Watercress Herb Cultivated w/o Chemicals -
Nasturtium officinale, 1 lb, (Mountain Rose Herbs)
Watercress has long been used to treat sore throat and stuffy nose, but recent research suggests that it may have a much more vital use: preventing abnormal cell growths of the throat and lungs in smokers. Diets that include watercress may help to inhibit the formation of 4- (methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl-1-butanone), or NNK. This chemical is a carcinogen present in tobacco that most likely contributes to the etiology of lung abnormal cell growth, as well as of mouth and throat abnormal cell growths. One thing you must know to use watercress in your abnormal cell growth prevention diet is that the herb only releases the compounds that counteract the carcinogenic chemicals in tobacco smoke if the watercress is chewed. Taking a watercress capsule will not have the desired anti-abnormal cell growth effect.
Watercress is a hardy perennial plant of marshes and streams lying over limestone around the world. Used as both food and medicine, watercress was used by the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.E.) for treating stuffy nose, coughs, and congestions. The botanical name for the plant comes from a Roman term meaning "twisted nose."
Also known as: Nasturtium officinale, Rorippa naturtium-aquaticum, Brown Cress, Cress, Brooklime, Nasturtium and Berro.
SUGGESTED USAGE
Dried herb added to food (recommended), or infused as a tea. Very seldom found as an extract.
Precautions: The safety of watercress during pregnancy and for children under 4 has not been established. Do not use watercress if you have peptic or duodenal ulcers or if you have nephritis.
