Other common names: Peruvian Ginseng, Maka, Mace, Maca-Maca, Maino, Chichira, Ayuk, Pepperweed, High Andean Ginseng, Royal Maca Hailed as Peruvian Ginseng, Maca Root has been used for centuries to increase vitality, promote libido, fertility and sexual performance and stamina. It is also used to relieve the symptoms of menopause and premenstrual syndrome (PMS), as well as enhance energy and strength during athletic performance. Like other cruciferous members of the cabbage family, Maca Root is credited with possessing immuno-stimulating qualities that help to build the body's defenses against invasive infection and serious disease. History: Maca is a biennial or perennial plant that is native to the very high parts of the Andes Mountains, at altitudes from eight thousand to almost fifteen thousand feet, in an inhospitable region of intense sunlight, violent winds and below-freezing temperatures. Maca Root is a low-growing, mat-like stem system that produces inconspicuous, scalloped leaves and off-white flowers. Despite the poor, rocky soil and extreme temperatures, the large, radish-like root vegetable has managed to flourish over the centuries. The root is usually off-white to yellow in color (although purple and black exist), and the smaller, less fibrous type is preferred and common in Peruvian markets as a highly nutritious vegetable. It is also highly valued in herbal medicine. Maca Root was domesticated during the pre-Inca, Arcaicia Period sometime around 3800 B.C., with primitive cultivars of Maca being found in archaeological sites dating back to 1600 B.C. It continued to be cultivated by the Incas centuries ago as a valuable nutritious dietary staple and medicinal commodity. The indigenous people used it for centuries to enhance fertility in humans and animals. Soon after the Spanish conquest in South America, the Spaniards found that their livestock was reproducing poorly in the highlands, and the local tribes recommended Maca. So remarkable were the results that the Spanish chroniclers wrote in-depth reports, saying that Maca improved the reproductive health of their hor |

Other common names: Mary Thistle, Wild Artichoke, Silybum, Marian Thistle, St. Mary's Thistle, Lady Thistle, Holy Thistle Did you know that your liver is the toxic waste disposal plant of your body? Keep it healthy and nourished with Milk Thistle. This remarkable herb is said to have no pharmaceutical equivalent for its beneficial effects on the liver, spleen and gallbladder. Rid yourself of toxins and temporary depression, and boost your immunity with Milk Thistle. In the meantime, you'll also gain valuable antioxidant protection. History: Milk Thistle is a stout, spiny annual or perennial that is native to the Mediterranean region and has been naturalized throughout Europe and parts of North America and Australia. This common weed grows to about six feet in height in the dry, rocky soils of fields and waste places. The plant produces a purple flower, and there are distinctive white markings on its leaves, which legend has described as the splashes of the Virgin Mary's milk. Historically, it has been a very popular plant in Europe for its medicinal and dietary qualities and is still a favorite in France as a wholesome, delicious vegetable and as an ingredient in salads. The seeds and leaves are used in herbal medicine, and their use goes back two thousand years. The Greek, Dioscorides, prescribed Milk Thistle to remedy the poison of snakebite, and in the first-century, the Roman, Pliny, wrote that it was excellent for ''carrying off bile,'' meaning that it restored impaired liver function, a claim that has been justified by many modern researchers. In the Middle Ages, the liver was regarded as the seat of emotions (both in Europe and in traditional Chinese medicine), and depression and emotional distress were ultimately thought to be caused by a malfunction of the liver. Consequently, Milk Thistle was commonly prescribed to remedy such ailments, and the herb was widely used as a spring tonic to provide relief from the pent-up emotions and depression housed in the liver. It was an early remedy for the winter's doldrums and ''blues.'' According to the noted herbalist, Gerard, in h |

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: European Mistletoe, Viscum, Birdlime, All-heal, Devil's Fuge, Loranthus, Mulberry Mistletoe, Golden Baugh ''The Mistletoe hung in the castle hall, The holly branch shone on the old oak wall...'' If all you want is a kiss, walk under a bough of Mistletoe, but if you are exhausted, irritable or suffering from headache or hypertension, try Mistletoe for relief. Perhaps more importantly, there are very hopeful and exciting studies currently being conducted on Mistletoe in the area of immune therapy, which show promise in building defense against disease. History: European Mistletoe (not to be confused with American Mistletoe, an entirely different plant that is seldom used medicinally) is a woody perennial that is native to Europe and Asia and continues to grow throughout Europe, as well as northwest Africa, parts of Asia and elsewhere. One of its most notable features is the white berries that ripen during the winter months. This European species of Mistletoe (Viscum album) can be found in the United States, because it was purposely imported in the early 1900s by horticulturist, Luther Burbank, to California as an ornamental from Eurasia. Mistletoe is an evergreen shrub with branches that may extend ten feet across with feathery leaves, yellow flowers and sticky white berries. Mistletoe is a parasitic plant and grows on young branches of deciduous host trees, such as firs, ash, apple, hawthorne and oak. As a true parasite, it assumes the varied nutrients acquired from the host plant; at no time does it receive its nourishment from the soil. The plant is propagated in seeds carried by birds and cannot be cultivated from the soil. One of the earliest writers to discuss the use of Mistletoe in medicine was the Roman naturalist Celsus (53 B.C.- 7 A.D.) in his work, De medicina, which is one part of a six-part encyclopedia and considered a comprehensive look at medicine during ancient Roman times. Mistletoe has been used in herbal medicine since ancient times and was considered sacred to the Druids who went forth in white robes to collect it (particularly revering the oak-gro |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Lion's Tail, Lion's Ear, Throw Wort, Roman Motherwort, Leonurus As its name implies, Motherwort is a wonderful support for women's health, easing menstrual cramps, PMS and the symptoms of menopause. But it is also a great relaxant that helps to alleviate stress, depression, anxiety and nervous disorders. History: Motherwort is a hardy perennial that is native to Europe and central Asia and has been naturalized in the northern part of the United States and all over Europe and North Africa. It is a pungent, bitter and drying herb that grows to a height of five feet in waste places, along roads and in vineyards in no special soils, and since ancient times, the aerial parts have been (and continue to be) an important part of herbal medicine. The Greeks and Romans proclaimed the plant's sedative powers and valued it as a remedy for heart disease, palpitations, depression and as a pain reliever during childbirth. Motherwort's botanical genus, Leonurus, is derived from the Latin, leo, meaning ''lion,'' and the Greek, oura, meaning ''tail,'' and kardiaca, meaning ''heart.'' It is also interesting to note that the Latin botanical specific, cardiacus, may be translated into ''troubles of the heart,'' because it was thought to be effective in calming the heart. One of its common names, Lion's Tail, described the shaggy shape of the leaves, and the name Motherwort is an obvious reference to the medicinal applications used since ancient times for stimulating the uterus during childbirth and easing its pain. In 1652, the respected English herbalist, Nicholas Culpeper, praised Motherwort as a cardiotonic when he wrote that there was ''no better herb to take melancholy vapours from the heart and to strengthen it.'' Chinese herbalists used Motherwort for menstrual disorders, and the Japanese drank it in a tea to prolong life. Early herbals recommended the plant for calming the spirits, and English colonists brought the herb to America for all the uses that had spread throughout Europe over the centuries. Some of the constituents in Motherwort include flavonoids, rutin, alkaloid |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Mo Yao, Makkul, Mukul, Myrrh Tree, Balsamodendron, Commiphora, Molmol, Mirra, Bola For four thousand years, Myrrh has been known as a powerful natural antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antifungal that combats infections of the lungs, skin, and urinary and intestinal tracts. Since antiquity, Myrrh has been used to relieve pain and alleviate sinusitis, gingivitis, periodontal disease and sore throat, and has long been used to help bolster the body's natural immune defenses. Myrrh is also a natural deodorizer and can help to sweeten the breath. History: Myrrh is an aromatic, gummy substance (oleo-gum resin), exuded and harvested from certain small trees and shrubs that are generally deciduous and spiny with a spread of sixteen feet and producing yellow and red flowers. Botanically, there is still uncertainty about the origin and identity of the various species (which include Commiphora molmol - Somalian, Commiphora myrrha - Common myrrh, Commiphora schimperi - Arabian, Commiphora gileadensis - Mecca myrrh, Commiphora habessinica - Abyssinian/Yemeni myrrh, Commiphora makul - mukul or guggul from India, but they are all thought to be native to the desert scrublands of eastern Africa, northern Somalia, Yemen, Arabia and India. The thorny trees thrive in well-drained soil in full sun in warm climates, and the pungent oleo-gum resin that is collected from cut branches is dried to a solid and has been regarded as one of the great treasures of the East for thousands of years for use in herbal medicines, perfumes, incense, fumigation and religious rituals. Myrrh was an important ingredient in the Egyptian embalming process of 2000 B.C., and ancient Egyptian women burned Myrrh pellets to rid their homes of fleas. The composition varies slightly from one species to another, but it has been a standard medicament in the Middle East since Biblical times for infected wounds and bronchial and digestive complaints. The gum's name is derived from the Arabic, mur, meaning ''bitter,'' and it was also widely used in the Middle East as an analgesic. Myrrh was especially as |

This herb helps to relieve indigestion, fluid retention, halitosis, gas and also helps to promote kidney, liver and bladder health. A high dose of vitamins and minerals adds to its all-round healthful benefits. 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. Although the plant remained an important part of the herbalists' repertoire, it remained associated with magic and the underworld through the Middle Ages as one of the Devil's favorites and could only be counteracted by sowing the |

It promotes sweat, which helps to reduce fevers and cleanse toxins from the body through the skin. The herb is also a digestive that relieves indigestion, flatulence and grumbling in the intestines (griping). History: Pennyroyal is a pungently aromatic, bitter, astringent herb. It is a member of the mint family, and exact naming of the different species has been difficult, as mints interbreed so readily. Pennyroyal is a perennial with variable growing habits and may range from a low-growing, spreading plant to a lanky upright shrub. Its leaves are bright green and exude a strong peppermint scent, and the herb prefers rich, damp, sandy soil in sun or partial shade. It is considered a weed in many places, and one of its folk names is ''Grows-in-the-Ditch.'' Pennyroyal is said to be native to Ireland, spreading across south and central Europe to the Ukraine and parts of Asia. The herb was introduced to North America centuries ago, and it grows abundantly in the wildlands of the world. American Pennyroyal (Hedeoma pulegiodes ) has a long medicinal history in North America, where it was used by the native tribes and settlers alike for headaches, feverish colds, menstrual cramps and to produce abortion. Pennyroyal was listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia from 1831 until 1915. An herbal extract oil or tea was derived from the leaves and flowering tops of the plant and was used in folklore medicine to induce abortion and menses and to treat inflammatory conditions, chronic bronchitis, minor ailments and colic. Mentha pulegium (European Pennyroyal) and Hedeoma pulegiodes have a similar chemistry and are used in the same manner, but the herb carries severe warnings and should be used only under the supervision of a health care practitioner.

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.

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 roots of Rheum officinale are much smaller than those o |

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 |

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. An old Arab proverb asked, ''How shall a man die who has Sage in his garden?'' - a reference to t |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Queen's Delight, Marcory, Pavil, Queen's Root, Yaw Root, Silverleaf, Cockup Hat Stillingia Root is considered an excellent alterative herb that gradually converts an unhealthy condition into a healthy one and is thought to be especially effective for the lymphatic system. It has been used in herbal medicine to rid the body of toxins and cleanse and purify the blood, as well as relieve bronchial complaints. Its astringent qualities have made it useful in alleviating painful hemorrhoids. History: Stillingia Root is a hardy perennial evergreen or deciduous shrub that is native to large portions of the southern United States and also ranges in other warm and tropical parts of the Americas, thriving in pine barrens and other dry, acid, sandy soils in sun or partial shade. The plant bears leathery, three-inch, fine-toothed leaves and yellow-green flowers that may bloom all year in the warmer climates, and the entire plant grows to a height of about four feet. It was once a very popular home medicine with the early settlers in the southern regions of the United States as a laxative, emetic (to induce vomiting), expectorant (encouraging the expulsion of phlegm), blood purifier and a cure for syphilis (which has since been disproven). In fact, in 1828, Dr. T. Y. Symons published his research on the subject, claiming it to be an effective cure for syphilis (toxic mercury had previously been used), and after meeting with the medical community's approval, it was listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia. In the nineteenth century, the Eclectic physicians who attempted to combine what was effective in conventional medical treatments with what was beneficial in herbal medicine, used Stillingia Root to treat cancer and tuberculosis. Herbalists also continued to value Stillingia's properties as a laxative and emetic, and modern herbalists recommend it as a purifier for the blood (in combination with other herbs) and as an effective alterative. The herb was included in the highly controversial Hoxey Formula that was used to heal external cancers, and although there is great resea |
