Chickweed Herb C/S (Stellaria media) 1 lb: C
This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Used as an infusion, decoction, extract, tincture, poultice and ointment. Chickweed is very high in vitamins and flavonoids, and was once used as food. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'It is held in great repute among herbalists, used mostly in the form of an ointment. The fresh leaves have been employed as a poultice for inflammation and indolent ulcers with most beneficial results. A poultice of Chickweed enclosed in muslin is a sure remedy for a carbuncle or an external abscess. The water in which the Chickweed is boiled should also be used to bathe the affected part. 'A decoction made with the fresh plant is good for constipation, and an infusion of the dried herb is efficacious in coughs and hoarseness.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Chickweed appears to be a cooling demulcent. I have seen the fresh leaves bruised and applied as a poultice to indolent, intractable ulcers on the leg, of many years' standing, with the most decided and immediately beneficial results; to be changed 2 or 3 times a day.' 'In acute ophthalmia, the bruised leaves will likewise be found a valuable application. An ointment, made by bruising the recent leaves in fresh lard, may be used as a cooling application to erysipelatous and other forms of ulceration, as well as in many forms of cutaneous disease (J. King). A tincture of Stellaria media has been extolled in some quarters as a remedy for rheumatic pains of a fugitive and shifting character.' |

Mayapple Root Powder: (Podophyllum peltatum; American Mandrake) 1 lb: C
This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Used as an infusion, decoction, extract, and tincture. The medicinal and edible fruit of the Mayapple was used extensively by Native Americans. The fully ripe fruit is eaten raw, cooked or made into jams, jellies, marmalades, pies. It is very aromatic, and has a sweet peculiar but agreeable flavor. It is the Mayapple's creeping rhizome, which is pencil-thin and can be up to 6 feet long, that is used medicinally. The gathering takes place in autumn when the plants are dying down, the rhizomes dried and crushed into a powder. Although the powder has been used as a remedy for conditions ranging from liver ailments to cancer, it is still best known as a purgative. But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration lists the use of the plant as 'unsafe.' Although Mayapple extract has been shown to be effective against skin cancer tumors, unfortunately, it was toxic to underlying tissue. In fact, pharmaceutical workers and their assistants handling the powdered root often developed skin sores and eye inflammations. However, because the extract, called podophyllin, contained at least 20 compounds that could be identified, there was a possibility that some of the beneficial components could be separated from the toxic ones. One of these beneficial components was shown to be effective in relieving the symptoms of rheumatism. The FDA is confirmed by the experts below - Podophyllum should be used only by professional herbalists. It can be a powerful and useful alternative medicine, but a dangerous one. Small doses given frequently should be used in order to prevent severe purgative action. Steep 1 tsp. in a pint of boiling water and take 1 tsp. of this tea at a time. Take 1 capsule a day for no longer than 1 week at a time. Should be administered under medical supervision. Not for children. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Antibilious, cathartic, hydragogue, purgative.' 'Podophyllum is a medicine of most extensive service; its greatest power lies in its action upon the liver and bowels. It is a gastro-intestinal irritant, a powerful hepatic and intestinal stimulant. In congested states of the liver, it is employed with the greatest benefit, and for all hepatic complaints it is eminently suitable, and the beneficial results can hardly be exaggerated.' 'In large doses it produces nausea and vomiting, and even inflammation of the stomach and intestines, which has been known to prove fatal. In moderate doses, it is a drastic purgative with some cholagogue action. Like many other hepatic stimulants, it does not increase the secretion of bile so much when it acts as a purgative.' 'Podophyllum is a powerful medicine exercising an influence on every part of the system, stimulating the glands to healthy action. It is highly valuable in dropsy, biliousness, dyspepsia, liver and other disorders. Its most beneficial action is obtained by the use of small doses frequ |

Rhodiola Root 3.0% Rosavins Powdered Extract (Rhodiola rosea) 1 kg (2.2 lbs): Q
Used as a food, food additive, infusion, decoction and extract. Traditional folk medicine used R. rosea to increase physical endurance, work productivity, longevity, resistance to high altitude sickness, and to treat fatigue, depression, anemia, impotence, gastrointestinal ailments, infections, and nervous system disorders. Rhodiola rosea: A Possible Plant Adaptogen - evaluation of therapeutic properties Alternative Medicine Review, June, 2001 (Altern Med Rev 2001;6(3):293-302) by Gregory S. Kelly (abridged) numbered references online at: http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FDN/is_3_6/ai_76487131 Rhodiola rosea is a popular plant in traditional medical systems in Eastern Europe and Asia with a reputation for stimulating the nervous system, decreasing depression, enhancing work performance, eliminating fatigue, and preventing high altitude sickness. Rhodiola rosea has been categorized as an adaptogen by Russian researchers due to its observed ability to increase resistance to a variety of chemical, biological, and physical stressors. Its claimed benefits include antidepressant, anticancer, cardioprotective, and central nervous system enhancement. Research also indicates great utility in asthenic conditions (decline in work performance, sleep difficulties, poor appetite, irritability, hypertension, headaches, and fatigue) developing subsequent to intense physical or intellectual strain. The adaptogenic, cardiopulmonary protective, and central nervous system activities of Rhodiola rosea have been attributed primarily to its ability to influence levels and activity of monoamines and opioid peptides such as beta-endorphins. Rhodiola rosea is widely distributed at high altitudes in Arctic and mountainous regions throughout Europe and Asia. It is a popular plant in traditional medical systems in Eastern Europe and Asia, with a reputation for stimulating the nervous system, decreasing depression, enhancing work performance, eliminating fatigue, and preventing high altitude sickness.[1] In addition to Rhodiola rosea, over 200 different species of Rhodiola have been identified and at least 20 are used in traditional medical systems in Asia, including R. alterna, R. brevipetiolata, R. crenulata, R. kirilowii, R. quadrifida, R. sachalinensis, and R. sacra. Rhodiola rosea has been intensively studied in Russia and Scandinavia for more than 35 years. Although the majority of this research on Rhodiola rosea is unavailable for review, available literature is supportive of its adaptogenic properties. Similar to other plant adaptogens investigated by Russian researchers, such as Eleutherococcus senticosus (Siberian ginseng) and Panax ginseng (Korean ginseng), extracts of this plant produce favorable changes in a variety of diverse areas of physiological function, including neurotransmitter levels, central nervous system activity, and cardiovascular function.

Chicory Root Roasted Granules (Drip-Grind), Cert. Organic (Cichorium intybus) 1 lb: K
This is Frontier’s double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. Thanks to its unique nutty flavor, gourmet chicory recipes are innumerable. The roots are sliced, kiln-dried, roasted, ground, and added to coffee, imparting a nutty, slightly bitter taste and dark color. Tortoni of Coffee with Chicory: http://www.recipesource.com/ethnic/americas/cajun/tortoni-coffee-chicory1.html: 3 Egg whites, at room temp. 1 pn Cream of tartar 1 c Sugar 2 c Heavy cream 1 c Louisiana coffee w/chicory 2 tb Coffee liqueur(opt) 1 c Almonds, slivered 1. In large bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form; geadually add half the sugar, beating until very stiff. 2. In separate bowl, beat cream, remaining sugar and half the coffee until stiff. 3. On low speed, blend in remaining coffee, the liqueur and half the almonds. 4. Spoon mixture into 8-inch springform pan; sprinkle with remaining almonds. 5. Cover with plastic wrap or foil; freeze until firm, about 4 hours. 6. To serve, scoop from the pan or cut into slices. Chicory & Caerphilly Strudel: http://ma.essortment.com/cheesestrudelr_ruzn.htm: 7 oz. defrosted pastry, rolled out very thin 5 oz. chicory, washed and shredded 1 onion, finely chopped 1 cup Caerphilly cheese, grated 1 egg, beaten 1 green salad to serve soft buttered rolls to serve Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C). Fold pastry into an oblong, twice. Roll firmly until thin again. Combine chicory and cheese. Spoon mixture into center of pastry. Brush edges of pastry with half the egg. Roll pastry and crimp shut. Cut 1 inch slices into top of pastry. Bake for 40 minutes until golden. Serve hot or cold with a green salad and soft buttered rolls. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Chicory, 'The dried, above-ground parts and/or roots' for 'Loss of appetite, dyspepsia. Side Effects: In rare cases, allergic skin reactions.' 'Average daily dosage: 3 g of herb; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Cut herb for teas, as well as other bitter-tasting preparations for internal uses. Action: Mildly choleretic.' Chicory works by increasing the flow of bile into the digestive tract, and is therefore an appetite stimulant and digestive aid, and is so recognized by contemporary scientific herbalism. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Enormous quantities of the plant are cultivated on the Continent, to supply the grocer with the ground Chicory which forms an ingredient or adulteration to coffee. In Belgium, Chicory is sometimes even used as a drink without admixture of coffee. For this purpose, the thick cultivated root is sliced, kiln-dried, roasted and then ground. It differs from coffee in the absence of volatile oil, rich aromatic flavour, caffeine and caffeotannic acid, and in the presence of a large amount of ash, including silica.' 'When infu |

We use only 100% Gluten-free, Vegetable Cellulose ''00'' capsules for all of our encapsulated products. We offer both bulk powder and capsules. 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. Acacia Bark - 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: Indian Gum Arabic, Wattle Bark, Black Wattle, Babul, Babool Acacia Bark is an ancient treatment used mainly for digestive disorders and diarrhea. It is an astringent that is rich in tannic acid that checks bleeding, discharges and excess mucus. Recent research has discovered that an extract from this highly astringent herb may block the body's pain triggers. History: A native of Australia, Acacia is one of more than seven hundred species of Australian Wattles, and it has been prized for its significant pharmacological, nutritive and toxicological associations in herbal medicine since before recorded history, an interplay that continues to the present day. Acacia is also highly valued commercially, in addition to its medicinal applications. Also known as Wattle Bark, Black Catechu and Black Wattle, it is collected from wild or cultivated trees that are seven years or older. It thrives in well-drained, neutral-to-acid soil in full sun at a minimum 45 degrees Fahrenheit. For medicinal purposes, the bark must be allowed to mature for a year, and it is often substituted in its medical applications for Oak Bark. Although they are different in appearance, both have an astringent taste. When boiled, the foliage and bark of the tree produces a dark brown, sticky substance known as gum or ''catchou'' or'' cutch.'' Acacia Bark is hard and woody with a rusty, brown color, and because it contained large amounts of tannin and gallic acid, its powerful astringency made it the backbone of the Australian and New Zealand tanning industry. The outer surface of older pieces is covered with thick blackish periderm, rugged and fissured. The inner surface is red, longitudinally striated and fibrous. The timber itself was highly valued commercially as a fuel wood, and the bark, also known as Babul, became a mainstay in the area's tanning and dyeing industries (source for khaki dye). That same astringency has special use when employed medicinally. Beneficial Uses: When used mainly in the form of a decoction, Acacia Bark is well known for its treatment of diarrhea and digestive ailments, |

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: Bramble, Cloudberry, Dewberry, Brambleberry, Fingerberry Blackberry is considered an old-time and reliable remedy for diarrhea and hemorrhage, and its high-astringency has made it very valuable in the treatment of internal and external bleeding, dysentery, hemorrhoids, loose bowels, excessive menstrual flow and excess water. History: Blackberries have been divided into hundreds of species, with two major kinds occurring in both Europe and North America. The European variety grows upright and heavily-thorned with stiff, erect canes that propagate by suckers from the roots. In contrast, the trailing forms of North America (often called dewberries in the South) have slender canes, are much less heavily-thorned, and the tips of the canes, if in contact with the soil, strike root and establish new plants. Both forms thrive in moist, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade and produce black or reddish-black berries with a deep purple, sweet-tasting juice. Fossil evidence shows that the Blackberry has been part of the human diet from very early times, and its dietary and medicinal uses were praised by both Greek and Roman scholars alike, mostly employing Blackberry as a remedy for gout. Since the time of Jesus, Blackberry Leaves have been used in the Middle East to cure bleeding gums and eliminate water from the system. In his Herball or Generall Historie of Plantes of 1597, the surgeon and apothecary, John Gerard, recommended Blackberry Leaf as a valuable astringent (both internally or externally) and treatment for piles, ''looseness of the bowels,'' stone, sore throat, and mouth - the very same uses that have remained valued to this day. In Crusoe's Treasury of Easy Medicines (1771), Blackberry Leaf is included as a remedy for long standing ulcers, and our own mountain people of Kentucky and Georgia used it to treat hemorrhaging, diarrhea, goiter, indigestion and flatulence. Blackberry fruits are eaten raw or cooked and made into syrups, cordials, jams, jellies and wines, and both the berries and leaves are added to herbal teas; the leaf and rootstock are used in herbal medici |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Buckthorn, Chittembark, Sacred Bark, California Buckthorn, Cascara Buckthorn, Persian Bark, Purshiana Bark Cascara Sagrada is sometimes called ''the world's favorite laxative,'' and is famous as a safe, natural way to cleanse the colon (usually acting overnight). Cascara also stimulates the production of gastric juices, promoting good digestion, as well as bile secretions, which encourages healthy gallbladder function. History: Cascara Sagrada, also known as California Buckthorn, is a hardy, deciduous, evergreen tree that is native to the northwest Pacific Coast, ranging from British Columbia to California. It thrives in well-drained, neutral-to-acid soil in sun or partial shade and may grow to a height of forty feet. The bark is peeled from the tree, collected and dried in the shade and becomes milder and less emetic for pharmaceutical purposes when aged for three years. Cascara Sagrada bark should always be aged for at least one year to allow certain chemical changes to occur that reduce griping effects. It was used by many tribes of Native Americans for its cathartic properties, and early Spanish priests of Mendocino, California, learned of its use from the locals, calling Cascara ''Sacred Bark,'' and holding it in very high esteem. Cascara eventually became adopted by the medical profession, and it was first commercially marketed by a pharmaceutical company in 1877 (Parke-Davis) and became officially listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia in 1890. It is interesting to note that no synthetic substance can equal the mild and speedy action of the ''holy bark,'' and these trees were almost endangered, when, early in the twentieth century, many of them were destroyed. Some of the constituents included in Cascara Sagrada include aloe-emodin, beta-carotene, glycosides, malic acid, calcium, iron, linoleic acid, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, silicon, zinc, B-vitamins and vitamin C. Beneficial Uses: Cascara is a mild but extremely effective colon cleanser and laxative that acts principally on the large intestine. T he bark is rich in hor |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Catmint, Field Balm, Catswort, Catnep, Catstrup Stressed-out, anxious, tense and sleepless people have often tried Catnip as a mild sedative that helps them to relax. It is an old and highly-nutritional remedy for the digestive system that is said to calm an upset stomach, reduce gas and ease pain and cramps. Your cat will love you, too, if you give it a Catnip-stuffed toy. History: Catnip is an erect, ornamental perennial that is native to Europe and western Asia and has been naturalized in North America. It grows along roadsides, in waste places and in mountainous regions up to five thousand feet with square, branching, hairy stems, pointed leaves with scalloped edges and spiked whorls of white flowers that are flecked with purple and red. The plant thrives in north-temperate regions in well-drained soil in sun and may reach a height of five feet. It is frequently used in gardens for its decorative appearance, as well as its highly valued use as an insect repellent that inhibits pests, including aphids, beetles and ants, among others, and is especially effective when planted in vegetable gardens. It does not, however, repel cats; they love it and are fascinated by it! The plant is thought to induce feline purring and relaxation (after producing an odd, frenzied state), and they also love it because it ultimately sedates their prey, including mice and birds. One of the commercially valuable uses of Catnip is in stuffed cat toys; and, of course (and of major importance), the cut tops and leaves have been used for centuries in herbal medicines. The Mohegans made a tea of Catnip for infantile colic, and it was also used historically in the United States to induce sweating and to cure colds. Catnip was included in the United States Pharmacopoeia from 1842 through 1882 and in the National Formulary from 1916 to 1950. It is a bitter, astringent, cooling herb with a pleasing aroma, and the leaves are steeped in a mint-like tea. Catnip is still popular in Europe as a treatment for bronchitis and for chronic diarrhea, and in France, it is c |

Other common names: Una de Gato, Hawk's Claw, Samento, Rangayo, Garabato Amarillo, Jipotatsa, Chacruk Cat's Claw is an exotic gift from the Peruvian rainforests that is becoming widely recognized as a superior immune stimulant with antioxidant, antiviral and anti-inflammatory qualities, and that's just the beginning! It is said to be a ''life-giving'' tonic that cleanses the intestinal tract, supports healthy blood pressure levels, and new research promises many other surprises. History: Cat's Claw, frequently called by its Spanish name, Una de Gato, is a tropical, creeping, woody vine that climbs upright, and when it connects to canopy trees, may reach a length of one hundred feet or more. It is a native of the rainforests of the Peruvian Amazon, and its English name refers to the small, sharp spines on the plant's stem, which are curved back like a cat's claw. It belongs to the same plant family as coffee, and the inner bark is used in herbal medicine. The native peoples of South America have used Cat's Claw for centuries to treat intestinal problems, heal wounds, remedy gonorrhea and also as a contraceptive. Current research is being carried out to reveal exciting applications for this herb, and it holds promise in treating a variety of illnesses that will, hopefully, bring positive results. Some of the constituents in Cat's Claw include alkaloids, quinovic acid, glycosides, triterpenes, oleanolic acid, ursolic acid and alloisopteropodine. Beneficial Uses: Cat's Claw is considered an anti-inflammatory agent that is thought to be good for all forms of arthritis, rheumatism and other inflammatory diseases. It is a rich source of sterols, the chemical compounds closely related to steroids, and the herb has been known to reduce swelling by approximately fifty percent in tests. Long prized as a general tonic for its ''life-giving'' properties, Cat's Claw is considered to be one of the finest immune stimulants, ranking among the upper tiers of other immune-boosting herbs. It is believed to effectively cleanse and detoxify the intestinal tract and replenish friendly bacteria. Most bowel di |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Common Celandine, Garden Celandine, True Celandine, Swallow Wort, Tetterwort *Note: Greater Celandine should never be confused with Lesser Celandine - an entirely different plant with different applications. Greater* Celandine has been used for centuries to cleanse the system with the ability to clear the liver and stimulate an under-active gallbladder and improve scrofulous diseases, eczema and jaundice. Greater Celandine is also thought to relieve spasms and indigestion. History: Greater Celandine is an herbaceous perennial with a thick and fleshy root, a round, slender and hairy, branching stem that breaks very easily. Greater Celandine (sometimes called True Celandine) grows mainly in Europe and Asia, but has also been introduced into North America, and it produces yellow or orange flowers, which is the only characteristic the plant shares with Lesser Celandine. The whole plant, which grows to a height of about three feet, abounds in a bright orange juice, which is emitted wherever the stems or yellowish-green leaves are broken. The juice is acrid with a nauseous taste and strong, disagreeable odor and is a powerful irritant. Greater Celandine may be found growing by old walls, on waste ground and in hedges, nearly always in the neighborhood of human habitations, thriving in most soil types in sun or shade. Its use may be traced to antiquity, when the first-century scholar, Pliny, called it chelidon, meaning ''swallow'' in Greek, because the plant comes into flower when the swallows arrive and fades at their departure. The plant's botanical, Chelidonium, is merely a corruption of its Greek name. Both Pliny and the later, sixteenth-century herbalist, John Gerard, recommended Greater Celandine to clear the films from the cornea of the eye. In his 1597 Herball or Generall Historie of Plantes, Gerard claimed, ''the juice of the herb(e) is good to sharpen the sight, for it cleanseth things that cleave about the ball of the eye and hinder the sight.''

Greater* Celandine has been used for centuries to cleanse the system with the ability to clear the liver and stimulate an under-active gallbladder and improve scrofulous diseases, eczema and jaundice. Greater Celandine is also thought to relieve spasms and indigestion. History: Greater Celandine is an herbaceous perennial with a thick and fleshy root, a round, slender and hairy, branching stem that breaks very easily. Greater Celandine (sometimes called True Celandine) grows mainly in Europe and Asia, but has also been introduced into North America, and it produces yellow or orange flowers, which is the only characteristic the plant shares with Lesser Celandine. The whole plant, which grows to a height of about three feet, abounds in a bright orange juice, which is emitted wherever the stems or yellowish-green leaves are broken. The juice is acrid with a nauseous taste and strong, disagreeable odor and is a powerful irritant. Greater Celandine may be found growing by old walls, on waste ground and in hedges, nearly always in the neighborhood of human habitations, thriving in most soil types in sun or shade. Its use may be traced to antiquity, when the first-century scholar, Pliny, called it chelidon, meaning ''swallow'' in Greek, because the plant comes into flower when the swallows arrive and fades at their departure. The plant's botanical, Chelidonium, is merely a corruption of its Greek name. Both Pliny and the later, sixteenth-century herbalist, John Gerard, recommended Greater Celandine to clear the films from the cornea of the eye. In his 1597 Herball or Generall Historie of Plantes, Gerard claimed, ''the juice of the herb(e) is good to sharpen the sight, for it cleanseth things that cleave about the ball of the eye and hinder the sight.'' The juice of the plant is so acrid that legend says Queen Elizabeth I once avoided a painful tooth extraction by dropping i |

History: As the source of linen fiber, Flax has been cultivated since at least 5000 B.C., and its importance continues today for its fiber and as a source of oil. Flax is a hardy annual that grows from one to four feet with narrow, hairy leaves and red, white or blue flowers that are followed by spherical capsules (bols), which contain seeds that are rich in oils with linoleic acid. Its history reaches back to the earliest times as a food (the seeds when roasted) and in the making of fine linen cloth. The Flax plant was grown in Palestine before the arrival of the Israelites. The Bible tells us that Rahab in Jericho hid two spies under stems of Flax she had been drying, and Solomon, praised his wife who separated the fibers of the Flax for fine linen. The Egyptians made fine linen clothing and used it for wrapping mummies in the embalming process. The medicinal properties of Flaxseeds were known to the Greeks, as Hippocrates recommended them for inflammations of the mucous membranes and digestive disorders, and in eighth-century France, Charlemagne passed laws requiring the seeds to be consumed to keep his subjects healthy. In North America, the use of Flax dates back to 1617, when L. Hebert, the first farmer in Canada, brought it to New France, and today, the crop grows widely on the prairies of Canada for its oil-rich seeds. The seed oil (linseed) is not only an important commercial ingredient in the manufacture of paint and varnish, but Flaxseed contains a wealth of nutritio |
