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 |

Juniper Berry promotes urine flow and helps to clear the kidneys, bladder and prostate of toxic wastes, while at the same time helping to combat urinary infections in both men and women. Well-known in the kitchen and as a flavoring for gin, Juniper Berry's warm, aromatic qualities aid digestion and also help to relieve gout, arthritis and painful joints. History: The common Juniper is a bitter, aromatic, prickly bush or tree that thrives in most soils, tolerating both acid and alkaline soils and dry and wet conditions, in sun or partial shade and often in exposed positions. Juniper encompasses many species and is usually a low-growing, ornamental shrub that rises to a height of six or eight feet, but it may also grow as a tree to a height of thirty feet. It is a slow-growing, coniferous evergreen with silvery green, spiny needles, flowers and berries, which take up to three years to ripen. Both male and female plants are necessary for berry production, and Juniper is cultivated for the slightly resinous, sweet-flavored berries that are borne only on the female bush. Junipers are widely distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere, and the berries are used for medicinal and commercial purposes. It is said that the flavor of the berries is stronger the farther south the plant is grown, and Juniper is a rare and endangered species in some states of the United States. The use of Juniper goes back many centuries. In the Middle Ages, the scent of Juniper was believed to ward off plague, contagious diseases and leprosy. For hundreds of years, Juniper Berry has been (and still is) an herbal remedy for urinary tract problems, including urine retention and gallstones and is an old folk remedy for gout. In the 1500s, a Dutch pharmacist used Juniper Berries to create a new, inexpensive diuretic drink that he called gin, which was not only used for medicinal purposes, but its delightful juniper-flavor (and other obvious enjoyments) became a very popular beverage.

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: Loveroot, Love Parsley, Wild Celery, Old English Lovage, Italian Lovage, Cornish Lovage, European Lovage, Lovose, Sea Parsley, Common Lovage, Cajoler's Weed, Maggi Plant, Smellage, Levisticum, Maggiwurzel, Sauerkrautwurz Lovage is primarily used as a diuretic that helps relieve difficult urinary problems, clear gravel and stones from the kidneys and eliminate excess retained water. It is also a bittersweet aromatic that is used to relieve colic, indigestion and flatulence. It will even sweeten your breath! History: Lovage is a native of the Mediterranean region of southern Europe and Asia Minor and grows both wild and cultivated throughout Europe. It has also been introduced into Great Britain and later into North America (where American Lovage, Levisticum officinale, is used in the same manner as its European cousin). There is even a Scottish species of Lovage (Ligusticum scoticum) called siunas, which translates from Gaelic as ''growing in the storm.'' Lovage grows in gardens, meadows and hedgerows. It is a true perennial and appears as a stout plant with a thick, grayish-brown, fleshy root that grows about six inches into the ground and is shaped like a carrot. The thick, hollow, erect stems grow to about six feet in height and produce large, dark green, radical leaves, which are divided into wedge-like segments, not unlike those of celery. When bruised, the surface emits an aromatic odor, again, somewhat evocative of celery or angelica. In the summer the plant bears pale yellow flowers, followed by small, yellowish-brown, extremely aromatic fruits. The odor of the whole plant is very strong, and its taste is warm and aromatic and abounds with a yellowish, gummy, resinous juice. The plant thrives best in rich, moist, well-drained soil in a sunny situation, and the entire plant is used for medicinal purposes. The name, Lovage, is said to be derived from two Latin words, Levisticum and Ligusticum (two botanical names for the genus), meaning Ligurian, because the herb flourished in ancient times in Liguria, a region that includes the Italian Riviera.

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Sweet Marjoram, Knotted Marjoram, Marjorana hortensis, Majorana hortensis Marjoram Leaf is an aromatic tonic (and important condiment) that is a pleasant means to good digestion. It eases colic, sour stomach, stomach pains and menstrual cramps and is also an effective expectorant that loosens phlegm in the lungs and alleviates sinus headache, bronchitis, dry coughs and the symptoms of colds and flu. Marjoram is also a natural disinfectant, anti-inflammatory, antifungal and antioxidant that effectively relieves pains and aches. History: Sweet Marjoram is a half-hardy annual that is native to southern Europe (probably Portugal) and can be found in North Africa, the Balkans and the Middle East, and it has also been introduced throughout Europe and into North America. Sweet Marjoram Leaf has a more delicate flavor than its close cousin, Origanum vulgare (oregano or wild marjoram), and possesses very similar medicinal properties, often being used in a similar manner. Sweet Marjoram is even sometimes confused with it. Marjoram Leaf is a bushy plant with small, dark green leaves and flowers that resemble little knots, hence, one of its common names, Knotted Marjoram. The plant generally reaches about one foot in height, thriving in well-drained-to-dry, neutral-to-alkaline soil in full sun. The Greeks gave us its botanical genus, Origanum, which is derived from oros and ganos , meaning ''joy of the mountain,'' and those traveling through Greece will find it (and wild Marjoram) covering the hillsides and scenting the summer air. Legend tells us that sweet Marjoram was created by Aphrodite as a symbol of happiness, and bridal couples in Greece and Rome were crowned with its garlands to ensure a happy marriage. This highly fragrant herb was also placed on tombs to give peace to departed spirits. In ancient Greece Marjoram was used in oils to massage into the skin to relieve pain, and Aristotle recommended it as an antidote for poisoning, claiming that tortoises swallowing a snake would immediately eat wild Marjoram as an antidote to prevent death.

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: Sweet Clover, White Melilot, King's Clover, White Sweet Clover, Yellow Sweet Clover, Hay Flowers, Sweet Lucerne, Wild Laburnum, Hart's Tree, Plaster Clover Melilot is considered a natural anticoagulant (its main active constituent is coumarin!) with blood thinning properties that may be very helpful as a venous tonic, improving the flow of blood through the veins to the heart and may thus relieve varicose veins and swollen legs. Melilot also helps to clear congestion, reduce retained fluid and ease aching and painful joints. History: Melilot is an erect annual or bienniall herb with smooth, multi-branched stems, bearing serrate leaflets and sweet-smelling, white or light yellow flowers that grow in towering spikes to a height of five feet. The tender plant is a native of Europe and has been naturalized across North America, brought to the United States in the late 1600s, and still used today as a valuable forage crop for animals and soil enhancer predominantly in the Great Plains and Upper Midwest. Melilot may be found on roadsides and in fields, waste places and chalky banks in well-drained-to-dry, neutral-to-alkaline soil in sun and is drought tolerant. The species, Melilotus vulgaris, Melilotus alba (White Sweet Clover) and Melilotus officinalis (Yellow Sweet Clover) may be used interchangeably in herbal medicine. The plant's botanical genus, Melilotus, is derived from two Latin words, mel, meaning ''honey'' and lotus, meaning the ''lotus flower,'' referring to the great sweetness of the plant and the fact that it is such a great favorite of bees. Melilot has been used medicinally for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians used it to treat intestinal worms and earache, and the second-century physician, Galen, prescribed it in poultices for the relief of inflammations and swollen joints. In Anglo-Saxon England, Melilot was made into a salve for wounds and sores, a remedy that may still be found in rural British areas as ''Melilot Plasters.'' Horses, cattle (and bees) love the tender and aromatic Melilot, and it is highly regarded as a fodder. Interestingly, howev |

Other common names: Pride of India, Azadirachta, Nim, Margosa, Holy Tree, Indian Lilac Tree, Bead Tree Neem Leaf is said to be India's best-kept secret, and for thousands of years this ''Pride of India'' has treated more than one hundred health problems! It is said to be one of the most important detoxicants in Ayurvedic medicine and is also believed to be a potent antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial and parasiticide that combats infections of all kinds. In addition, Neem is used to facilitate digestion, support heart health, improve the urinary tract and treat fevers and pain. Important, new research claims that Neem will help diabetics and combat invasive disease. History: Neem Leaf comes from the luxuriant Neem tree that is a native of India, where five-thousand-year-old seals, bearing the Neem tree, were excavated from the Indus Valley Civilization. It has also been widely cultivated and naturalized in the West Indies and southern United States. The thick trunk produces spreading branches that bear alternate, broad, bipinnate, dark-green leaves that can be three feet long, and numerous leaflets. This attractive evergreen also produces purplish, honey-scented, fragrant flowers, which grow in long panicles and bloom in early spring, and an olive-like fruit. The Neem tree grows widely throughout India, often reaching over one hundred feet in height, and it has been revered as the symbol of health in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. Neem was mentioned in many ancient texts, including the Charaka Samhita, and today, Indian medical authorities place Neem at the pinnacle of their pharmacopoeia as a treatment for a wide array of diseases and complaints, ranging from leprosy and diabetes to ulcers, skin disorders and constipation. Historically, Neem has been used by herbalists in Southeast Asia for hundreds of years to reduce tumors. Modern researchers are now studying its use internally for lymphocytic cancer; and scientists in India, Europe and Japan have found that the polysaccharides and liminoids in Neem may reduce tumors and cancers and have been effective against lymphocytic leukem |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Papaw, Mamao, Paw-Paw, Tree Melon, Gandul, Fan Kua Papaya Leaf contains a remarkable protein-dissolving enzyme called papain, and if you suffer from indigestion or heartburn, give Papaya Leaf a try! The enzyme in Papaya Leaf also breaks down wheat gluten and carbohydrates for extra digestive protection. History: Papaya is an herbaceous tree with a stem of spongy, soft wood that is hollow in the center and bears melon-like fruit. It is an interesting tree, in that the male and female parts exist in different trees, and trees may grow to a height of twenty to thirty feet. The Papaya Tree needs a tropical climate that is dry when cold and wet when warm; consequently, its greatest success appears in the equatorial zone with its warm wet season and cool dry season. It is extremely sensitive to frost, and water-logging will kill the taproot within forty-eight hours. The Papaya is especially susceptible to parasites, pests and diseases. This fussy plant needs a lot of water but must have good drainage, and it bears most fruit in light, porous, slightly acidic soils that are rich in organic matter. Said to be a native of the Caribbean and Central America, the Papaya is the true papaw that now grows abundantly throughout tropical America, Hawaii and many other tropical climates throughout the world. Although grown to some extent in south Florida, the true papaw is not related to the North American papaw. The fruits, leaves and latex are all used medicinally. The delicious fruit is usually pear-sized and has a central cavity filled with edible, pea-sized seeds. Generally, the fruit is melon-like, oval to nearly round, and the skin is waxy and thin but fairly tough. As the fruit ripens, it becomes yellow externally, and the thick wall of flesh becomes aromatic, yellow, orange or various shades of red. Papaya Fruit is eaten as a melon, included in salads and when unripe, it is cooked as a vegetable. The seeds are said to have a similar flavor as capers. The green fruit, stems and leaves are a rich source of a gummy, milky, white latex that contains the powerful enzyme, papain (in latex |

Don't forget to take Parsley for a healthy dose of vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Its rich chlorophyll content makes it a wonderful breath freshener. History: Parsley is a biennial or perennial herb that originated in the eastern Mediterranean region as a wild plant, but is now found in cultivation everywhere. The leaves are dark green and shiny and packed with nutrition. For more than two thousand years, it has been highly regarded as a medicinal herb to treat gastrointestinal disorders, and ancient Greeks also valued Parsley for its soothing and diuretic effect on those with kidney and bladder ailments. Galen even recommended Parsley for ''the falling sickness'' (epilepsy), and the Greeks also adorned victors at the Isthmian games with wreaths of Parsley Leaves. Used as a tomb decoration in ancient Greece and Rome, Parsley was thought to possess magical powers and was also associated with the underworld and death. In one legendary Greek myth, King Lycurgus's son, Opheltes, was left for a short time by his nurse who pointed out the location of a spring to thirsty soldiers. When she returned, the child had been killed by a snake, and Amphiarus, the seer and soldier who viewed the incident, said it was a bad omen and correctly predicted his own death in the upcoming battle. He gave Opheltes the surname, Archemorus, meaning ''the first to die,'' and the child became the symbol of impending death. From his blood the first Parsley plants were said to have sprung. What is now an indispensable and nutritious addition to our dinner table was never brought to the table of old, being held sacred to the dead, and it continued to be associated with death through the ages.

Sometimes called the ''Miracle Bark from South America,'' its therapeutic uses are somewhat controversial, but it is considered a powerful antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic, and that's just the beginning! History: Pau D'Arco is an evergreen of the Amazon rain forest, but it is also deciduous when it grows in higher and colder locations. It is a tropical tree, native to South and Central America, and although it grows to a height of one hundred feet, it may start out as a vine. The tree grows in well-drained, fertile soil in sunny, warm, tropical climates. The wood and inner bark are used for medicinal purposes, and the lumber (known as lapacho) is highly valued in cabinetmaking. Pau D'Arco may flower in a number of colors, but the roxa (red, magenta, crimson and violet) varieties are used the most in herbal medicine, and the best quality is said to come from Argentina (where it is used extensively by the Callaway tribe). Pau D'Arco has a long folk history of use in the treatment of infections and cancers, and many South American Indian societies have used it for centuries to treat cancer, infectious diseases and wounds, and to enhance energy and endurance. They also introduced Pau D'Arco to the early Portuguese settlers of Brazil to treat schistosomiasis, a tropical disease brought on by flatworm, and modern science does support those antimicrobial properties. Its ancient and current use in South America as a treatment for malignant diseases (mostly blood and skin) is highly controversial, but the National Cancer Institute does not recognize it as a viable treatment, because the high levels required to be effective in may cause many undesirable side effects. Although the Argentine government dispenses the herb free of charge to cancer and leukemia patients, the government of Brazil disavows its efficacy for s |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Pea Fiber supplements are a simple way to supply our diets with both soluble and insoluble natural fiber. A fiber rich diet is thought to provide many healthful benefits, including gastrointestinal well-being, proper bowel function (including relief for constipation and diverticulosis) and may also reduce our risk of colon cancer, heart disease and diabetes. History: The modern garden pea is thought to be descended from the field pea that was indigenous to central Asia and Europe, and has been consumed as a healthy dietary addition for thousands of years. Peas are considered legumes, plants that bear fruit in the form of pods, enclosing the fleshy seeds, and are one of the few members of the legume family that are sold and cooked as fresh vegetables. It is interesting to note that high-fiber foods are mostly low in calories and inexpensive. Today, the largest commercial producers of fresh peas are the United States, Great Britain, China, Hungary and India. Peas provide one of the highest sources of natural soluble and insoluble dietary fibers known, and since the National Cancer Institute suggests that dietary fiber can be protective against some cancer, taking Pea Fiber supplements may provide the fiber that is lacking in our regular diets. Americans generally consume ten grams of fiber per day, and the National Cancer Institute recommends at least twenty grams daily. Fiber isn't a miracle food, but adding fiber to your diet may provide surprising and wonderful health benefits. Beneficial Uses: Pea Fiber may help to improve cardiovascular health by reducing cholesterol. Fiber is credited with helping to lower bad cholesterol levels in the blood and may thus help to reduce the risk of heart disease. Studies of high-fiber diets have shown dramatic benefits provided by high-fiber foods. In one study, two groups of people were fed different amounts of high-fiber foods. The high-fiber group reduced their total cholesterol by nearly seven percent, their triglyceride levels by over ten percent and their VLDL (Very Low Density Lipoprotein, the most dangerous form of cholesterol) by over twelve percent.

Other common names: Mint, Balm Mint, Curled Mint, Lamb Mint, Brandy Mint For indigestion, bad breath, flatulence and hiccups, try Peppermint! It is one of nature's oldest and best-tasting home remedies for gas, nausea, heartburn, stomachaches and digestive problems. No home medicine cabinet should be without it! History: Plants of the genus mentha are so numerous that it is sometimes difficult to distinguish the origins within the species, but mint has been known and appreciated since antiquity. Its name is derived from the name of a nymph, Minthe, who was seduced by Pluto, the ruler of the underworld, and whom the jealous Persephone turned into a lowly plant to be trodden underfoot. Pluto then turned her into a seedling (mint), knowing that people would appreciate her fragrance for years to come. 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 (where it is sometimes said to have originated) to other parts of Europe. Medicinal interest in mint dates from the first century A.D., when it was recorded by the Roman naturalist, Pliny. When cultivated, the plant is considered an annual that grows to a height of four feet, but it is long-lived, and if left in the ground, is likely to take over the whole garden in irregular fashion, and so, it may also be considered a perennial when wild. The use of mint as a medicine is mentioned in the Icelandic Pharmacopoeias of the thirteenth century, and in Elizabethan times, more than forty ailments were reported to be remedied by mint. It is interesting to note that a seventeenth-century visitor to New England included mint on a list of plants that had been taken to the New World. However, the herb only appears to have arrived into the popular medicine of Western Europe by the eighteenth century. Peppermint is said to be a hybrid of watermint and spearmint that was first cultivated near London in 1750, and although native to Europe, Peppermint is now cultivated throughout most of temperate North America and similar regions in other parts of the world, wit |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Greater Plantain, Common Plantain, Ripple Grass, Cuckoo's Head, Rat-tail Plantain, Englishman's Foot, White Man's Foot, Ribwort, Waybread, Waybroad, Snake Weed, Broad-leaved Plantain, Dooryard Plantain Common Plantain, like all members of the plantago family, contains a high amount of mucilage, which soothes and cools mucous membranes, while at the same time its astringency helps to relieve diarrhea, excess menstrual flow, hemorrhoids and incontinence in children and adults. It is also used to soothe the lungs while effectively loosening and expelling phlegm and congestion. Plantain also helps to control vaginal and other types of infection, remove obstructions from the liver, kidney and bladder, and possibly help in managing weight control. ''...wherever the English have taken possession of the soil, the Plantain springs up.'' from Longfellow's ''Hiawatha'' History: Plantain is an annual or perennial plant that is native to Eurasia and introduced to the New World by early settlers. The plant has been naturalized throughout temperate North America and may be found wild in fields, roadsides, lawns and waste places, thriving in well-drained soil in full sun and grows from one to two feet in height. Plantain produces a radial rosette of broad, oval leaves and a few densely flowered spikes of greenish-white to greenish-brown flowers that bloom from April to October. It is frequently called a common weed that will take over a lawn, destroying and replacing the grass that originally occupied the site, but it has been greatly valued since antiquity for it medicinal qualities. It grows better than most other plants in compacted soils, and is wind-pollinated and propagates primarily by seeds, which are held on the long, narrow spikes that rise above the foliage. The standard native English name is Greater Plantain, though it is also called Common Plantain in some areas where it is introduced, particularly North America. It was one of the nine sacred herbs mentioned in the Lacnunga, the most ancient source of Anglo-Saxon medicine, where it was called ''The Mother of Herbs.' |
