It has been used to relieve cramps of all kinds, including menstrual pains, and relaxes muscles and eases spasms of the lower back and legs. Moreover, Cramp bark is said to be useful in cases of bronchial, gastrointestinal, genitourinary and skeletal muscle spasms. Cramp Bark is also said to support uterine function, help regulate excessive blood flow during menstruation and menopause, and ease postpartum, uterine and ovarian pain. The herb is also mildly sedative and helps to relieve many nervous conditions. History: Cramp Bark is a bushy tree that is said to be a native of North America, particularly southern Canada and northeastern United States, and cultivated in Europe and Britain. It is a hardy, deciduous ornamental that resembles the elder tree, growing to a height of ten feet and producing shiny, green leaves, topped with heads of snow-white flowers and drooping clusters of bright red berries. The tree thrives in deep, moist soil in sun or partial shade, and the bark is stripped before the leaves change color in autumn or before the leaf buds open in the springtime and dried for use in herbal medicine. *Cramp Bark (V. opulus) is sometimes called Black Haw Bark (V. prunifolium), because it is closely related to it and has similar medicinal properties, albeit Black Haw is slightly weaker in nature); in addition, the herb frequently shares many of Black Haw's common names. Cramp Bark was a popular remedy among the Native Americans, who used it as a diuretic. The Malecites and Penobscots used it for mumps, which is interesting, since it is desirable to excrete liquids during mumps. Cramp Bark was officially listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia from 1894 to 1916, and it was later introduced into the National Formulary for the relief of asthma. One of the early applications of Cramp Bark included its use during pregnancy to diminish miscarriage, but this is no longer recommended. Cramp Bark c |

Other common names: Epimedium, Yin Yang Huo, Fairy Wings, Bishop's Hat, Barrenwort For those who wish to improve their sex drive and performance, try Horny Goat Weed! It has been used for two thousand years in China as a powerful aphrodisiac for both women and men. Further, it is said to be effective in restoring sexual desire in both sexes and enhancing erectile function and increasing sperm production in men. The herb is also said to be effective in reducing fatigue, increasing energy and alleviating menopausal discomforts, and The Chinese Academy of Sciences even recommends Horny Goat Weed to slow the ageing process. History: Horny Goat Weed is one of about twenty-five species of herbaceous flowering plants that is native to China and other parts of Asia (other species are native to Europe). The hardy, deciduous perennial grows as a leafy groundcover, most abundantly at higher altitudes, and bears four-petaled, purple, pink, yellow or white ''spider-like'' flowers that resemble a ''Bishop's Hat'' (giving the plant one of its common names), and blooming in spring or early summer. Horny Goat Weed has a long history in China, where its medicinal properties were first recorded two thousand years ago in the Shen Nong Canon of Herbs. The Chinese regard this herb as one of the most effective aphrodisiacs for both men and women, and its use came about in a somewhat circuitous way (or so legend has it). Centuries ago, Chinese goat herders noticed incessant sexual behavior in his goats and observed that this activity seemed to be directly related to their diet. When the goats fed on this herb, the activity increased; hence, the name Horny Goat Weed was christened, and it probably did not take too long thereafter for its use to be shifted to humans. In China, its name is translated as ''the herb for the man who likes sex too much, like a goat.'' In Chinese herbal medicine, Horny Goat Weed has also been used to treat kidney, joint, liver and back disorders, but its fame rests upon its aphrodisiacal qualities. Some of the constituents included in Horny Goat Weed are a variety of flavonoids (icariin), |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Helonias Root, Starwort, Devil's Bit, Devil's Bite, Blazing Star Root, Fairy Wand False Unicorn Root is an early American tonic that was used by Native Americans and settlers alike for virtually all complaints, including liver and kidney ailments, worms, fevers and indigestion, but perhaps its greatest value came in relieving female disorders of the reproductive organs, including menstrual and menopausal symptoms. It is also thought to help genitourinary complaints and infertility (in both men and women!). History: False Unicorn Root is an herbaceous, tuberous, summer-flowering plant that is native to the eastern United States, where it is found in low, moist ground. The hardy perennial grows to a height of three feet and a width of fifteen inches with a basal rosette of smooth, spoon-shaped leaves, an erect stem of eight-inch, lance-shaped leaves and topped by a dense raceme of tiny, greenish-white, star-shaped flowers. The plant thrives in damp woods and bogs in rich, moist, well-drained humus soil in partial shade, and the roots are harvested from the wild in autumn, dried, and used in herbal medicine. Its botanical name, Chamaelirium, is derived from two Greek words, chamai, meaning ''slow growing,'' and leirion, meaning ''lily,'' and the plant's botanical specific, luteum, means ''yellow,'' referring to the fact that the flowers yellow with age. There is only one species in this genus, and it is closely related to Helonias, giving the herb one of its common names (Helonias Root). Another common name, Devil's Bit, refers to the herb's early Native American use as a ''cure-all'' that angered a bad spirit, who bit off a piece of the root to prevent its use. False Unicorn Root is so-called to distinguish it from true Unicorn Root (Aletris farinosa), a plant with different medicinal applications. False Unicorn Root was first used by Native North Americans to prevent miscarriage, expel worms and to treat liver and kidney ailments, and it soon found favor with the settlers, who used it in a like manner.

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

Other common names: Bachelor's Buttons, Febrefuge Plant, Featherfew, Featherfoil, Wild Chamomile, Flirtwort, Midsummer Daisy Suffering from migraines? Try a regimen of Feverfew to help prevent the pain and nausea associated with migraines. The herb has been used since ancient times to lower fever and treat nervous and menstrual disorders, depression and pain. History: Feverfew is a native plant of southeastern Europe that is now common throughout Australia, Europe and North America, where it sometime grows wild. The daisy-like flower is a perennial that grows about two feet in height. Ancient Greek physicians used Feverfew to treat melancholy, headaches and to lower fevers; Dioscorides is believed to have used it to treat arthritis. One of its botanical genus names, Chrysanthemum, is derived from two Greek words, i.e., chrysos, meaning ''golden'' and anthos, meaning ''flower,'' and its English name is a corrupted version of the Latin word, febrifugia, meaning ''fever reducer.'' Its botanical specific, parthenium, is said to be derived from the Greek word, parthenos, meaning virgin, in reference to young women who used the plant to treat menstrual irregularities. This herb has been used since the first century A. D., to treat headaches, and the English continued to use it into the seventeenth century to treat depression, headache, vertigo and to lower fever. The esteemed English pharmacist, Nicholas Culpeper, recommended its use in 1649 for ''all pains in the head,'' and in 1772, the herbalist, John Hill, said it would cure the ''worst headache.'' Feverfew faded from herbal popularity after that time, but it was planted in gardens for its small daisy-like flowers that appeared to ''purify the air'' and repel insects. Recently, however, it has returned to the herbalists' repertoire, primarily to prevent migraine headaches. The respected British journal, Lancet, reported in 1988, that extracts of Feverfew inhibited the release of two inflammatory substances, serotonin and prostaglandin, and its use was effective against headache.

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: Bitterwort, Sampson's Snakeroot, Bitter Root, Yellow Gentian, Felwort, Gentiane Jaune, Enzianwurzel, Bitterwurzel For three thousand years, Gentian has been used to treat digestive disorders. Its bitter qualities stimulate production of gastric juices and bile, helping to relieve dyspepsia, morning sickness, flatulence, indigestion and liver problems. History: Gentian is an intensely bitter herb that has been used in different cultures since ancient times to treat digestive disorders and to stimulate the appetite. It is a perennial plant that grows up to three or four feet tall and is said to be a native of the alpine and sub-alpine pastures of central and southern Europe. There are about 180 species of Gentians with flowers of varied color that are distributed throughout the temperate regions and high mountains of the world; however, their medicinal applications are virtually interchangeable. Gentiana lutea, or Yellow Gentian, is perhaps the most remarkable of the species which compose this genus, both for its beauty and great comparative size. From its thick, long, branching, perennial rhizome, an erect, round stem rises to the height of three or four feet, bearing opposite, sessile, ovate leaves of a bright-green color. The lower leaves, which spring from the root, are narrowed at their base into the form of a petiole. The flowers are large and beautiful, of a yellow color, peduncled, and placed in whorls at the axils of the upper leaves. The herb is widely cultivated in China and is frequently found in the mountains of Spain, Portugal, the Pyrenees, Sardinia and Corsica, the Apennines, Bosnia and the Balkan States. The botanical name of Gentian is derived from Gentius, an ancient botanist and King of Illyria (180-167 B.C.), who, according to Pliny and Dioscorides, discovered its medicinal value. In both Chinese and Korean, the terms for Gentian can be translated literally as ''dragon gallbladder herb,'' which attests to Gentian's ability to treat fiery inflammations of the gallbladder. In Chinese medicine, other species of Gentian have been used and have similar constituents |

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.

Gravel Root is believed to do exactly what its name promises! It has been utilized to flush the bladder and kidneys with increased urine flow and help to remove gravel, stones and accumulated toxins from these organs. This action has been beneficial in relieving gout, rheumatism and the stiff joints associated with accrued uric acid in the kidneys. Moreover, Gravel Root is also used to relieve inflammatory infections of the urinary tract, including cystitis, prostatitis, urethritis, vaginitis and leukorrhoea. History: Gravel Root is a hardy perennial that is native to North America, where it may be found in swampy and rich, low grounds and in woods of the United States and Canada, thriving in moist, well-drained, preferably calcareous (containing lime/calcium carbonate), soil in sun or dappled shade. It grows to about six feet in height (but has been known to reach twelve feet!) and is distinguishable by the purple band around the leaf joint and the pale purple-to-white tubular flowers that bloom in August and September. The plant's stem is rigidly erect and usually hollow, and its leaves are broad, rough, and jagged, and when bruised, they exude a vanilla aroma. The root, with its fragrance resembling old hay, is used as an important ingredient in herbal medicine. Gravel Root was used as the ''remedy of choice'' by Native Americans, who employed it as a diaphoretic, and the Ojibiwas were known to wash their babies and children with a solution of Gravel Root in order to strengthen them. One of the herb's common names, Joe-Pye Weed, comes to us in honor of a New Englan |

Glorious Hibiscus is in the news for its promising use in lowering cholesterol in the blood. Long used as a pleasant-tasting tea to soothe the stomach, new laboratory tests have shown exciting results for good heart health by reducing blood pressure and cholesterol levels in the blood. History: Hibiscus belongs to a family that contains no less than three hundred different species throughout the world. The brilliantly flowering herbaceous plant is native to Asia, but grows as an annual in many tropical and subtropical regions of the world, with many other species able to survive as a perennial in colder climates. It is an evergreen shrub or small tree that rises from four to fifteen feet in cultivation, but can reach thirty feet in the wild, where it may be found in fields, on roadsides and in waste places, thriving in well-drained soil in full sun. The leaves are alternate, simple, ovate-to-lanceolate, often with a toothed or lobed margin. The plant flowers throughout the year and is widely cultivated as an ornamental shrub for its exceptional beauty and brilliant, large, conspicuous, trumpet-shaped blooms of scarlet, orange, pink, white, purple or yellow. Its beauty is so magnificent that several species are counted among official regional flowers: The Hibiscus syriacus (''Rose of Althea'') is the national flower of South Korea, while Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (called Bunga Raya or the ''China Rose'') is the national flower of Malaysia, and the Hibiscus brackenridgei is the official flower of the territory of Puerto Rico and also the state flower of Hawaii (called ma‘o hau hele). More importantly, however, this cooling, astringent flower is also highly praised for its medicinal value (which appears to be growing every day). It is also used commercially in various parts of the world as a source of fiber; a black dye for shoes, hair and mascara; and as an ingredient in curries, chutneys, sauces and herbal teas. Hibiscu |

Other common names: Ava Ava Pepper, Intoxicating Pepper, Kawa Awa, Kawa Kawa, Yogona, Wati, Waka, Kava Pepper, Kava Tense? Stressed Out? Need a good night's sleep? Let Kava Kava soothe your mind and body naturally. This popular Polynesian herb is famous for calming the nerves, easing tense muscles and enhancing mental acuity, memory and sensory perception. History: Kava Kava is an evergreen shrub that is native to the Polynesian Islands of the South Pacific and is commonly cultivated in Australia and Hawaii. It is an erect shrub that grows in height from ten to twenty feet with tender fleshy stems, heart-shaped leaves and flowers with a lilac aroma. The dried root is an aromatic, bitter and pungent warming herb that is used in herbal medicine. South Pacific Islanders have used Kava Kava for over three thousand years as an important medicinal herb to kill pain (the root actually leaves the mouth feeling slightly numbed when chewed) and induce a state of relaxation and euphoria. The roots were also made into a sacred drink called Sakau, which marked important social and ceremonial rites, particularly meetings involving conflicts or war councils, since the herb is known to promote a state of goodwill and relaxation among parties trying to reconcile their differences. Kava Kava was first discovered for Western use by the explorer, Captain James Cook, who gave the plant its botanical name, which translates to ''intoxicating pepper.'' The name Kava carries the meanings of ''sour,'' ''bitter'' or ''sharp,'' which may be some indication of the taste of the beverage. Some of Kava Kava's chemical constituents include cinnamic acid and kavalactones/alphapyrones (including kawain, dihydrokawain, methysticin, dihydromethysticin and yangonin). Beneficial Uses: Kava Kava is a mild, but effective, sedative that induces physical and mental relaxation and helps to reduce anxiety without dulling the mind. As a matter of fact, although it is used mostly for its sedative properties, it does not seem to impair the user's mental clarity and has been known to improve memory and sensory perception. |
