It has become the world's most popular herbal supplement for banishing the blues and controlling stress and has also been used to treat chronic fatigue syndrome, anxiety and a host of other ailments. History: St. John's Wort is a perennial plant, native to Western Asia, Europe and Great Britain (especially in Wales), and it has been introduced to the United States, where it grows wild. The herb grows in well-drained to dry soil in partial shade to a height of about thirty-two inches and bears bright yellow petals with flowering tops. Although St. John's Wort is cultivated in many parts of Europe for commercial purposes, it is it is listed as a noxious weed in several countries. St. John’s Wort invades pastures and replaces useful vegetation as a toxic weed, making productive land unviable, as ingestion by livestock can cause photosensitization, central nervous system depression, spontaneous abortion and may be fatal. The plant allegedly possessed mystical and magical powers, partly due to the fluorescent red pigment, hypericin (one of its most powerful chemical constituents) that oozed like blood from the crushed flowers. If you rub the petals of this flower between your fingers, that red resin will ooze out, and according to one legend of the Middle Ages, this plant sprang from the blood of St. John the Baptist when he was beheaded. Another legend says the plant's name came from the fact that it bloomed around June 29th, which is the feastday commemorating the beheading of St. John the Baptist on the Christian Church calendar. As a matter of fact, the plant's botanical genus, Hypericum, is said to be derived from the Greek words, hyper, meaning ''above'' and eikon ''picture,'' referring to a traditional custom of hanging St. John's Wort over a picture or icon in the house during St John's day to ward off evil. In Middle English, the term ''wort'' referred to |

It has been used in herbal medicine to rid the body of toxins and cleanse and purify the blood, as well as relieve bronchial complaints. Its astringent qualities have made it useful in alleviating painful hemorrhoids. History: Stillingia Root is a hardy perennial evergreen or deciduous shrub that is native to large portions of the southern United States and also ranges in other warm and tropical parts of the Americas, thriving in pine barrens and other dry, acid, sandy soils in sun or partial shade. The plant bears leathery, three-inch, fine-toothed leaves and yellow-green flowers that may bloom all year in the warmer climates, and the entire plant grows to a height of about four feet. It was once a very popular home medicine with the early settlers in the southern regions of the United States as a laxative, emetic (to induce vomiting), expectorant (encouraging the expulsion of phlegm), blood purifier and a cure for syphilis (which has since been disproven). In fact, in 1828, Dr. T. Y. Symons published his research on the subject, claiming it to be an effective cure for syphilis (toxic mercury had previously been used), and after meeting with the medical community's approval, it was listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia. In the nineteenth century, the Eclectic physicians who attempted to combine what was effective in conventional medical treatments with what was beneficial in herbal medicine, used Stillingia Root to treat cancer and tuberculosis. Herbalists also continued to value Stillingia's properties as a laxative and emetic, and modern herbalists recommend it as a purifier for the blood (in combination with other herbs) and as an effective alterative. The herb was included in the highly controversial Hoxey Formula that was used to heal external cancers, and although there is great resea |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Oak Bark, Tanner's Bark, Quebec Oak White Oak Bark is a powerful astringent that has been used for centuries to control diarrhea, internal and external bleeding, excessive menstrual flow, nosebleeds and hemorrhoids. It is also a potent antiseptic that has helped to control bacterial invasion and infection and has been employed to relieve vaginal and bladder infections, among others. History: The White Oak tree is a stately, deciduous member of more than fifty species of oaks found in the United States, and is said to be native to the eastern part of North America. The ''Mighty Oak,'' long a symbol of strength (and the emblem on the first flag of the Revolutionary forces during the United States War of Independence), thrives as an ornamental in rich, deep, well-drained, acidic soil in sun or partial shade and may reach well over one hundred feet in height at maturity. In ancient times, the Oak was dedicated to Thor, the Norse god of thunder, and this gave rise to the false belief that an Oak tree could never be struck by lightning. This belief led to the placement of acorn symbols in a home for protection, with acorn-shaped wooden pulls attached to Venetian Blind cords to guard those dwelling within. Oak's botanical genus, Quercus, is said to be derived from the Celtic word, quer, meaning ''fine'' and cuez, meaning ''tree,'' and its botanical specific, alba, is translated from Latin, meaning ''white.'' The White Oak has been an important medicinal treatment in the history of Native Americans and settlers alike. Several Native Americans ate the ground meal from acorns of the White Oak as a dietary staple, and many tribes used White Oak Bark as an important medicine for diarrhea, wounds and hemorrhoids. The Menominees and Potawatomis used a liquid from the scraped inner bark medicinally as a treatment for piles, and the Penobscots drank its liquid to treat diarrhea. The settlers learned of its medicinal uses from the Native Americans and also used it as a substitute for the English Oak, often employing it in barrel making, leather tanning and shipbuilding.

Try White Willow Bark for effective pain relief! Ingredients in White Willow Bark contain compounds from which aspirin was derived, and this natural painkiller contains the beneficial effects of aspirin without the side effects typically associated with synthetic aspirin products. History: The Willow encompasses more than three hundred species. The White Willow is a low-growing deciduous tree that is native to Europe and northern Asia and naturalized in North America. It grows in damp, low places, especially along riverbanks, and thrives in moist-to-wet, heavy soil in sun, rising to a height of eighty feet. White Willow branches were once regarded as a symbol of desolation and grief and were displayed by those who experienced ''lost love,'' but it has more often been called one of nature's greatest gifts to man because of its natural painkilling effects. In the first century A.D., the Greek physician, Dioscorides, appears to have been the first to note the use of Willow Bark to ease pain and reduce fevers, and he even specifically prescribed a mixture with the bark to treat lower back pain. During the Middle Ages, White Willow Bark continued to be used in Europe to reduce fevers and relieve pain. The plant contains salicylic acid, which was first synthesized in 1838, and provides the basis of aspirin; and in 1899, the Bayer Company of Germany introduced a drug composed of a synthetic chemical compound, similar to the active compound in Willow Bark, the ''aspirin.'' Native Americans knew of the benefits of White Willow Bark when they used it as a painkiller, a cure for fever and to induce sweating. Some tribes used Black Willow Bark to quell sexual desire and also made good use of the stems for basket-weaving. The stems are still used to create baskets and in the manufacture of wicker furniture and artists' charcoal pencils. Over the centuries, White Willow Bark's growing list of medicinal applications has risen to include remedies for insomnia, colds, rheumatism and dysenter |

History: Wintergreen is a perennial herb with a creeping stem that sends up erect branches, finely-toothed, ovate leaves of pale green when young, and then leathery, dark green when mature. The shrubby evergreen also bears bell-shaped white or pink flowers that bloom from May through September, followed by scarlet fruits, and the plant reaches about six inches in height. It is rather ornamental and may be found growing in forests or on mountains, thriving in acid soil in partial shade. Wintergreen is so named because it remains ''ever'' green in the deepest part of winter and provides important winter nourishment for deer, partridge and other native fauna. Native American tribes brewed a tea of Wintergreen as one of their many herbal treatments for rheumatism, as well as a pain reliever for headache, fever, sore throat and various aches and pains. The American writer, Henry David Thoreau, described such a tea that was made by his own Indian guide. Many tribes also employed it as an aid to breathing by increasing lung capacity while hunting or carrying heavy loads, and the Montagnais of Canada drank Wintergreen tea to treat paralysis.
