Bee Propolis 5:1 Powdered Concentrate 25 kg (55 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 |

History: Remains of Alfalfa more than six thousand years old were discovered in Persia, with the oldest writings about Alfalfa arising from Turkey about 1300 B.C). The plant is said to have been domesticated near Turkmenistan, Iran, Turkey, the Caucasus regions and other regions in Asia Minor. Alfalfa reached Mediterranean Europe by way of the Greeks, who planted it as early as 490 B.C. Since the Medes of ancient Persia were credited as being the first to cultivate the plant, it was given its botanical name, Medicago sativa, which is translated from Latin, meaning, ''sowed by the Medians.'' The word, Alfalfa, is said to be derived from from Arabic, Persian and Kashmiri words meaning ''best horse fodder'' and ''horse power,'' since Alfalfa was so important to the early Babylonian cultures, Persians, Greeks and Romans because of its importance as fodder for horses used in war. Alfalfa was being cultivated in England by the sixteenth century, where it was used to soothe and strengthen the body, and arrived in the American Colonies by 1736, where it was used mainly to treat upset stomach. Native Americans employed ground Alfalfa seeds to thicken and enrich their diets and ate the leaves as tasty greens. The Eclectics, physicians who used herbal therapies in nineteenth-century America, used Alfalfa as a tonic for indigestion, dyspepsia, anemia, loss of appetite and poor assimilation of nutrients. These physicians also recommended the alfalfa plant to stimulate lactation in nursing mothers, and the seeds were made into a poultice for the treatment of boils and insect bites.

Powder can be consumed by sprinkling it over your food or mixing it with a syrup such as maple or chocolate. You could also mix it with orange juice. The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Picrasma, Bitter Bark, Jamaica Quassia, Quassia, Bitter Ash, Quassia Lignum Bitter Wood is a simple, powerful bitter that is an old-time tonic for the digestive system. It is used in Europe to stimulate the appetite and is also said to soothe gastric upsets, indigestion and acute dyspepsia. Bitter Wood is thought to generally tone up a rundown system, which may also be very helpful to convalescents who are recovering after illness. History: Bitter Wood is a tall, graceful, ashlike tree that is native to tropical America, most notably in the hill forests of Jamaica and Surinam, where it is cultivated as a commercial crop. Bitter Wood is a tender, deciduous perennial that thrives in moist, sandy, humus-rich soil in sun or partial shade. The tree may grow to a height of one hundred feet and requires moderate to high humidity in a minimum of sixty degrees Fahrenheit to succeed. Bitter Wood produces pinnate, coarse-toothed leaves and small, green-white flowers that bloom in late autumn, followed by black, shiny berries, which ripen in the winter. Insect pests never attack the tree, because it is permeated by an extremely bitter resin, whose major chemical constituent is a bitter compound called quassin - an effective natural insecticide. The wood, which is chipped and dried, is used in herbal medicine as an intensely bitter, non-astringent, odorless herb that is fifty times more bitter than quinine and had been used by the native tribes to remedy malaria, dysentery and venereal disease (the quassin content is, in fact, the bitterest substance found in nature). In 1756, Bitter Wood was brought from Surinam to Stockholm by a Swede who had purchased it from a native healer named Quassi, thereby giving the herb another of its names, Quassia, and the drug soon became popular as a digestive tonic and appetite stimulant. In Europe, Bitter Wood is still used as a popular appetite stimulant. The Bitter Wood from Jamaica (Jamaican Quassia) soon superceded the species from Surinam in popularity, but the name often continued. In addition to it use in herbal medicine, Bitter Wood is a very v |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: St. Benedict Thistle, Holy Thistle, Spotted Thistle, Cardo Santo, Kardobenediktenkraut, Chardon Benit, Cnicus benedictus Blessed Thistle is an old and revered ''bitter'' herb that is well known for its use in promoting a healthy gastrointestinal system. It is a fine overall tonic that stimulates good digestion, healthy liver and gallbladder function, and promotes general good health. It is also a natural hormone balancer that supports ''female health.'' History: Blessed Thistle is a native of the Meditteranean region and was first recorded as a medicinal herb in the first century A.D. It is an annual plant that reaches about two feet in height and bears leathery, hairy leaves and yellow flowers in a dense flowerhead. The herb was originally cultivated in monastery gardens and was once regarded with almost supernatural qualities as a ''cure-all.'' In the sixteenth century, Blessed Thistle was widely recommended for plague, and in seventeenth-century England, the esteemed herbalist, Nicholas Culpeper, listed Blessed Thistle as a treatment for headaches, female complaints and for fevers. In North America, the Quinault Indians used the whole plant to create a birth control medicine, and the Zunis used it to treat venereal disease and to lower fever. Today, it is still highly regarded as a valuable supplement to maintain good health, and is used in Europe in the manufacture of ''bitters'' to be taken before meals to stimulate the appetite and help the digestive tract. Some of the constituents in Blessed Thistle include tannins, beta-carotene, essential fatty acids, beta-sitosterol, luteolin, oleanolic acid, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, silicon, zinc, B-vitamins and vitamin C. Beneficial Uses: Blessed Thistle is a very bitter herb that works mainly as a tonic for the gastrointestinal and digestive system. Its ''bitter'' principle stimulates gastric secretions in the stomach and alleviates dyspepsia, indigestion, flatulence and colic. It also acts as an appetite stimulant and may be helpful in treating anorexia, particularl |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Boldu, Boldus, Boldea, Boldine, Baldina, Boldoa Fragrans Boldo is a powerful antiseptic that has been used to treat genito-urinary infections and stimulate the liver to combat liver disease and gallbladder ailments. It is also a fine anti-inflammatory that helps to combat gout, rheumatism and arthritis. History: Boldo is an evergreen shrub that grows in the fields of the Andes, and is indigenous to Chile and Peru, where it thrives in well-drained, sandy, acid soil in full sun. It is also native to parts of Morocco and cultivated in Italy, Brazil and North Africa to meet the demands for its medicinal uses in European and North American markets, where it is widely used. In South America, the yellowish-green fruit is eaten, the bark used for tanning, and the wood utilized in charcoal making. The leaves and bark are used in herbal medicine, and when the leaves are crushed, a peculiar, strong and disagreeable odor is emitted.
