Maca Root 0.6% Glycosinolides Powdered Extract (Lepidium meyenii) 10 kg (22 lbs): Q
Maca has been called nature's gift to the bedroom - energy and sexual function rolled into one delicious root - you will feel an immediate effect. Maca is a legendary aphrodisiac, impotence remedy and nutrative food-tonic. Our Maca makes a delicious, full-bodied tea. It comes in a loose powder form, and has always been used as a substitute for flour – great in cookie and brownie recipes. It's also delicious as an additive in milk shakes and fruit smoothies. Naturally, it can also be encapsulated. The outstanding benefits include increased energy, enhanced stamina, mental clarity, increased athletic endurance and hormonal balancing. It helps with male and female impotence difficulties, erectile dysfunction, menopause, perimenopause and menstrual symptoms, and it exhibits powerful aphrodisiacal effects. The fertility powers of maca are prized by couples in the Peruvian highlands, where this high-altitude root crop has been used for these purposes for more than 3,000 years. Men and women who fail to conceive a child eat maca on a regular basis until conception occurs. The sweet root contains substantial amounts of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, vitamin B1, B2, B12, C, E, riboflavin, thiamin and ascorbic acid. In 1961, Dr. Gloria Chacon de Popovici, a biologist in Lima, Peru, published her studies when her research scientifically demonstrated the increased fertility in animals using maca. A chemical analysis shows the presence of biologically active aromatics which have unique aphrodisiac properties. Analysis of maca properties indicates that the effects on fertility are a direct result of glucosinolates found in maca. Dr. Chacon discovered the four alkaloids present in maca that are responsible for maca's reputed positive effect on hormonal balancing issues such as hot flashes, memory problems, fatigue, mood swings and male impotence. Women with menstrual irregularities have experienced greater consistency, while women with hot flashes, mood swings and most associated perimenopause and menopause symptoms have diminished dramatically. Men have had substantial improvement with impotence, fatigue, erection stamina and an over all improved general life out look. It's richness in sterols makes it an alternative for anabolic steroids for body builders. Maca is, incredibly, the world's highest altitude food crop. Maca has an exceptionally high food value, the highest of any crop grown by the native Andeans. Its nutritive value resembles that of other cereal grains such as maize, rice and wheat. It has 59% carbohydrates, 10.2% protein, 8.5% fiber and 2.2% lipids. It contains at least five times more protein, four times more fiber and less fat than a potato. It contains two of the three (Linoleic and Oleic) essential fatty acids, 18 amino acids, including seven of the nine essential amino acids. It has a variety of vitamins and minerals, and per U.S. Percentage of Daily Value, is high in copp |

Bayberry Root Bark Powder (Myrica cerifera) 1 lb: C
This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Used as a decoction, extract, tincture and poultice. Bayberry, also called Wax Myrtle, is a valuable astringent in diarrhea and dysentery. It is indicated in mucous colitis. As a gargle it helps sore throats and as a douche it helps in leucorrhoea. It may be used in the treatment of colds. Bayberry root bark contains an antibiotic chemical (myricitrin), which may fight a broad range of bacteria and protozoa. Myricitrin's antibiotic action supports bayberry's traditional use against diarrhea and dysentery. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Astringent and stimulant. In large doses emetic. It is useful in diarrhoea, jaundice, scrofula, etc.' 'Externally, the powdered bark is used as a stimulant to indolent ulcers, though in poultices it should be combined with elm.' 'The decoction is good as a gargle and injection in chronic inflammation of the throat, leucorrhoea, uterine haemorrhage, etc. It is an excellent wash for the gums.' 'The powder is strongly sternutatory [causes sneezing] and excites coughing. Water in which the wax has been 'tried,' when boiled to an extract, is regarded as a certain cure for dysentery, and the wax itself, being astringent and slightly narcotic, is valuable in severe dysentery and internal ulcerations.' Dosages: Of powder, 20 to 30 grains. Of decoction, 1 to 2 fluid ounces. Of alcoholic extract, or Myricin, 5 grains. King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Bayberry bark is astringent and stimulant, and as such is valuable in debilitated conditions of the mucous membranes; in drachm doses, it is apt to occasion emesis.' 'It was largely employed by the followers of Samuel Thomson, in catarrhal states of the alimentary tract. The bark has been successfully employed in scrofula, jaundice, diarrhoea, dysentery, aphthae, and other diseases where astringent stimulants were indicated.' 'The powdered bark, combined with bloodroot, forms an excellent application to indolent ulcers, and has likewise been employed as a snuff for the cure of some forms of nasal polypus. In the form of poultice, with elm or alone, it is a valuable application to scrofulous tumors or ulcers.' 'The decoction is beneficial as a gargle in sore mouth and throat, and is of service in injection, in leucorrhoea and fistula, and also as a wash for ulcers, tinea capitis, etc.' 'It also forms an excellent gum wash for tender, spongy, and bleeding gums.' 'Dose of the powdered bark, from 20 to 30 grains; of the wax, 1 drachm; of the decoction of the leaves or bark, from 2 to 4 fluid ounces; specific myrica, 2 to 20 drops. Bayberry bark was a constituent of 'Thomson's Composition Powder or No. 6.' American Materia Medica, 1919 (Ellingwood): 'It is a remedy for those conditions where the vital powers are at low ebb. It aids the nutrition, stimulating the absorption of food, and promotes the restoration of depraved blood. It is considered a valuable alterativ |

Saffron, Whole, Spanish (Crocus sativus; Hong Hua / Xi Zang) 1/2 oz: K
This is Frontier’s double wall silverfoil pack. Saffron is a colorful and very tasty gourmet spice, a mainstay of many mediterranean diets. The name saffron comes from the Arabic za'faran (yellow) - a sacred color in many traditions. Saffron was chosen by Buddhist monks for their robes. The ancient Greeks also colored their sacred robes with golden saffron. Saffron is a unique, versatile spice, traditionally used with stews, fish, seafood, sweets and pastries. It is also a very strong spice, a little going a long way. Saffron is an ancient favorite in Central Asian and Northern Indian rice, meat and dessert dishes. Safrron mixes well with cinnamon, bay leaves, cardamom, cloves, star anis, peppermint, nutmeg or mace. Water-soluble Saffron is often soaked overnight in water or milk before being added to the recipe. Steep threads for 20 minutes in something acidic such as vinegar or lemon juice, or something alcoholic like wine, in order to extract the full flavor, or finely powder the thread by pounding in a mortar and pestle. 1/2 tsp. of threads makes 1/8 tsp. of powder. 1/2 tsp. of threads is generally enough saffron for most dishes. Saffron is used in all types of foods to add both flavor and a bright yellow color. Filet of Zander with Saffron: http://www.1vacation.com/zandersaffron.html: Ingredients: 2 Kg (4 ½ lbs) Zander (fish) ½ bottle White Wine Bouquet garni Salt, pepper ½ cup Fresh Cream Saffron 2 Eggs 1 Lemon Remove the fillets from zander. Make a stock with the bones and head, a litre of cold water, ½ bottle of white wine, a bouquet garni, rock salt, mignonette pepper. Bring to the boil and reduce to ¾. Remove the scales from the fillets and place them on a buttered baking dish, cover with the fish stock (keep ¼ of the stock to the side). Sprinkle the fillets with a few strands of saffron and add 2 cl fresh cream. Bake in a medium oven for 15 minutes. Infuse 0.2 g of saffron in the remaining fish stock until it colors. Do not boil. Pour this infusion over 2 egg yolks whisked with ½ salted lemon juice and 10 cl of liquid fresh cream, mixing with a spatula until the egg yorks thicken. Serve the zander fillets warm with the saffron strands on top and the sauce apart in a sauceboat, leaving the saffron to rise to the surface. Saffron Cake Recipe: http://www.greenchronicle.com/connies_cornish_kitchen/saffron_cake_recipe.htm: 'Coweth wheg' This is also a well known delicacy in Cornwall. Saffron is usually sold in drachms (1/8 of an ounce) and ½ drachms (1/16 of an ounce) and is very expensive hence the old Cornish saying 'as dear as saffron'. It is believed that the Phoenicians brought saffron over with them when they came to trade for tin. As far as I know Cornwall is one of the only places where saffron is used in this way. 1lb plain flour 6oz butter, margarine or lard 6oz sugar 6oz currants, sultanas 1.5 oz of mixed, diced, candied peel ( lemon or |

Poria Fungus Root 12:1 Powdered Extract (Poria cocos; Hoelen Fungus; Fu Ling) 5 kg (11 lbs): Q
This fungus produces underground mycelial "tubers" of concentrated tissue, called sclerotia, associated with fir tree roots. In Chinese medicine it is one of the most widely used and highly respected herbs as well as a popular food. The superb yin tonic. It is said that it "restores and refreshes the body and mind, and when used regularly will prolong life." It possesses significant amounts of lecithin, polysaccharides and tetracyclic triterpenes with documented immunostimulant, antitumor, and antiviral properties. Used for forgetfulness and to calm the spirit. Mildly sedative, relaxing to the mind; these anxiety relieving effects are credited with lengthening life as much as anything. Poria also was reported to be popular among Imperial concubines. A typical dose is 6–15 grams, with a neutral taste it mixes well with many foods like soups, warm cereals or smoothies. The mushroom Poria cocos (Polyporaceae) is used in approximately 30% of all Kampo (traditional Japanese herbal medicine) formulas. It consists of several pharmacologically active ingredients, including the vitamin D precursor ergosterol and the triterpene pachymic acid. In Kampo, P. cocos is known as bukuryo and is only used in combination with other herbs. To date, little research has been done on this mushroom in isolation. However, extracts have demonstrated the inhibition of tumor promotion, inflammation, induction, and red cell lysis by reactive oxygen species. In clinical use, poria is part of the multi-herb formulas used for enhancing immunocompetence; in treating suidoku (traditional Kampo medicine diagnosis, which roughly translates into ''water overload'') and various women's health issues, and has many more indications. Currently, poria is part of a United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved trial of a non-estrogenic multi-herb formula for the management of menopausal hot flashes. In Japan, 148 Kampo formulas are prescribed by physicians on a regular basis. These are pharmaceutical grade, government-regulated prescription medicines that medical students are taught to prescribe and that are covered by the National Health Service. Some poria-containing formulas are more than 1800 years old. Significant clinical experience and preclinical research exists on the dozens of Poria-containing formulas that are prescribed today. P. cocos is certainly safe for human ingestion. |

Eucalyptus Leaf Whole Cert. Organic (Eucalyptus globulus) 1 lb: K
This is Frontier’s double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. Used as an infusion, decoction, extract, tincture and syrup. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Eucalyptus leaf for 'Catarrhs of the respiratory tract.' 'Contraindications: Inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and the bile ducts; serious liver diseases. Eucalyptus preparations should not be applied to the face, especially the nose, of babies and very young children. Side Effects: In rare cases, after taking eucalyptus preparations nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur. Note: Eucalyptus oil induces the enzyme system of the liver involved in the detoxification process. Therefore, the effects of other drugs can be weakened and/or shortened.' 'Dosage: Internal: Average daily dosage: 4 - 6 g of leaf; equivalent preparations. Tincture (according to Erg. B. 6): Daily dosage 3 - 9 g. Mode of Administration: Chopped leaf for infusions and other galenical preparations for internal and external application. 'Actions: Secretomotory: Expectorant; Weakly antispasmodic.' Eucalyptus leaves are, of course, koala food, the arboreal symbol of Australia, but can now be found in subtropical regions throughout the world. Eucalyptus was also known as Australian fever tree, a reference to its ancient Native Australian usage. The medicinal properties of Eucalyptus reside in its oil, which is extracted from the fresh leaves and branch tips, and is found in the dried leaves. It acts as a decongestant, loosens phlegm, and relieves spasms. Eucalyptus leaves are therefore useful, as a tea or decoction, for bronchitis, cough and colds. Eucalyptus has been shown to be powerfully bacteriocidal in the laboratory. Like the similar soothing agents menthol and camphor, Eucalyptus is found in several familiar over-the-counter remedies, including Listerine Antiseptic Mouthrinse, Mentholatum Cherry Chest Rub, and Vicks VapoRub. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Stimulant, antiseptic, aromatic.' 'The medicinal Eucalyptus Oil is probably the most powerful antiseptic of its class, especially when it is old, as ozone is formed in it on exposure to the air. It has decided disinfectant action, destroying the lower forms of life. Internally, it has the typical actions of a volatile oil in a marked degree.' 'Eucalyptus Oil is used as a stimulant and antiseptic gargle. Locally applied, it impairs sensibility. It increases cardiac action.' 'Its antiseptic properties confer some antimalarial action, though it cannot take the place of Cinchona.' 'An emulsion made by shaking up equal parts of the oil and powdered gum-arabic with water has been used as a urethral injection, and has also been given internally in drachm doses in pulmonary tuberculosis and other microbic diseases of the lungs and bronchitis.' 'In croup and spasmodic throat troubles, the o |

Soy Isoflavones 10% Isoflavones Powdered Extract (Glycine max; Dan Dou) 5 kg (11 lbs): Q
•Non-GMO •Supports Hormonal Balance & Bone Health* •To Meet the Changing Needs of Women* Soy is a natural source of isoflavones that provide benefits such as hormonal balance support and bone health. The amount of soy isoflavones necessary to achieve these benefits can be difficult to incorporate into today's diet. Soy Isoflavones support the changing nutritional needs of women throughout all stages of life. Soy Isoflavones have phyto-estrogenic activity and may be beneficial in lowering the risk of cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, easing menopausal symptoms, balancing cholesterol levels, and inhibiting tumor development. Soy nuts are highly nutritious and delicious. Soy beans are probably the single most versatile crop in the world. They are used to make tofu, soy sauce, miso, alimentary pastes, food oils, baby food, beer, candy, cereals, diet foods, grits, hypo allergenic milk, meat substitutes, noodles, yeast, candy, coffee creamers, pharmaceuticals and on and on. Japanese diets are traditionally high in soy. The studies of Dr. Mary Jane Minkin, a clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Yale University, concentrated on the high consumption of isoflavones, the phytoestrogens found in soybeans, and their utility to menopausal women. According to the Seattle-based United Soybean Board, the Japanese eat 200 milligrams of isoflavones a day, as compared with just 5 mg. for the average American. Dr. Minkin describes study results as 'brilliant,' citing a decrease of both the frequency and severity of hot flashes in women who increased their soy consumption. More exciting, she says, is that soy may reduce the risk of heart disease and osteoporosis, both diseases with higher incidence among post-menopausal women, and higher among Americans than Japanese. Mark Messina, Ph.D., an adjunct associate professor of nutrition at Loma Linda University in Loma Linda, Calif., and the author of 'The Simple Soybean and Your Health,' says further research is needed before he'll be convinced of a link between hot flashes and soy. Even in the definitive research, women had to increase soy intake, both from supplements and by adding soy foods to their diets, for several months before experiencing relief. But Messina concedes that the link between a diet high in soy and lower risk of heart disease seems clear, and he says there is no downside to soy. |

Tribulus Fruit 40% Saponins Powdered Extract (Tribulus terrestris; Bai Ji Li) 1 kg (2.2 lbs): Q
Tribulus terrestris has traditionally been used as a mood-enhancing smoke, tea (infusion) or decoction (thick, boiled tea). The plant grows in many tropical and moderate areas of the world. Many different cultures have used it for a number of purposes. For example, the Greeks used Tribulus terrestris as a diuretic and a mood-enhancer. Indians used it as a diuretic, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory. The Chinese used it for a variety of liver, kidney, and cardiovascular diseases. The people of Bulgaria used Tribulus terrestris as a sex enhancer and to treat infertility. Recently, eastern European athletes and strength champions have used it as well. Tribulus terrestris is a testosterone enhancer. Studies show that it works very well when stacked with DHEA and androstenedione. It increased testosterone levels in a different way, however, than either DHEA or andro do. Instead of being a testosterone precursor, it leads to the production of the luteinizing hormone (LH). When LH levels are increased, the natural production of testosterone also increases. LH is a hormone that also deals with sex drive. Now one can understand why it has been used to increase fertility and help with impotence. Laboratory animal studies found that Tribulus terrestris increased sperm count as well as motility levels after taking it for 30 days. This is a good supplement for men and women to increase their sex drive. Most experts recommend experimenting with 750 to 1,250 mg per day, divided among meals. As for side effects, about one in ten people have associated some gastrointestinal upset with taking Tribulus terrestris. Taking food with it can minimize these effects if you are that one in ten. Related to syrian rue and seeds reported to contain similar alkaloids, ie; beta-carboline alkaloids such as harmaline, though there is little direct phytochemical studies of Australian species. Used in Ayurveda, sometimes in combination with Mucuna or cowhage, plant and dried spiny fruit are esteemed as cooloing, demulcent, diuretic, tonic and aphrodisiac. http://www.ironmagazine.com/tribulus1.htm: The Chinese have used Tribulus for over 400 years. In the West we became aware of Tribulus in 1982 following research by the Chemical Pharmaceutical institute in Sofia, Bulgaria. Tribulus Terrestris is an herb commonly known as 'Puncture Vine' or Caltrop fruit, grown in various parts of the world and used medicinally for it virilizing effects. Studies have shown a better than 50% increase in testosterone levels when taking the Tribulus herb. When scientists began studying the remarkable curative power of Tribulus, they discovered that it significantly elevates the level of several hormones: Testosterone; Luteinizing Hormone (LH is a gonad stimulating hormone produced by the pituitary gland), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Estradiol. A significant benefit of Tribulus is the stimulation of hormone production to a balanced level, without over stimulati |

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. Bee Pollen - 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. To Bee or not to Bee, but there is no question that Bee Pollen has become a popular nutritious supplement that helps to enhance vitality, build the immune system, increase stamina and strength, and even combat depression. It is no wonder that Bee Pollen is often called ''Nature's Perfect Food!'' History: Bee Pollen is one of the many gifts that bees have bestowed on mankind (think of beeswax, honey, bee propolis and royal jelly), and as yet scientists have not been able to duplicate this wondrous substance in a laboratory. Even when manmade pollen has been created with every known nutrient present in the real pollen, bees will die when fed the lab-produced, synthesized food. Bee Pollen is a powder-like material that is produced by the anthers of flowering plants and gathered by bees and picks up the nutrients of every plant it visits. This is a particularly rich, non-airborne pollen called entomophile pollen that is needed by those flowers to guarantee their fertilization, and unlike the wind-carried anemophile pollen, it generally does not trigger allergic reactions. This entomophile pollen is processed by the honeybee and is rich in protein, essential fatty acids, B-complex vitamins, vitamins A, C, E and D, carotene, enzymes, almost all known minerals, trace elements, sodium, plant sterols, and simple sugars. Beneficial Uses: Bee Pollen is the favorite of many athletes who use it to help increase their endurance, stamina, speed and strength before workouts or competitions and to help recover more swiftly after strenuous exercise. It appears to improve not only endurance and energy, but also physical acuity and sharper mental response. Many people use it to fight overall fatigue. With regard to mental response, Bee Pollen appears to be effective in helping people who suffer from mental fatigue, stress, depression and the inability to concentrate. It is a natural energy food that helps to improve mental clarity and the capacity to concentrate for longer periods of time. Bee Pollen is considered one of the finest sources of immunity-building nutrients that stimulate glands and enhance the body |

To Bee or not to Bee, but there is no question that Bee Pollen has become a popular nutritious supplement that helps to enhance vitality, build the immune system, increase stamina and strength, and even combat depression. It is no wonder that Bee Pollen is often called ''Nature's Perfect Food!'' History: Bee Pollen is one of the many gifts that bees have bestowed on mankind (think of beeswax, honey, bee propolis and royal jelly), and as yet scientists have not been able to duplicate this wondrous substance in a laboratory. Even when manmade pollen has been created with every known nutrient present in the real pollen, bees will die when fed the lab-produced, synthesized food. Bee Pollen is a powder-like material that is produced by the anthers of flowering plants and gathered by bees and picks up the nutrients of every plant it visits. This is a particularly rich, non-airborne pollen called entomophile pollen that is needed by those flowers to guarantee their fertilization, and unlike the wind-carried anemophile pollen, it generally does not trigger allergic reactions. This entomophile pollen is processed by the honeybee and is rich in protein, essential fatty acids, B-complex vitamins, vitamins A, C, E and D, carotene, enzymes, almost all known minerals, trace elements, sodium, plant sterols, and simple sugars. Beneficial Uses: Bee Pollen is the favorite of many athletes who use it to help increase their endurance, stamina, speed and strength before workouts or competitions and to help recover more swiftly after strenuous exercise. It appears to improve not only endurance and energy, but also physical acuity and sharper mental response. Many people use it to fight overall fatigue. With regard to mental response, Bee Pollen appears to be effective in helping people who suffer from mental fatigue, stress, depression and the inability to concentrate. It is a natural energy food that helps to improve mental clarity and the capacity to concentrate for longer periods of time. Bee Pollen is considered one of the finest sources of immunity-building nutrien |

Other common names: Bramble, Cloudberry, Dewberry, Brambleberry, Fingerberry Blackberry is considered an old-time and reliable remedy for diarrhea and hemorrhage, and its high-astringency has made it very valuable in the treatment of internal and external bleeding, dysentery, hemorrhoids, loose bowels, excessive menstrual flow and excess water. History: Blackberries have been divided into hundreds of species, with two major kinds occurring in both Europe and North America. The European variety grows upright and heavily-thorned with stiff, erect canes that propagate by suckers from the roots. In contrast, the trailing forms of North America (often called dewberries in the South) have slender canes, are much less heavily-thorned, and the tips of the canes, if in contact with the soil, strike root and establish new plants. Both forms thrive in moist, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade and produce black or reddish-black berries with a deep purple, sweet-tasting juice. Fossil evidence shows that the Blackberry has been part of the human diet from very early times, and its dietary and medicinal uses were praised by both Greek and Roman scholars alike, mostly employing Blackberry as a remedy for gout. Since the time of Jesus, Blackberry Leaves have been used in the Middle East to cure bleeding gums and eliminate water from the system. In his Herball or Generall Historie of Plantes of 1597, the surgeon and apothecary, John Gerard, recommended Blackberry Leaf as a valuable astringent (both internally or externally) and treatment for piles, ''looseness of the bowels,'' stone, sore throat, and mouth - the very same uses that have remained valued to this day. In Crusoe's Treasury of Easy Medicines (1771), Blackberry Leaf is included as a remedy for long standing ulcers, and our own mountain people of Kentucky and Georgia used it to treat hemorrhaging, diarrhea, goiter, indigestion and flatulence. Blackberry fruits are eaten raw or cooked and made into syrups, cordials, jams, jellies and wines, and both the berries and leaves are added to herbal teas; the leaf and rootstock are used in herbal medici |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: St. Benedict Thistle, Holy Thistle, Spotted Thistle, Cardo Santo, Kardobenediktenkraut, Chardon Benit, Cnicus benedictus Blessed Thistle is an old and revered ''bitter'' herb that is well known for its use in promoting a healthy gastrointestinal system. It is a fine overall tonic that stimulates good digestion, healthy liver and gallbladder function, and promotes general good health. It is also a natural hormone balancer that supports ''female health.'' History: Blessed Thistle is a native of the Meditteranean region and was first recorded as a medicinal herb in the first century A.D. It is an annual plant that reaches about two feet in height and bears leathery, hairy leaves and yellow flowers in a dense flowerhead. The herb was originally cultivated in monastery gardens and was once regarded with almost supernatural qualities as a ''cure-all.'' In the sixteenth century, Blessed Thistle was widely recommended for plague, and in seventeenth-century England, the esteemed herbalist, Nicholas Culpeper, listed Blessed Thistle as a treatment for headaches, female complaints and for fevers. In North America, the Quinault Indians used the whole plant to create a birth control medicine, and the Zunis used it to treat venereal disease and to lower fever. Today, it is still highly regarded as a valuable supplement to maintain good health, and is used in Europe in the manufacture of ''bitters'' to be taken before meals to stimulate the appetite and help the digestive tract. Some of the constituents in Blessed Thistle include tannins, beta-carotene, essential fatty acids, beta-sitosterol, luteolin, oleanolic acid, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, silicon, zinc, B-vitamins and vitamin C. Beneficial Uses: Blessed Thistle is a very bitter herb that works mainly as a tonic for the gastrointestinal and digestive system. Its ''bitter'' principle stimulates gastric secretions in the stomach and alleviates dyspepsia, indigestion, flatulence and colic. It also acts as an appetite stimulant and may be helpful in treating anorexia, particularl |
