Anthocleista djalonensis
Anthocleista djalonensis and Anthocleista vogelii
Ecclesiastes 3:1 "There is a time and a purpose for everything under the heavens."
Nicknames: “Ewe Shapo”(in SW Nigeria)[1] The vogelii strain is commonly referred to as "Murderer's Mat", according to Wikipedia.[?]
Related strains: A. vogelii[6] Both have been studied to determine which is more potent, and the results indicate that A. djalonensis is the more potent of the two varieties.[8]
Ethnobotany: Ethnobotany is the study of the cultural use of plants, which generally focuses on the religious or spiritual context of use. Something I discovered over many years of having an interest in ethnobotany, is that it is literally the study of the various fruits of the trees of the knowledge, from the book of Genesis. I'm not the only one who believes this, and two famous scholars subscribe to this theory as well.. They're the Mckenna brothers.[9]
Plant Family: Gentianaceae;[7] Genus: Anthocleista;[7] Species: A. djalonensis;[7]
Natural Habitat: Yoruba people of South west Nigeria[1]
Mixes well with: I love and enjoy learning about how certain herbal medicines synergize and mix well with others. It's something I have learned through experimentation, reading, and just learning about all of the pharmacology behind each different plant. The art of mixing plants together for their medicinal effects dates way back to the earliest times that human beings walked this earth. I would love to learn about how the ancient Jews used herbs. I for sure believe that the occult has stolen medicine away from Gods people, and is actively feeding the church pharmakeia(poisons). The root of Anthocleista djalonensis is also macerated in combination with three other plants (Crematogaster pilosa, Securida calondepedunculata and Nauclea latifolia) and one teaspoon is taken three times daily to treat hypertension in Nigeria[1] Another traditional recipe used in Nigeria was: "to prepare a cold infusion of the stem bark of Anthocleista djalonensis with 8 other plants is prepared and two tablespoons is taken daily for the treatment of Asthma in Nigeria"[1] Other herbs for treating asthma include: Mullein, and peppermint.
OG Observations: It seems that most of the medicinal plants used in Africa are trees. It even states this in a source that I cite on the subject, where they took 211 medicinal plants used for skin conditions, and studied them.[5] This would be the perfect candidate as an ingredient in DIY homemade skin care products. I love the idea of female entrepaneurs making really high quality soaps and other related items out of botanicals. There's a lot of babes on ETSY that do that sorta thing, and I highly suggest you buy your soap from them instead of fortune-500 sources. A lot of them even have their own stand-alone .com shop as well. There is an INSANE amount of scientific research that's been conducted on Anthocleista djalonensis in the phytochemsitry lab. I am baffled that it isn't as well known in the United States, given the vast amount of scientific data we have on it. I hope to see this pop up in shops across the US, and to help network entrepaneurs as well, with this project.

Phytochemicals:
Some of the compounds isolated are phthalide and xanthones sweroside, djalonenoside, lichex-anthone, stigmasterol, 3-oxo-Δ4′5-sitosterone, sitosterol, ursolicacid, djalonensin and D-(þ)-bornesitol.[1] The root bark of Anthocleista djalonensis produces and contains irlbacholine[1] The plant also produces: triterpenes, a monoterpene-diol djalonenol, a dibenzo-pyrone djalonensone, an iridoid glycoside sweroside (djalonenoside), as well as amplexine and axanthone lichexanthone. The stem bark also test positive for phthalide and djalonensin.[1] As far as the essential oils goes, sesquiterpene compounds were identified as the main components of the oil.[1] The main compounds are α-humulene, β- caryophyllene, humulene epoxide II and caryophyllene oxide.[1] A monoterpenediol, djalonenol was also isolated.[1] Each one of these complex phytochemicals, has a wide range of pharmacological activity. That makes each herbal remedy, an entire pharmacy, and not just one medicine. Herbal supplements have a large number of medical applications, not just one.What is Phytochemistry? What are Phytochemicals?
Phytochemistry is related to pharmacology, pharmacognosy, and ethnobotany. It is the study of the pharmacological phytochemicals that plants produce. It's these medicinal components of plants that give them their healing potential. Despite what a lot of folks think, there's insane amounts of scientific research into what makes herbal supplements work. Modern medicine woulnd't exist without this field of study. For the record, plants and the phytochemicals that they produce, are way better medicine than any pharmaceutical.Pharmacological / Medicinal Properties:
Anti-diabetic;[6] Anti-oxidant;[6] In SouthWest Nigeria, it is an aphrodisiac used to boost libido, induce erection, increase sperm count and consequently male fertility.[1] According to one of my best scholarly sources: "Ethno-medical uses of the, leaf, root and stem bark extracts include treatment of wound, constipation, diarrhoea, dysentery, abdominal pain, hepatitis, jaundice, cirrhosis, fungal skin infection, filarial worm infections, acute inflammation and boils on skin, anti-diabetes, antimalarial, anti-pyretic, anthelmintic, antimycobacterial, and anti-bacterial properties. "[1] In Africa Anthocleista djalonensis is used by herbal practitioners in the treatment of diseases like Diabetes, Obesity, Hypertension, Constipation (as laxative), Impotence, Fertility problems, Hyperprolactinemia, Sexual dysfunction, Malaria, Worms, STDs (Gonorrhea, Syphilis), Fever(as antipyretic), Rheumatism, Bronchitis, Typhoid Fever, Hemorrhoids, Hernia and Cancer.[2] This particular ethnobotanical has so many medicinal applications that I am baffled at its lack of popularity in the west today. I hope to change that with this project! A decoction is made from the roots ( a tea is made by boiling the roots ) to treat constipation, to regulate menstruation ( and as an abortifacient ).[1] It can be used in DIY soap and bath products, and or as a vapour to treat leprosy, venereal diseases, oedema and scrotal elephantiasis.[1] The root has also been used to treat intestinal problems, acute inflammations, and skin boils.[1] The plant possesses anti-inflammatory properties, and helps fight free radical scavengers that attack the body.[1] The plant is a source of secondary metabolites which are anti-fungal.[1] A lot of God-haters try to downplay the effectiveness of these natural treatments, but the scientist theirselves will tell you they're miraculous. One academic source concludes: "The hypoglycemic effect of the leaves, stem bark and roots of Anthocleista djalonensis has been scientifically proven by in vitro and in vivo studies"[1] Scientific studies into the pharmacology of the miraculous constituents that these ethnobotanicals produce, reveals with it, the most disappointing news to herbal medicines biggest haters, and that news is that they really do work, and really do possess astounding medicinal properties. Scientific research also indicates that: All parts of the plant, including the leaves, stem barks, and root produce α-amylase inhibitory activity at 1mL of 250mg/mL concentration of their aqueous methanol extracts"[1] What does this mean pharmacologically speaking? "Inhibition of α-amylase, enzyme that plays a role in digestion of starch and glycogen, is considered a strategy for the treatment of disorders in carbohydrate uptake, such as diabetes and obesity, as well as, dental caries and periodontal diseases."[4] Not only are these herbal remedies backed by science, but the enemy has established a means of policing this truth, and is actively using various methods fo download the true nature of medicine. Anthocleista djalonensis also demonstrates antiplasmodial properties.[1] "The different plant parts at doses ranging from 50-3000mg/kg have all revealed in vivo antiplasmodial activities against Plasmodium falciparum or Plasmodium berghei in a dose dependent manner"[1] In Nigeria and Togo, the leaf, bark and root of this species as well as Anthocleista vogelii are both used to treat hypertension.[1]Irlbacholine: Irlbacholine, isolated from Anthocleista djalonensis, revealed potent in vitro activity against three pathogenic fungi: C. albicans, C. neoformans, and A. fumigatus
[1] I've read insane amounts of information from scholarly sources on plant phytochemicals and their miraculous effects on fighting various harmful bacterial, pathogens, fungi, and other poisonsous and or harmful predators to the human body. I hope you have stocked up for the next plandemic, and are actively growing your own non-gmo medicine. The end is near and God gave us every seed bearing herb. The occult doesn't want you to have it though, they want it all to theirselves.One academic source states that "The in vitro anti-helmintic activity of the ethanol extract of Anthocleista djalonensis was studied against larvae of Heligmosomoides polygyrus (roundworm) at 25, 50, 100 and 200mg/mL concentrations (Nweze and Ngongeh, 2007). The extract had a concentration-dependent lethal action on H. polygyrus larvae. At a concentration of 100mg/mL, the extract recorded 98.45% mortality which was equivalent to that of levamisole (the positive control) at 10mg/mL. This is indicative of the validity of its use traditionally against worms and other internal parasites in the body.[1] An herb called Wormwood also has this effect, and has been used for centuries in the treatment against worms, both internal and external. It works in the garden as well. Anthocleista djalonensis can also be used as a natural means for dealing with worms in the garden as well, and would mix well with Wormwood for this purpose. The scholars agree!
Diabetes: According to a source from the University of Ibadan, "Diabetes a major degenerative disease of global concern accounts for about 3.2 million deaths annually."[6] When we consider the vast number of herbal remedies that exist which have been scientifically proven to exhibit anti-diabetic effects, and combine that with a little research into how insulin and diabetes works, we can help ourselves to live better lives. Prevention is key, and understanding how these things work can help us to prevent, and even reverse them. Every meal you eat has pharmacological properties, so learn how to use what you put into your body as such. At any rate, two strains of Anthocleista have been traditionally used in Nigeria and other parts of Africa to treat diabetes, and those two strains include: Anthocleista djalonensis and Anthocleista vogelii[6]
