Ginseng Root, Red - App. 32/Catty (Panax Ginseng Root; Ren Shen - Kirin) Whole: 1 lb: V
Used as a tea, decoction, extract, tincture, food additive and supplement. Chinese Ren Shen, 'root of heaven,' Panax ginseng, Asian ginseng, is native to Manchuria and Korea and is cultivated in China, Korea and Japan. The ginseng plant requires 5-7 years to mature from seed. Ginseng has a sweetly aromatic flavour. Its root has long been regarded by the Chinese as a panacea for illness, though it was usually used by them in a prophylactic (preventive) rather than a curative manner. Many Native American tribes used American ginseng, Panax quinquefolia. Medicinal uses ranged from digestive disorders to sexual problems. The Chinese began to use American ginseng after it was imported during the 1700s. The traditional applications in China are somewhat different from those for Panax ginseng (Asian ginseng), American ginseng being considered a better stomachic. The type and ratio of ginsenosides are somewhat different in American and Asian ginseng, but not radically different. Pharmacologically, ginseng is nonspecific in its effects and is capable of a normalizing action irrespective of the pathological situation. Ginseng's ginsenosides are believed to increase energy, counter the effects of stress, and enhance intellectual and physical performance. Thirteen ginsenosides have been identified in Asian ginseng. Ginsenosides Rgl and Rbl have received the most attention. Other constituents include the panaxans, which help lower blood sugar, and the polysaccharides (complex sugar molecules), which support immune function. Numerous double-blind studies have confirmed Chinese tradition, objectively demonstrating Asian ginseng's ability to lower blood sugar, reduce fatigue and stress, and support the normal function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, the hormonal stress system of the body. Ginseng's support of the brain's production of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) appears to improve mental performance, learning, and memory and sensory awareness, exactly as Chinese tradition has always maintained. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs, reflecting the opinion of modern scientific herbalism, recommends Ginseng root [Panax ginseng] 'As tonic for invigoration and fortification in times of fatigue and debility, for declining capacity for work and concentration, also during convalescence.' 'Daily dosage: 1 - 2 g of root; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Cut root for teas, powder and galenical preparations for internal use. Duration of Administration: Generally up to 3 months. A repeated course is feasible.' 'Action: In various stress models, e.g., an immobilization test and the coldness test, the resistance of laboratory test animals (rodents) was increased.' Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'In China, both varieties [Asian Panax ginseng & American Panax quinquefolia] are used particularly for dyspepsia, vomiting and nervous di |

Ginkgo Leaf (Premium Grade) 24% Flavonglycosides\6% Triterpenes Powdered Extract (Ginkgo biloba; Bai Guo Ye) 5 kg (11 lbs): Q
Can be used as an infusion, decoction, extract, tincture, food additive and supplement. Medicinal use of Ginkgo leaf tea is ancient in Chinese herbal medicine. It helps clear the mind and improve the power of concentration. Modern clinical trials have demonstrated the usefulness of ginkgo in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, age-related cognitive decline and depression. Ginkgo's flavone glycosides and terpene lactones do indeed increase circulation to the brain and other parts of the body as well as exerting a protective action on nerve cells. The unique terpene lactone components found in ginkgo are known as ginkgolides and bilobalide. Ginkgolides apparently improve circulation and inhibit platelet-activating factor. Bilobalide protects the cells of the nervous system. Recent animal studies indicate that bilobalide may help regenerate damaged nerve cells. One double blind study found that ginkgo could help people with macular degeneration, an oxidation-related disorder causing decreased or lost vision. Ginkgo’s antioxidant activity in the brain and central nervous system may help prevent age-related declines in brain function. The brain and central nervous system are particularly susceptible to free radical attack. Free radical damage, that is, oxidation damage, in the brain is widely accepted as being a contributing factor in many disorders associated with aging, including Alzheimer’s disease. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends a dry extract from the dried leaf of Ginkgo biloba for '(a) symptomatic treatment of disturbed performance in organic brain syndrome within the regimen of a therapeutic concept in cases of demential syndromes with the following principal symptoms: Memory deficits, disturbances in concentration, depressive emotional condition, dizziness, tinnitus, and headache.' '(b) Improvement of pain-free walking distance in peripheral arterial occlusive disease in Stage II of Fontaine (intermittent claudication) in a regimen of physical therapeutic measures, in particular walking exercise. (c) Vertigo and tinnitus (ringing in the ear) of vascular and involutional origin.' 'The following pharmacological effects have been established experimentally: Improvement of hypoxic tolerance, particularly in the cerebral tissue. Inhibition of the development of traumatically or toxically induced cerebral edema, and acceleration of its regression. Reduction of retinal edema and of cellular lesions in the retina. Inhibition in age-related reduction of muscarinergic cholinoceptors and 2-adrenoceptors as well as stimulation of choline uptake in the hippocampus. Increased memory performance and learning capacity. Improvement in the compensation of disturbed equilibrium. Improvement of blood flow, particularly in the region of microcirculation. Improvement of the rheological properties of the blood. Inactivation of toxi |

Maca Root 0.6% Glycosinolides Powdered Extract (Lepidium meyenii) 25 kg (55 lbs): Q
Maca has been called nature's gift to the bedroom - energy and sexual function rolled into one delicious root - you will feel an immediate effect. Maca is a legendary aphrodisiac, impotence remedy and nutrative food-tonic. Our Maca makes a delicious, full-bodied tea. It comes in a loose powder form, and has always been used as a substitute for flour – great in cookie and brownie recipes. It's also delicious as an additive in milk shakes and fruit smoothies. Naturally, it can also be encapsulated. The outstanding benefits include increased energy, enhanced stamina, mental clarity, increased athletic endurance and hormonal balancing. It helps with male and female impotence difficulties, erectile dysfunction, menopause, perimenopause and menstrual symptoms, and it exhibits powerful aphrodisiacal effects. The fertility powers of maca are prized by couples in the Peruvian highlands, where this high-altitude root crop has been used for these purposes for more than 3,000 years. Men and women who fail to conceive a child eat maca on a regular basis until conception occurs. The sweet root contains substantial amounts of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, vitamin B1, B2, B12, C, E, riboflavin, thiamin and ascorbic acid. In 1961, Dr. Gloria Chacon de Popovici, a biologist in Lima, Peru, published her studies when her research scientifically demonstrated the increased fertility in animals using maca. A chemical analysis shows the presence of biologically active aromatics which have unique aphrodisiac properties. Analysis of maca properties indicates that the effects on fertility are a direct result of glucosinolates found in maca. Dr. Chacon discovered the four alkaloids present in maca that are responsible for maca's reputed positive effect on hormonal balancing issues such as hot flashes, memory problems, fatigue, mood swings and male impotence. Women with menstrual irregularities have experienced greater consistency, while women with hot flashes, mood swings and most associated perimenopause and menopause symptoms have diminished dramatically. Men have had substantial improvement with impotence, fatigue, erection stamina and an over all improved general life out look. It's richness in sterols makes it an alternative for anabolic steroids for body builders. Maca is, incredibly, the world's highest altitude food crop. Maca has an exceptionally high food value, the highest of any crop grown by the native Andeans. Its nutritive value resembles that of other cereal grains such as maize, rice and wheat. It has 59% carbohydrates, 10.2% protein, 8.5% fiber and 2.2% lipids. It contains at least five times more protein, four times more fiber and less fat than a potato. It contains two of the three (Linoleic and Oleic) essential fatty acids, 18 amino acids, including seven of the nine essential amino acids. It has a variety of vitamins and minerals, and per U.S. Percentage of Daily Value, is high in copp |

Eleuthero Root Cut & Sifted Cert. Organic 1 lb: C
This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Used as a tea, decoction, extract, capsule or food additive. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Eleuthero root 'As tonic for invigoration and fortification in times of fatigue and debility or declining capacity for work and concentration, also during convalescence. Contraindications: High blood pressure.' 'Daily dosage: 2 - 3 g of root; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Powdered or cut root for teas, as well as aqueous-alcoholic extracts for internal use. Duration of Administration: Generally up to 3 months. A repeated course is feasible.' 'Actions: In various stress models, e.g., immobilization test and coldness test, the endurance of rodents was enhanced. With healthy volunteers, the lymphocyte count, especially that of T-lymphocytes, increased following intake of fluidextracts.' 'Siberian ginseng' is actually not ginseng per se, but has very similar properties and is therefore used in the same way as ginseng. Eleuthero is a proven stress fighter. Taking the herb has been shown to boost the body's capacity to handle stresses ranging from heat exposure to extreme exertion. Eleuthero also has been shown to boost disease resistance and overall energy level. In a remarkable series of Russian studies in the 1960s, 2,100 healthy adults, ages 19 to 72, given Eleuthero, increased their ability to perform physical labor, withstand motion sickness, and work with speed and precision despite being surrounded by noise. They could also proofread documents more accurately than those who had not been given Eleuthero, and more readily adapted heat, high altitudes, and low-oxygen environments. Eleuthero's eleutherosides and complex polysaccharides (complex sugar molecules) function as an adaptogen. Eleuthero optimizes the adrenal secretion of stress-fighting hormones. Eleuthero has been shown to enhance mental acuity and physical endurance without the letdown that comes with caffeinated products. There is little doubt that Eleuthero can heighten mental alertness and improve concentration. It may be helpful in the early stages of Alzheimer's. Eleuthero has been shown to improve the muscular use of oxygen, enabling longer aerobic exercise and quicker recovery. It can relieve chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. Chinese herbal tradition has Eleuthero as a defense against colds and flu. A recent Russian study of 13,000 auto workers given Eleuthero one winter showed that participants developed 40% fewer respiratory tract infections than they had in previous winters. Eleuthero also helps the liver detoxify harmful toxins. Animal studies have shown hepatoprotective action against chemotherapeutic agents, ethanol, sodium barbital, and tetanus toxoid. Russia studies have confirmed that the use of eleuthero for people undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy for cancer a |

Bee Propolis 5:1 Powdered Concentrate 10 kg (22 lbs): Q
Used as a food supplement, skin medicine and skin cream ingredient. A favorite smoothie additive. Propolis, or ''bee glue,'' is a well known substance that beekeepers find in their hives. Hippocrates presented the use of propolis to help heal sores. Propolis according to research has shown to be effective against a variety of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and molds. It has been shown to be a non-specific immunostimulant. The Greeks also made perfume called polyanthos using propolis and other herbs. Propolis was used as a varnish for gold and even the famous Stradivarius violins. The people of Mongolia and Siberia used propolis to varnish the bottoms of their sleds. An anti-rust mixture was used by blacksmiths. Many beauty creams, hair preparations and massage oils contain propolis. http://www.recipegoldmine.com/beautyskin/skin125.html Lemon Balm Skin Cream This will tighten and smooth normal and combination skin. 3 tablespoons dried lemon balm leaves ½ cup boiling water ½ ounce beeswax 2 ounces lanolin ½ cup wheat germ oil 1 teaspoon propolis powder (bee glue) Pour boiling water over lemon balm leaves in a clean bowl. Steep for 10 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve, collecting liquid in a clean bowl. Allow to cool; discard lemon balm leaves. Melt beeswax and lanolin in a heatproof glass set in simmering water. Stir in wheat germ oil. Add herbal infusion by teaspoonful and stir until well blended. Remove glass from water. Add propolis powder to tepid cream and carefully stir it in until blended. Let cream cool completely. Stir cream thoroughly and transfer it to clean containers with tight-fitting lids. Store up to 3 months. Yields 10 ounces. http://www.xs4all.nl/~jtemp/propolismail.html ''We use propolis tincture at our house. We believe and have experienced evidence of its abilities in calming an upset stomach when taken with a mint tea. (recipe to follow) to lowering and removing a fever, and inducing a relaxed feeling that promoted sleep. We take it in tea if we feel we are catching a cold or flu. We use it as a topical dressing on small wounds much like the medical experts use iodine. It has an effect on skin problems from fungus (it does not cure the fungus, but stops the itching) to fever blisters. Basically it does everything Echinacia does without Echinacia's side effects and allergies associated with that herbal remedy. We have never experienced any side effects from propolis tincture. We take propolis internally as follows: To a mug of boiling water add an infusion of mint. It can be a mint tea bag. ... to the tea add the juice from ½ of a small lemon, and sweeten to taste with lots of honey. Now add a ½ teaspoon (5 cc.) of the 1:2 propolis tincture to the tea and give it a stir. Propolis tincture has a strong ''medicinal'' smell and flavor that may necessitate the use of more honey. To use the propolis topically, just dab a ''Q'' tip or cotton swab (puds to you Aussies) in |

(recipe to follow) to lowering and removing a fever, and inducing a relaxed feeling that promoted sleep. We take it in tea if we feel we are catching a cold or flu. We use it as a topical dressing on small wounds much like the medical experts use iodine. It has an effect on skin problems from fungus (it does not cure the fungus, but stops the itching) to fever blisters. Basically it does everything Echinacia does without Echinacia's side effects and allergies associated with that herbal remedy. We have never experienced any side effects from propolis tincture. We take propolis internally as follows: To a mug of boiling water add an infusion of mint. It can be a mint tea bag. ... to the tea add the juice from ½ of a small lemon, and sweeten to taste with lots of honey. Now add a ½ teaspoon (5 cc.) of the 1:2 propolis tincture to the tea and give it a stir. Propolis tincture has a strong ''medicinal'' smell and flavor that may necessitate the use of more honey. To use the propolis topically, just dab a ''Q'' tip or cotton swab (puds to you Aussies) in |

Suma Root 4:1 Powdered Extract (Pfaffia paniculata) 25 kg (55 lbs): Q
Used as a tea, decoction and food supplement. Suma has long been used 'for all things' in Brazil – and is, in fact, called 'Brazilian Ginseng.' It has been used as a general tonic, a rejuvenant for convalescents and an aphrodisiac. Russian Olympic athletes claim that Suma is a muscle and endurance builder without the negative side effects of steroids. Much of Suma's chemistry is unique – it appears to enhance the body's use of oxygen on the cellular level. Suma's saponins have been clinically demonstrated to inhibit cancer cell growth and to help regulate blood sugar levels. Two Japanese patents for Suma pfaffosides and pfaffic acid derivatives as antitumor agents have been granted. A 1995 U.S. Patent application demonstrated increased hemoglobin levels during sickle cell treatment. Numerous other Suma-based patents have been filed in both France, Japan, Russia and the USA relating to Suma's anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and aphrodisiac effects. |

Velvet Bean 20% L-DOPA Powdered Extract (Kapi Kacchu; Mucuna pruriens) 10 kg (22 lbs): Q
Mucuna pruriens, commonly known as velvet bean or cowitch, is used as a minor food crop and medicinal bean in India, West Africa, and Central America. Toasted ground seeds are used as a coffee substitute. It is regarded as anodyne, antidotal, diuretic, nervine, psychedelic, and powerfully aphrodisiac. It is used as a tea, a strong decoction and a smoke. According to Ayurveda, this herb is a powerful nervine tonic and aphrodisiac, applicable to the treatment of disorders of the male or female reproductive tract, and the spasms associated with Parkinson's or Bell's Palsy. A clinical study confirmed the efficacy of the seeds in the management of Parkinson's disease by virtue of their L-Dopa content, the precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine.(1) Mucuna pruriens, recognized as an aphrodisiac in Ayurveda, has been shown to increase testosterone levels (2), leading to deposition of protein in the muscles and increased muscle mass and strength(3). It is also known to enhance mental alertness and improve coordination(4). Isolated chemicals include bufotenine and DMT. 1. Manyam, B.V., et. al. (1995) J. of Alternative and Comp. Med., 1 (3) 249-255. 2. Amin, K.M.Y. (1996) Fitoterapia, 67:53-58. 3. Bhasin, S., et. al. (1996) New England J. of Med., 335, 1-7. 4. Singh, R.H. et al. (1989) J. Res. Ayur. Siddha, 1(1):1-6. In 1937, 31 years after levodopa was synthesized in Switzerland, Indian scientists isolated levodopa from Mucuna pruriens beans. At the time, the importance of levodopa was unappreciated in India and the West. In 1967, following the establishment of the role of levodopa in Parkinson disease, a screening of 1000 species of 135 plant families revealed that only plants from the Mucuna family contained sufficient levodopa to consider commercial development. Recently Dr. Bela Manyam, Professor of Neurology at the Scott & White Clinic, Temple Texas, part of the Texas A & M Medical School, a National Parkinson Foundation Center of Excellence, treated Parkinson patients with a powder made from the whole bean of Mucuna pruriens. Mucuna pruriens is a legume, and as a legume it's a rich source of tocopherol, or Vitamin 'E.' Vitamin 'E' has a variety of beneficial effects. Because of its bulk, Mucuna pruriens acts as a laxative, aiding digestion and counter-acting, in part, the constipation associated with Parkinson disease. Finally, Mucuna pruriens, like other plant extracts, may contain other, as yet unidentified anti-Parkinson drugs. Dr. Manyam and associates prepared a formulation of Mucuna pruriens and studied it in Parkinson disease. http://leda.lycaeum.org/Trips/Mucuna_pruriens.5427.shtml 'I am experienced with this substance so I should have been prepared!
