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 |

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: Chokecherry, Virginia Prune, Common Chokecherry, Wild Black Cherry, Black Cherry, Black Choke, Rub Cherry, Cabana Cherry, Rum Cherry ''Life is short, like the three-day Glory of the cherry blossom.'' Japanese Proverb attributed to Masso Yoshikawa Who has not tasted Wild Cherry cough drops or cough syrup? There is a reason: Wild Cherry Bark is a fine expectorant that loosens and expels phlegm from the lungs and has helped bronchitis, colds, flu, dry coughs, tuberculosis and many other pulmonary complaints. It also acts as a mild sedative that not only maycalm coughs, but also nervous irritability and nervous indigestion. History: The Cherry tree is a native of Asia, and was imported to Europe and North America, but the Wild Cherry is believed to be a native of North America, and grows from Canada to the Carolinas and Florida in the United States. It is a large, deciduous tree with a rough, reddish-brown bark and lustrous, dark green, oval, serrate leaves with pointy tips, and it bears small, delicate white flowers that bloom in April. The flowers are followed by one-seeded, purplish-red fruits that ripen in late summer and early autumn. The tree, which may reach a height of one hundred feet, can be found wild in moist woodlands and thickets, by riverbanks, or cultivated in well-drained, neutral-to-alkaline soil in sun, and it is prone to frost damage in a cold spring. The Cherry has been a source of food, drink and medicinal preparations since time immemorial. In North America, the early colonists included Wild Cherry Bark in cough medicines, and they probably learned of the plant's medicinal qualities from the Native Americans, who utilized the bark for diarrhea and lung ailments. The Mohegans used it to cure dysentery; the Cherokees used it to relieve pain in the early stages of labor; and the Meskwakis used it as a sedative. Wild Cherry Bark was officially listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia from 1820 through 1975, as a sedative and antitussive - proving both Native Americans and early settlers correct in their medicinal applications.

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: Chinese Parsley, Cilantro, Coriander, Koriandrum Cilantro Leaf acts mainly on the digestive system. For thousands of years, it has been used to improve the appetite, relieve flatulence and indigestion, kill bacteria and even make your food taste better. The volatile oil in Cilantro Leaf also appears to be an effective anti-inflammatory that safely eases the pain of arthritis, rheumatism and sore muscles. History: Cilantro Leaf grows on the Coriander plant, a native of the Mediterranean regions of southern Europe, southwestern Asia and northern Africa, that now grows in Europe and North and South America. It is a small, annual ornamental that reaches about two to three feet in height and grows on both cultivated and waste ground, thriving in moist, well-drained soil in a sunny position, but those plants cultivated solely for their leaves (Cilantro) do best in partial shade. Cilantro Leaf resembles the parsley leaf, but becomes more jagged and is much smaller and more tender. The plant prefers a cool, damp springtime, followed by a hot, dry summer. All parts of the plant (both the seeds [Coriander]and leaves) have an extremely pungent and disagreeable scent, but upon drying, the Coriander seeds, which are also harvested for their sweet, spicy flavor and medicinal qualities, lose their odor and become more and more fragrant the longer they are dried. Coriander seeds have similar medicinal properties as the leaf of the plant, but there are slightly different applications. The leaves are rich in volatile oil and are gathered when young for commercial uses in herbal medicines and cuisines. One of the world's oldest known herbs, Cilantro Leaf has been an important medicinal herb that supports good digestion for over three thousand years and was mentioned in Sanskrit texts, ancient Egyptian papyri, The Bible (where it was compared to manna) and in the writings of the Greek physician, Hippocrates. The first-century Roman scholar, Pliny, claimed that the best Cilantro came from Egypt, where, no doubt, the Israelites gained their knowledge of its properties. The botanical name, |

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. Orange Peel is one of the greatest sources of vitamin C on earth and should not be left out of your diet as a natural and potent way to enhance your immune system and ward off invasive infection. It is an old and reliable digestive, but important new research has demonstrated promising antioxidant activity. History: Orange Peel is the ripened rind (which sometimes becomes more potent with age) of the Orange and is particularly rich in vitamin C. Contrary to popular belief, the Orange is not native to China. Although its descendence is not exactly known, its origins appear to be in northern and northeastern India, and it was well-known in China and Indo-China as a medicine in the first century A.D. Orange Peel is still used in China today (Citrus sinensis) in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as an ingredient in different drugs. There is a great deal of current research being conducted lately with respect to Orange (and Lemon) Peel and its powerful constituent, d-limonene, a cyclic monoterpene that causes G1 cell cycle arrest, but thus far, no conclusions have been drawn, and further research is needed. The fruit known as the Seville Orange was first brought to Europe by the Moors in the ninth century and grown in the Arabic realms of Spain and Sicily; sweeter Oranges came to the continent later with Portuguese traders. Columbus introduced the Orange to the West Indies, and the fruit was well established in Florida before 1565. Oranges were growing in California by 1800. The smallish trees grow in well-drained soil in sun with ample moisture in warm climates and do not transplant well. They are susceptible to many different insects and fungal diseases and are also quite sensitive to frost. Orange happens to be the most imported fruit in international commerce, both as a popular and most nutritious food on its own, but also as an ingredient in candies, marmalades, herbal medicine, cosmetics, soaps, perfumes, aromatherapy, etc. Orange Peel is one of the most important sources of vitamin C on earth (the Peel contains more than the pulp), and is also rich in citric acid and d-limonene.

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. Source: Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) Citrus Pectin is an indigestible, natural fiber that is found in the peel and rind of citrus fruits and is widely known for its beneficial effects on the digestive tract and ability to maintain intestinal balance. It is said to cleanse the colon, removing waste and toxins, as well as control diarrhea. Moreover, Citrus Pectin is said to lower cholesterol by binding with and removing bilious acids and fats before they are absorbed in the body. This binding action is also believed to slow absorption of dietary sugar after meals and may thus be beneficial in cases of diabetes. There is a great deal of promising research being conducted into the use of Citrus Pectin as a potential in fighting malignant diseases. History: Citrus Pectin is a soluble plant fiber that is present as protopectin in the flavedo, albedo and various membranes found in the peel and rind of citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit and tangerines, etc. Pectin is a constituent found in many other plants, notably edible fruits (apples [skin], bananas, cherries, grapes, pineapple and tomatoes), and it can be described as a complex carbohydrate that is rich in galactosyl residues, a polysaccharide (long-chain carbohydrate, characterized by long, complex side-chains). It functions as intracellular cement in the cell walls of fruits and vegetables, but is most concentrated in citrus fruits; orange rind, for example, contains about thirty percent pectin, while grapefruit often proves higher yields. Although it is such an ordinary material, modern research has found that this compound conveys wondrous health benefits. Researchers in Michigan have recently been studying the effects of plain (long-chain) Citrus Pectin (CP), as well as a chemically Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) on the spread of cancer. As a water-binding hydrocolloid with gel-forming capabilities, Citrus Pectin is a strong binding agent and is most familiar to us as the substance used in the making of jellies and puddings, and it is also found in the over-the-counter diarrhea remedy, Kaopectate ®.

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Cumino, Cumino Aigro, Comino, Jeera, Jiraka, Comino Romano Cumin is an aromatic, stimulating, bitter and warming herb that has been used to support the digestive system and help to relieve dyspeptic headaches, nausea, colic and flatulence. It is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine in India to relieve indigestion and to improve liver function. Pungent and spicy Cumin is an essential ingredient in curries and is also thought to be a stimulant to the sexual organs. Moreover, there is much new research into Cumin's possible use as an antioxidant. History: Cumin is a small, herbaceous plant, indigenous to Upper Egypt, but from early times it was cultivated in Arabia, India, China and the Mediterranean region. The plant produces a slender, branched stem that grows to about a foot in height. The deep green leaves are divided into long, narrow, threadlike segments (somewhat like fennel, but smaller) and bear small rose or white flowers, blooming in June and July, which are followed by fruit, or, actually, seeds that are used in herbal medicine. The tender, fragrant annual thrives in light, well-drained soil in a sheltered, sunny site; and the seeds, which resemble caraway seeds, although bristly, may not ripen in colder climates. The use of Cumin as a spice and herbal medicine has a long history. Seeds, excavated at the Syrian site, Tel ed-Der, have been dated to the second millennium B. C., and Cumin seeds were found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. They were also mentioned in The Bible (both Old and New Testaments) and in the herbal/medicinal references of Hippocrates, Pliny and Dioscorides. It was a very popular spice in Europe, particularly in ancient Rome and Greece (where it was placed on dining table in its own container (much as pepper is frequently kept today); and by the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, it was much in use as a pungent culinary spice in England. However, it eventually went out of vogue in Europe (except in Spain), having been replaced by the similar, but more mild and agreeable (to European tastes), caraway seed.

History: Echinacea Purpurea is an herbaceous, perennial plant that is native to the plains of the American West and has been widely cultivated in Europe, where it is thought to be perhaps the most powerful natural antibiotic. The hairy plant bears lance-shaped leaves and long-stalked, purple flowers with drooping petals. The two-foot plant can be found growing in barrens, on prairies and other dry, open places, thriving in rich, well-drained soil in sun. Echinacea's name is derived from the Greek, echinos, meaning ''hedgehog'' or ''sea urchin,'' referring to the sharp pointed bracts of the receptacles, giving the herb one of its many common names, ''Hedgehog.'' There are three species of this genus that include many of the same applications and properties (E. purpurea, E. angustifolia and E. pallida), and they are frequently used interchangeably. Native Americans used the purple coneflower more than any other plant in the treatment of illness and injury, including snakebites, fevers, wounds, burns, toothaches and infections. The early colonists adopted Echinacea as a home remedy for colds and flu, and the herb became popular in American herbal and traditional medicine. The herb was included in the National Formulary, the pharmacists' reference book, from 1915 through 1950, and although interest in Echinacea declined in America after the 1930s, it was ''rediscovered'' in the 1980s, owing to the increased interest in immune system disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, cancer, candidia |

Other common names: Inula, Elfdock, Elfwort, Velvet Dock, Horse-elder, Scabwort, Horseheal, Wild Sunflower, Yellow Starwort, Alant An ancient treatment for indigestion and respiratory ailments, today's herbalists still rely on Elecampane to relieve bronchitis, asthma, emphysema and whooping coughs. It also helps to ease non-productive, hacking coughs by loosening stubborn phlegm. Among its many qualities, Elecampane is an exceptionally rich source of inulin, a polysaccharide, that is sometimes used as a sugar substitute for diabetics. History: Elecampane is a strikingly handsome perennial plant that may grow to ten feet in height. It is native to Eurasia, but is now cultivated and also grows wild along roadsides and waste places in temperate regions everywhere. Elecampane was probably brought to North America for its widely held reputation as an effective remedy for the skin diseases of sheep and horses (hence, its common names, Horseheal and Scabwort). It is found eastward of Minnesota and Missouri and northward from North Carolina into Canada. One of the most important herbs to the ancient Greeks and Romans as a medicine and condiment, Elecampane was regarded as almost a cure-all for ailments as diverse as dropsy, asthma, bronchitis, melancholy, menstrual disorders and digestive upsets (Horace relates how the Romans took Inula for indigestion after dining too richly). Galen recommended its use for sciatica, and both the Greeks and Romans used it in cold remedies, because it was thought to promote sweating and help bring up phlegm. Its botanical specific, helenium, appears to be a Latin corruption of the Greek, helenion, and is said to be named after Helen of Troy, because she was thought to be gathering Elecampane when abducted by Paris. The name Elecampane is said to be a corruption of ''enula campana,'' so-called because the herb was found growing wild in Campania. The rootstock has been used for centuries in herbal medicine, being a common remedy for respiratory and digestive illnesses in the Middle Ages, and was even incorporated into a medieval digestive wine called Potio Paulin |

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.

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: Bird's Foot, Greek Hayseed, Trigonella ''The greatest medical discovery since the dawn of history'' is how the makers of Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable Compound described their Fenugreek-rich remedy for ''female complaints'' in 1875. Fenugreek's value in herbal medicine is still respected today, and it continues to be a wonderful way to soothe the stomach and gastrointestinal tract and also clear the body of accumulated mucus. History: Fenugreek is a tender, erect annual with three-part leaves and pea-like flowers that grows in fertile, well-drained, alkaline soil in full sun. It reaches a height of less than three feet and has a sweet hay scent when dried. A native of the Mediterranean area, the seeds have been used for thousands of years for medicinal purposes. It is one of the oldest known medicinal plants and dates back to ancient Egypt, where archaeological evidence suggests that Egyptians used it as a food, as a medicine and in their embalming process. Likewise, the Greeks and Romans considered it a valuable food and medicine and used it to remedy sore throats and colds and also considered it an effective aphrodisiac. The Romans gave Fenugreek its botanical specific, foenum-graecum, which is Latin for ''Greek hay,'' as it was a well-known fodder crop for animals. Fenugreek has been cultivated for medicinal use in China, India, Morocco and Turkey, where seeds have been used as a potent antioxidant with beneficial effects on the liver and pancreas. In India, the spicy seed is included in curry powder and the shoots curried as a vegetable. Fenugreek is also used as a bright yellow dye.
