin to grow or remain in your scalp for any length of time.
A breakthrough formula called Minoxamax® has been pioneered which can actually switch off the receptors on the hair follicle, so DHT...]]></description>
