Other common names: American Sloe, Cramp Bark, Stag Brush, High Bush Cranberry, Snowball Bush, High Cranberry, Rose Elder, Nannybush, Silver Bells ''What is sweeter, after all, than Black Haws, in early fall?'' - James Whitcomb Riley (1849-1916) Black Haw Bark is an old and reliable uterine tonic! The herb has been used to relieve cramps of all kinds, including menstrual pains, and relaxes muscles and eases spasms and pains of the lower back and legs. Black Haw Bark is also said to support uterine function, help regulate excessive blood flow during menstruation and menopause and ease postpartum, uterine and ovarian pain. Black Haw Bark is also mildly sedative and helps to relieve many nervous conditions. History: Black Haw is one of about 150 species of evergreen and deciduous viburnums, including shrubs and bushy trees, and it is said to be native to North America, particularly southern Canada and northeastern United States, where it may be found on rocky hillsides, in thickets, woods and on shores and borders of streams. The tree may also be found growing in the thickets and hedgerows of England and northern Europe. Black Haw is a hardy, deciduous ornamental that resembles the elder tree, growing to a height of thirty feet and producing shiny, green leaves, topped with heads of snow-white flowers and drooping clusters of blue-black berries. The prunifolium species produces a larger-fruited berry than its relative, Vibernum opulus (also called Cramp Bark), and it was used in colonial days as a delicious preserve (always cooked, as the berries can be poisonous). Although its applications are similar in nature, the prunifolium species (Black Haw) is considered slightly weaker in its antispasmodic actions on the uterus than its V. opulus cousin. Black Haw thrives in deep, moist soil in sun or partial shade, and the bark is stripped before the leaves change color in autumn or before the leaf buds open in the springtime and dried for use in herbal medicine. It is sometimes also called Cramp Bark and shares many of its cousin's common names because it is so closely related to it and has similar m |

Other common names: Issopo, Ysop ''Purge me with Hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow'' - Psalms 51:7 Used since Biblical times as a cathartic, Hyssop is still used to cleanse and detoxify the intestinal tract. When feeling overworked or stressed, try Hyssop to relieve anxiety, soothe the nerves and enhance mental clarity. It's also a time-honored herb that has been used to relieve many respiratory ailments. History: Hyssop is an evergreen, bushy herb that grows to a height of two feet. Native to Southern Europe, Asia Minor and the Mediterranean region, it has been introduced into the warmer parts of the United States. Hyssop was mentioned in The Bible as a purifying herb, and the hyssopos of Dioscorides has been used almost continuously as a cathartic to cleanse the body. Its name is said to be derived from the Greek, azob, and Hebrew, ezob, meaning ''holy herb,'' because it was used for cleaning and purifying temples and sacred places. The ancient Greek physicians, Hippocrates and Galen, recommended Hyssop for inflammations of the chest and throat, pleurisy and bronchitis; and although too pungent for modern tastes, Pliny wrote in the first century A.D., that the Romans enjoyed its flavor and made an herbal wine from it called hyssopites. Medieval monks spiced soups and sauces with it, and the Benedictine monks of the tenth century brought the herb into central Europe to flavor liqueurs (Benedictine and Chartreuse). Herbalists in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries prescribed Hyssop for bad coughs, and its strong camphor-like odor made it popular as a cleansing herb. In the seventeenth century, it was used as a ''strewing herb'' in sick rooms to add fragrance to the air and deter plague and infection. Strewn about the house, the highly aromatic herb not only improved the air, but it also kept away insects and vermin. So powerful is the scent of Hyssop that elderly women in Europe were said to press its flowers in their prayer books to keep themselves from falling asleep during church services. Mainly used to cleanse the system and for respirat |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Stinging Nettle, Common Nettle, Devil's Leaf, Great Stinging Nettle, Net Plant, Dwarf Nettle ''Tender-handed grasp the nettle And it stings you for your pains. Grasp it like a man of mettle And it soft as silk remains.'' Mineral- and vitamin-rich Nettle is a naturally nutritious way to help maintain a healthy urinary tract and flush toxins from your system. It is said to uplift a weary body, reduce fatigue and also improve thyroid, kidney and bladder functions. Nettle is also considered an age-old remedy for allergies and respiratory problems. History: Nettle is a fibrous plant, native to Eurasia, but distributed throughout the temperate regions of the world. It grows as a weed on roadsides and in waste places and thrives in moist, nitrogen-rich soil in sun or dappled shade. Nettle is a perennial herb with erect stems that may reach seven feet in height with coarse-toothed leaves that are covered with severely stinging bristles. Its botanical name, Urtica, is derived from the Latin, urere, meaning ''to burn,'' referring to the plant's stinging hairs; and the common name, Nettle, is derived from its Anglo-Saxon and Dutch equivalent, netel or noedl, meaning ''needle,'' possibly referring to the sharp sting of the leaves or its use in cloth making. Although Nettle is widely recognized as a stinging weed that produces a burning rash when touched, it deserves greater appreciation for its nutritive and medicinal uses. It was once widely drunk as a nutritious spring tonic (the boiling process removes the sting), as it is rich in protein, iron and vitamins. Its use may be traced back to the Bronze Age when it was greatly valued in Scotland and Ireland for its fibers that were made into a durable cloth, a use that continued into the twentieth century. In the second and third centuries B.C., Nettle was prescribed for hemlock and henbane poisoning and as a cure for snakebite and scorpion sting. The legions of Julius Caesar were said to have introduced Nettles to Britain, thinking they would need it to flog and rub their limbs to keep warm in the colder climate of the north; an |
