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. Goldenseal Root - Standardized Extract -- 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: Eye Root, Indian Dye, Yellow Indian Paint, Yellow Puccoon, Yellowroot, Ground Raspberry, Orange Root, Indian Turmeric, Eye Balm, Jaundice Root Goldenseal is immensely popular as an immune booster and antibiotic that is taken at the onset of a cold to help prevent further symptoms. Often called echinacea's partner, Goldenseal, is said to help stimulate the body's resistance to infection and is another ''must have'' herb for your home. History: Goldenseal is a hardy, herbaceous, North American woodland perennial that grows under two feet in height with a thick, yellow root and a single, erect stem producing leaves and a flower. The flowers are small, white, and a patch of Hydrastis will not remain in blossom longer than a week or ten days. From the flower, a single, red, inedible fruit emerges, but it is the roots, dug from three-year-old plants, that are used in herbal medicine. Its botanical genus, Hydrastis, is said to be derived from two Greek words signifying ''water'' and ''to accomplish,'' probably attributed because of its active effect on the body's mucous membranes secretions. Western knowledge of Goldenseal begins about two hundred years ago, when Benjamin Smith Barton's Essays Towards a Materia Medica of the United States was published with information about the herb. In 1798, he observed that the Cherokees used it as a folk cancer remedy, which is also one of the earliest observations of the occurrence and treatment of cancer among American Indian groups. Few wildflowers were as important to the American Indians as the versatile Goldenseal. The roots supplied the Cherokee and Iroquois with a brilliant yellow dye for their weapons and clothing, a paint for their faces (giving the plant one of its common names, Yellow Indian Paint) and medicinal remedies for indigestion, inflamed eyes, mouth ulcers, cancer, tuberculosis and edema. It may not have been effective for all those ailments, but its efficacy as an antiseptic and in stopping bleeding was well noted. Pioneers quickly adopted Goldenseal, and it became a mainstay of American folk medicine, freque |

Other common names: Soursop, Guanábana, Guanavana, Guanaba, Corossol Epineux, Huanaba, Toge-banreisi, Durian Benggala, Nangka Blanda, Brazilian Paw-Paw Graviola has a long history in the Amazon and West Indian tropics as a remedy for many ailments and particularly as an effective vermifuge, expelling internal worms and parasites. It has also been used to relieve depression and nervous disorders, as well as acting as an astringent to ease diarrhea. History: Graviola is an upright evergreen that is native to the Amazon jungle and some of the Caribbean islands and bears large, glossy, dark-green leaves, reaching a height of about twenty feet. The tree also produces a large, heart-shaped, yellow-green fruit with white flesh inside, that is both edible and delicious and sold in various local markets, where it is consumed by indigenous peoples. In 1526, the ''soursop'' (one of its common names) was described as being abundant in the West Indies and in northern South America. It is today found in Florida, Bermuda and the Bahamas (both wild and cultivated), from sea level to an altitude of 3,500 feet throughout the West Indies, and from southern Mexico to Peru and Argentina. The plant was one of the first fruit trees carried from America to the Old World Tropics, where it has become widely distributed from southeastern China to Australia and the warm lowlands of eastern and western Africa. Graviola is common in the markets of Malaya and Southeast Asia. Very large, symmetrical fruits have also been seen on sale in South Vietnam. It also became well established at an early date in the Pacific Islands, and the tree has been raised successfully, but has never fruited, in Israel. The slightly sour-tasting fruit pulp is also often made into drinks and sherbets. In Spanish-speaking countries, it is called Guanábana and Graviola in Portuguese-speaking Brazil, and it is also sometimes called paw-paw. Historically, the native people of the tropics used all parts of the Graviola tree in herbal medicines for a variety of remedies, and depending upon the country using the plant and/or the part of the tree used, |

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: Stinging Nettle, Common Nettle, Devil's Leaf, Great Stinging Nettle, Net Plant, Dwarf Nettle ''Tender-handed grasp the nettle And it stings you for your pains. Grasp it like a man of mettle And it soft as silk remains.'' Mineral- and vitamin-rich Nettle is a naturally nutritious way to help maintain a healthy urinary tract and flush toxins from your system. It is said to uplift a weary body, reduce fatigue and also improve thyroid, kidney and bladder functions. Nettle is also considered an age-old remedy for allergies and respiratory problems. History: Nettle is a fibrous plant, native to Eurasia, but distributed throughout the temperate regions of the world. It grows as a weed on roadsides and in waste places and thrives in moist, nitrogen-rich soil in sun or dappled shade. Nettle is a perennial herb with erect stems that may reach seven feet in height with coarse-toothed leaves that are covered with severely stinging bristles. Its botanical name, Urtica, is derived from the Latin, urere, meaning ''to burn,'' referring to the plant's stinging hairs; and the common name, Nettle, is derived from its Anglo-Saxon and Dutch equivalent, netel or noedl, meaning ''needle,'' possibly referring to the sharp sting of the leaves or its use in cloth making. Although Nettle is widely recognized as a stinging weed that produces a burning rash when touched, it deserves greater appreciation for its nutritive and medicinal uses. It was once widely drunk as a nutritious spring tonic (the boiling process removes the sting), as it is rich in protein, iron and vitamins. Its use may be traced back to the Bronze Age when it was greatly valued in Scotland and Ireland for its fibers that were made into a durable cloth, a use that continued into the twentieth century. In the second and third centuries B.C., Nettle was prescribed for hemlock and henbane poisoning and as a cure for snakebite and scorpion sting. The legions of Julius Caesar were said to have introduced Nettles to Britain, thinking they would need it to flog and rub their limbs to keep warm in the colder climate of the north; a |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Mountain Grape, Oregon Grapeholly, Oregon Barberry, Alegrita, Holly-leaved Barberry, California Barberry, Mahonia, Mountain Holly, Pepperidge, Sourberry, Sowberry, Yellow Root Oregon Grape is one of our most valuable herbs and thought to be unequalled in helping to purify the blood and liver of wastes and promoting a healthy gallbladder. It is also an effective antifungal and antibacterial. Moreover, Oregon Grape helps to treat many skin problems and ease digestive disorders. History: Oregon Grape, the state flower of Oregon, derives its name from its use as a medicine and food along the Oregon Trail, and that popularity as a food and medicine nearly led to its extinction in the late nineteenth century. Both the leaves and root bark of this evergreen perennial are used medicinally, and the root, containing the powerful alkaloid, berberine, was officially included in the United States Pharmacopoeia from 1905 to 1916. Oregon Grape was originally thought to be a species of Berberis and later determined to belong to its own genus, Mahonia, but all the species belong to the same plant family. Oregon Grape closely resembles Barberry (Berberis vulgaris ) in its chemistry and is used in similar ways, but the slightly different composition of the antiseptic alkaloid, berberine, makes it a better liver tonic. Oregon Grape has been called yerba de la sangre (herb of the blood), indicating its importance as a blood purifier. The smaller Mahonia repens (creeping Oregon Grape) is also used for similar medicinal applications. Oregon Grape was included in many culinary preparations, including a jelly that is rich in vitamin C, and was also used as a greenish-yellow dye. Blackfoot Indians called it Ot-to-gue and used it to check rectal hemorrhage, dysentery and stomach troubles. The Kwakiutls made a bark tea to offset an excess of bile, and Oregon Grape was also found to be beneficial for open boils, kidney troubles and as an antiseptic for wounds. In Europe today, Oregon Grape is used topically to treat psoriasis and dry skin rashes. Some of the principal constituents in Oregon Gr |

Other common names: Greater Plantain, Common Plantain, Ripple Grass, Cuckoo's Head, Rat-tail Plantain, Englishman's Foot, White Man's Foot, Ribwort, Waybread, Waybroad, Snake Weed, Broad-leaved Plantain, Dooryard Plantain Common Plantain, like all members of the plantago family, contains a high amount of mucilage, which soothes and cools mucous membranes, while at the same time its astringency helps to relieve diarrhea, excess menstrual flow, hemorrhoids and incontinence in children and adults. It is also used to soothe the lungs while effectively loosening and expelling phlegm and congestion. Plantain also helps to control vaginal and other types of infection, remove obstructions from the liver, kidney and bladder, and possibly help in managing weight control. ''...wherever the English have taken possession of the soil, the Plantain springs up.'' from Longfellow's ''Hiawatha'' History: Plantain is an annual or perennial plant that is native to Eurasia and introduced to the New World by early settlers. The plant has been naturalized throughout temperate North America and may be found wild in fields, roadsides, lawns and waste places, thriving in well-drained soil in full sun and grows from one to two feet in height. Plantain produces a radial rosette of broad, oval leaves and a few densely flowered spikes of greenish-white to greenish-brown flowers that bloom from April to October. It is frequently called a common weed that will take over a lawn, destroying and replacing the grass that originally occupied the site, but it has been greatly valued since antiquity for it medicinal qualities. It grows better than most other plants in compacted soils, and is wind-pollinated and propagates primarily by seeds, which are held on the long, narrow spikes that rise above the foliage. The standard native English name is Greater Plantain, though it is also called Common Plantain in some areas where it is introduced, particularly North America. It was one of the nine sacred herbs mentioned in the Lacnunga, the most ancient source of Anglo-Saxon medicine, where it was called ''The Mother of He |

Fight fatigue and help combat temporary depression with Rhodiola Root. Athletes like the stamina-building properties of Rhodiola Root, and this arctic native has been used to fight infection, anemic conditions and heart problems, while helping to enhance mental clarity and sexual function. It may also be useful for fighting fat! History: Rhodiola Root is a native of the arctic regions of eastern Siberia and may also be found in the mountainous regions of Asia and Europe at altitudes of eleven- to eighteen-thousand feet above sea level. The herb grows to about two and a half feet in height, and the fragrance of its flowers is similar to attar of roses, which is the reason it was given its botanical specific, rosea, and one of its common names, Roseroot. Rhodiola Root is a perennial plant with red, pink or yellowish flowers and has no biological relation to the ''common'' rose, but due to its similar fragrance, it has been used as a substitute for attar of roses. Its use in herbal medicine reaches back for centuries: Dioscorides, the Greek physician, reported on its use in his treatise De Materia Medica, and The Emperor of China organized expeditions to Siberia to bring back this highly valued plant. Rhodiola Root was used by the Vikings to enhance their physical stamina and strength and has long been used in traditional medicine, primarily in Russia and Scandinavia and by other people of the North, to treat fatigue, poor physical endurance, nervous system disorders and infections, and to enhance fertility. Rhodiola was included in the first Swedish Pharmacopeia, and in the 1930s, extensive research began in Russia, Scandinavia and Germany to seek the secrets of the ''Golden Root'' that had been used for centuries as an anti-ageing miracle that helped the people of Siberia cope with the cold climate and stressful life. In recent history, Rhodiola Root has been widely used by Russian athletes and cosmonauts to increase energy. Some of the constituents in Rhodiola Root include glycosides |

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.

Other common names: Cassia Senna, Senna Leaf, Alexandrian Senna, Egyptian Senna, Ringworm Bush, East Indian Senna, Nubian Senna, Rajavriksha Senna is a stimulating and powerful purgative that promotes the vigorous evacuation of the bowels and is very helpful in relieving severe constipation or when an easily-passed stool is recommended after rectal surgery or prior to a colonoscopy. History: Senna is a smallish, stubby shrub with an erect, smooth, pale green stem and long, spreading branches, bearing lanceolate leaflets and small yellow flowers; and depending upon the geographic location, the plant may grow anywhere from two to six feet. It is a native of Africa, the Middle East (particularly Egypt and Sudan) and India, and it was first brought into medicinal use by the ninth-century Arabian physicians, Serapion and Sesue, who gave it its Arabic name and employed it as a purgative. The Cassia acutifolia plant (also called Senna alexandrina orCassia senna) was exported from Egypt, via Cairo and the Red Sea, and Cassia angustifolia from India, via Madras; and by 1640, Senna was cultivated and being utilized in England for its cathartic properties. The herb was officially listed in both the British Pharmacopoeia and the United States Pharmacopoeia, and the herb is one of the few herbal medicines approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for over-the-counter use and may be one of the most widely used herbal medicines in the United States. In the United States, Senna leaf, fruit and extract are used in over-the-counter laxatives (e.g., Correctol®, ExLax®, Senokot®, Smooth Move®). In Germany, Senna leaf, Alexandrian Senna pod and Tinnevelly Senna pod are licensed as standard medicinal teas available only in a pharmacy, official in the German Pharmacopoeia and approved in the Commission E monographs.

Other common names: Bearberry, Bear's Grape, Crowberry, Foxberry, Hog Cranberry, Kinnikinnick, Mealberry, Arbutus, Manzanita, Mountain Cranberry, Mountain Box, Hogberry Uva Ursi has been used for centuries as a mild diuretic with powerful antiseptic qualities that help to remedy the full range of urinary tract infections, such as prostatitis, cystitis, urethritis and vaginitis, among others. It helps to eliminate wastes and toxins and the accumulation of uric acid in the blood to relieve gout, arthritis and kidney stones. It is also a great way to eliminate excess water weight. History: Uva Ursi is a low, trailing, multi-branched, irregular-stemmed, evergreen shrub that resembles a vine and forms a matted, dense mass of ground cover, which may grow to a height of eighteen inches. This low-maintenance perennial creates a protective carpet in the barren, sandy, sunny (yet damp) soils of the heaths and thickets in which it is found. Uva Ursi is said to be a native to Eurasia, but is naturalized throughout the Northern Hemispheres, northward to the Arctic Circle. It is distributed over the greater part of northern Europe, Asia and North America, where it may be found as far south as Virginia, and it is rare or protected in some states. The shrub produces brilliant red berries that are often mistaken for cranberries (hence, several of its common names) that remain on the plant all winter, affording survival food for bears, birds and other fauna. Noting the fact that bears were fond of the berries, the plant received its more common name, Bearberry; and its botanical name, Uva ursi, is derived from the Latin, meaning ''bear's grapes.'' The leathery-textured leaves of Uva Ursi hold a centuries-old place of honor in herbal medicine as a diuretic and tonic with very astringent qualities. Kublai Khan knew of the plant's medicinal properties, and it was used in China for incontinence. Records dating from thirteenth-century Welsh herbals describe Uva Ursi's medicinal properties, and other medicinal uses were recorded by Clusius in 1601, Gerhard of Berlin in 1763; and ultimately, Uva Ursi rated a place in |

Other common names: Oak Bark, Tanner's Bark, Quebec Oak White Oak Bark is a powerful astringent that has been used for centuries to control diarrhea, internal and external bleeding, excessive menstrual flow, nosebleeds and hemorrhoids. It is also a potent antiseptic that has helped to control bacterial invasion and infection and has been employed to relieve vaginal and bladder infections, among others. History: The White Oak tree is a stately, deciduous member of more than fifty species of oaks found in the United States, and is said to be native to the eastern part of North America. The ''Mighty Oak,'' long a symbol of strength (and the emblem on the first flag of the Revolutionary forces during the United States War of Independence), thrives as an ornamental in rich, deep, well-drained, acidic soil in sun or partial shade and may reach well over one hundred feet in height at maturity. In ancient times, the Oak was dedicated to Thor, the Norse god of thunder, and this gave rise to the false belief that an Oak tree could never be struck by lightning. This belief led to the placement of acorn symbols in a home for protection, with acorn-shaped wooden pulls attached to Venetian Blind cords to guard those dwelling within. Oak's botanical genus, Quercus, is said to be derived from the Celtic word, quer, meaning ''fine'' and cuez, meaning ''tree,'' and its botanical specific, alba, is translated from Latin, meaning ''white.'' The White Oak has been an important medicinal treatment in the history of Native Americans and settlers alike. Several Native Americans ate the ground meal from acorns of the White Oak as a dietary staple, and many tribes used White Oak Bark as an important medicine for diarrhea, wounds and hemorrhoids. The Menominees and Potawatomis used a liquid from the scraped inner bark medicinally as a treatment for piles, and the Penobscots drank its liquid to treat diarrhea. The settlers learned of its medicinal uses from the Native Americans and also used it as a substitute for the English Oak, often employing it in barrel making, leather tanning and shipbuilding.

Witch Hazel should always be in your cabinet. NOTE: Never drink Witch Hazel purchased from the drug store; it contains an alcohol that is not intended for internal use. History: Witch Hazel is a deciduous shrub or small tree that is native to the eastern seaboard of the United States and grows in damp woods from Canada to Georgia and extends to Nebraska. It is cultivated elsewhere for its autumn-blooming flowers, and the tree is considered endangered in Minnesota. It is a twisted shrub that grows from five to fifteen feet in height with leathery leaves that are shiny green on top and a dull gray on the bottom. The tree stands out in the forest in the autumn, because as other trees begin to lose their leaves, Witch Hazel is covered with golden yellow, threadlike flowers, thus making it appealing to landscapers as an ornamental plant. Centuries ago, Native Americans drank Witch Hazel tea as a general tonic and used it as a gargle for mouth and throat irritations. They also applied it to small wounds, insect bites and sore muscles and joints. The tribes introduced and shared the numerous medicinal applications of Witch Hazel to the European settlers, who promptly adopted it into their own daily lives. The name, Witch Hazel, was given to the shrub by the English settlers, who attached their own lore to the American species. Back home in England, the forked twigs of various European trees had been used as divining rods to locate water and minerals, and the twisted, bent branches of the Witch Hazel actually referred to an Anglo-Saxon word meaning ''to bend'' and not at all to magic or brooms |
