Al-Qost Al-Hendi

In the age of devices and precise analyses, there are still herbs that perplex scientists. One of them is Indian Costus. Every time science attempts to break down its components, it discovers something larger than expected. It seems every compound is arranged with precision, creating a delicate therapeutic structure without entering a laboratory. It is not just any herb; it is a complete therapeutic system.

The diseases it helps treat and alleviate include:

• Hypothyroidism (especially Hashimoto's): When immune cells become confused, they start attacking the gland itself. Indian Costus contains compounds such as Costunolide and Dehydrocostus lactone, which act as immune modulators. They do not stimulate it blindly but calm the aggressive T-cells and redirect the immune response. This balance allows the body to lessen the attack on the gland, letting it breathe and function again.
• Liver diseases (fatty liver, sluggishness, toxins): Indian Costus works in two ways:
  • It stimulates liver enzymes responsible for detoxification.
  • It prevents chronic inflammation within the liver to avoid fibrosis. Studies have shown that its antioxidants enhance the liver's ability to eliminate toxins and burn accumulated fats.
• Autoimmune disorders (such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis): In autoimmune diseases, the body confuses friend with foe. Indian Costus redefines these boundaries by calming attacking immune cells (Th1, Th17) and increasing regulatory cells (T-reg cells). As a result, inflammation decreases, and pain begins to lessen.
• Menstrual disorders and ovarian cysts: Indian Costus balances estrogen and progesterone by affecting the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-ovarian axis. This means it does not "randomly stimulate" hormones but restores balance between glands. This helps regulate ovulation, reduce cysts, and improve chances of conception.
• Digestive system problems (colon issues, bacteria, bloating): Have a stomach bug? Indian Costus halts its proliferation and reduces the inflammation it causes in the stomach wall. It possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties, even against antibiotic-resistant strains. It reduces the activity of Helicobacter pylori (stomach bacteria), cleanses the intestines of fermentation and gas, and enhances nutrient absorption.
• Skin problems (psoriasis, eczema, acne): The skin reflects the liver and immune system. When Indian Costus cleanses the liver and regulates immunity, eczema, psoriasis, and acne tend to disappear from the root.
• Joint inflammation and chronic pain: Chronic joint inflammation results from overactivity of substances such as TNF-alpha and IL-6, which are inflammatory signals. Indian Costus inhibits these signals, reducing inflammation and allowing joints to regain their flexibility.
• Asthma and respiratory allergies: Indian Costus acts as a natural bronchodilator and prevents excessive histamine release.
• Viruses and bacteria: The compounds in Indian Costus prevent viruses from adhering to cells and increase the activity of natural killer (NK) cells. This means it boosts immunity wisely, maintaining balance without letting it turn against the body.

Indian Costus is not just an herb or a formula; it is a precise pharmaceutical composition from nature with more wisdom than we think.

How to use:

• Amount: Half a teaspoon (approximately 1 gram).
• Method: Mix with a spoonful of natural honey, a cup of warm water, or even juice as desired.
• Time: Once in the morning on an empty stomach.

Duration of use: Continue for 3 weeks, then pause for a week and resume as needed.

The composition of Indian Costus and how it works:

• Costunolide: An antioxidant compound that helps cleanse the liver and joints from chronic inflammation and prevents cell damage due to oxidative stress. It has anti-tumor effects in some laboratory experiments, as it halts the life cycle of cancerous cells.
• Dehydrocostus lactone: This compound works at the genetic level. It improves immune response, inhibits viruses, and prevents the proliferation of abnormal cells, based on studies published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology. It does not only work superficially; it operates deeply, where issues begin.
• Alpha-pinene and Beta-caryophyllene: These compounds penetrate the blood-brain barrier and restore the balance of neurotransmitters, thus reducing anxiety, alleviating stress, and correcting sleep from its chemical roots.
