Other common names: American Vervain, False Vervain, Indian Hyssop, Simpler's Joy, Wild Hyssop, Purvain, Traveler's Joy, Verbena Blue Vervain is an old American herbal remedy that is said to relieve respiratory and liver congestion, lower fevers, ease coughs and colds, cleanse toxins, calm the nerves and act as a general tonic that produces an overall feeling of well-being. History: Blue Vervain is an erect, tall, elegant perennial that bears opposite, lance-shaped leaves on top with lobed, hastate leaves below (meaning shaped like an arrowhead and giving credence to the herb's botanical specific, hastata). The stem of the plant also bears dense spikes of small, purplish-blue flowers and is indigenous to North America (as opposed to Verbena officinalis, or the Vervain that is native to the Mediterranean region and introduced to the United States). Blue Vervain may be found along roadsides in dry, grassy fields, flowering from June to September, and it thrives in well-drained soil in sun, reaching a height of three to four feet. The woody, fibrous, and faintly odorous root is used in herbal medicine. It is bitter, somewhat astringent with an unpleasant taste, but much stronger than the leaves, which are sometimes also used, but are less active. Both varieties of Vervain have been used in herbal medicine for centuries, and Blue (American) Vervain was very popular with Native Americans as a female tonic. In addition they employed it for colds, fevers, lung, and bowel complaints (the Cherokees utilized it as a remedy for dysentery and diarrhea), and many of these uses have been confirmed by the herb's modern applications. Beneficial Uses: Blue Vervain is said to be excellent in cases of colds and congestion. As an expectorant, it helps to loosen and expel phlegm from the throat and chest. It is considered one of the best herbs to help alleviate the onset of a cold, especially with upper respiratory inflammation of the lungs. Moreover, Blue Vervain also acts as a sudorific, or agent that promotes sweating and thereby cools the body and reduces intermittent fevers, which also helps to relieve s |

Startling new developments have placed Blueberry at the top of the health list to soak up free radicals and combat carcinogens. Blueberry also supports healthy blood sugar levels, healthy cardiac function and is packed with valuable nutrients and vitamins. The anthocyanins in Blueberry are beneficial for helping to combat age-related memory loss and Alzheimer's disease. History: Blueberry is a sweet, aromatic, edible berry that is indigenous to North America and is now widely distributed throughout the world. Botanists estimate that Blueberries have been around for more than thirteen thousand years. There are about twenty-five native species of this heath shrub that vary in height from two feet to twenty feet, and one single bush can produce as many as six thousand blueberries a year. The High Bush, larger species (Vaccinium corymbosum) is cultivated, and the smaller-species Low Bush (Vaccinium angustifolium) dotes on sandy or rocky, acid soil and is quite hardy with a wide range. The leaves can be either evergreen or deciduous, ovate to lanceolate, and the flowers are bell-shaped, white, pale pink or red. The bush produces a fruit, which is a berry with a flared ''crown'' (a perfect five-pointed star) at the end, and at first the berries are pale greenish, then reddish-purple, and finally a deep indigo when ripe. When mature, blueberries have a sweet taste with varying acidity. Blueberry bushes typically bear fruit from May through October, with the season peaking in July, which is National Blueberry Month in the United States, and August, which is National Blueberry Month in Canada. They are sometimes called huckleberries, a misnomer, because of their resemblance to that closely related genus. Blueberry is a highly valued commercial crop, and one of the most important Blueberry-growing states is New Jersey (it is the official State Fruit of New Jersey). Although commercially produced in thirty-eight states, six states account for more than ninety percent of the highbush crop: Michigan, New Jersey, Oregon, North Carolina, Georgia and Washingto |

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: Water Bugle, Gypsy Weed, Sweet Bugle, Virginia Water Horehound, Water Horehound, Gypsywort, Virginia Bugleweed Modern herbalists use Bugleweed to treat hyperthyroidism and to regulate an overactive thyroid gland. It is also used to tone the heart and stabilize rapid or irregular heartbeat, relieving nervous palpitations and strengthening the heartbeat. History: Bugleweed is a very common weed that is native to North America and is also found in Europe. From its perennial, creeping root, a smooth stem with lance-shaped leaves on short stalks rises to a height of two feet and bears clustered purple flowers. Both American Bugleweed (Lycopus virginicus/Lycopus americanus) and its European cousin (Lycopus europaeus) grow in very wet areas and are used interchangeably. The plant thrives in low, damp ground in moist-to-wet soil in sun or partial shade and flowers from July to September. Oddly, the herb's historical medicinal applications do not match its current use in today's herbal medicine. Bugleweed was officially listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia in the late nineteenth century as an effective anti-hemorrhagic and sedative, but modern herbalists regard it as a specific for an over-active thyroid gland and nervous heart palpitations. It is considered a bitter, faintly aromatic herb, and its aerial parts (above ground) are used in herbal medicine. Some of the constituents in Bugleweed include a bitter principle, lycopine, tannins, resin, essential oil, as well as caffeic-, chlorogenic-, ellagic-, rosmarinic-, lithospermic- and other acids. Beneficial Uses: Bugleweed is mainly used today to treat hyperthyroidism. The lithospermic and other organic acids are believed to be responsible for the herb's ability to decrease levels of several thyroid-stimulating hormones, notably thyroxine, that act to inhibit the binding of antibodies to the thyroid gland - the antibodies that are said to cause Graves' disease. It is thought to be particularly helpful in treating Graves' disease when there is cardiac involvement, especially where there are symptoms of a racing heart, sha |

Other common names: Sweet Sedge, Sweet Grass, Sweet Root, Sweet Rush, Sweet Calomel, Sweet Flag, Sweet Cane, Sweet Myrtle, Myrtle Grass, Myrtle Sedge, Cinnamon Sedge, Muskrat Root, Rat Root, Pine Root, Gladdon, Flagroot, Beewort American Calamus* has been used mainly to ease digestive disorders, especially relieving flatulence and stomach cramps. It is also thought to be an effective expectorant that clears nasal and respiratory passages, and some herbal practitioners claim it even clears the mind. *Note: The B-asarone content in the essential oil of an Asian variety of the species is thought to be carginogenic and excluded from the American species, but because the USFDA labeled all varieties of Acorus calamus (sometimes also called Sweet Flag and Rat Root) as unsafe in 1968, further research has been discouraged with regard to the herb's many historic applications. Thus, it is always recommended that any use of Calamus be conducted only under the care of a qualified health care provider. History: Calamus is a vigorous, reed-like, aquatic plant with somewhat vague origins. Some say that it is a native of Europe; others claim Asia, and it is distributed widely in the temperate regions of the United States, Europe, Eurasia, northern Asia Minor and throughout the Far East (including India, Indonesia and Sri Lanka). This perennial plant bears sword-shaped leaves with small yellow and green flowers on a fleshy, cane-like stalk and thrives in rich, wet soil (or shallow water) in a sunny position, reaching a height of five feet. Although the iris-like plant resembles ''yellow flag'' (a member of the lily family and the reason Calamus is sometimes called Sweet Flag), it is actually a member of the palm family and flourishes in ditches, lakesides and marshy places. The derivation of Calamus's botanical name, Acorus, is also vague: Some say it is derived from the Greek word, coreon, meaning ''pupil of the eye,'' referring to the plant's use to cure eye diseases; others say it is derived from an old Latin word meaning ''aromatic plant,'' referring to the pleasant fragrance emitted from the reeds.

Try it for other digestive problems as well, including constipation, heartburn, colic, and irritable bowel syndrome. Caraway has a spicy past: It was used in ancient times as an aphrodisiac in love potions. History: Caraway is an annual or biennial herb with finely divided leaves and slender stems that grow from one to two feet in height and are topped by small white flowers. The plant has long taproots that can effectively break up and aerate heavy soils. It is native to the Old World and had been used in the Middle East for five thousand yearyears before its introduction to Europe in the thirteenth century. Caraway grows wild in Europe and temperate parts of Asia and was naturalized in the United States and Great Britain. It is cultivated commercially in Morocco, Holland and England for culinary and medicinal purposes. An herb with a pedigree, Caraway has been found in the remains of Stone Age meals, Egyptian tombs and ancient caravan stops along the Silk Road. Its botanical name, according to the first-century naturalist, Pliny, was derived from Caria, an ancient region of Asia Minor, and the name Caraway comes down to us from ancient Arabic peoples who called the seeds karawya, the name they still bear in the East. Years ago, Caraway was believed to have magnetic properties, and potions were used to attract a person's love. Moreover, Caraway Seeds were sprinkled on people's most prized possessions to protect them from theft or at least magically hold any would-be thief in place until the owner returned. Caraway Seeds were widely known for their mildly spicy, aromatic flavor that were not only used in herbal medicine, helping to relieve digestive ailments (Dioscorides even prescribed Caraway for ''pale-faced girls''), but it has also been an important ingredient in baked goods, soups, salads, cordials, confectionery, soaps and perfumery.

Try Cardamom to prevent indigestion, relieve flatulence and help counter the effects of Celiac disease (gluten intolerance). It may even sweeten your breath! History: Cardamom is a spice that came to us from the Orient by way of ancient caravan routes finding their way to Europe. It is a perennial herb with large fleshy roots that grows wild in rich, moist, well-drained soil in partial shade and reaches an average height of ten feet. There are several species of Cardamom with similar culinary and medicinal applications (especially for gastrointestinal complaints). Some are native to tropical China and Vietnam and are closely related to the Cardamom grown in India and Sri Lanka. The Elettaria seeds are said to be the true Cardamom plants and are thought to have the most pleasant flavor, but the varieties are used interchangeably with similar effects. Harvesting the spice used to be a life-threatening endeavor because Cardamom usually grew and was hand-picked in areas that were home to the deadly king cobra and pit vipers. Today, Cardamom is frequently cultivated as a crop on plantations in many tropical areas of the world, including Africa and Central America. Cardamom was rumored to have been grown in the royal hanging gardens of Babylon over 700 B.C., and was considered a powerful aphrodisiac in ancient love potions. Ancient Egyptians used Cardamom to whiten their teeth and sweeten the breath, and the Greeks and Romans found it useful to counteract the effects of alcohol over-indulgence. It was first mentioned as a medicinal plant in China around 720 A.D., and its use in Ayurvedic medicine was recorded over two thousand years ago, where it continues to this day for the treatment of digestive and bronchial ailments.

Obviously our bulk bottles are bulk powder, not capsules, but the capsule weight is included to give you a way of judging the recommended dosage. Carob Bean - Botanical Powder -- Approximately 600 mg. each capsule. 1/2 teaspoon of powder is about equal to one capsule. 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: St. John's Bread, Algarroba Troubled by diarrhea? High fiber and tannin-rich properties in Carob may account for its recent popularity and reputation as a remarkable remedy for treating this common ailment. History: Carob pods grow on a dome-shaped evergreen tree with dark green compound leaves. The tree may reach a towering height of nearly fifty feet and is native to the Mediterranean region of southeastern Europe and western Asia, and has been widely cultivated in those areas since ancient times for its edible pods, which are rich in protein and sugar. The pods are the so-called ''locusts'' that St. John the Baptist ate while he wandered and prayed in the desert; hence, we have Carob's common name, St. John's Bread. The seeds, which are remarkably uniform in mass, were used in ancient times as the original weight units for gold used by jewelers and goldsmiths and from which, we presume, the term ''carat'' is derived. Although the root system grows deeply, the trees cannot tolerate waterlogging and thrive best in hot climates. It is drought-resistant and well adapted to its native Mediterranean region and it one of the few trees growing in the desert regions of South America. Although not regarded as a food staple in the Mediterrean countries, it will provide sustenance during times of famine and has been traditionally planted as forage for animals; it probably sustained the horses of Lord Allenby's cavalry during World War I and the Duke of Wellington's mounts in Spain during the Peninsular Campaign. Since Carob was said to possess soothing properties, its demulcent properties were at one time used by singers to clear the throat. Some of Carob's constituents include, protein, tannins, carbohydrates and fiber. Beneficial Uses: Carob is considered a remarkable antidiarrheal, and it is highly recommended that travelers pack Carob when visiting foreign countries. Carob is said to be high in fiber and rich in one class of tannins (polyphenols) that manifest strong antiviral and antiseptic properties, making it effective when given to treat bacterial-induced diarrhea. |

The pods are the so-called ''locusts'' that St. John the Baptist ate while he wandered and prayed in the desert; hence, we have Carob's common name, St. John's Bread. The seeds, which are remarkably uniform in mass, were used in ancient times as the original weight units for gold used by jewelers and goldsmiths and from which, we presume, the term ''carat'' is derived. Although the root system grows deeply, the trees cannot tolerate waterlogging and thrive best in hot climates. It is drought-resistant and well adapted to its native Mediterranean region and it one of the few trees growing in the desert regions of South America. Although not regarded as a food staple in the Mediterrean countries, it will provide sustenance during times of famine and has been traditionally planted as forage for animals; it probably sustained the horses of Lord Allenby's cavalry during World War I and the Duke of Wellington's mounts in Spain during the Peninsular Campaign. Since Carob was said to possess soothing properties, its demulcent properties were at one time used by singers to clear the throat. Some of Carob's constituents include, protein, tannins, carbohydrates and fiber. Beneficial Uses: Carob is considered a remarkable antidiarrheal, and it is highly recommended that travelers pack Carob when visiting foreign countries. Carob is said to be high in fiber and rich in one class of tannins (polyphenols) that manifest strong antiviral and antiseptic properties, making it effective when gi |

This herb is BULK DISCOUNTED in our 10 lb & 25 lb bulk packs. To find the bulk packs, just copy and paste the herb name into our Search, or refer to our Bulk By The Kilo & Ton category. We use only 100% Gluten-free, Vegetable Cellulose ''00'' capsules for all of our encapsulated products. We offer both bulk powder and capsules. Obviously our bulk bottles are bulk powder, not capsules, but the capsule weight is included to give you a way of judging the recommended dosage. Cascara Sagrada - Botanical Extract 10:1 -- Approximately 600 mg. each capsule. 1/2 teaspoon of powder is about equal to one capsule. 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: Buckthorn, Chittembark, Sacred Bark, California Buckthorn, Cascara Buckthorn, Persian Bark, Purshiana Bark Cascara Sagrada is sometimes called ''the world's favorite laxative,'' and is famous as a safe, natural way to cleanse the colon (usually acting overnight). Cascara also stimulates the production of gastric juices, promoting good digestion, as well as bile secretions, which encourages healthy gallbladder function. History: Cascara Sagrada, also known as California Buckthorn, is a hardy, deciduous, evergreen tree that is native to the northwest Pacific Coast, ranging from British Columbia to California. It thrives in well-drained, neutral-to-acid soil in sun or partial shade and may grow to a height of forty feet. The bark is peeled from the tree, collected and dried in the shade and becomes milder and less emetic for pharmaceutical purposes when aged for three years. Cascara Sagrada bark should always be aged for at least one year to allow certain chemical changes to occur that reduce griping effects. It was used by many tribes of Native Americans for its cathartic properties, and early Spanish priests of Mendocino, California, learned of its use from the locals, calling Cascara ''Sacred Bark,'' and holding it in very high esteem. Cascara eventually became adopted by the medical profession, and it was first commercially marketed by a pharmaceutical company in 1877 (Parke-Davis) and became officially listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia in 1890. It is interesting to note that no synthetic substance can equal the mild and speedy action of the ''holy bark,'' and these trees were almost endangered, when, early in the twentieth century, many of them were destroyed. Some of the constituents included in Cascara Sagrada include aloe-emodin, beta-carotene, glycosides, malic acid, calcium, iron, linoleic acid, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, silicon, zinc, B-vitamins and vitamin C. Beneficial Uses: Cascara is a mild but extremely effective colon cleanser and laxative that acts principally on the large intestine. T he bark is rich in hor |
