Have You Heard The Good News???
In these times of serious
anomie, when bad news filter in on seconds basis, one piece of news though is
bringing smiles to the faces of many people who have been suffering from
Chronic Diseases and making them happy.
Finally there is some good
news in the air and the good news is that after many years of searching for the
answer to cell aging and cell death, Scientific Researchers have come up with a
harbinger of hope for all diseases - PLANT STEM CELLS.
Scientific Researchers
have found out that just like human beings possess stem cells which have the
ability to renew themselves, so do SOME PLANTS
These Plant Stem Cells are
UNDIFFERENTIATED cells and which are extracted from the Meristem of those
plants.
Plant Stem Cells do not in
any way differentiate into human stem cells (those afraid of this happening
should have a respite), however the peptides, anti-inflammatory agents and antioxidants
found in them could stimulate human stem cell proliferation by 80 percent and
could protect human stem cells against UV damage.
In experiments on human
skin, researchers discovered that a cream containing the apple extract and
liposomes from lecithin could decrease wrinkle depth by an average of 8 percent
in just two weeks and by 15 percent in four weeks.
WHAT PLANTS ARE USED?
The small and white, clean
and bright Edelweiss, a mountain flower, is a stem cell powerhouse.
Edelweiss contains
leontopodic acids, chlorogenic acid and other ingredients that may lead to
younger-looking skin.
It is said to have anti-inflammatory
and cytoprotective (cell protecting) properties and allegedly prevents collagen
breakdown
Gotu kola, also known as
Centella asiatica and is native to the swamps of Madagascar, India, Sri Lanka
and Indonesia, has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years and
supposedly has anti-aging benefits, among other uses. It has also been found
to increase collagen in the face.
Swiss apple: Uttwiler
Spätlauber is a rare Swiss apple that supposedly has magical anti-aging
capabilities.
Raspberry cell cultures are
said to moisturize and lock in hydration.
Other popular sources of
plant stem cells harvested for ingredients for skincare products include lilac,
algae and grape seed.
