Antioxidant Herbs

Those herbs, which neutralize free radicals without being unstable themselves, are known as anti-oxidants. The antioxidant herbs protect the body cell from the possible damage caused due to oxidation. Oxidation in our bodies is caused by free radicals produced as a normal byproduct of cell metabolism. Many conditions accelerate the production of free radicals, such as physical and emotional trauma, bacterial infections, pollution, smoke, chemicals and pesticides. Some of the natural antioxidant herbs, that contain primary antioxidants such as vitamin A, including beta carotene, vitamin C and vitamin E, found naturally are as follows: • Acacia catechu • Adiantum capillus • Castor • Cissampelos pareira • Citrus aurantium • Curcuma longa • Curcuma longa 95% • Curcuma zedoaria • Lemongrass • Mallotus philippinensis • Morinda citrifolia • Pomegranate seed oil • Punica granatum • Thymus vulgaris • Zingiber officinalis
