CHAPARRAL

What is chaparral?

This flowering plant has bright yellow flowers and thick green leaves layered with a resinous coating.

Chaparral is a herb that comes from the creosote bush. It grows in the western deserts of the USA.

Native Americans have used chaparral for many years to relieve pain and inflammation.

They also use it to treat many illnesses.

Chaparral is claimed to help treat over 50 ailments, including cancer, arthritis, tuberculosis, skin conditions, and the common cold. Below is more information.

• Chaparral contains various potent compounds that may interact with cancer pathways. In particular, chaparral leaves and stems contain nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), a potent antioxidant linked to tumor regression — the shrinkage of tumors.
• There are claims that the chaparral herb can prevent the replication of the human papillomavirus (HPV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and herpes simplex virus (HSV).
• Chaparral contains many different polyphenols called lignans, which are plant compounds that confer health benefits. The lignans in chaparral are believed to block transcription factor Sp1, which is responsible for replicating virus genes
• Chaparral contains NDGA, an antioxidant that can inhibit lipid peroxidation. This is a process in which molecules called free radicals attack lipids, resulting in cellular damage. Cellular damage may increase the risk of chronic diseases such as neurodegenerative disease.
• NDGA has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may improve conditions like arthritis, sciatica, headaches, and stomach pain. In one small study, rats given oral doses of NDGA experienced improvements in stomach ulcers and arthritis-related inflammation, which was attributed to NDGA’s strong antioxidant properties.

So, Chaparral is an herb that has been used as a cure-all for various ailments for centuries. It’s sold as a tea, supplement, oil, and homeopathic preparation. Though it’s banned in some countries, it’s still available in the United States and online.
