Stevia Leaf Powder (Stevia rebaudiana) 1 lb: K

This is Frontier’s double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. This is green powdered whole Stevia leaf. Stevia is also known as Sweetleaf or Candyleaf. Stevia is a safe, all-natural alternative to artificial sweeteners and refined sugar in the diet. It has neither calories nor carbohydrates, is suitable for diabetics, doesn't cause tooth decay, and has been shown to reduce hypertension. Stevia has been used for centuries by the Guarani Indians of Paraguay both as a sweetener and as medicine. Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni was popularized, and named, by Dr. Moises Santiago Bertoni, the director of the College of Agriculture in Asuncion. He first heard of the herb in 1887, and encountered a live plant for the first time in 1903. In 1908 the first stevia crop was harvested, and plantations began to spring up. A 1913 memo from the official public scientific laboratory in Hamburg, Germany warned the established sugar industry, 'specimens received are of the well-known plant which alarmed sugar producers some years ago.' In 1960s Japan, there was a popular movement against adding chemicals such as artificial sweeteners to food. Manufacturers there were on the lookout for a natural alternative to sugar, and Stevia was introduced to the Japanese market in 1970. It is currently used in many products there and makes up 40% of the Japanese sweetener market. The Japanese use it in sugar-free versions of Wrigley's gums and diet Coke. Stevia is about 300 times sweeter than sugar in its natural state, and much more so when processed. Its medicinal uses include regulating blood sugar, preventing hypertension, treatment of skin disorders, and prevention of tooth decay. Other studies show that it is a natural antibacterial and antiviral agent as well. Stevia is actually good for you! Recently there have been studies linking stevia extract with normalization of blood sugar and insulin in diabetics. In China Stevia and stevioside is used in herbal medicines and toothpaste. In China, Korea and Japan Stevia extract Stevioside is used as a table top sweetener because it has 0 calories, 0 carbohydrates, 0 fat and is many times sweeter than sugar. Stevia has no fat, no carbohydrates, making it perfect for diabetics, low-carb diets, and people with candida. It has undergone dozens of tests world-wide and was found to be free of toxins. As a real threat to the vast sugar-aspartame industry, Stevia continues to be highly politicized in the US. While no one in Japan has complained about any Stevia related health problems for the past thirty years, over 75% of food-additive related complaints in the US are about Aspartame, which is supposedly safe. In 1995, the FDA, balancing public pressure with industry pressure, approved Stevia as a 'nutritional supplement' but not as a sweetener in the United States. Like other natural sweeteners such as honey and maple syrup, Stevia has its own special flavor

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Alligator Pear, Midshipman's Butter, Aguacate, Palta, Butter Pear Discover the beauty secrets that the ancient Mayans knew about the Avocado. This delicious and nutritious fruit with its healthy high fat content appears to fight the ravages of age, sun and wind damage as it softens and smoothes the skin. Its high mineral, vitamin and nutrient compounds help to support healthy cholesterol levels, ease inflammation, improve brain function, fight serious malignant disease and promote good eye health. History: The Avocado probably originated in southern Mexico sometime between 7000 and 5000 B.C., and was cultivated from the Rio Grande to central Peru by 500 B.C. This nutritious fruit has been a part of the New World diet for over two thousand years. The Aztecs called the Avocado the Nahuatl word, ahuacatl, meaning ''testicle,'' because of its shape, and considered it to be a sexual stimulant. The Mayans thought it to be a multifaceted beauty treatment for smooth skin and lustrous hair, and the Spanish conquistadors, who could not pronounce the Aztec name, changed it to a manageable aguacate. The first English-language mention of Avocado was by Sir Henry Sloane in 1696, and by 1871, when Judge R. B. Ord of Santa Barbara, California, successfully introduced avocados to the United States with trees from Mexico, growers soon afterward realized the potential of the Avocado as a valuable cash crop. A single California Avocado tree can produce up to sixty pounds of fresh fruit (or about 120 Avocados) annually, and it is a fruit - not a vegetable - and is actually botanically classified as a berry. The Avocado tree is a dense, perennial, evergreen tree that may reach a height of eighty feet, and the fruit of the Alligator pear (one of its common names) is highly nutritious and has a soft, smooth, buttery flesh with a bland, nutlike flavor. The fat content of the flesh is very high, and the center of the fruit has a large smooth stone (pit). The skin of the Avocado has a coarse texture and may vary from green to maroon in color. The flowers are inconspicuous, greenish-yellow, and the si

Startling new developments have placed Blueberry at the top of the health list to soak up free radicals and combat carcinogens. Blueberry also supports healthy blood sugar levels, healthy cardiac function and is packed with valuable nutrients and vitamins. The anthocyanins in Blueberry are beneficial for helping to combat age-related memory loss and Alzheimer's disease. History: Blueberry is a sweet, aromatic, edible berry that is indigenous to North America and is now widely distributed throughout the world. Botanists estimate that Blueberries have been around for more than thirteen thousand years. There are about twenty-five native species of this heath shrub that vary in height from two feet to twenty feet, and one single bush can produce as many as six thousand blueberries a year. The High Bush, larger species (Vaccinium corymbosum) is cultivated, and the smaller-species Low Bush (Vaccinium angustifolium) dotes on sandy or rocky, acid soil and is quite hardy with a wide range. The leaves can be either evergreen or deciduous, ovate to lanceolate, and the flowers are bell-shaped, white, pale pink or red. The bush produces a fruit, which is a berry with a flared ''crown'' (a perfect five-pointed star) at the end, and at first the berries are pale greenish, then reddish-purple, and finally a deep indigo when ripe. When mature, blueberries have a sweet taste with varying acidity. Blueberry bushes typically bear fruit from May through October, with the season peaking in July, which is National Blueberry Month in the United States, and August, which is National Blueberry Month in Canada. They are sometimes called huckleberries, a misnomer, because of their resemblance to that closely related genus. Blueberry is a highly valued commercial crop, and one of the most important Blueberry-growing states is New Jersey (it is the official State Fruit of New Jersey). Although commercially produced in thirty-eight states, six states account for more than ninety percent of the highbush crop: Michigan, New Jersey, Oregon, North Carolina, Georgia and Washingto

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

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Cayenne, Red Pepper, Bell Pepper, Bird Pepper, African Bird Pepper, Chili Pepper Capsicum is a pepper that warms and improves circulation to all parts of the body, easing the pain of arthritis, muscle spasms, stiff joints and cluster headaches. Included in many cuisines, it is a great aid for digestion and is believed to regulate heart and blood pressure and even improve athletic performance! Recent studies promise interesting developments in the area of cancer research, particularly for prostate cancer; hopefully, clinical trials will prove effective. History: Capsicum is a small-fruited pepper that is native to tropical and sub-tropical zones of Latin America and southern Asia. It is a perennial shrub when grown in its native lands, but being frost-sensitive, it is an annual when cultivated outside tropical zones. It is a tender shrub with branched stems, simple, ovate leaves and white-to-green flowers that are followed by pungent fruits. The plant generally reaches a height of two to six feet and thrives in rich, well-drained soil in sun, at a minimum of sixty-four degrees Fahrenheit. The Capsicum genus also includes cayenne, pimento, paprika, red peppers, tabasco peppers and bell peppers (among others) and has been cultivated for thousands of years in tropical Americas, Africa and India. Capsicum peppers vary greatly in the amount of heat and are actually categorized from anywhere between 0 to 300,000 scovile units with green peppers at 0, while the hottest, the habaneras, weigh in at 300,000. Capsicum peppers have been cultivated for thousands of years in tropical Americas, Africa and India, but legend says that Columbus seems to have been the first European to take conscious note of food flavored with this pungent herb and introduced it to Europe upon his return from the New World. Others say it was introduced into England from India in 1548. Archaeologists have found remains of chilies in Mexican sites dating from 7000 B.C., and these potent, hot peppers played an important role in Aztec and Mayan mythology. They are still a mainstay in Latin American and

Used for thousands of years to reduce fever and the feverish discomforts of colds and headaches, this cooling herb will also help to reduce inflammation. It is an old and reliable tonic for good eye health, relieving strain, night blindness and sore, tired eyes. History: Chrysanthemum is a hardy annual and perennial, native to China and Japan, that is now cultivated in Europe, the United States and many other places in the world because of the great commercial demand for the flowers. It may grow to thirty-six inches in height and thrives in rich, well-drained soil in a sunny, sheltered position. Its common and botanical name is derived from two Greek words, i.e., chrysos, meaning ''golden'' and anthos, meaning ''flower,'' and these beautiful ornamental flowers generally bloom in the autumn in most every color, including red, orange, yellow, white and lavender. They were introduced to the West from China in the eighteenth century and rapidly became popular as decorative ornamentals. In the East they have been valued in herbal medicine as a bitter, aromatic herb that cools the body since at least the first century A.D. The Chinese always steamed the flowers before drying to reduce bitterness, and they made a tea as a cooling and refreshing summer drink. Some of the constituents included in Chrysanthemum are stachydrine, choline, betaine, three flavonoids (acacetin, apigenin, luteolin) and vitamin B-1. Beneficial Uses: Chrysanthemum is believed to support good coronary health. It is thought to promote healthy blood pressure levels, dilate the coronary arteries and increase blood flow to the heart. The flower has used to relieve hypertension and is said to be helpful in cases of angina. Considered an antibacterial, Chrysanthemum is believed to inhibit the growth of pathogens, making it useful in preventing many diseases. In addition, new research has indicated that one of the flavonoids, acacetin, has been said to inhibit cell growth and cell cycle progression in certain human prostate cells. Chrysanthemum is famous for it

History: As night falls and the moon rises, the Evening Primrose blooms, and a lemon-scented fragrance radiates from its yellow petals. By daybreak, the flowers fade and await the new blossoms that will bloom the next evening. Evening Primrose is a hardy, erect biennial herb that thrives in dry soil and may reach a height of six feet. During its second year, showy yellow flowers appear and bloom in diminished light or in the darkness, and in optimum conditions this ornamental plant will self-seed. Evening Primrose is a North American native that grows in dry meadows from Canada to Texas and east of the Rockies to the Atlantic. It was brought to Europe in the seventeenth century, where it continues to be used in herbal medicine. The entire plant is edible, and it was once a popular food for North American Indians who also used it as a painkiller and as an asthma treatment. The oil derived from the seeds contains rare gamma linolenic acid, mucilage, tannin, lignin, amino acids, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, essential fatty acids, B-vitamins and vitamin E. Beneficial Uses: Evening Primrose possesses a high content of the rare gamma linolenic acid (GLA) that appears to produce a host of beneficial effects. GLA is an unsaturated fatty acid that assists in the production of prostaglandins, the hormones necessary for many important bodily functions. GLA helps the body produce energy and forms part of the structural fats that comprise the brain, muscle, bone marrow and cell

When it comes to fighting infections, Garlic enjoys the reputation as nature's most potent weapon against germs. Garlic is said to pulverize viruses, bacteria and fungi. If you want to detoxify your body, lower blood pressure, promote healthy serum cholesterol and blood sugar levels and enhance your immune system, give Garlic a try; you won't be sorry! History: Garlic has been prized for at least five thousand years, and so, it is difficult to trace its exact origin. One early botanist considered it to be indigenous to the southwest of Siberia, later spreading to southern Europe. Others claim that it came from Central Asia, where it was considered the most important herb in Persian herbal medicine. It is widely cultivated in the Latin countries bordering the Mediterranean, even growing wild in Sicily. Garlic has been described through the ages in almost spiritual terms and has been called the wonder drug of the herbal world. It is a bulbous perennial with a single stalk that may grow to three feet. Ancient Egyptians not only worshipped Garlic but also fed it to their slaves to keep them healthy, and a 3,500-year-old Egyptian scroll tells us that healers at that time believed Garlic could help a person fight cancer. Hippocrates (460 B.C.) is believed to have used Garlic to treat uterine cancer. In 1722, Garlic was used to protect against plague in Marseilles, and in London, in the early 1800s, where there was an outbreak of infectious fever in certain poor quarters, the Garlic-eating French priests who treated the sick did not die, but the English clergy, who did not eat Garlic, succumbed to the disease. Garlic contains a sulphide of the radical allil, which is rich in sulphur but contains no oxygen, thus giving Garlic its peculiar, penetrating odor. It also includes enzymes, linalool, oleanolic acid, quercetin, rutin, saponin, stigm

Other common names: Guggulu, Guggul, Guggulow, Indian Bedellium, Mukul Myrrh, Makkul, False Myrrh Gum Guggul has been used for centuries in India to treat arthritis, poor circulation and obesity. Today, it is believed to lower cholesterol levels in the blood, reduce high blood pressure, ease arthritis and enhance the immune system. It is also thought to increase metabolism and help in weight loss programs. History: There are many species of small, deciduous, mostly thorny shrubs and trees that belong to the Commiphora genus that are native to India, the Middle East, and parts of Africa and tropical Americas. The trees exude an oleo-gum resin that is known as myrrh, which has been used in the Middle East since Biblical times for infected wounds, bronchial and digestive complaints, and was especially associated with women's health and purification rituals. In India, it was traditionally used to treat poor circulation, dyspepsia, mouth ulcers, gingivitis, menstrual problems and arthritis. The term, ''bdellium,'' can refer to any of the trees that produce myrrh or to the resin or gum that the trees exude. The trees, which remain leafless most of the year, thrive in well-drained soil in full sun in a minimum of fifty to sixty degrees Fahrenheit and produce the pungent, astringent, aromatic oleo-gum resin that is used in herbal medicine. It is interesting to note that cardiovascular disease has been affecting civilization for thousands of years, and practitioners of Ayurvedic medicine understood many of its principles, including arteriosclerosis, and described it in the ancient medical treatises of Charaka Samhita. They understood that ''coating and obstructing channels'' may result in fatty streaks in blood vessels. To counteract the process, Ayurvedic practitioners have prescribed an amber-like resin that oozes from incisions in the Commiphora mukul, known as Gum Guggul. In the 1960s, the oleo-gum resin was systemically studied for its potential in the treatment of elevated blood cholesterol, or hyper-lipidemia. Continuing research in the 1980s, at the Banaras University in India (and elsewhere), demonstrated that use of Gum Guggul helped to significantly lower serum cholesterol (by an average of 17.3%) and triglycerides (by an average of 30.3%) in 78% of the patients treated, and the positive changes in blood lipids were noticeable after four weeks of therapy with no side effects reported. Gum Guggul has recently been found to contain unique saponins, known as guggulipids, which has been used to relieve ma

Because the human body cannot produce bioflavonoids, they must be supplied in the diet - and you need them for sound health! Recent studies indicate that bioflavonoids may be a big factor in preventing malignant and many other diseases. History: Hesperidin is classified as a citrus bioflavonoid (and flavonoid glycoside) found abundantly in citrus fruits. Citrus Bioflavonoids are a class of flavonoids that include rutin, hesperidin, naringin, quercitin, and they are used for the treatment of capillary fragility (easy bruising) and venous insufficiency (varicose veins, hemorrhoids, diabetic vascular disease and diabetic retinopathy). Hesperidin is an important member of a large group of compounds that are found in many herbs and plants, including onions (thought to have the largest amount), broccoli, citrus fruits (especially the white material just beneath the peel of citrus fruits), grapes, teas, blue-green algae, red apples, red wine and many others. Although not a real vitamin in the true sense, it is sometimes referred to as vitamin P, a so-called vitamin that maintains the resistance of cell and capillary walls to permeation. Flavonoids (or bioflavonoids; the two terms are interchangeable) are sometimes called nature's biological response modifiers, because they appear to be able to adjust the body's reaction to allergens, viruses and carcinogens. Bioflavonoids cannot be manufactured in the body and must be supplied through the diet, and they are necessary for good health and essential for the absorption of vitamin C. There are many different bioflavonoids, including quercetin, rutin, hesperidin, citrin, etc., and Hesperidin may be found highly nutritious foods, such as oranges, grapefruits, tangerines and other citrus fru
