During World War II, some RAF pilots enjoyed Bilberry preserves on their bread, and it was noted that these men were more successful in hitting their targets. Later research discovered that Bilberry does, in fact, reduce eye irritation, nearsightedness and night-blindness, and it also extends range and clarity of vision. Pregnant women find the herb to be beneficial, as it fortifies veins and capillaries and combats fatigue. History: Bilberry is a shrubby perennial plant that is native to the northern parts of Europe, Asia and North America and may be found in damp, acidic soils throughout the temperate and subarctic regions of the world. The angular, green, branched stem grows from a creeping rootstock to a height of one to two feet, and the leaves are alternate, weakly serrate, dark green and shiny on top and approximately one inch long. The reddish pink or red and white, solitary, auxiliary flowers have a pitcher shaped corolla and appear in May and June. The fruit is usually blue-black; it may be red in some cases, and the berry is five-seeded. Bilberry is similar in appearance and closely related to the American blueberry and huckleberry, but it contains higher quantities of the constituents useful for improved eye health and better circulation. The easiest way to distinguish the Bilberry is that it produces single or pairs of berries on the bush instead of clusters like the blueberry. Another way to distinguish them is that while blueberry fruit meat is light green, Bilberry is red or purple. Bilberries are rarely cultivated but fruits are sometimes collected from wild plants growing on publicly accessible lands, notably in Scandanavian countries, Scotland, Ireland, England and Poland. Its name is derived from the Danish word, bollebar, meaning ''dark berry,'' and its botanical genus,vaccinium, is derived from an ancient Greek word derived from prehistoric Mediterranean languages, referr |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Bramble, Cloudberry, Dewberry, Brambleberry, Fingerberry Blackberry is considered an old-time and reliable remedy for diarrhea and hemorrhage, and its high-astringency has made it very valuable in the treatment of internal and external bleeding, dysentery, hemorrhoids, loose bowels, excessive menstrual flow and excess water. History: Blackberries have been divided into hundreds of species, with two major kinds occurring in both Europe and North America. The European variety grows upright and heavily-thorned with stiff, erect canes that propagate by suckers from the roots. In contrast, the trailing forms of North America (often called dewberries in the South) have slender canes, are much less heavily-thorned, and the tips of the canes, if in contact with the soil, strike root and establish new plants. Both forms thrive in moist, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade and produce black or reddish-black berries with a deep purple, sweet-tasting juice. Fossil evidence shows that the Blackberry has been part of the human diet from very early times, and its dietary and medicinal uses were praised by both Greek and Roman scholars alike, mostly employing Blackberry as a remedy for gout. Since the time of Jesus, Blackberry Leaves have been used in the Middle East to cure bleeding gums and eliminate water from the system. In his Herball or Generall Historie of Plantes of 1597, the surgeon and apothecary, John Gerard, recommended Blackberry Leaf as a valuable astringent (both internally or externally) and treatment for piles, ''looseness of the bowels,'' stone, sore throat, and mouth - the very same uses that have remained valued to this day. In Crusoe's Treasury of Easy Medicines (1771), Blackberry Leaf is included as a remedy for long standing ulcers, and our own mountain people of Kentucky and Georgia used it to treat hemorrhaging, diarrhea, goiter, indigestion and flatulence. Blackberry fruits are eaten raw or cooked and made into syrups, cordials, jams, jellies and wines, and both the berries and leaves are added to herbal teas; the leaf and rootstock are used in herbal medici |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Feverwort, Sweating Plant, Agueweed, Vegetable Antimony, Thoroughwort, Indian Sage, Crosswort, Teasel, Wood Boneset Long before there was aspirin, there was Boneset! In the nineteenth century, Boneset was the standard household remedy in North America for coughs and colds. Today the herb is still considered a valuable treatment for coughs, flu symptoms, bronchitis and upper respiratory congestion. It has also been used to reduce fever and ease the bodily aches and pains accompanying it. History: Boneset is a hardy perennial with long, erect stems and lanceolate leaves and flowers that grow up to five feet in height. This particular species of Eupatoria (perfoliatum) is a native of eastern North America and is a common and familiar plant that grows in low, damp meadows, swampy areas and along stream banks from Nova Scotia to Florida. Boneset was a favorite of the North American tribes who introduced its medicinal benefits to the settlers. The Menominees used Boneset to reduce fever; the Iroquois and Mohegans liked it for fever and colds; the Alabamas believed it eased upset stomachs; and the Creeks used it to relieve body pain. Its use became legendary among both Native Americans and settlers alike for its capacity to cause profuse perspiration, reduce fever, relieve colds and flu, loosen the bowels and treat malaria. Its botanical name, Eupatorium, may be traced to the ancient king, Mithridates Eupator, who first used another species of this genus as a medicine. The plant's common name is derived from its use in treating a kind of influenza prevalent in the United States during the nineteenth century, known as ''break-bone fever,'' which was characterized by pains that felt as if all the bones in the body were broken. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Boneset was said to have no equal as a cough, cold and fever remedy, and in the nineteenth century, it was used extensively in American medical practice. In 1887, Dr. Millspaugh wrote: ''There is probably no plant in American domestic practice that has more extensive or frequent use than this (boneset),'' and it |

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: Umbrella Plant, Langwort, Bog Rhubarb, Flapperdock, Blatterdock, Capdockin, Butter Dock, Bogshorns, Butterbur-Coltsfoot, Sweet Coltsfoot*, Pestilence Wort, Pestilence Weed, Wild Rhubarb, Hat Plant Since Butterbur is no longer needed for ''pestilence,'' modern herbalists still esteem it for the relief of asthma, bronchitis, smoker's cough and other lung ailments. Recent studies show excellent promise for easing migraines and seasonal allergies. History: Butterbur is a large, stout, hardy plant with huge, rhubarb-like leaves and clusters of pinkish, purplish flowers that is native to Europe (with a wide distribution in Britain), north and west Asia, and has been introduced into North America. It is a perennial herb that spreads mainly via an underground creeping rhizome (root) with individual plants functioning either as females or males, and it is typically found growing wild in wet meadows, marshes, floodplains, or beside damp roadsides and waterways in shade. Butterbur is so-called, because its huge leaves, with their downy undersides, were used to wrap butter in the days before refrigeration, and its botanical name, Petasites, is derived from the Greek word, petasos, a type of hat with a wide brim, which is appropriate, since the leaves (which may grow to two feet in width) are used even today as impromptu sunshades or umbrellas (another common name). *Although Butterbur is closely allied to Coltsfoot (sometimes even called by that name), it is a different plant; however, the two plants do have many related constituents and share many applications. Since ancient times, Butterbur has been highly valued as a medicinal plant. In early days, it was used to treat fevers associated with the plague, because, as Gerard noted in 1597, the plant ''provoketh sweat and driveth from the heart all venom and evil[l] heat[e].'' The seventeenth-century herbalist, Nicholas Culpepper, recommended it as a ''strengthener of the heart,'' as well as a treatment for shortness of breath and removal of spots on the skin. Other historic remedies included treatments for removing small kidney stones (gravel) |

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: Catmint, Field Balm, Catswort, Catnep, Catstrup Stressed-out, anxious, tense and sleepless people have often tried Catnip as a mild sedative that helps them to relax. It is an old and highly-nutritional remedy for the digestive system that is said to calm an upset stomach, reduce gas and ease pain and cramps. Your cat will love you, too, if you give it a Catnip-stuffed toy. History: Catnip is an erect, ornamental perennial that is native to Europe and western Asia and has been naturalized in North America. It grows along roadsides, in waste places and in mountainous regions up to five thousand feet with square, branching, hairy stems, pointed leaves with scalloped edges and spiked whorls of white flowers that are flecked with purple and red. The plant thrives in north-temperate regions in well-drained soil in sun and may reach a height of five feet. It is frequently used in gardens for its decorative appearance, as well as its highly valued use as an insect repellent that inhibits pests, including aphids, beetles and ants, among others, and is especially effective when planted in vegetable gardens. It does not, however, repel cats; they love it and are fascinated by it! The plant is thought to induce feline purring and relaxation (after producing an odd, frenzied state), and they also love it because it ultimately sedates their prey, including mice and birds. One of the commercially valuable uses of Catnip is in stuffed cat toys; and, of course (and of major importance), the cut tops and leaves have been used for centuries in herbal medicines. The Mohegans made a tea of Catnip for infantile colic, and it was also used historically in the United States to induce sweating and to cure colds. Catnip was included in the United States Pharmacopoeia from 1842 through 1882 and in the National Formulary from 1916 to 1950. It is a bitter, astringent, cooling herb with a pleasing aroma, and the leaves are steeped in a mint-like tea. Catnip is still popular in Europe as a treatment for bronchitis and for chronic diarrhea, and in France, it is considered a seasoning that is important in ki |

Other common names: Colt's Foot, Horse Hoof, Calves' Foot, Son-before-the-Father, Donnhove, Coughwort, Cough Weed, Tussilago, Cough Plant, Ass's Foot, Bullsfoot, Hallfoot, Foalswort, Butter Bur* *Please Note: Although, Coltsfoot is closely allied to (and sometimes called Butterbur, and vice-versa), it is a different plant; however, the two plants do have many common constituents and share many similar applications. Coltsfoot Leaf has been used for thousands of years almost exclusively for the relief of asthma, bronchitis, dry coughs, whooping cough, laryngitis, sore throat and other respiratory and inflammatory conditions. History: Coltsfoot is a hardy, perennial that is native to Europe and introduced to North America, where it grows wild as an invasive weed (it is even banned in some states) in waste places and on roadsides. The plant bears yellow, dandelion-like flowers on brown-tipped stems and broad, heart-shaped leaves that have downy white hairs on the underside that have an aromatic fragrance and appear only after the flowers are in bloom. The plant may grow to a height of twenty inches and thrives in moist, damp, clayey, neutral-to-alkaline soil in sun or partial shade. Coltsfoot is so-named, because many people thought the plant's leaf was shaped like a colt's hoof. Its botanical name, Tussilago, is derived from the same Latin word, which is translated as ''cough dispeller,'' obviously referring to the plant's universal use as a cough remedy. This is also a reference to many of the plant's other common names, i.e., Coughwort, Cough Plant, etc. Coltsfoot is one of the very earliest of spring wildflowers to blossom, but because the leaves do not open until after the bright yellow flowers have bloomed, another common name evolved, i.e., Son-before-the-Father. For more than two thousand years, Coltsfoot Leaf has been regarded as one of the best herbal remedies for coughs, and both the ancient Greeks and Romans used it to treat lung problems. Dioscorides, Pliny, and Galen all recommended that the leaves and roots be burned over cypress charcoal and the smoke swallowed to relieve coughs |

(Ancient rhyme from the pagan belief that held the Elder tree sacred to the Moon Goddess.) Loaded with vitamins A, B and C, Elderberry stimulates the immune system and protects against free radicals that attack healthy cells. At the very first sign of a cold or flu, a regimen of Elderberry should help alleviate the symptoms within seventy-two hours. History: Elderberry is a deciduous, perennial, large shrub (or small tree) that reaches a height and spread of about fifteen feet, but occasionally rising to forty feet. The Elder tree is native to Europe but has been naturalized in the Americas. The leaves are opposite, pinnate with five-to-nine serrate-edged leaflets. They bear large clusters of small white or cream-colored flowers in the late spring and are followed by clusters of small bluish or black berries. Some Elderberry species have lifespans between eighty and one hundred years. The Elder tree prefers rich, moist soil and is usually found in heavily forested areas and on rocky slopes in the temperate and subtropical regions of both hemispheres. The common American Elder (Sambucus canadensis) is native to North America, where Native Americans used it medicinally and in their diets; and its European relative (Sambucus nigra) - both species bearing blue-black berries - have been used in the same manner for thousands of years. The berries provide a very valuable food resource for many birds and butterflies and, of course, herbal medicine. Evidence of its cultivation may be found at Stone Age village sites in Switzerland and Italy. In ancient times, the Elder tree was believed to have mystical properties and was considered good luck. Having an Elder tree near the home was thought to bring happy marriages, prosperity and healthy children. The spirits that lived within the tree protected against disease, evil spirits and all common ailment |

This nutrient-rich herb has been used for centuries to ease eyestrain, conjunctivitis, sore and runny eyes, and is also thought to relieve allergies and hay fever. Eyebright is an antioxidant that fights free-radical damage and promotes overall eye health. History: Eyebright is a creeping herb with small, scallop-edged, spotted white flowers and a black center, somewhat resembling a bloodshot eye. Its botanical genus, Euphrasia, includes about 450 species of herbaceous flowering plants that are semi-parasitic on grasses. Many species may be found in alpine or sub-alpine meadows where snow is common. Flowers usually are borne terminally and have a lower petal shaped like a lip. Some species have yellow markings on the lower petal to act as a guide to pollinating insects. It is a delicate annual plant that is difficult to grow and reaches a height of only about eight inches. The plant attaches itself by underground suckers to the roots of neighboring grass plants and drains nutrients from them, and to be cultivated, Eyebright must be given nurse or host plants upon whose roots it may feed. There are several species of Eyebright that may be used interchangeably, including Euphrasia officinalis, Euphrasia stricta and Euphrasia rostkoviana. Eyebright was first introduced into medical literature in the works of the pioneering naturalist, St. Hildegard (1098-1179), and was also recorded as a medicinal herb for ''all evils of the eye'' in the fourteenth century. However, its legendary use is said to go back to the beginning of time. Eyebright's genus name and alternate name, Euphrasia, is derived from the Greek, euphrosyne, meaning ''good cheer.'' Certainly, Eyebright brought euphoria and good cheer to Adam when the Archangel, Michael, used the herb to cure him after he was afflicted with blindness for eating the forbidden fruit in Milton's Paradise Lost. For centuries, Eyebright has been the herb of choice for various diseases of the eye and has also been used since the Middle Ages as a tonic an |

History: Feverfew is a native plant of southeastern Europe that is now common throughout Australia, Europe and North America, where it sometime grows wild. The daisy-like flower is a perennial that grows about two feet in height. Ancient Greek physicians used Feverfew to treat melancholy, headaches and to lower fevers; Dioscorides is believed to have used it to treat arthritis. One of its botanical genus names, Chrysanthemum, is derived from two Greek words, i.e., chrysos, meaning ''golden'' and anthos, meaning ''flower,'' and its English name is a corrupted version of the Latin word, febrifugia, meaning ''fever reducer.'' Its botanical specific, parthenium, is said to be derived from the Greek word, parthenos, meaning virgin, in reference to young women who used the plant to treat menstrual irregularities. This herb has been used since the first century A. D., to treat headaches, and the English continued to use it into the seventeenth century to treat depression, headache, vertigo and to lower fever. The esteemed English pharmacist, Nicholas Culpeper, recommended its use in 1649 for ''all pains in the head,'' and in 1772, the herbalist, John Hill, said it would cure the ''worst headache.'' Feverfew faded from herbal popularity after that time, but it was planted in gardens for its small daisy-like flowers that appeared to ''purify the air'' and repel insects. Recently, however, it has returned to the herbalists' repertoire, primarily to prevent migraine headaches. The respected British journal, Lancet, reported in 1988, that extracts of Feverfew inhibited the release of two inflammatory substances, serotonin and prostaglandin, and its use was effective against headache. The chemical composition of the plant appears to fluctua |

If you need a mild - yet highly effective - laxative, try Fig, the highly nutritious herb that has been effective enough to relieve constipation, but mild enough for use by children and invalids. History: The common Fig Tree is a smallish ornamental that may grow to a possible thirty feet in height. It is deciduous with broad leaves and a fleshy, juicy, pear-shaped fruit called the Fig, and the tree thrives in rich, loamy, well-drained, neutral-to-alkaline soil in sun. The Fig tree is indigenous to Persia, Turkey, Syria and other Mediterranean areas of Asia Minor, where it grows wild, but is now cultivated for its beauty, food, and medicinal value in other warm climates of the world. Since remote ancient times, the Fig has been widely cultivated as ''the poor man's food,'' because of the ease with which the nutritious fruit can be grown without irrigation in a dry, hot climate - hot enough to preserve them by sun-drying with a minimum of effort. For over five thousand years, Figs have been highly valued, and their history has been recorded since earliest times, appearing in the writings of Homer, Plato and other Greek writers. The earliest Hebrew books frequently refer to it as a symbol of peace and prosperity, and the Bible says Hezekiah used Fig to remedy boils (Isaiah). The botanical specific, caria, is derived from the fact that the Greeks claimed to have received the Fig from Caria in Asia Minor. It was a major crop in ancient Greece, and Greek athletes are said to have fed almost exclusively on Figs to increase their strength and swiftness. In Rome, the Fig was revered as sacred and was dedicated to the god, Bacchus, frequently appearing in religious ceremonies. In Greece and Rome, the Fig comprised a large portion of the diets of slaves and agricultural workers. Later cultivation in Europe is credited to Charlemagne who ordered it to be planted in central Europe in 812. Fig's medicinal value was officially recognized, and it was listed in the British Pharmacopoeia. Today, Turkey produces the largest commercial crop of Figs, and large areas of California also produce a healthy share. It also g |

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: Common Flax, Linseed, Lint Bells, Winterlien ''Wherever Flaxseeds become a regular food item among the people, there will be better health'' Mahatma Gandi Flaxseed provides all eight essential amino acids and a wealth of nutrients, including Omega-3 and Omega-6 Essential Fatty Acids, digestive enzymes, protein, vitamins and minerals. Flaxseed is said to help lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels, improve circulation and immune function and also to treat inflammatory disorders. New research indicates that the use of Flaxseed may also help to significantly reduce hot flashes in menopausal women. History: As the source of linen fiber, Flax has been cultivated since at least 5000 B.C., and its importance continues today for its fiber and as a source of oil. Flax is a hardy annual that grows from one to four feet with narrow, hairy leaves and red, white or blue flowers that are followed by spherical capsules (bols), which contain seeds that are rich in oils with linoleic acid. Its history reaches back to the earliest times as a food (the seeds when roasted) and in the making of fine linen cloth. The Flax plant was grown in Palestine before the arrival of the Israelites. The Bible tells us that Rahab in Jericho hid two spies under stems of Flax she had been drying, and Solomon, praised his wife who separated the fibers of the Flax for fine linen. The Egyptians made fine linen clothing and used it for wrapping mummies in the embalming process. The medicinal properties of Flaxseeds were known to the Greeks, as Hippocrates recommended them for inflammations of the mucous membranes and digestive disorders, and in eighth-century France, Charlemagne passed laws requiring the seeds to be consumed to keep his subjects healthy. In North America, the use of Flax dates back to 1617, when L. Hebert, the first farmer in Canada, brought it to New France, and today, the crop grows widely on the prairies of Canada for its oil-rich seeds. The seed oil (linseed) is not only an important commercial ingredient in the manufacture of paint and varnish, but Flaxseed contains a wealth of nutritional b |
