Vegetable - Mint Leaves - Allergies

Mint Leaves

  1. Side effects and Caution:
    • There are a few cautions regarding the use of mint oil: it is not recommended to use mint oil during pregnancy and lactation or to apply it on babies' skin. For external use, the mint oil must be diluted, no more then 30 drops of oil should be used in a skin cream.
    • Mint contains high levels of rosmarinic acid, an antioxidant that quenches free radicals and reduces allergy symptoms by inhibiting COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. A study published in the 2004 issue of the journal "Biofactors" found that 50 milligrams of rosmarinic acid per day for 21 days reduced levels of allergy-related white blood cells, called eosinophils, and inflammatory molecules and decreased allergy symptoms significantly. In a laboratory animal section of the study, topical application of rosmarinic acid reduced skin inflammation within five hours. Researchers concluded that rosmarinic acid may offer benefits for the treatment of seasonal allergies due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Vegetable - Beet Root - Allergies

Beet root

  1. Fever, Chills, and Rashes :
    • Although these side effects are infrequently reported, some people have reported experiencing fever, chills, and rashes after consuming beet juice. If you think you're suffering these effects from drinking beet juice, stop drinking it. If the problem persists, see a doctor. Rashes may indicate an allergy.
    • Sometimes detoxification and cleansing creates temporary symptoms such as a low fever or chills. This is one possible explanation of why beet juice may create this side effect. If it improves cellular respiration as conventional science states, one possible theory is that the cells are better capable of releasing stored waste, and if many cells release waste at once, it can cause slight flu-like symptoms. Of course, you could really have the flu, or possibly another illness, so if the symptoms persist after stopping the beet juice, see your physician.
  2. Vocal Cord Problems :A feeling of tightness in the throat or trouble speaking can be a side effect of drinking too much beet juice. Most sources state that drinking beet juice in conjunction with apple juice or other fresh vegetable juices in a vegetable juice cocktail seems to prevent this unusual and infrequent side effect.
