Ginseng Root, Princess Powder (Panax ginseng; Ren Shen) 25 kg (55 lbs): Q
Used as a tea, decoction, extract, tincture, food additive and supplement. Chinese Ren Shen, 'root of heaven,' Panax ginseng, Asian ginseng, is native to Manchuria and Korea and is cultivated in China, Korea and Japan. The ginseng plant requires 5-7 years to mature from seed. Ginseng has a sweetly aromatic flavour. Its root has long been regarded by the Chinese as a panacea for illness, though it was usually used by them in a prophylactic (preventive) rather than a curative manner. Many Native American tribes used American ginseng, Panax quinquefolia. Medicinal uses ranged from digestive disorders to sexual problems. The Chinese began to use American ginseng after it was imported during the 1700s. The traditional applications in China are somewhat different from those for Panax ginseng (Asian ginseng), American ginseng being considered a better stomachic. The type and ratio of ginsenosides are somewhat different in American and Asian ginseng, but not radically different. Pharmacologically, ginseng is nonspecific in its effects and is capable of a normalizing action irrespective of the pathological situation. Ginseng's ginsenosides are believed to increase energy, counter the effects of stress, and enhance intellectual and physical performance. Thirteen ginsenosides have been identified in Asian ginseng. Ginsenosides Rgl and Rbl have received the most attention. Other constituents include the panaxans, which help lower blood sugar, and the polysaccharides (complex sugar molecules), which support immune function. Numerous double-blind studies have confirmed Chinese tradition, objectively demonstrating Asian ginseng's ability to lower blood sugar, reduce fatigue and stress, and support the normal function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, the hormonal stress system of the body. Ginseng's support of the brain's production of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) appears to improve mental performance, learning, and memory and sensory awareness, exactly as Chinese tradition has always maintained. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs, reflecting the opinion of modern scientific herbalism, recommends Ginseng root [Panax ginseng] 'As tonic for invigoration and fortification in times of fatigue and debility, for declining capacity for work and concentration, also during convalescence.' 'Daily dosage: 1 - 2 g of root; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Cut root for teas, powder and galenical preparations for internal use. Duration of Administration: Generally up to 3 months. A repeated course is feasible.' 'Action: In various stress models, e.g., an immobilization test and the coldness test, the resistance of laboratory test animals (rodents) was increased.'

Bladderwrack Powder Cert. Organic (Fucus vesiculosus) 1 lb: C
This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Used as an infusion, decoction, extract, food additive and encapsulated supplement. Bladderwrack is widely used commercially as a thickening agent in foods and pharmaceuticals. Kloss, author of 'Back to Eden,' describes the medicinal properties of bladderwrack thus: 'The best remedy for obesity. Good for all glandular afflictions, goiter, and scrofula. Has an excellent effect on the kidneys.' Grieve, below, recommends it both internally and externally for rheumatic pain as well. Bladderwrack contains relatively large amounts of iodine, which is necessary for normal thyroid function. Current scientific studies of bladderwrack, of which there are quite a few, indicate that the high fucoidan content of this plant, because of its verified immune and inflammatory balancing effects, appears to be responsible for some of the observed beneficial optimizing of thyroid function. Bladderwrack also contains alginic acid, a dietary fiber which relieves constipation and diarrhea. The antacid Gaviscon®, composed of magnesium carbonate and sodium alginate, the sodium salt of alginic acid, has been shown to be effective relief for heartburn. Test tube and animal studies have shown alginic acid to help heal wounds, lower the unwelcome LDL cholesterol level, and have antiviural and antibacterial action in the body. Similar studies have shown Bladderwrack's other major element, fucoidan, to have similar effects. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'It has alterative properties, has been used in scrofula, and is thought by some authorities to reduce obesity through stimulating the thyroid gland.' 'The charcoal derived from Kelp has been used in the treatment of goitre and scrofulous swellings under the name of Æthiops vegetabilis or vegetable ethiops, introduced by Dr. Russell in 1750, who also used a jelly for similar purposes, both internally and externally. He was also successful in dispersing scrofulous tumours by rubbing in the mucus of the vesicles of Bladderwrack, afterwards washing the parts with sea-water. The charcoal was also helpful in goitre. The iodine from other sources led to the neglect of kelp products.' 'In 1862 Dr. Duchesne-Duparc found while experimenting in cases of chronic psoriasis, that weight was reduced without injuring health, and used the drug with success for the latter purpose. Dr. Godfroy experimented on himself, losing five and a quarter pounds in a week after taking before three meals a day an extract made into pills containing 25 grams (3.75 grains). The bromine and iodine stimulated the absorbent glands to increased activity, without causing an atrophied wasting of the glands.

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: Seaweed, Black Tang, Seawrack, Sea Oak, Rockwrack, Wrack, Rockweed, Bladder Fucus, Kelp Bladderwrack and other seaweeds are a great gift from the sea. This remarkable source of iodine has been used extensively in the treatment of thyroid gland disorders, including goiter and low-metabolism-related obesity. It is used in spa treatments for softening the skin, improving circulation, and promoting a healthy glow. Bladderwrack may also be helpful for good digestion. History: Bladderwrack is a variety of brownish seaweed found along both coasts of North America and the Atlantic shores of Europe. It is an alga, and algae were all formerly described by the name of fucus, but now it is applied to one genus of fucaceae, and most of this species is found only in the northern seas, exposed at low water. Fucus vesiculosis is found on submerged rocks on the coasts of North America and Europe, north of the Mediterranean, where it drifts in from time to time through the Strait of Gibralter. The name, Bladderwrack, refers to the bladder-like air pods (vesicles) that keep the plant afloat on the ocean. It is a mucilaginous, salty, tonic herb, and several varieties of this seaweed have been used therapeutically; the brown alga known as Bladderwrack is also a common source of kelp. Bladderwrack is particularly rich in iodine and was the original source of the element, having been discovered by Courtois in 1812. It remained this element's main source for over fifty years thereafter. Iodine was isolated and extracted by distilling the plant's long ribbons (or thalli). Perhaps Bladderwrack's most remarkable application occurred in the eighteenth century, when a British physician prescribed it as treatment for goiter and enlargement of the thyroid gland. No one knows whether the doctor had scientific knowledge of the plant's action or was simply lucky, but there is a pharmacological basis for his prescription. Bladderwrack was most valuable as a fertilizer, high in potash, especially for potatoes, and gathered for that purpose along the British coast and Channel Islands. In Ireland, i |

Bugleweed - 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. Other common names: Water Bugle, Gypsy Weed, Sweet Bugle, Virginia Water Horehound, Water Horehound, Gypsywort, Virginia Bugleweed Modern herbalists use Bugleweed to treat hyperthyroidism and to regulate an overactive thyroid gland. It is also used to tone the heart and stabilize rapid or irregular heartbeat, relieving nervous palpitations and strengthening the heartbeat. History: Bugleweed is a very common weed that is native to North America and is also found in Europe. From its perennial, creeping root, a smooth stem with lance-shaped leaves on short stalks rises to a height of two feet and bears clustered purple flowers. Both American Bugleweed (Lycopus virginicus/Lycopus americanus) and its European cousin (Lycopus europaeus) grow in very wet areas and are used interchangeably. The plant thrives in low, damp ground in moist-to-wet soil in sun or partial shade and flowers from July to September. Oddly, the herb's historical medicinal applications do not match its current use in today's herbal medicine. Bugleweed was officially listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia in the late nineteenth century as an effective anti-hemorrhagic and sedative, but modern herbalists regard it as a specific for an over-active thyroid gland and nervous heart palpitations. It is considered a bitter, faintly aromatic herb, and its aerial parts (above ground) are used in herbal medicine. Some of the constituents in Bugleweed include a bitter principle, lycopine, tannins, resin, essential oil, as well as caffeic-, chlorogenic-, ellagic-, rosmarinic-, lithospermic- and other acids. Beneficial Uses: Bugleweed is mainly used today to treat hyperthyroidism. The lithospermic and other organic acids are believed to be responsible for the herb's ability to decrease levels of several thyroid-stimulating hormones, notably thyroxine, that act to inhibit the binding of antibodies to the thyroid gland - the antibodies that are said to cause Graves' disease. It is thought to be particularly helpful in treating Graves' disease when there is cardiac involvement, especially where there are symptoms of a racing heart, shaking |

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: Chaste Tree, Monk's Pepper, Hemp Tree, Indian Spice, Sage Tree, Agnus Castus, Cloister Pepper, Vitex Chasteberry is an old and trusted ''woman's herb '' that is great for easing the discomforts of menstruation and premenstrual syndrome (PMS), including water retention, mood swings, pain and nervous tension. Menopausal women rely on it as well for alleviating their hormone-related discomforts, and it is also used to increase fertility. History: Chasteberry is the fruit of the Chaste Tree (or Chasteberry Tree), which is a deciduous and fairly hardy tree or shrub that thrives in well-drained, acidic soil in full sun. It benefits when protected by a wall and may reach a height of twenty feet. Chasteberry is a free-spreading tree with fragrant flowers and berries (somewhat like peppercorns) that are dark purple and yellowish within, with an aromatic odor (somewhat like peppermint). The Chaste Tree is native to western Asia and southwestern Europe, and is now common in much of the southeastern United States. Aside from its medicinal use, Chasteberry is used as a peppery condiment. Chasteberry has been used for almost three thousand years to treat various conditions. In ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, it was used for a variety of gynecologic conditions. The seeds were once thought to safeguard chastity as an ''anaphrodisiac,'' and wives of traveling Roman soldiers spread the herb around them to decrease their interest in sex, thus giving rise to the name Chaste Tree. In the Middle Ages, monks relied on the herb for the very same purpose of suppressing the libido, and thus Chasteberry also acquired the name of Monk's Pepper and Cloister Pepper. Over the past fifty years, Chasteberry has been used widely in Europe for gynecologic conditions such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS), cyclical breast discomfort, menstrual cycle irregularities and dysfunctional uterine bleeding. The German Commission E approves the use of Chasteberry for irregularities of the menstrual cycle, cyclical breast discomfort and PMS, and the herb is widely prescribed by family physicians and gyne |

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. Chlorella is the world's highest-known source of chlorophyll, and it is also one of the most nutritious substances on earth. Loaded with vitamins, important minerals and nucleic acid, this green algae is truly a gift of nature that is virtually a complete food. It is used to improve digestion, purify the blood, enhance immune function and possibly even slow down the ageing process. History: Chlorella is a tiny, single-celled, water-grown alga that dates back to the pre-Cambrian period, and this microscopic species of green algae possesses distinct biological activities that should ensure its place among the better-known algae. Chlorella has survived for two billion years, because its protective outer shell has sheltered its genetic makeup, and it is also one of the most efficient foods, simply because of the way it utilizes sunshine (as demonstrated by its high chlorophyll content and rapid ability to reproduce). It has the highest chlorophyll content of any known plant, giving Chlorella its characteristic deep green color. The name Chlorella is derived from the Latin, chlor, meaning ''green'' and ella, meaning ''small.'' Numerous ongoing studies have indicated the possibility of almost miraculous applications for this unicellular alga. Some of Chlorella's constituents include a rich source of tryptophan, protein, vitamins A, C, E and all of the B-vitamins, rare trace minerals, carbohydrates, chlorophyll, cellulose, amino acids and nucleic acids. Beneficial Uses: Chlorella is said to stimulate and normalize an under-active bowel and thereby assist in the treatment of constipation. The high chlorophyll content is thought to detoxify the body by promoting the growth of healthy bacteria in the bowel that promote colon health and keep the bowel clean. Disease causing bacteria find it difficult to live in the presence of chlorophyll. Further cleansing the body of toxins, the tough cellulose membrane of chlorella that is not digested binds to heavy metals and eliminates them from the body. With regard to slowing the ageing process, exciting studies have noted that Chlorella possesses a nucleotide-peptid |

The herb has been particularly effective in the treatment of lymphatic ailments, especially scrofula, and its diuretic properties have been used to help cleanse the system and eliminate wastes from the kidneys. History: Figwort is a perennial plant, and the species Scrophularia nodosa is native to the Old World but naturalized in North America from Newfoundland to New England. Its closely-related American cousins (Scrophularia marilandica and Scrophularia californica ) are natives of the United States, where they are found in rocky woodlands, thickets and roadsides, and all plants are used in the same manner. Figwort is a shrub that thrives in rich, moist-to-wet soil in sun or partial shade and may reach a height of ten feet. Figwort has a knobby rootstock, erect stem with serrate leaves and dark purple flowers that bloom in the summertime. The plant has an offensive taste and odor. The medicinal uses of the species Scrophularia ningpoensis have been documented since the later Han Dynasty of China (A.D. 25-220), and the herb was revered in Europe for treating skin diseases of all kinds. The English herbalist, Nicholas Culpepper, mentioned it in his English Physitian Enlarged of 1653 as the best remedy for the ''king's evil,'' describing tuberculosis of the lymphatic glands. One of the herb's common names, Scrofula Plant, is derived from its efficacy in successfully treating the disease. Figwort apparently has some nutritious value, because when Cardinal Richelieu laid siege to the French city of La Rochelle from 1627-1628, the Protestant garrison within was reduced to eating and subsisting on the plant. Old herbalists called the plant Scrophularia, and utilized it as a remedy for scrofulous ailments, such as tuberculosis of the lymph glands and other diseases characterized by swellings and eruptions.
