When it comes to fighting infections, Garlic enjoys the reputation as nature's most potent weapon against germs. Garlic is said to pulverize viruses, bacteria and fungi. If you want to detoxify your body, lower blood pressure, promote healthy serum cholesterol and blood sugar levels and enhance your immune system, give Garlic a try; you won't be sorry! History: Garlic has been prized for at least five thousand years, and so, it is difficult to trace its exact origin. One early botanist considered it to be indigenous to the southwest of Siberia, later spreading to southern Europe. Others claim that it came from Central Asia, where it was considered the most important herb in Persian herbal medicine. It is widely cultivated in the Latin countries bordering the Mediterranean, even growing wild in Sicily. Garlic has been described through the ages in almost spiritual terms and has been called the wonder drug of the herbal world. It is a bulbous perennial with a single stalk that may grow to three feet. Ancient Egyptians not only worshipped Garlic but also fed it to their slaves to keep them healthy, and a 3,500-year-old Egyptian scroll tells us that healers at that time believed Garlic could help a person fight cancer. Hippocrates (460 B.C.) is believed to have used Garlic to treat uterine cancer. In 1722, Garlic was used to protect against plague in Marseilles, and in London, in the early 1800s, where there was an outbreak of infectious fever in certain poor quarters, the Garlic-eating French priests who treated the sick did not die, but the English clergy, who did not eat Garlic, succumbed to the disease. Garlic contains a sulphide of the radical allil, which is rich in sulphur but contains no oxygen, thus giving Garlic its peculiar, penetrating odor. It also includes enzymes, linalool, oleanolic acid, quercetin, rutin, saponin, stigm |

Other common names: African Ginger, Jamaica Ginger, Black Ginger, Chiang If you have ever reached for a glass of Ginger ale for an upset stomach, you are on the right track! Ginger is an ancient remedy for upset stomach, indigestion, motion sickness and cramps, and that's just the beginning. This wonderful food additive can also help reduce fevers, relieve pain, reduce inflammation and help remove toxins from the body. On the news front, important new research from the University of Michigan has indicated that Ginger has caused ovarian cancer cell death in laboratory tests. History: Ginger is an exotic, perennial plant with highly aromatic flowers that grows to a height of three feet. It originated in tropical Asia, where its tuberous rootstock was not only used as a spice for culinary purposes, but has also continued to play an important role in Asian medicine for 2,500 years. The Chinese considered it a ''warming'' herb and used it extensively to warm the stomach, ward off colds, dispel chills and treat digestive problems, and Chinese ships even carried Ginger on voyages to prevent seasickness. In ancient Greece and Egypt, Ginger was used as a confection, and the Romans considered it a taxable commodity by A.D. 200. The Persians were said to use Ginger as a remedy for arthritis. The origin of Ginger's name may be derived from two sources: The Greek word for Ginger is zingiberis, and some say it is derived from Zanzibar, from whence it was imported to Europe in the fifteenth century. It is believed that gingerbread was sent as a gift to Russia to celebrate the birth of Peter the Great and was also a favorite in the court of Elizabeth I of England. Ginger had spread to Spain, where it was cultivated, and later, Spanish conquistadors brought it to the New World, where it has thrived as a major commercial crop in Jamaica. Ginger is now cultivated in tropical areas of the world, including Africa, Asia, Australia and the West Indies. Under cultivation, Ginger seldom blossoms, and the fruit is rarely seen. In Ayurvedic medicine, it is called ''the universal medicine,'' and in both Ayurvedic a |

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.

Other common names: Pansy, Field Pansy, Garden Violet, Wild Pansy, Johnny Jumper, Johnny-Jump-Up, Jupiter, Stepmother, Ladies' Delight, Herbe de Pensee Sauvage Heartsease may be a colorful addition to our salad bowls and ancient love potions, but more importantly, Heartsease is a soothing expectorant that has been used to treat lung problems (bronchitis, dry cough and asthma), as well as numerous skin problems (diaper rash, cradle cap and weeping eczema). History: Heartsease is a pretty flower that is native to Europe and is widely cultivated as a garden ornamental, but it also grows wild in fields, meadows and along forest edges in the temperate regions of North America, Asia and Europe. Heartsease (or Pansy, as it is sometimes called) is occasionally referred to as a cultivated weed with hollow stems, bearing lanceolate leaves and solitary flowers of yellow, blue-violet; or it may be dual-colored with white. The plant thrives in well-drained, moisture-retentive soil in sun or partial shade and flowers from May to September, growing to a height of about fifteen inches. One of Heartsease's common names, Pansy, is thought to be derived from the French word, penser, which means ''to think,'' and the flower's three colors (purple, yellow and white) stand for ''memories, loving thoughts and souvenirs,'' all of which ease the hearts of separated lovers, recalling the flower's name, Heartsease. It is a member of the violet family, and its use in herbal medicine may be traced to ancient times. Homer told us that Athenians used Heartsease to moderate anger, while the Roman, Pliny, recommended it to prevent headaches and dizziness, and it was also used in love potions. In Gerard's ''Herball'' of 1597, he recommended Heartsease for infantile convulsions and for chest and lung inflammations, as well as for scabs, itching and ulcers - uses that are continued in herbal medicine to this very day. It is interesting to note that the Chinese used Heartsease in herbal medicines throughout history in all the same ways as they were employed in the West.

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Marrubio, White Horehound, Hoarhound, Marrubium Horehound has been a popular cough and cold remedy since ancient Egyptian times. As a potent expectorant, it will promote mucus and ease the pain of a dry, non-productive, hacking cough. Try it for bronchitis, indigestion and whooping cough. History: Horehound is a hardy perennial and medicinal mint that may grow to a height of two feet, with all the aboveground parts of this herbaceous plant used in herbal medicine. Like many other plants of the Labiatae family, Horehound flourishes in waste places and by roadsides, needing little care. The leaves are wrinkled, opposite, petiolate and covered with white, felted hairs, which give them a wooly appearance. They have a curious, musky smell, which is diminished by drying and lost on keeping. Some claim that Horehound is native to Morocco, but others claim it is indigenous to Great Britain, where it flourishes and is cultivated in gardens for making tea and candy for use in coughs and colds. It is also brewed there and made into Horehound ale, an appetizing and healthful beverage. What is certain is that the plant was carried throughout the Old World and later to Europe and North America by traders and settlers. Ancient Egyptian priests honored Horehound as a treatment for coughs and colds, calling it ''eye of the star,'' and the Greek physician, Hippocrates, esteemed its curative powers and even thought it would break magical spells. Horehound's botanical genus, Marrubium, is said to be derived from the Hebrew, marrob, which translates as ''bitter juice,'' and it is thought that Horehound was one of the original bitter herbs of the Jewish Passover meal. Historically, Horehound has had many uses, but its primary reputation rests with its expectorant abilities that relieve lung congestion, although the sixteenth-century herbalist, John Gerard recommended it (in addition to its uses for coughs and colds) in his 1597 Herball or Generall Historie of Plantes as a remedy for ''those that have drunk poyson or have been bitten of serpents,'' and it was also administered for ''mad |

Other common names: Armoracia, Scurvy Grass, Red Cole, Great Raifort, Mountain Radish, Great Mountain Root, Pepperrot Want to clear your sinuses? Horseradish not only flavors our foods but is also an extremely pungent herb that helps to rid the body of excess fluids, which aids in the relief of respiratory congestion associated with bronchitis, asthma, emphysema, coughs and flu. It also clears the sinuses, flushes toxins from the kidneys and urinary tract (good for stones, gout and arthritis) and expels poisons through the skin by promoting heaving sweating....and, as an added attraction, the grated fresh root will also add zip to your meals and bring tears to your eyes! History: Horseradish is a hardy perennial with a somewhat vague place of origin, but it is thought to be indigenous to southeastern Europe and western Asia, and cultivated (and found wild as a garden escapee) throughout Europe, from Sicily northwards and other parts of the world. The long, white cylindrical root, which is larger at the crown, is deeply planted and produces a two- to three-foot-high ridged stem with large, elliptical, pointed, bright green leaves that has a pungent aroma when bruised. The plant thrives in light, very rich, well-dug and moist soil in an open, sunny position that is protected from frosty weather. Horseradish has been used since ancient times and is said to represent morar, one of the five bitter herbs used by the Jews during the Passover Seder feast. In the first century A.D., the Roman scholar, Pliny, recommended the herb (which he called Armoracia) for its medicinal qualities to be used as a physic. Originally, Horseradish was cultivated chiefly as a medicinal herb and was used only for that purpose until well into the sixteenth century, when the Germans and Danes developed it as a culinary herb for fish sauce. In 1597, Gerard (who called it Raphanus rusticanus) claimed that it was not only a valuable medicine but also a valuable condiment, and by 1640, it was popularly used in Britain as a dressing for roast beef.

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. 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.

Delicious Licorice will help to keep your lungs clear, your digestive tract calm, your colon cleansed and your adrenal gland functioning properly. Alexander the Great gave his soldiers Licorice to boost their energy before a battle, so why not try some if you are feeling exhausted and stressed? Licorice is a reliable and pleasant way to soothe a sore throat. History: Licorice is a woody-stemmed perennial plant found wild in southern and central Europe and parts of Asia that thrives in deep, rich, moisture-retentive, slightly-alkaline, sandy soil in full sun. It is a cultivated crop in many places that grows slowly from seed (generally from two to six feet in height), but is difficult to eradicate when well established. Licorice is a very important commercial crop that is a mainstay in herbal medicine, as well as a flavoring for confectionery, snuff, foods, cough syrups and tobacco. As a matter of fact, although Licorice is best known in the United States as a flavoring and candy, ninety percent of Licorice imports are actually used to flavor tobacco products. Licorice has been used as one of the key herbs in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for over three thousand years, and its use is associated with longevity. It was (and is) considered a tonic to rejuvenate the heart and spleen, treat ulcers, coughs, colds and digestive complaints and was mentioned in the Shen Nong Canon of Herbs listings of more than 365 plants and drugs that was compiled in China about two thousand years ago. In the West, the Greeks learned about Licorice from the Sythians as a treatment for coughs as long ago as the third century B.C., the very same application for which it is still used today. Alexander the Great supplied his troops with rations that included Licorice sticks to alleviate thirst and boost energy before battles. Both Hippocrates and Pliny the Elder described the medical benefits of Licorice, as did Dioscorides, who gave the plant its botanical name, Glycyrrihza, which is derived from |

Meadowsweet was introduced to North America from Europe and now grows wild throughout eastern Canada and the United States. Meadowsweet's name is derived from its older name, Meadsweet, which, like Meadwort (its oldest English name from Anglo-Saxon times), refers to the plant's use as a flavoring for mead, a honeyed liquor. Its botanical specific, ulmaria, is derived from the Latin, ulmus, meaning ''elm,'' referring to the resemblance of Meadowsweet's leaves to those of the elm tree.

Other common names: Mo Yao, Makkul, Mukul, Myrrh Tree, Balsamodendron, Commiphora, Molmol, Mirra, Bola For four thousand years, Myrrh has been known as a powerful natural antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antifungal that combats infections of the lungs, skin, and urinary and intestinal tracts. Since antiquity, Myrrh has been used to relieve pain and alleviate sinusitis, gingivitis, periodontal disease and sore throat, and has long been used to help bolster the body's natural immune defenses. Myrrh is also a natural deodorizer and can help to sweeten the breath. History: Myrrh is an aromatic, gummy substance (oleo-gum resin), exuded and harvested from certain small trees and shrubs that are generally deciduous and spiny with a spread of sixteen feet and producing yellow and red flowers. Botanically, there is still uncertainty about the origin and identity of the various species (which include Commiphora molmol - Somalian, Commiphora myrrha - Common myrrh, Commiphora schimperi - Arabian, Commiphora gileadensis - Mecca myrrh, Commiphora habessinica - Abyssinian/Yemeni myrrh, Commiphora makul - mukul or guggul from India, but they are all thought to be native to the desert scrublands of eastern Africa, northern Somalia, Yemen, Arabia and India. The thorny trees thrive in well-drained soil in full sun in warm climates, and the pungent oleo-gum resin that is collected from cut branches is dried to a solid and has been regarded as one of the great treasures of the East for thousands of years for use in herbal medicines, perfumes, incense, fumigation and religious rituals. Myrrh was an important ingredient in the Egyptian embalming process of 2000 B.C., and ancient Egyptian women burned Myrrh pellets to rid their homes of fleas. The composition varies slightly from one species to another, but it has been a standard medicament in the Middle East since Biblical times for infected wounds and bronchial and digestive complaints.

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; a |

Other common names: White Pine Bark, Eastern White Pine, Northern White Pine, Pumpkin Pine, Soft Pine, Deal Pine, Weymouth Pine (in Britain) Pine Bark is an old and trusted treatment for colds and flu. It loosens and expels phlegm from the respiratory tract, easing bronchitis and lung congestion, and its warming qualities stimulate circulation, which may ward off colds and flu before they settle in. The high content of nature's most powerful antioxidants (proanthocyanidins/PCSs/OPCs) in Pine Bark have made it the focus of much attention in the area of combating free radical damage, arteriosclerosis and strokes. History: The Eastern White Pine is the tallest evergreen tree that is native to eastern North America and one of many Pine varieties that have been used medicinally in various countries from the earliest times. The Eastern White Pine is the official State Tree of both Maine and Michigan and is also the Provincial Tree of Ontario. The species was imported into England by Captain George Weymouth in 1620, who planted it widely for a future timber crop, but it was not successful because of Blister Rust disease. The Eastern White Pine is a hardy conifer that grows to a height of one hundred, fifty feet, or more, thriving in well-drained, neutral to acid soil in sun and a cool climate and covered with a deeply fissured, gray-brown bark. In natural, pre-Colonial days, the White Pine is said to have grown to two hundred and thirty feet in height, and the tree still has the distinction of being the tallest tree in eastern North America. Its branches grow in regular whorls and bear soft, bluish-green, needle-like linear leaf clusters (fascicles) of five. Both male and female trees produce long, slender cones. Mature trees can live to two hundred years old; some live as long as four hundred years! Prior to the American Revolution and during the age of the great sailing ships, the high quality of Eastern White Pine was valued for its use in mast making by the British Royal Navy, and Pine is still widely grown in plantation forestry and valued in the commercial timber industry.

Other common names: Jersey Tea, New Jersey Tea, Wild Snowball, Mountain Sweet Red Root stimulates fluid drainage from congested areas and has a profound effect on the lymph system, (draining wastes); the liver (decreasing the harmful effects of fats); the spleen (reducing chronic enlargement); and the respiratory system (relieving asthma, bronchitis, whooping cough, colds, tonsillitis and sinusitis). History: Red Root is a half-hardy shrub that is native to North America. The Ceanothus genus encompasses over fifty species of small trees or shrubs that are distributed throughout North America and as far south as Guatemala. The majority of the species are evergreen, but the eastern species have adapted to cold winters and are deciduous. The shrubby tree has a smooth bark that produces erect branches, bearing alternate, downy leaves and numerous small, ornamental white flowers that bloom in summertime. The flowers are followed by fruits (seed vessels), and the entire plant generally reaches a height of five feet. It can be found in dry woodlands, barrens, open plains or sandy, rocky clearings or hillsides and thrives in well-drained soil in sun. It dislikes alkaline conditions but will tolerate poor, dry soils. The name, Red Root, is derived from the plant's large, red root, which is the medicinal part, and it is dug and partially harvested in late autumn or early spring, when the red color is deepest, and then dried for use in herbal medicines. Red Root is a long, cylindrical, thick, irregularly contorted and branching root, with either a simple or branched head and knotty tubercles. To the taste, Red Root is astringent and bitter, but has no odor (although some claim it is peach-like). In Canada, the root has been occasionally used to dye wool a cinnamon color. The leaves are also astringent and slightly bitter and have been used as a substitute for tea, to which they have a strong resemblance when dried, both in taste and fragrance. Red Root's common name, Jersey Tea, evolved, because the leaves were used as a tea substitute during the American War of Independence. The plant also has a long his |

Other common names: Garden Mint, Green Mint, Spire Mint, Sage of Bethlehem, Lamb Mint, Bethlehem Sage,* Mackerel Mint, Our Lady's Mint, Pea Mint *Bethlehem Sage is also a common name used for a member of the Pulmonaria genus of Lungworts, which is an entirely different plant with different applications and should not be confused with Spearmint. Spearmint has been used for thousands of years as a pleasant way to support the gastrointestinal system, with particular emphasis on the lower bowel. The herb is said to relieve flatulence, indigestion, colic, irritable bowel syndrome, nausea and heartburn, as well as stomach, abdominal and bowel pains. This is one old home remedy that no one should be without. History: Spearmint is a hardy, herbaceous perennial that is native to the Mediterranean region but also grows wild and is cultivated in temperate climates over most of the world. Plants of the mint family are a complex group, involving hybridization in both the wild and in cultivation, and they are so numerous that it is sometimes difficult to identify the individual plants within the species. As a matter of fact, a ninth-century monk, writing about these plants, said he'd rather count the sparks in a furnace than count the different varieties of mint. Nonetheless, mints have been known and appreciated since antiquity for their fragrance and taste and their important use in herbal medicines. Spearmint is a leafy plant with square stems that bear short, uneven, serrate leaves topped by slender, terminal spikes and pale purple or mauve flowers that bloom from July to September. The plant may be found in rich, moist, alkaline soils in sun or partial shade and grows to a height of about two feet. The genus, mentha, is derived from the name of a nymph, Minthe, who was seduced by Pluto and whom the jealous Persephone turned into a seedling (mint). There is evidence that mint was cultivated by the Egyptians, and the Romans revered it so much that they are said to have introduced it from southern Europe to other parts of Europe. Medicinal interest in mint dates from the first century A.D., when its u |
