Uses:
Chaparral is an herbal medicine historically used to treat arthritis, cancer, allergies, stomach pain, skin wounds, and menstrual (period) cramps.

Dose:
Liquid: Shake well. Take 20-40 drops in juice or water before meals, 3 times a day, 6 days a week.

Capsules: Take 1-2 capsules with meals, 3 times a day 6 days a week.

Note:
Consult Health Practitioner if pregnant. Too much dosage produces potential liver damage.

The major lignan in chaparral, known as nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) is a potent antioxidant and was thought by some scientists to be a potential cancer treatment. In a rat study, NDGA and a leaf extract of a South American subspecies of chaparral were found to exert an anti-tumor effect.

However, one report suggests that NDGA may stimulate further growth of tumors in cancer patients. Clinical trials, therefore, are still needed to establish whether chaparral is a safe and effective treatment for people with cancer.
