Uses & Effectiveness

Overview

Linden is a common name for trees belonging to the Tilia genus. The dried flower, leaves, and wood are used for medicine.

People use linden for conditions such as colds, headache, trouble sleeping (insomnia), itchy skin, and many others, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.

Linden is a type of tree that is known for its beautiful and fragrant flowers, but did you know that it is also a rich source of vitamin C? Just 100 grams of linden flowers can provide up to 8 times more vitamin C than an orange! So next time you see a linden tree, remember its hidden vitamin-packed secret.

Side Effects

When taken by mouth: Linden is LIKELY SAFE for most people when the leaf is used in food amounts. Linden might cause allergies in some people when taken by mouth. Frequent use of linden tea has been linked with heart damage, but this seems to be rare. It is not clear if linden is safe when used in medicinal amounts.

When applied to the skin: There isn't enough reliable information to know if linden is safe when applied to the skin. It might cause allergies in some people.

Interactions

    Moderate Interaction

    Be cautious with this combination

  • Lithium interacts with LINDEN

    Linden might have an effect like a water pill or “diuretic.” Taking linden might decrease how well the body gets rid of lithium. This could increase how much lithium is in the body and result in serious side effects. Talk with your healthcare provider before using this product if you are taking lithium. Your lithium dose might need to be changed.

Special Precautionsand Warnings

When taken by mouth: Linden is LIKELY SAFE for most people when the leaf is used in food amounts. Linden might cause allergies in some people when taken by mouth. Frequent use of linden tea has been linked with heart damage, but this seems to be rare. It is not clear if linden is safe when used in medicinal amounts.

When applied to the skin: There isn't enough reliable information to know if linden is safe when applied to the skin. It might cause allergies in some people. Pregnancy and breast-feeding: There isn't enough reliable information to know if linden is safe to use when pregnant or breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.

Heart disease: Frequent use of linden tea has been linked with heart damage. If you have heart disease, do not use linden without medical supervision.

Dosing

The appropriate dose of linden depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, and several other conditions. At this time there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for linden. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.

      Uses & Effectiveness

      Overview

      Cannabidivarin (CBDV) is a chemical in the Cannabis sativa plant. It is similar to cannabidiol (CBD). Like CBD, cannabidivarin does not affect thinking.

      Early research suggests that cannabidivarin might make certain nerve cells less active. These nerve cells are involved in swelling (inflammation), seizures, pain, and other conditions. By making these cells less active, cannabidivarin might improve these conditions.

      There is interest in using cannabidivarin for seizure disorder, nausea, long-term swelling (inflammation) in the digestive tract, and other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.

      Cannabidivarin (CBDV), a non-intoxicating compound found in cannabis plants, has shown potential in reducing seizures and symptoms associated with epilepsy, making it a promising option for future medical treatments.

      Side Effects

      When taken by mouth: It is possibly safe to take cannabidivarin at a dose of up to 1600 mg daily, for up to 8 weeks. It might cause side effects such as diarrhea, dizziness, headache, sleepiness, and nausea. There isn't enough reliable information to know if cannabidivarin is safe when used in larger doses or for more than 8 weeks.

      Interactions

There isn't enough reliable information to know if cannabidivarin is safe when used in larger doses or for more than 8 weeks.

      Pregnancy and breast-feeding: There isn't enough reliable information to know if cannabidivarin is safe to use when pregnant or breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.

      Dosing

      There isn't enough reliable information to know what an appropriate dose of cannabidivarin might be. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult a healthcare professional before using.

      Uses & Effectiveness

      Overview

      Ivy gourd is a plant. The leaves, root, and fruit are used to make medicine.

      Ivy gourd is most often used for diabetes. People also use ivy gourd for gonorrhea, constipation, wounds, and other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses. Ivy gourd fruit and leaves are also used as a vegetable in India and other Asian countries.

      Vitamin A, found in Ivy Gourd, is not only essential for healthy vision, but also plays a crucial role in strengthening the immune system, maintaining healthy skin and mucous membranes, and promoting normal growth and development.

      Side Effects

      When taken by mouth: Ivy gourd leaf is POSSIBLY SAFE for most people when taken by mouth for up to 6 weeks. Side effects are mild and may include headache, nausea, or dizziness. There isn't enough information to know if ivy gourd is safe when used long-term.

      Interactions

        Moderate Interaction

        Be cautious with this combination

      • Medications for diabetes (Antidiabetes drugs) interacts with IVY GOURD

        Ivy gourd might lower blood sugar levels. Diabetes medications are also used to lower blood sugar. Taking ivy gourd along with diabetes medications might cause your blood sugar to be too low. Monitor your blood sugar closely. The dose of your diabetes medication might need to be changed.

        Some medications used for diabetes include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (Diabeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), chlorpropamide (Diabinese), glipizide (Glucotrol), tolbutamide (Orinase), and others.

      Special Precautionsand Warnings

      When taken by mouth: Ivy gourd leaf is POSSIBLY SAFE for most people when taken by mouth for up to 6 weeks. Side effects are mild and may include headache, nausea, or dizziness. There isn't enough information to know if ivy gourd is safe when used long-term. Pregnancy and breast-feeding: There isn't enough reliable information to know if ivy gourd is safe to use when pregnant or breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.

      Surgery: Ivy gourd might lower blood sugar. There is some concern it might interfere with blood sugar control during and after surgery. Stop using ivy gourd at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.

      Dosing

      The appropriate dose of ivy gourd depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, and several other conditions. At this time there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for ivy gourd. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.

      Side Effects

        Uses & Effectiveness

        We currently have no information for CHAGA overview.

        Overview

        Chaga is a fungus that grows on tree trunks, especially birch trees. It produces a woody growth, called a conk, which absorbs nutrients from the wood.

        Chaga might stimulate the immune system. It contains some chemicals that have antioxidant effects, and might lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

        People use chaga for conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and others, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.

        Chaga, also known as the King of Medicinal Mushrooms, is a rich source of essential B vitamins, particularly vitamin B5, which plays a crucial role in energy production, stress reduction, and maintaining healthy skin and hair.

        Side Effects

        When taken by mouth: There isn't enough reliable information to know if chaga is safe or what the side effects might be. It contains a chemical called oxalate which can damage the kidneys when taken in high doses for a long time.

        Interactions

          Moderate Interaction

          Be cautious with this combination

        • Medications for diabetes (Antidiabetes drugs) interacts with CHAGA

          Chaga might lower blood sugar levels. Taking chaga along with diabetes medications might cause blood sugar to drop too low. Monitor your blood sugar closely.

        • Medications that decrease the immune system (Immunosuppressants) interacts with CHAGA

          Chaga can increase the activity of the immune system. Some medications, such as those used after a transplant, decrease the activity of the immune system. Taking chaga along with these medications might decrease the effects of these medications.

        • Medications that slow blood clotting (Anticoagulant / Antiplatelet drugs) interacts with CHAGA

          Chaga might slow blood clotting. Taking chaga along with medications that also slow blood clotting might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.

        Special Precautionsand Warnings

        When taken by mouth: There isn't enough reliable information to know if chaga is safe or what the side effects might be. It contains a chemical called oxalate which can damage the kidneys when taken in high doses for a long time. Pregnancy and breast-feeding: There isn't enough reliable information to know if chaga is safe to use when pregnant or breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.

        “Auto-immune diseases” such as multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), or other conditions: Chaga might cause the immune system to become more active. This could increase the symptoms of auto-immune diseases. If you have one of these conditions, it's best to avoid using chaga.

        Bleeding disorders: Chaga might increase the risk of bleeding. Don't use chaga if you have a bleeding disorder.

        Surgery: Chaga might affect blood sugar control or increase the risk of bleeding during and after surgery. Stop using chaga at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.

        Dosing

        There isn't enough reliable information to know what an appropriate dose of chaga might be. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult a healthcare professional before using.

        Side Effects

        Upset stomach, nausea, dizziness, trouble sleeping, or nervousness may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

        Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: mental/mood changes (such as confusion, hallucinations), fast/irregular heartbeat, problems urinating.

        A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
