It has an old reputation as a woman's friend that helps to tone the uterine muscles (particularly valuable during labor and delivery and recovery after birth). Moreover, Red Raspberry is said to provide relief for heavy cramping and excessive bleeding during menstruation. History: Red Raspberry is a deciduous bramble with perennial roots, native to many parts of Europe, but has wide distribution from the polar regions down through temperate North America, Europe and Asia, following higher elevations as it reaches the more southerly latitudes. Red Raspberry is a shrub with erect, spiny, woody, thorny stems (called canes) that bear irregularly-toothed, pale green leaves and pretty white flowers, followed by deep red fruit, and it may grow to a height of six feet. The berries are edible and highly nutritious, with a delicate, complex flavor. The brambles may be found growing wild in dry or moist woods, thickets, untended fields and roadsides, but prefers moist, slightly-acid, well-drained loam, rich in humus, in full sun or partial shade. Fossil evidence shows that Raspberries were part of the human diet from very early times, and their presence is noted as both a food and part of herbal medicine in the ancient writings of the Greeks, including Aeschylus (c.525-456 B.C.), and the physician, Hippocrates (460-357 B.C.). The Romans used Red Raspberry to treat sore mouths and inflammation of the bowel, and it was mentioned in the works of Propertius (c.50-16 B.C.). The leaves, bark and fruits are employed herbal medicine. It is said that early settlers brought Red Raspberry with them, but there was already a hardier variety growing in North America, where several Native Americans were using it as a food and in herbal remedies. Red Raspberry has been included for hundreds of years in folk medicine as an astringent and women's aid and was considered important enough to be listed in the United States Pha |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Chinese Red Yeast Rice, Red Rice, Fermented Rice, Red Yeast, Anka, Ankak, Hung-Chu, Hongu, Red Koji, Red Leaven The use of Red Yeast Rice as a treatment for colic, diarrhea, digestive disorders and poor circulation may be traced back to the Tang Dynasty in China; and throughout Asia, it is an important traditional food. More importantly, however, is its recent introduction in Western society as a supplement that may significantly reduce serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. History: Red Yeast Rice is the product of fermentation of rice with various strains of the yeast (Monascus purpureus), and it has been utilized for centuries in China and throughout Asia as both a food and herbal medicine. The traditional method of making Red Yeast Rice is to ferment the yeast naturally on a bed of cooked, non-glutinous, whole rice kernels. The brick-red yeast that grows on rice yields a family of ten different statin compounds, lovastatin among them. It was apparently first noted as a medicine during the Tang Dynasty (A.D. 618-917) and employed for treating indigestion, diarrhea, congestion of the spleen and for improving blood circulation, among other applications. Red Yeast Rice was introduced to Taiwan by winemakers in Fukien, China, about a century ago and became popular in the preparation of foods, including fish, meat, rice wine (fu chiu), red soybean curd and pickled vegetables. It was (and still is) employed as a coloring agent and is also said to add flavor to foods and wines. The fungus, Monascus, which has been isolated from Red Yeast Rice, was introduced into Western society by Dutch scientists who noted its beneficial effects on the people of Java in 1884. It was introduced into the United States during the latter half of the 1990s as a dietary supplement for the promotion of healthy serum lipid levels. The botanical specifics, purpureus and rubus, are a recognition of the herb's purple or moderate rose/red coloration. Some of the consitituents in Red Yeast Rice include starch, protein, fiber, fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, linolenic, palmitic, ste |

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. Rhubarb Root is an ancient and gentle, but extremely effective, laxative. It supports good colon health by cleansing it and treating constipation, and in smaller doses, its astringents have eased diarrhea, bleeding and hemorrhoids. Rhubarb Root is considered a wonderful cleanser for the intestines, bowels, liver and blood, helping to rid the system of accumulated toxins. It is also an antimicrobial, antibacterial, antibiotic and antiviral, and it may even help to improve your digestion. History: Rhubarb Root is a leafy, hardy perennial that is one of many species native to the cool mountains and high plateaus of western and northwestern China, India, Tibet, Russia and Turkey, that have been used in Asia for their laxative properties as far back as the Han Dynasty (206 B.C.- A.D.23). Rhubarb occurs in commerce under various names (Russian, Turkey, East Indian and Chinese), but the general geographical origin of all species is the same; the commercial names simply refer to the route by which the herb was formerly transported to European markets. The origin of the name of Rhubarb's botanical genus, Rheum, is somewhat vague: Some believe that it is derived from the Latin words, Rha Babrum, an ancient name for the Volga River, where the plant grew in profusion; others claim that it comes to us from the Greek word, rheo, which means ''to flow,'' an allusion to the root's purgative properties. In the first century A.D., Dioscorides, the most influential pharmaceutical writer of antiquity, spoke of a root known as rha or rheon, an herb that came from the Bosphorus Strait that separates Europe from Asia. Rhubarb Root was introduced to Europe in 1767, although specimens of another rhubarb species, Rheum palmatum (Turkey Rhubarb/Chinese Rhubarb and similar in activity to Rheum rhaponticum), were cultivated as early as 1762, in the Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh; and in the eighteenth century, cultivation of Rheum palmatum was given preference, but the two are frequently used interchangeably, with only minor variations in chemistry.

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Compass Weed, Old Man, Dew of the Sea, Poplar Plant, Compass Plant, Incensor ''Rosemary helpeth the brain, strengtheneth the memorie, and is very medicinable for the head.'' Roger Hacket, Doctor of Divinity (c. 1607) Rosemary has an old reputation for strengthening the memory and sharpening the senses (including vision). Long used to stimulate circulation to virtually all parts of the body, it enhances good digestion, eases pain and nervous anxiety, and may even help restore the look and glow of youth. History: Rosemary is a tender, aromatic evergreen that is highly ornamental and may be trained into topiary shapes. It is a perennial shrub that generally grows from three to six feet in height, with new varieties reaching eight feet, and it thrives in light, well-drained, neutral-to-alkaline soil in sun, but does require shelter in cold areas. Since it is attractive and tolerates some degree of drought, it is also used in landscaping, especially in areas having a Mediterranean climate. It can, in fact, die in over-watered soil, but is otherwise quite easy to grow for beginner gardeners, and it is very pest-resistant. Its botanical genus, Rosmarinus, is derived from the Latin, ros, meaning ''dew'' and marinus, meaning ''of the sea,'' since it was found in abundance near seashores. Rosemary has been used since ancient times as a symbol of friendship, loyalty and remembrance, and it was traditionally carried by mourners at funerals and brides during their weddings. Greek scholars wore garlands of Rosemary when taking examinations to improve their memory and concentration, a use echoed to this day. In the thirteenth century, Queen Elisabeth of Hungary claimed that at seventy-two years of age and crippled with gout and rheumatism, she had regained her beauty and strength by using Hungary Water (Rosemary), and the King of Poland even proposed marriage to her!

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Garden Rue, Countryman's Treacle, German Rue, Herb-of-Grace, Herbygrass, Vinruta, Ruta Herba, Common Rue ''...there's Rue for you; and here's some for me: we may call it Herb-Grace o' Sundays: O you must wear your Rue with a difference...'' spoken by Ophelia in William Shakespeare's Hamlet Although long used to treat many ailments, you might wish to try Rue for the relief of nervous spasms, painful cramps, menstrual pain and headache. It is also said to ease the discomforts of indigestion, colic and flatulence, and because Rue contains powerful rutin (a bioflavonoid that strengthens capillaries), it is not only used to enhance eyesight, but it is also believed to improve cardiovascular health by stimulating circulation through stronger blood vessels. History: Rue is a hardy, somewhat shrubby (sub-shrub), evergreen perennial that may grow to three feet in height in full sun (but will tolerate light shade) in well-drained, alkaline soil. The soil may be poor and suitable only for the hardiest plants. Rue bears erect, branching stems and aromatic blue-green leaves, yellow flowers with green centers that emit a powerful, disagreeable odor, and an exceedingly bitter, acrid and nauseous taste. The plant is native to the Mediterannean regions of southern Europe, western Asia and northern Africa and has been naturalized throughout Europe and North America, where it is cultivated in gardens (it is one of the oldest garden plants grown for medicinal purposes). Rue has also escaped from gardens and may be found growing wild in pastures, roadsides, waste place and abandoned lots. The botanical genus, Ruta, is derived from the Greek word, reuo, which means ''to set free,'' because this herb is so effective in treating various diseases. Hippocrates noted that Rue was the main component in ''mithridate,'' a Greek all-purpose antidote for poisons, and the Greeks also regarded it as a powerful anti-magical herb, because it remedied the nervous indigestion attributed to witchcraft. The Romans introduced Rue throughout Europe, as the plant had already been recognized as medicinally sound for more than |

Other common names: Common Sage, Garden Sage, Kitchen Sage, Scarlet Sage, Dalmatian Sage, Meadow Sage, True Sage ''Why should a man die whilst Sage grows in his garden, if not because nothing can stand against death?'' - attributed to Hildegard of Bingen, 12th century naturalist, philosopher, physician A staple in your kitchen cabinet, don't forget Sage as an herbal way to good health! Its medicinal uses abound, including its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and anti-ageing qualities. Improve your memory; calm your digestive and nervous systems with Sage. History: Sage is an evergreen shrub with a distinctive fragrance that may grow to a height of almost three feet, and it thrives in rich, well-drained soil in sunny locations. It is native to the Mediterranean region and was introduced to North America in the seventeenth century, where it continues to grow throughout the temperate regions. Sage is a member of the multi-species Salvia genus, and despite the fact that any herb of this genus may be called Sage, there are significant differences in medicinal components in the tops and roots that influence their uses. Salvia officinalis (Garden Sage) and Salvia miltiorrheza (Salvia Root/Red Root Sage) are in no way similar to another member of the Sage genus, Salvia divinorum, which is a dangerous psychoactive plant and subject to regulation as a controlled substance under several states’ drug regulation statutes. In an 1833 publication, Russian botanist, Alexander von Bunge (1803-1890), gave the plant its botanical genus, Salvia, which is translated from the Latin word, salvere, meaning ''to save'' or ''to cure,'' as Sage enjoyed the reputation of being able to cure a multitude of ills, and many varieties of Sage possess virtually all the same properties. The Romans, who named this robust herb, held it in the highest regard and thought it to be the herbal savior of mankind. Those ancients considered it a sacred herb and believed that its growth in one's garden would promote immortality.

Other common names: Goatweed, Hypericum, Amber, Witches' Wort, Klamath Weed, St. Joan's Wort, Common St. John's Wort, Tipton's Weed, God's Wonder Plant St. John's Wort is powerful natural medicine for temporary depression. 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 an old native American remedy for the aches and pains of arthritis, sore joints and rheumatism, as well as an aid to breathing while hunting or carrying heavy loads. Its aspirin-like qualities also help to relieve headaches, muscle inflammation, carpal tunnel syndrome and colds. *These common names should not be confused with another herb of the madder (rubiaceae) family, Mitchella repens, which is also commonly called Checkerberry, Deerberry, Partridgeberry, Squawberry, Squaw Vine and Mitchella. Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) is an entirely different plant of a different genus with different therapeutic applications. 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.

Cold Milled Flax seeds, 15oz: W
Description: Certified-organic flax seeds carefully chosen for nutritional value and taste. Cold milling chops the seed without heating the mill blades, so the essential fatty acids remain intact. The flax is not crushed, so the precious oil is retained. Vacuum-packed in 1 lb. lined, resealable foil bag to retain freshness. Flax seeds offer both lignans and essential fatty acids (EFA's). EFA's are essential for maintaining good health by acting as building blocks in cell membranes and aiding in the production of hormone-like substances that are necessary for energy metabolism.* Flax seed also contains high concentrations of lignans, making it the richest available source.
