Other common names: Hesperin Methyl-chalcone Hesperidin is a bioflavonoid (sometimes called vitamin P) that is packed with natural antioxidant, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antiallergenic qualities. Normally found in highly nutritious foods, such as oranges, tangelos, grapefruits, tangerines and other citrus fruits, we can also easily take it in a dietary supplement. 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 |

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 |

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: Buckeye, Common Horse Chestnut, Bark Bongay, Konker Tree, Spanish Chestnut Horse Chestnut is used to improve the circulatory system. It strengthens capillary walls and dilates blood vessels, which helps to relieve varicose veins, phlebitis, swollen ankles and local edema. The herb is said to reduce blood clots and hardening of the arteries, and may thus help to prevent strokes and heart attacks. Horse Chestnut also helps to loosen and expel lung congestion, which alleviates bronchitis, respiratory catarrh and coughs. History: The Horse Chestnut is a large deciduous tree that is native to southeastern Europe (notably the Balkan countries) and cultivated in temperate Europe and North America (in 1763, the first Horse Chestnut tree was blooming in a Pennsylvania garden). The sturdy Horse Chestnut is a close relative of the buckeye tree (Ohio Buckeye [Aesculus glabra] or the California Buckeye [Aesculus glabra californica], etc.), which is a native of North America, but quite different in application. The Horse Chestnut tree is highly ornamental and bears palm-shaped, serrate leaves, chandelier-like white flowers with a pink-to-yellow spot, followed by globose, spiny, green-brown fruits filled with several shiny, red-brown seeds. This exotic tree, frequently considered a sign of prosperity, may reach a height of eighty to one hundred feet and can be found in parks, gardens and streets, thriving in fertile, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. According to Renaissance herbal writings, the Turks used the Horse Chestnuts to treat respiratory ailments in horses; hence, we have its English name, as well as its botanical specific, hippocastanum (hippo is the Greek word for horse). Native Americans of the Northeast used Horse Chestnut as a remedy for cold symptoms and ''carried'' the nuts to ward off rheumatism. It is interesting to note that in European folk medicine, it was also carried in the pocket for preventing and curing arthritis. Horse Chestnut was also used to relieve hemorrhoids.

Astragalus Root Sliced (Astragalus membranaceus; Huang Qi) 25 lb: K
This is Frontier's economical 25 lb. bulk pack. That is, twenty-five pounds packed in a heavy duty plastic bag within a sturdy cardboard box. Used as a decoction, extract, tincture and dietary supplement. This legendary medicinal plant is a perennial with long, fibrous roots, native to North China and Inner Mongolia. It is sold in both wild and cultivated forms. Chinese pharmacies sell bundles of thin root-slices that resemble tongue depressors and have a sweet taste. These are simmered in medicinal soups, the slices being removed before serving because they are too tough to chew. Obviously, the root powder can be swallowed along with the rest of the decoction. Practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine consider astragalus a true tonic that can strengthen debilitated patients and increase resistance to disease in general. In contemporary Chinese medicine, it is also a chief component of zheng fu therapy, a combination herbal treatment designed to restore immune function in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Astragalus is a complex combination of polysaccharides, triterpene glycosides, flavonoids, amino acids, and trace minerals Astragalus polysaccharides have been shown to stimulate pituitary-adrenal cortical activity and restore depleted red blood cell formation in bone marrow. Again, confirming traditional Chinese medicine, Astragalus has been shown to stimulate the body's natural production of interferon. Astragalus is now prescribed, in both the East and the West, for immuno-compromised people, or people who easily 'catch' illnesses. The decoction is safe to use repeatedly on a daily basis. Research in China has demonstrated increased survival in patients receiving both herbal and Western therapies, as well as protection from the immunosuppressive effects of the latter. Studies in the West confirm that astragalus enhances immune function by increasing activity of several kinds of white blood cells and boosting production of antibodies and interferon, the body's own antiviral agent. Numerous scientific studies have confirmed the medicinal value of astragalus. Immunopharmacology (1990;20) and Mutation Research (1992) found enhancement response by Astragalus extract, Journal of Ethnopharmacology (1990) reported a hepatoprotective effect and indicated that ethanol extract of Astragalus alleviates liver injury, Archivos del Instituto de Cardiologia de Mexico (1993) announced the vasodilator and antihypertensive properties of Astragalus extract. Since the 1950s, scientists have discovered the potential use of Astragalus for treatment of cancer (The Journal of Urology 1991;146:486-490). Investigations conducted by institutions for cancer research indicated that in areas where selenium content in foods is high, rate of stomache cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, bladder cancer, colon cancer, etc, is low. Selenium content prevents cell damage caused by hydrogen peroxide and oxidative |

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: Chinese Red Yeast Rice, Red Rice, Fermented Rice, Red Yeast, Anka, Ankak, Hung-Chu, Hongu, Red Koji, Red Leaven The use of Red Yeast Rice as a treatment for colic, diarrhea, digestive disorders and poor circulation may be traced back to the Tang Dynasty in China; and throughout Asia, it is an important traditional food. More importantly, however, is its recent introduction in Western society as a supplement that may significantly reduce serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. History: Red Yeast Rice is the product of fermentation of rice with various strains of the yeast (Monascus purpureus), and it has been utilized for centuries in China and throughout Asia as both a food and herbal medicine. The traditional method of making Red Yeast Rice is to ferment the yeast naturally on a bed of cooked, non-glutinous, whole rice kernels. The brick-red yeast that grows on rice yields a family of ten different statin compounds, lovastatin among them. It was apparently first noted as a medicine during the Tang Dynasty (A.D. 618-917) and employed for treating indigestion, diarrhea, congestion of the spleen and for improving blood circulation, among other applications. Red Yeast Rice was introduced to Taiwan by winemakers in Fukien, China, about a century ago and became popular in the preparation of foods, including fish, meat, rice wine (fu chiu), red soybean curd and pickled vegetables. It was (and still is) employed as a coloring agent and is also said to add flavor to foods and wines. The fungus, Monascus, which has been isolated from Red Yeast Rice, was introduced into Western society by Dutch scientists who noted its beneficial effects on the people of Java in 1884. It was introduced into the United States during the latter half of the 1990s as a dietary supplement for the promotion of healthy serum lipid levels. The botanical specifics, purpureus and rubus, are a recognition of the herb's purple or moderate rose/red coloration. Some of the consitituents in Red Yeast Rice include starch, protein, fiber, fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, linolenic, palmitic, ste |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Satsuma-imo, Japanese Sweet Potato White Sweet Potato is a powerhouse of nutrients that acts as an antioxidant, helping the body to rid itself of free radicals that attack and damage healthy cells and tissue and to promote healthy heart function. It is also considered an anti-inflammatory that eases the discomforts caused by arthritic conditions, and White Sweet Potato is believed to stabilize sugar levels in the blood. History: The White Sweet Potato is an herbaceous, mainly creeping (sometimes semi-erect) perennial that is descended from the sweet potato, which is native to Central and South America, where it was domesticated at least five thousand years ago (some say ten thousand!). The plant spread throughout the Americas, and an interesting controversy has arisen with regard to its reach throughout the world. The sweet potato was also found in pre-Columbian Polynesia. Exactly how they arrived in the Orient is a subject of fierce debate in scholastic circles. The sweet potato was one of the first plants to be introduced from the Americas to Europe during the voyages of Columbus; from there, Portuguese traders carried it to Africa, India and Asia. This is called the ''batata line'' of dispersal. Now the controversy: There is another line that is said to predate the others. Archaeological sites have produced stored sweet potato tubers in Pacific Islands that date back at least one thousand years - prior to European exploration. Some scholars claim that Peruvian voyagers carried them to the East, and others assert that Polynesian travelers transported the plants. To complicate matters, a third line of dispersal has been introduced, and one that is often neglected - Nature. The sweet potato is tolerant of a wide range of environmental conditions, and there are slight differences in coloration and composition throughout the world, depending upon the local agricultural conditions. For example, the White Sweet Potato has dark-pink skin and is sweeter than the American sweet potato, which is similar to the yam, but should not be confused with it (as so often happens), as it be |

Other common names: Betony*, Betonica, Bishopswort, Purple Betony Wood Betony is an old folk remedy that is said to be unsurpassed for easing headaches, especially those related to nervous tension, anxiety and debility. It also helps to facilitate digestion, relieve gastritis, heartburn and gas. Wood Betony is known as a blood purifier that is believed to improve liver, gallbladder and spleen health. ''Sell your coat, and buy Betony.'' - old Italian proverb *Note: Wood Betony should not be confused with another species, Pedicularis bracteosa, which has also been called Betony, but is an entirely different species from the Scrophulariaceae family with different properties and applications. History: Wood Betony is a pretty woodland plant with hairy, square stems that bear aromatic, round-lobed leaves and dense spikes of very rich pink, red or purple flowers arranged in dense whorls that bloom in summertime. This hardy perennial may reach three feet in height and may be found growing wild in meadows or cultivated (particularly in old European gardens), thriving in rich, well-drained, neutral-to-acid soil in sun or partial shade. Native to Europe, Wood Betony is now planted in many parts of the world with temperate climates, and there are several related species found in Asia. In ancient Egypt, Wood Betony was endowed with magical powers and was also highly esteemed in antiquity as a remedy for a wide variety of ailments. The botanical genus, Stachys, is a Greek word, signifying a spike, which aptly describes the plant's distinctive mode of flowering. The herb's English name, Betony, is said to be derived from the Latin name, Vetonica (according to the first-century Roman scholar, Pliny), referring to a people from the Iberian Peninsula, called the Vettones, and this may also be the basis of its original botanical name, Betonica officinalis. Modern scholars, however, claim that the word is derived from a primitive Celtic form of bew (head) and ton (good), because of the plant's historical use for complaints in the head. Wood Betony was highly esteemed as a medicinal herb by the Greeks and |

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. Yucca - Botanical Extract 4:1 -- 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: Mojave Yucca, Spanish Dagger, Soapweed, Spanish Bayonet, Needle Palm, Our Lord's Candle An important food source for many early Native Americans, many tribes also relied on Yucca to cleanse and detoxify the body (inside and out!). Today, we still regard Yucca as a wonderful blood-cleansing tonic that helps to rid the kidney and liver of toxins. It is also a remarkable source of healthful nutrients and may even help to relieve arthritis. History: The Yucca belongs to a genus of stiff-leaved evergreen plants, trees and shrubs, and there are about fifty species native to North America, most of them native to the southwestern United States, Mexico and Central America. Some, however, are found in arid areas of southern Alberta. The coarse desert succulent has long, spike-like leaves that resemble a dagger, giving the plant several of its common names, i.e., ''Spanish Bayonet'' and ''Spanish Dagger,'' and many are cultivated for their striking appearance as ornamentals. The various plants may grow anywhere from four to twenty-five feet in height and reproduce only by pollination of the Yucca moth, a perfect symbiotic relationship. Yucca typically grows on rocky desert slopes and thrives in full sun and well-drained soil; it also needs no summer water. The bark of Yucca is gray-brown, and the plant bears white, bell-shaped flowers, sometimes having a purple tinge, produced in a compact, bulbous cluster. Yucca occupied a very important place in the history of the American Southwest as both a food source and medicine, and it also served many other purposes. Navajo warriors carried the dried fruits with them during long journeys as a nutritious food (and soap), and the Hopis especially understood its natural cleansing properties. Several of the southern tribes used Yucca to induce vomiting. The plant was used to cure baldness and treat dandruff, and the fibers in Yucca were utilized in cloth-making, cordage and baskets. In modern medicine, some very early laboratory tests have shown some anti-cancer properties against melanoma in animals and possible anti-malignant growth a |
