Capsaicin Cream Improves Diabetic Neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes in which the peripheral nerves are damaged.
Capsaicin is the active ingredient in chili peppers.
This systematic review showed that a 0.075% capsaicin cream applied to painful areas 4 times a day for 8 weeks reduces pain intensity and improves pain relief.
Presumably because of the pain relief, the topical application also improved sleep quality.
This study suggests that capsaicin cream could provide real relief for people with diabetic neuropaty.

A Diet That’s Good for the Planet Is Also Good for You.
You want to eat a diet that’s good for you. You want to eat a diet that’s environmental and good for the planet. The good news is, it’s the same diet.
The typical diet in high-income countries is bad for you and bad for the planet. It is too rich in meat, processed meat, refined grains, sugars and bad fats and too low in fiber. It promotes obesity, heart disease and diabetes, while using 40% of the land, 70% of all fresh water used and causing 30% of all greenhouse-gas emissions. It is also the largest cause of species being threatened with extinction.
The EAT-Lancet diet emphasizes plant-based foods, including whole grains, legumes, nuts, vegetables, fruits, unsaturated oils and only small amounts of animal products. The original report on the diet, published in Lancet, suggested that such a diet can reduce 19%-23.6% of deaths annually world wide. It suggested that such a diet could reduce greenhouse emissions by as much as 80%.
An important new study has now looked at the effect of the EAT-Lancet diet on nutrient intake by looking at 17 nutrients. It included 25,970 people.
It found that the EAT-Lancet diet was “associated with overall higher nutrient intake”. At the highest level of adherence to the diet, no micronutrient was associated with an intake below the recommended level, and most exceeded it.
There was a lower risk of deficiency in folic acid. According to some measures, there was also a lower risk of selenium and zinc deficiency. For vitamin D, there was no difference in women and a lower risk of deficiency in men. According to some, but not all, scales, there was a very small increased risk of anemia in women (4.6% versus 3.3%).
Previous research by the lead author found that those who most closely follow the EAT-Lancet diet have a 33% reduced risk of dying from cardiovascular disease compared to people who least followed it. Deaths from cancer and risk of premature death from any cause were around 25% lower.
She says, “It is possible to combine an environmentally sustainable diet with good health. The studies show that such dietary patterns can reduce the risk of disease and premature death without compromising nutrient intake…. There are positive synergies between health and sustainability.”

When it Comes to the Heart, Black Seed Does it All!

You knew that black seed does a lot. But, when it comes to cardiovascular disease, it seems to do it all!
There have been a huge number of studies on Nigella sativa, commonly known as black seed, and risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This very high quality systematic review and meta-analysis put them all together for the most definitive word yet on black seed and cardiovascular disease. The meta-analysis included 82 high quality, controlled studies of a total of 5,026 people.
Remarkably, it showed that black seed significantly improves a very wide range of cardiovascular risk factors. When it comes to weight, black seed significantly improves weight, body fat percentage, body mass index, waist circumference, muscle mass and waist-to-hip ratio.
When it comes to blood pressure, it significantly improves systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure. Black seed also significantly improves total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol, ratio of triglycerides to HDL cholesterol (atherogenic index) and triglycerides.
As for diabetes markers, black seed significantly improves fasting and after eating blood sugar, long term blood sugar control (HbA1c) and insulin sensitivity.
Markers of inflammation, including C-reactive protein (CRP), high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, are all significantly improved with black seed.
Additionally, black seed significantly improves the liver enzymes ALP, ALT and AST. As for the kidney, it improved creatinine and urea.
It also improved markers of antioxidants and oxidative damage, including MDA, SOD and total antioxidant capacity.
The most profound effects seemed to occur with doses over 2g that were taken for at least 8 weeks.
This study provides high quality evidence that black seed may be an important and versatile herb for cardiovascular health.

Ginger for Pain Relief
Ginger is an incredibly useful and versatile herb. This new pain study adds to the list of ginger’s uses.
Thirty men and women with a history of joint and muscle pain as well as inflammation were given either ginger or a placebo to see what effect they would have on pain after working out.
Ginger reduced pain, stiffness and functional capacity as well as leading to better total scores on the WOMAC osteoarthritis index.
There was also evidence that they had less discomfort while sleeping and when going up and down stairs.

Omega-3 EFA’s Reduce the Risk of Preterm Births.
Despite the evidence that supplementing omega-3 EFA’s during pregnancy reduces the risk of preterm births, omega-3’s are not usually included in prenatal vitamins. This study set out to see if adding them would reduce the risk of preterm births.
The study included 9,461 pregnant women. It found women who supplemented omega-3 EFA’s on top of their prenatal vitamins were a significant 36% less likely to have a preterm birth and 35% less likely to give birth to a baby who was small for their gestational age.
This study suggests that making omega-3 part of your prenatal supplement program may help protect against preterm birth.

Asparagus for Menopause? The Evidence Mounts.

Unexpectedly, there is a growing body of scientific evidence recommending asparagus root extract for menopause.
There has been a recent flurry of studies demonstrating the benefits of asparagus root extract for menopause.
Asparagus racemosus, or wild asparagus, is in the same family as, but distinct from, the Asparagus officinalis that we eat. In traditional herbalism, the most valued part of the plant is the root, which is known in the traditional Ayurvedic system of healing as shatavari.
Several recent studies have established shatavari as a potentially important herb for menopause and perimenopause (Cureus. April 8, 2024;16(4):e57879; Functional Foods in Health and Disease 2025;15(7):415-443; J Am Nutr Assoc. 2025 May 28:1-11).
The latest is a double-blind study that gave 73 perimenopausal women either a placebo or 300mg of shatavari root extract for 8 weeks.
Once again, the shatavari proved itself. Improvement on both the Menopause Rating Scale and the Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire were significantly greater in the asparagus group. Hot flash frequency was reduced significantly more on the shatavari. Estradiol, follicle-stimulating hormone and triiodothyronine were significantly better in the herb group.
On the Profile of Mood States, fatigue scores were significantly more improved in the asparagus group, and on the Perceived Stress Scale, there were significantly greater reductions on the shatavari.
There were no adverse effects, suggesting that shatavari is not only effective, but safe, benefitting physical and psychological symptoms and hormone levels.

This is Unexpected! Probiotics for Infertility.

10-14% of couples worldwide experience infertility. 15-25% of them have infertility that is unexplained. Help may come from a very surprising place.
Previous research has suggested the possibility that female infertility could be associated with microbiota in the ge***al tract. That has led to consideration of the possibility that probiotics might help. Preliminary research has given cause for hope.
This new, double-blind study put the hope to the scientific test. 57 couples with unexplained infertility who were about to undergo IVF were given either a placebo or the probiotic L. salivarius. The probiotic was given to both the male and the female who took it for 6 months prior to IVF and during the first IVF cycle.
Significantly more couples in the probiotic group had a successful pregnancy that resulted in a live baby without birth defects with 48% in the probiotic group versus 20% in the placebo group.
This study introduces the hope that oral supplementation of probiotics, specifically L. salivarius, taken by both partners can significantly increase the rate of successful pregnancy for couples frustrated by unexplained infertility.

Want Safe, Natural Help for Menopause? Introducing Ashwagandha.

Women going through menopause can experience hot flashes, sweating, loss of libido, depression, anxiety, insomnia and more. Real help that is safe to take would be a huge relief. Meet the ancient herb ashwagandha.
The conventional treatment for menopause is hormone replacement therapy and antidepressants. Given the potential side effects of these powerful drugs, that’s a lot to ask for a totally normal change.
Nature offers a number of herbs that provide significant relief without the potential side effects. One of them is the ancient Ayurvedic herb ashwagandha.
This new 56 day, double-blind study compared 300mg of ashwagandha root extract taken twice a day with a placebo in 60 healthy menopausal women.
The primary outcome measured was improvement on the Menopause Rating Scale. And the ashwagandha did not disappoint, significantly outperforming the placebo. While the women on placebo improved only from a score of 30.73 to 30.03, the women on ashwagandha improved remarkably from 31.37 to 18.53. Ashwagandha produced significant improvement on all subscales, including psychological, physical and uroge***al.
Estradiol and progesterone went up, while follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone went down in the herb group; luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone went up in the placebo group. While hot flashes did not significantly improve in either group, they improved significantly and consistently more in the ashwagandha group.
The 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) is used to measure quality of life related to health. It improved significantly more in the ashwagandha group. There was also significantly greater improvement on the Perceived Stress Scale.
The ashwagandha was remarkably safe: the only adverse event was one woman reporting cough and cold. None of the adverse events were associated with the treatment.
This study suggests that ashwagandha safely improves multiple symptoms of menopause.

Diet Lowers Risk of Kidney Disease
Chronic kidney disease affects a remarkable 10% of adults globally. Emerging evidence is pointing to diet as a key way to reduce your risk. This new study adds to that evidence.
This study looked included 179,508 people. It wanted to see if adhering to the EAT-Lancet diet would affect the risk of chronic kidney disease.
The EAT-Lancet diet emphasizes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts and unsaturated fats; it is low in seafood and poultry and includes little to no red meat, processed meat, refined grains and sugar. The plant-based diet has been shown to be associated with lower risk of diabetes, cancer and premature morality.
The study found that people who more closely follow the EAT-Lancet diet had a lower rate of chronic kidney disease. The plant-based diet reduced the risk by 18%.
This large study shows that the EAT-Lancet diet, with its emphasis on healthy plant-based foods, significantly lowers the risk of chronic kidney disease.

Stress, Anxiety & Depression: Mushrooms Might Be Your Mind’s Best Friend
Way too many people struggle with anxiety, stress, depression and insomnia that can lead to illness and diminish quality of life. This new study shows that a blend of powerful traditional medicinal mushrooms can help.
Around the world, rates of stress, fatigue and poor sleep are just continuing to go up. As many as 28% of people may be depressed, 26.9% may be anxious, 36.5% may be stressed and 27.6% may have trouble getting a good night’s sleep.
A number of powerful medicinal mushrooms have shown an ability to alleviate stress, depression, anxiety and insomnia. This new study put five of those mushrooms together to see what effect they might have.
50 people with at least 3 stress related symptoms were included in the double-blind study. They all had moderate to severe levels of stress and fatigue. Half were given a placebo; half were given a combination of mushrooms. The mushroom supplement was a blend of shiitake, maitake, reishi, lion’s mane and cordyceps. The dose was 1g a day with food for 12 weeks. The mushroom supplement was standardized for at least 30% β‐glucan and at least 30% total polysaccharides.
At the end of the 12 week study, the Hamilton Anxiety Scale showed a 33.5% improvement in anxiety in the mushroom group compared to a significantly less 13.1% in the placebo group. The Beck Depression Inventory showed that depression improved by 16.8% in the mushroom group while worsening by 4.1% on placebo. According to the Perceived Stress Scale, stress went down by 10.1% on placebo, but by a significantly greater 17.8% on the mushrooms. Already by week 6, the mushrooms were significantly better for anxiety, depression and stress than the placebo.
The primary objective of the study was to see what effect the mushrooms would have on stress reduction as measured by changes in cortisol levels. While cortisol went down by 0.8% in the placebo group, it went down by a significantly greater 5.5% in the mushroom group.
When faced with stress, the pituitary hormone ACTH triggers the production of cortisol. While ACTH levels went down by 0.2% in the placebo group, they went down by a significantly greater 8.1% in the mushroom group.
But that’s not all. The mushrooms improved physical fatigue by 9.2% versus a significantly less impressive 2.1% in the placebo group. When it came to markers of fatigue, the mushrooms were significantly better than the placebo for improving norepinephrine and C‐reactive protein.
When it came to sleep, overall sleep quality worsened slightly in the placebo group by 0.4%, but it improved by a significantly greater 6.4% in the mushroom group.
The mushrooms gave all this benefit with no risk. All safety parameters, including liver function, kidney function, hematological indices, electrolyte levels, and blood glucose levels remained normal on the mushrooms.
This study shows that “the mushroom blend offers a natural and effective intervention for managing stress‐related health issues,” including stress, anxiety, depression, fatigue and insomnia.

Curcumin Helps Lower Cholesterol
Cholesterol problems are an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Several studies have suggested that curcumin can help fight cholesterol. This new meta-analysis put the data on curcumin to the test.
This new meta-analysis gathered research that was published up until August 2025. In all, 16 controlled studies of 1038 people were included. The curcumin was combined with piperine to improve absorption.
The pooled results showed that curcumin significantly reduced triglycerides and total cholesterol. The reduction in the heart harmful LDL-cholesterol was not significant, but the even more important increase in the heart healthy HDL cholesterol was.
The researchers concluded that the benefits of curcumin are clinically meaningful. The benefits are greatest for people with cholesterol problems, metabolic disorders or who are overweight. They also say it works best with prolonged supplementation.
