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. Some of Fenugreek's chemical constituents include mucilage, diosgenin, coumarin, protein, lecithin, gum, beta-carotene, amino (4-hydroxyisoleucine, histidine, lysine, arginine) and other acids, high fiber, saponins (graecunins, fenugrin-B, fenugreekine, trigofoenosides A-G), lipids, steroidal sapinogens (yamogenin, diosgenin, smilagenin, sarsasapogenine, tigogenin, neotigogenin, gitogenin, yuccagenin), essential fatty acids, flavonoids (apigenin, luteolin, orientin, vitexin, quercetin), fo |

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.

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. 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: Konjac, Konjac Root, Snake Plant, Devil's Tongue, Doo Bulbs, Mannan, Konjac, Corpse Flowers, Voodoo Lily, Snake Palm Glucomannan is a calorie-free, natural plant fiber that removes fat from the colon wall and gently helps to cleanse the intestines and relieve constipation. It also increases bulk in the stomach (and intestines) and gives dieters a feeling of fullness, which helps to reduce the appetite and assist in weight loss programs. Glucomannan fiber may also be beneficial in lowering total cholesterol and regulating blood sugar levels. We need fiber in our diets every day for good health, and Glucomannan supplements are an easy way to fulfill that need. History: Glucomannan is an excellent, natural dietary fiber that picks up and removes fat from the colon wall, and it is derived from the starchy tuber of the amorphophallis plant, which is sometimes also called the konjac plant. It is a perennial that is native to Asia, mostly China and Japan and also grown in Korea. Each plant produces one large tuberous root (generally over ten pounds in weight) that resembles a beet, and puts up a thick stem with one enormous leaf and one evil-smelling flower or spadix, which is pollinated by flies. The bark of the plant has the appearance of snakeskin, which has given rise to one of its common names, Snake Plant, and it may be found in light woodlands or cultivated beds in rich, moist, loamy soils in dappled shade, but will also survive in sun and either acid or alkaline soils. The root produces the excellent dietary fiber that has been used as a nutritious supplement in Oriental foods, such as noodles (shirataki) and tofu, and is also included in the gelling agent, konnyaku, in Japanese cuisine. It is considered a health food in Japan that is used to maintain healthy intestinal function. An interesting side-story tells us that Konjac powder was added to the first national currency of Japan in the late 1800s to prevent counterfeiting, but it was stopped after rats began to eat the bills. Glucomannan forms a thick, gooey gel when exposed to fluids and results in a soft mass that |

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: French Lilac, French Honeysuckle, Italian Fitch, ''Pestilenzkraut'' Goat's Rue had been used for centuries to lower fevers and expel worms, but later research discovered that the herb also had the ability to increase milk production and encourage breast development. Moreover, Goat's Rue is apparently able to reduce blood sugar levels and may be very helpful in cases of late-onset diabetes. History: Goat's Rue is a hardy perennial that is native to southern Europe and western Asia and cultivated in both Europe and the United States as an ornamental in gardens and also for medicinal purposes. The thick, spreading root system sends up a bushy growth of many hollow stems bearing leaves and profusely-flowering spikes of pea-like, lilac-to-pink-to-white blooms from June to September. The plant thrives in deep, moist, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade and grows to a height of about three feet. The herb has no fragrance unless bruised, and then it emits a disagreeable odor; hence, the name Goat's Rue. Since ancient times, Goat's Rue has been used in herbal medicines, mostly as a galactagogue, or substance that helps to promote milk production, and in 1873, French physicians found that livestock fed with Goat's Rue increased their milk yield by thirty-five to fifty percent. Because of the herb's diaphoretic properties, it was considered an important treatment for reducing fevers, particularly those associated with plague and infectious diseases; hence, the plant received its German name, ''Pestilenzkraut.'' In Hill's Universal Herbal of 1832, a tea made of the leaves was said to ''excite sweating'' and be ''good in fevers,'' and this mucilaginous, astringent and bitter herb was included in the National Formulary IV attached to the United States Pharmacopoeia. Some of the constituents in Goat's Rue include tannins, a bitter principle, flavonoids, glycosides, galegin and saponins. Beneficial Uses: Goat's Rue has been known for centuries as a diaphoretic, or agent that produces perspiration and sweating. As a result, it helps to reduce fevers and cool the body, as well as |

Other common names: European Goldenrod, Yellow Weed, Woundweed, Blue Mountain Tea, Aaron's Rod, Sweet Goldenrod, Canada Goldenrod, Liberty Tea, Solidago, Goldruthe, Verge d'Or Goldenrod is used to flush impurities from the kidneys, bladder and urinary tract, helping to treat urinary inflammation and infection (cystitis, urethritis, vaginitis) and clearing kidney stones and gravel. It also helps to thin and expel mucus and congestion from the upper respiratory tract and help coughs of colds and flu. History: Goldenrod is a perennial that encompasses a multitude of species (there are over 130 varieties in North America alone!), with some that are native to Europe (S. vigaurea, et al) and others that are indigenous to North America, (S. canadensis, et al), and many are distributed throughout Europe, the Americas, northwest and central Asia and North Africa. The attractive plant generally bears narrow, deep green leaves that smell like anise when crushed, with tiny yellow flowerheads that grow in clusters on the upper ends of outstretched branches, blooming from June to September. Goldenrod may be found in open fields, waste places and on forest margins, thriving in well-drained, moisture-retentive soil in sun or partial shade and reaching a height anywhere from two to seven feet, depending upon geographic location and species. The different species are generally interchangeable with similar medicinal applications. Several species count among the U.S. state flowers, i.e., Kentucky, Nebraska, the state wildflower of South Carolina and the state herb of Delaware. The flowers attract many different beneficial insects, such as lacewings and ladybugs, which are effective in controlling pests, especially aphids, and the leaves and flowering tops are harvested before the flowers are fully opened, then dried for use in herbal medicines. Goldenrod's botanical genus, Solidago, is derived from the Latin word, solidare, which means ''to make whole, firm or strong,'' echoing the plant's historic use as a bitter, astringent and relaxant herb that treated many ailments.

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Bell Pepper, Sweet Pepper Green Pepper is an extraordinary source of vitamin C, which is essential to healthy bodily function. Since the body cannot manufacture its own source, it must be supplied from our diets, and Green Pepper contains more vitamin C than citrus fruits. Try Green Pepper to help fight illness, build immunity and improve digestion. History: The Green Pepper is a variable annual or short-lived perennial that grows to a height of five feet and is native to tropical and sub-tropical zones of Latin America and southern Asia. It is a large fleshy pod of about six inches and contains seeds and will eventually ripen into a sweet red bell pepper. The Green Pepper is a tender, bell pepper, a cultivar group that may be green, red, yellow, orange and, more rarely, white, purple, blue or brown, depending on when they are harvested and the specific cultivar. These peppers contain a recessive gene that eliminates the capsaicin in the fruit meaning that they have none of the ''heat'' that many other varieties of peppers (i.e., capsicum, cayenne) have. Green Peppers are unripe bell peppers, while the others are all ripe, with the color variation based on cultivar selection. Because they are unripe, Green Peppers are less sweet and slightly more bitter than yellow, orange or red. The Green Pepper is somewhat bell shaped with a straightforward, slightly astringent, but sweet, taste and may be eaten raw or cooked as a vegetable. It is a perennial shrub when grown in its native lands, but being frost-sensitive, it is an annual when cultivated outside tropical zones. Green Peppers are cultivated throughout tropical America, especially Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Belgium and the Netherlands. In the United States, California and Florida are the biggest domestic source of the vegetable. The Capsicum genus has been cultivated for thousands of years in tropical Americas (archaeologists found remains of peppers in Mexican sites dating from 7000 B.C.), as well as Africa and India, but legend says that Columbus seems to have been the first European to take conscious note of |

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.

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.

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. Mainly used to cleanse the system and for respirato |

Other common names: Icelandic Moss, Celand Moss, Iceland Lichen, Consumption Moss, Cetraria, Eryngo-leaved Liverworth Iceland Moss is an age-old remedy for all kinds of respiratory ailments, including sore throat, bronchitis, tuberculosis and dry, non-productive coughs. It is a highly nutritious tonic that helps invalids, children and the elderly. Its antiviral, antioxidant and antibiotic properties combat food poisoning and infection, and may help in the management of many serious illnesses. By the way, Iceland Moss is not a moss at all; it is a lichen and can ease many digestive problems as well. History: Iceland Moss, despite its name, is really not a moss at all, but a lichen, consisting of two types of plants (a fungus and an alga). The alga's cells work in close combination with, and are entangled in, the threads of the fungus, forming a scaly growth and living together in a mutually beneficial symbiosis. It is a bittersweet, cooling, antibiotic herb that grows on barren stone ground and tree trunks in cool, damp places in Europe, Great Britain, Iceland and the northern parts of North America and Asia. It rarely fructifies, but the thallus (or body of the plant) is erect, much curled and highly branched with spiny edges. The plant varies in division, in size (generally two to four inches), and in color (from olive green to grayish white and sometimes flecked with red). It is collected wild and propagates on the barks of trees and rocks on an acid substratum, and it must have clean air to thrive. Centuries ago, Iceland Moss became known as a cure for all kinds of respiratory ailments, a use still valid and popular today, with extracts added to antiseptics and lozenges for dry coughs and sore throats. Some early research holds exciting and promising new uses for Iceland Moss in the areas of combating serious infection. Several constituents in Iceland Moss include about seventy percent lichen starch, a little sugar, fumaric acid, oxalic acid, cetrarin, licheno-stearic acid, carbohydrates, bitters, many vitamins and minerals and a high mucilage content.

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Pearl Moss, Carrageenan, Red Seaweed, Chondrus, Carrahan, Carragheen, Carrageenin Another highly nutritious and remarkable gift from the sea, Irish Moss soothes mucous membranes and alleviates respiratory ailments, such as bronchitis, dry cough and other lung problems. Like many other bountiful nutrients from the ocean, Irish Moss is a wonderful tonic for maintaining youthful and clear skin and promoting a healthy glow. You may also find it helpful in a weight loss program. History: Irish Moss is a curly, red-purple to yellow-green, cartilaginous alga that appears at low tide on all the shores of the North Atlantic and comes from a genus of about fifteen species of marine algae. It is a perennial thallophyte with a height and spread from three to twelve inches and a disc-shaped holdfast. The plants are collected wild, growing on rocks and stones in pools and shallow saltwater and may be harvested by boat, using a rake (causing minimal damage to the holdfasts) and by hand from the submerged rocks. During the potato famine of the mid-nineteenth century, thousands of beleaguered Irish saved themselves from starvation by eating the humble, bushy seaweed known as Irish Moss. Like all gifts from the sea, Irish Moss is highly nutritive and carries all the positive qualities and rich elements that the oceans possess. One of its common names, Carrageen, is derived from a village in southeastern Ireland where the seaweed is plentiful. It is also found clinging to submerged rocks along the shorelines of Canada, New England, the British Isles and Europe as far south as Portugal. Irish immigrants who found it growing in Canada and on the New England shores were the first to harvest and use it in America, and thus Irish Moss has been an important edible seaweed on both sides of the Atlantic. The entire plant, which is dried and then soaked to swell back to its original bulk, with the liquid turning into a jelly, is used medicinally and for culinary purposes. It is commonly employed as a filler and stretcher of other foods and is eaten as is, or as a thickener for soups and stews. It |
