Dr Oz did a segment on the Best Herbs for Your Health. Herbs and spices have many healing properties that can help you to look and feel younger while fighting off deadly diseases. If you are over 40, or even if you are under 40, here are some great herbs for improving your health. 
Dr Oz: Saffron Kills Cancer
Doctor Oz said that saffron comes from the inside of a crocus plant, and it is the “gold standard” for spices. Saffron helps to fight off cancer. Dr Oz explained that cancer cells grow through bringing and building their own blood supply in your body. The saffron can actually enter the cancer cells and send a signal that causes the cancer to “commit suicide.” Dr Oz even said that saffron may be the cure for cancer in the future. Saffron is not a cheap spice, it is around $10 per jar, but you only need a small pinch.
Dr Oz: Horseradish Helps Digestion & Liver Detoxification
Dr Oz said that horseradish is very effecting at helping digestion and liver detoxification. The gall bladder is stimulated to release bile when you eat horseradish, which is one of the reasons that horseradish is such a great alternative to digestive problems. And here I thought that the main health benefit to horseradish was that it cleared my nasal passages!
Dr Oz: Rosemary Fights Allergies & Arthritis
Dr Oz said that a great benefit of rosemary is that it fights off Arthritis and Allergies. Rosemary blocks a chemical that triggers our immune system, therefore your immune system calms down and stops reacting to allergies. Plus, who does not love rosemary bread, rosemary in stuffing, rosemary in chicken… the list goes on and on!

Hi Chrissi and Doris! Unfortunately, I am not a doctor, so I cannot tell you exactly how much saffron you should use for different forms of cancer. Dr Oz mentioned that you just need a pinch of saffron, but I understand that is not terribly helpful. I did a bit of research and found this article published by the Amala Cancer Research Centre in Kerala, India, and in their study they increased the lifespan of mice with certain tumors by using an oral administration of 200 mg/kg body weight of saffron (but this study was done on mice with tumors, so I do not know how to translate this into something applicable to humans). Chrissi, I do know that you can use saffron in other dishes (like rice and chicken), so it does not just have to be taken as a tea.

Jodi – we are not affiliated with Dr Oz, so unfortunately there is no way to contact him through our website. You can try submitting a question to him through his website though.

(not sure if my earlier email got lost in cyberland….).
I watched Dr Oz’s TV show last week where they provided a recipe for rosemary tea.
I have not been able to find that recipe. Would you please send it to me or tell me shere to access the recipe.
Thank you! I love dr oz’s show!
Saffron can be added to rice and makes a wonderful meal. I use a rice cooker, put a cup of rice, a cup or more of water, add chopped onions, some drizzles of olive oil, a little salt and drop in some bay leaves for an amazing dish.
