Chaparral

Chaparral (Larrea tridentata) tea is a traditional Native American treatment for cramping pains, joint pains, and allergic problems.Modern research has revealed that Chapparal’s nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) has potent anti-inflammatory activity, possibly due to its ability to block the actions of the enzyme lipoxygenase. This enzyme creates pro-inflammatory chemicals known as prostaglandins; by blocking this process chaparral may be helpful for inflammatory conditions. At high amounts NDGA also inhibits cyclooxygenase, an enzyme similar to lipoxygenase. Chaparral also contains antioxidant flavonoids and has demonstrated anti-amoeba activity in test tubes.
