Better Than Conventional Corticosteroids (Dexamethasone) In Cure of Edema, Scientists Say

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


By Kyle J. Norton

Herbal Arnica may be used as therapeutic and integrated whole food medicne in cure of edema, some scientists suggested.

Arnica is a herbaceous species, genus perennial, belongings to the family Asteraceae, antive to Europe and Asia, used in herbal medicine for centuries in treatment of strains, sprains, and bruises.
Wound healing is process of repairing after damage of skin, tissues, organs, etc.

Edema is a condition, characterized by excessive accumulation of fluids in some tissues within the body.

Certain diseases including heart, liver, and kidneys may also increase prevalence of edema as a result of salt retention in induction of excess fluid accumulated in the body tissue.

Some researchers also suggested that the alternation of starling forces which control transfer of fluid from the vascular compartment to surrounding tissue spaces may be a culprit in facilitated edematous disorders.

 

However, in compared to diminished organs function in causes of edema, edematous states may share many of the same afferent and efferent mechanisms for sodium and water retention.

Long term untreated  edema may increase complications of painful swelling, difficulty walking. with skin becoming itchy and uncomfortable. In serious case, it can cause infection in the swollen area and scarring between layers of tissue.

Some patients may also experience decreased blood circulation,  elasticity of arteries, veins, joints and muscles far away from the infectious areas.

 

The ingredients
Helenalin, chamissonolid, Sesquiterpene lactone, lignans of the furofuran, dibenzylbutyrolactone, dibenzylbutyrolactol types, pinoresinol, epipinoresinol, phillygenin, matairesinol, nortrachelogenin, and nortracheloside, six dibenzylbutyrolactol derivative.

In the study to compare the efficacy of herbal Arnica and corticosteroids in reduced postoperative edema and bruising associated with rhinoplasty of 48 primary rhinoplasty patients randomly assigned to three groups as follow

* Group P received 10 mg of dexamethasone (intravenously) intraoperatively followed by a 6-day oral tapering dose of methyl-prednisone
* Group A received Arnica three times a day for 4 days, and
* Group C received neither agent and served as the control.

3 blinded panelists were assigned to rate the extent of ecchymosis, including the intensity of the ecchymosis, and the severity of the edema

After observating the study over the entire period, scientists found that
* There were no significant differences in all groups on the day 2 of postoperative
* In compared to increased swelling of control group, both group A and P demonstrated a significant improvement in edema rating.

Interestingly, conventional medicine administration group exerted higher intensity of ecchymosis compared to groups A and C on the day of postoperative and all groups displayed no difference of magnitude of edema.

However, between period of day 2 and 8, groups A and C exhibited significantly more resolution of ecchymosis in compared to group P.

The results suggested that although Arnica may have a therapeutic property in reducing edema during the early postoperative period. And the herbal medicine did not provide similar benefits in regard to extent and intensity of ecchymosis in compared to corticosteroids.

In order to further confirmation of the effect of herbal Arnica in reduced postoperative ecchymosis and edema, researchers at the joint study lead University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, conducted an investigation in a select population of healthy volunteers after oculofacial surgery by examining the postoperative course and medical records of a total of 27 patients (16 females, 11 males) with age range from18 to 70 years using topical Arnica and Ledum after undergoing common oculofacial procedures, including blepharoplasty, browpexy, and rhinoplasty, in the hands of 4 surgeons at tertiary referral centers from July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012.

According to the result of experiment, application of Arnica 50 M (10) 50% and Ledum 50 M (10) pads bilaterally after surgery through postoperative day 6, showed a significantly accelerated healing from day 7 to day 12 in dose depending manner, without inflicting any adverse effects.

The findings suggested that application of composited Arnica and Ledum displays a potential efficacy in reducing postoperative ecchymosis and edema after oculofacial surgery.

The above differentiation of herbal Arnica in improved edema after surgery were supported by the joint study lead by the Research Center of University of adult male Wistar rats inoculated with 1% carrageenan into the footpad to induce emeda then treated with Arnica montana 6cH, dexamethasone (4.0 mg/kg; positive control) or 5% hydroalcoholic solution (negative control), per os, each 15 minutes, between 30 and 180 minutes after the irritant inoculation.

According to the investigation, application of Arnica group exhibited anti edema through increased lymphatic edema absorption, particularly, in late edema and less intense edema treatment group after adjusting to the individually qualitative of inflammatory vascular events.

Moreover, the edema inhibition of Arnica was attributed to significant reduced mast cell degranulation and increased lymphatic vessels diameter and decreased production of prostaglandins associated to the development of edema, caused by subcutaneous carrageenan injection in induction of local inflammation. 

Taken together, herbal Arnica may be considered as a functional food in reduced risk, progression and for treatment of edema and ecchymosis.

      40% of asthmatics excluded from clinical trials since the early 1990′s and now we are 20 million and for several years NO SAFE MEDICATIONS AND OR INHALERS FOR US. now.. AND the only safe theophylline which synthesizes even liquid oxygen into the DNA level and fights inflation to that level is being blocked by the FDA for several years over ‘work site issues as its the only one that does not use the DOW etc? alcohol gels, celluloses, gums to bond pills with and are life threatening reaction for those like me.. foods have this now but the food industries does better neutralizes it for safe use by GENERALLY as the FDA said in 2006. ( that means its not fully safe for all. ) all health care in USA under control of an international cabal of contractors and no oversight budget allowed o be spent by act of Congress since law passed and signed in 2002. and congress will not put it back so its a deadly mess and the national medical data base was found altered to make us all COPD patients about a decade ago and getting tobacco settlement money to monitor millions whose illnesses have nothing to do with tobacco. All this corruption means as of a decade ago NO SAFE INHALERS FOR US EITHER AS WE ARE THE NON ALLERGIC KIND.. James Stocks MD at University of Texas prescribed Demexatheosone be used to replace iAzmacort which was removed from the market as was millions of others relied on due to CFC’ S haring the Ozone layer…?? and the 1997 waiver, I was part of getting approved then was not renewed by Congress as the national data base said millions of us did not exist anymore. AND NO NEED. and I came up with putting drops in the distilled water bubble dup attacked to my liquid oxygen and have used this since 2011.. and several doctors have prescribed it .. with good success.. BUT YOUR DOCTOR NEEDS TO MONITOR TO GET THE DOSAGE RIGHT AS ITS A 24/7 DOSE AND ONLY A FEW DROPS IS NEEDED. I now have my cromylon sodium done the same way to replace Intal as when it was put over the counter , inflaming preservatives added and called a nasal spray and that is not what it was used or at all.. the FDA did not even know its was not for allergies at all bug a stabilizer for bronchiopasms which many times the cartilage gets weakened in an toxic exposure as mine did which some in Hawaii and other areas are being added to our numbers now ..
      As for theophylline: a flawed study done under the Clinton Adm excluding us indicated another synthetic pentoxull…. could be substituted for that and as it done only to justify using the DOW CHEMICAL TIME RELEASE BONDING AND IT IS DANGEROUS FOR MANY LIKE ME.. WE 40% NOT PWRT OF the study?? SINCE 2002 THE FDA CANNOT VERIFY ANY DATA OR FACTS FROM A CONTRACORS LIKE THE REST OF HTE GOVT CANNOT .. NONE KNOW WHAT IS ADDED TO MEDICAINE NOW.. AND THAT IS THE ISSUE FOR MANY .. I am not in my kitchen neutralizing the chemical bonding out of the theophylline with acidophilus and another probiotic that has the rhamm… one for the liver and heat unto foam about 1 min 20 sec. and then add baking soda until its foams to neutralize the acetic acid created.. AND I ADD a dash of NUTMEG TO THE FIRST WHICH IS SOAKED FOR 12+ hours and then heated and add some raisin tree powder at the end before drinking when cooled from the clear glass cup ( I used a sugar and creamer and punch bowl ones ) but glad to know about the arnica as we may find ourselves with NO MEDS MADE AT ALL FOR MANY MORE BEFORE THIS IS OVER.. and what out as there is NO TRUTH IN LABELING ANYMORE SINCE 2014 AND EVEN THE PHARMCEUTICAL COMPANIES PUT DSCLAMIERS ON PACKEAGE INSERTS THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS BEING ADDED. AND YOUR DOCTOR, PHARMACIST DO NOT KNOW EITHER NOR POISON CONTROL AS HUNDREDS OF MILIONS OF DOLLARS IS MISSING FOR THE DATA BASE WE TAXPAYERS PAID TO HAVE SET UP WTH ALLTHE NEW SUBSTANCES OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS AND ITS MISSING!!!
      THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE INFO AND I ALWAYS SAY MAKE SURE YOUR DOCTORS KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING AS THEY ARE BOUND BY LIABILITIES ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THIS CABAL FROM DIRECT HELP BUT AT LEAST THEY CAN MONITOR YOU MEDICALLY .. START OUT SMALL AS I GOT OVERDOSED ON THE DEMEXETHOSONE AT FIRST AND POTASSION LEVELS GOT DANGEROUSLY LOW. BEFORE ROUTINE BLOOD WORK CAUGHT IT. I am alive nearly 30 years from a 1/10/89 bad toxic exposure that most today with no meds made and harder to get liquid oxygen as I finally got it after 5 years and YOUR LIFE EXPECTANCY IS BACK TO A FEW YEARS AT MOST unless you search for answers of what is already known to work and is the treatment standards ignored by the cabal in control . .. and that is a holocaustic atrocity with all that is known but the cabal run world is not letting be done.. Doctors say one is a liquid oxygen(cannot tolerate the ozone of the concentrators as deal in parts per billions or trillions not millions for us .) O2 patient from day one from such an exposure.. and some are being taught that one never gets left ventricle heart failure and that is because you will not if you die before it develops ..you may find this cabal will not even allow the kind of EKG that tests that run ..now al my doctors over the years have described is going on is now indicating that all along its been known we have another organ in our bodes that is he lymphatic immune system and the mucous membrane is the top layer of that and what we have is a kind os asthma for the whole of that and it just manifests in the lungs and treated as an asthma but not an allergic reactions. YEARS AGO THIS USED TO BE CALLED CHEMICAL AIDS. but has nothing to do with HIV as its a chemical exposure that does damage and it seems that once inured there is an initial healing , then a devastating second injury at the hospitals that destroys that as we get into all the common chemicals for cleaning etc…. and left with no barriers for the common chemicals we now have to avoid
      AND WHEN THERE IS LIALBIITY issues. THE LYING BEGINS TO ADMIT IT TOXIC AND THE HOSPITALS DO NOT KNOW TO GET YOU INTO A CHEMICAL FREE AREA. AND SUBSTANCES USED. and this is not what got you , but what got you at the hospitals. ?? and needs study badly….. THESES KINDS OF GRANTS ARE NOT BEING LET. NOW AS WE 20 MILLION + do not exist re the CABAL IN CONTROL AND THE FDA THAT DOES AS THEY SAY.. I was one of the initial 1/2 dozen precedent cases for toxic and chemical injuries in the USA and more about a real cover up that led to 9/11/01 at LINDA JOY ADAMS DAILY RECAP ADDED 9/11/16 .. your info shared is saving lives and many have helped me survive this last few months as the shelves in pharmacies emptied of the last safe theophylline pills from TEVA out of Jerusalem and blocked again by work site issues to make the basic synthesizer of all the other meds. and oxygen and that is a miracle drug from the chocolate or tea plants since discovered in 1888. (chocolate plants plowed under world wide to grow the cocaine ones..is part of the issues) Pliva of TEVA use dehydrated lactose for bonding after the sulfuronel is off gassed *(camphor neutralizes that) for the perfumes we usually cannot tolerate.. now. post either traumatic or long term low exposure.. ONLINE IS LIVES BEING SAVED WITH INFO SHARED AND MAKE SURE YOUR DOCTOR IS AWARE … Linda joy Adams
