Bladderwrack Powder (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.

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.

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: Bugbane, Black Snakeroot, Bugwort, Cohosh, Rattle Root, Richweed, Rattleweed Black Cohosh is famous for its beneficial effects on women's health. The herb is said to provide relief from menstrual problems (including PMS) and is considered indispensable as a natural way to ease menopausal discomforts. Black Cohosh is thought to be a wonderful, natural sedative that has been used to relax the entire body, relieve aches and pains and alleviate anxiety and depression. History: Black Cohosh is a stately perennial that is native to North America. It grows from three to nine feet in height in open woods and on the edges of dense woods from Canada to Georgia in the east and as far west as Missouri. Black Cohosh's botanical name, Cimicifuga, is derived from Latin, meaning ''bug repellent,'' and the strong odor emitted from Black Cohosh has, in fact, made it an effective insect repellent or ''bugbane'' (as it is sometimes called) over the centuries. Its common name, Cohosh, comes to us from an Algonquian word meaning ''rough,'' a reference to the root's texture. It is odd that a plant with prominent white flowers should be named ''black'' and is often a point of confusion; the ''black'' refers to the dark color of the roots, which are used in herbal medicine. Black Cohosh is not related to Blue Cohosh. Native Americans used Black Cohosh for menstrual cramps and the pains of childbirth, and they also made a topical poultice from it to remedy snakebites. The early colonists used it for yellow fever, malaria, fevers, bronchitis, dropsy, uterine problems and nervous disorders. By the nineteenth century, Black Cohosh was also considered helpful in the treatment of rheumatism, and many of the earliest patent medicines contained high concentrations of Black Cohosh. It was the main ingredient in ''Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,'' an over-the-counter remedy promoted in the early nineteenth century for relieving stress and nervous tension in women. Black Cohosh has become the best-selling herb in the world for treating menstrual problems and ''female complaints,'' and it is a ''women |

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: Squaw Root, Papoose Root, Blue Ginseng, Yellow Ginseng, Beech Drops, Blueberry Root Blue Cohosh is an important ''women's herb'' that was introduced to early American settlers by Native Americans to ease childbirth, menstrual problems and pelvic inflammation. It is an herbal medicine used for missing menstrual periods, painful periods and, historically, for false or early labor (birth) pains. Modern herbalists still use it to treat women's health problems, as well as bronchitis and rheumatism. History: Blue Cohosh is an acrid, bitter, warming, native American perennial. Reaching between one and three feet in height, this handsome plant grows wild in many parts of North America in rich, moist soil in shade and near running streams and around swamps. It is so bitter that animals will not eat it when grazing, and the berries of the plant are toxic and cannot be used as medicine. Blue Cohosh was commonly used by the Native American tribes to alleviate cramps, ease menstrual problems and to facilitate childbirth. The Cherokee, Chippewa and Iroquois used it for delayed delivery and to promote menstruation. Early settlers learned of the herb's beneficial properties from the Native Americans and used it for promoting labor and easing the pain of childbirth, so that prolonged labor and exhaustion would be diminished. The common use of the herb for childbirth and labor gave rise to several of its common names, i.e., Papoose Root and Squaw Root. Its popular use in herbal medicine led to its inclusion in the United States Pharmacopoeia (1882-1905). Some of Blue Cohosh's constituents include beta-carotene, caulophylline (its active principle), saponin, caulophyllo-saponin, gum, starch, phytosterols, soluble resin, vital minerals (potassium, magnesium, calcium, selenium, iron, silicon and phosphorus, which help to alkalinize the blood and urine), B-vitamins and vitamin C. The roots of Blue Cohosh are used in herbal medicine. Beneficial Uses: Blue Cohosh has been used primarily for hundreds of years to help women, particularly in the area of childbirth.

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: Feverwort, Sweating Plant, Agueweed, Vegetable Antimony, Thoroughwort, Indian Sage, Crosswort, Teasel, Wood Boneset Long before there was aspirin, there was Boneset! In the nineteenth century, Boneset was the standard household remedy in North America for coughs and colds. Today the herb is still considered a valuable treatment for coughs, flu symptoms, bronchitis and upper respiratory congestion. It has also been used to reduce fever and ease the bodily aches and pains accompanying it. History: Boneset is a hardy perennial with long, erect stems and lanceolate leaves and flowers that grow up to five feet in height. This particular species of Eupatoria (perfoliatum) is a native of eastern North America and is a common and familiar plant that grows in low, damp meadows, swampy areas and along stream banks from Nova Scotia to Florida. Boneset was a favorite of the North American tribes who introduced its medicinal benefits to the settlers. The Menominees used Boneset to reduce fever; the Iroquois and Mohegans liked it for fever and colds; the Alabamas believed it eased upset stomachs; and the Creeks used it to relieve body pain. Its use became legendary among both Native Americans and settlers alike for its capacity to cause profuse perspiration, reduce fever, relieve colds and flu, loosen the bowels and treat malaria. Its botanical name, Eupatorium, may be traced to the ancient king, Mithridates Eupator, who first used another species of this genus as a medicine. The plant's common name is derived from its use in treating a kind of influenza prevalent in the United States during the nineteenth century, known as ''break-bone fever,'' which was characterized by pains that felt as if all the bones in the body were broken. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Boneset was said to have no equal as a cough, cold and fever remedy, and in the nineteenth century, it was used extensively in American medical practice. In 1887, Dr. Millspaugh wrote: ''There is probably no plant in American domestic practice that has more extensive or frequent use than this (boneset),'' and it |

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: Bromelainum Bromelain is an enzyme that digests protein. The German Commission E Monograph has recommended Bromelain's use for good digestion, as an anti-inflammatory for the relief of joint inflammation (very helpful for athletic injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritic conditions), for relief after traumatic injury and after surgery and for the treatment of sinusitis and bronchitis. New research has also demonstrated important immune system and heart health benefits that may be derived with the use of Bromelain. History: Bromelain is one of a group of proteolytic enzymes that are capable of digesting protein and is found in the stem and fruit of the pineapple plant. It is extracted from the pineapple by filtration or by chemical processing, and both are safe and effective. The German Commission E (the equivalent of the USFDA) recommends the use of Bromelain as a digestive aid, a treatment for traumatic injuries and joint inflammation and a treatment for bronchitis and sinusitis. There is a great deal of new research currently being conducted into its use as an antibacterial, an antiviral (including HIV) and an immune system enhancer. Beneficial Uses: Bromelain is considered an aid to good digestion, because it intensifies the digestive process by breaking down protein, and facilitates the passing of food to the intestine. The ability to speed protein digestion makes it useful in treating Crohn's disease, and the protein digesting enzymes found in it may help to heal gastric ulcers and relieve symptoms of heartburn and stomach and gastrointestinal upset. It is believed to promote and maintain overall proper digestion and may be used as a digestive enzyme for pancreatic insufficiency. Interesting note: It is so effective in digesting protein that the food industry employs Bromelain to tenderize meat. In the matter of diabetes management, Bromelain's ability to facilitate the passing of food to the intestine helps to counteract gastroparesis, a condition caused by long-term diabetic nerve damage, in which the stomach is unable to pass food along properly.

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Smallage, Marsh Water Parsley, Wild Celery, Garden Celery, Marsh Parsley Gout sufferers take heart! You may find relief with Celery Seed. Its diuretic action not only promotes the flow of urine and uric acid excretions from the kidneys, but its antiseptic properties ease urinary inflammation and benefits the overall health of the urinary tract. Celery Seed is also thought to be especially helpful to people who suffer from joint discomforts, such as arthritis and rheumatism. History: Celery has been used since earliest times as a food, for flavoring and for medicinal purposes. Of uncertain origin, perhaps the Mediterranean region, the bitter marsh plant grew wild on wet and flooded salt marshes, and it is sometimes called ''smallage,'' a biennial with stalks that grow from one to two feet. Celery Seed is the dried fruit (tiny brown seed with a celery-like flavor and aroma) of the Apium graveolens. Its botanical genus, the Latin, apium, may be derived from a prehistoric Indo-European word for water. If true, it seems logical that celery's growth preference is wet soil and marshes. The town of Selinunte in Sicily derived its name from the Greek word for the plant, selinon (S?????). The ancient Egyptians used the plant for culinary purposes, and Celery leaves were part of the garlands discovered in the tomb of the Egyptian pharoah, Tutankhamun. The Greeks and Romans used Celery for medicinal and culinary purposes, and there was even a popular belief that it was an aphrodisiac. The use of Celery Seed for relieving pain and inflammation was described by Aulus Cornelius Celcus (c. 30 AD). It was also regarded in ancient times to have magical properties and was frequently associated with rites and celebrations of death and the underworld. In the Middle Ages, Italian farmers began to cultivate ''smallage,'' and once begun, this cultivation steadily improved its quality. When the seeds were first used is not clear, but we know that the English herbalist, Nicholas Culpeper, wrote in 1653 that Celery Seeds would ''sweeten and purify the blood.''

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Sources: Lemon (Citrus limon) and Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) Although bioflavonoids are not true vitamins, they are sometimes referred to as vitamin P, because they possess the healthful qualities of vitamins. Citrus Bioflavonoids are a class of flavonoids that includes rutin, hesperidin, quercetin, eriodictyl and citron, and they are essential for the absorption of vitamin C. Normally found in highly nutritious foods, such as citrus, nuts, fruits and plants, bioflavonoids must be supplied through the diet, because the body cannot produce them, and we should supply them to maximize good health! They are thought to boost vitamin C's efficacy, strengthen fragile capillaries, reduce cholesterol, improve blood circulation and act as antioxidants. Now you can take Citrus Bioflavonoid supplements as an easy and simple way to provide this natural source of sound health! Background: Bioflavonoids are not true vitamins in the strictest sense, sometimes being referred to as vitamin P, and may be found in herbal plants, fruits, nuts and bark; and because they cannot be manufactured by the body, they must be supplied through the diet. The letter ''P'' represents permeability factor, and it was given to this group of nutrients because they improve capillary strength and permeability. Citrus Bioflavonoids are a class of flavonoids that includes Rutin, Hesperidin, Quercitin, Eriodictyl and Citron, and they are essential for the absorption of vitamin C, which should be taken simultaneously, so they may act synergistically for maximum benefit. Citrus fruits are well known for providing ample amounts of vitamin C, but they also provide Citrus Bioflavonoids, which are located in the white material just beneath the peel of citrus fruits and may be found in grapefruits, lemons, tangerines, limes and oranges. Other sources of bioflavonoids include apricots, nuts, peppers, buckwheat, blackberries, black currants cherries, grapes, plums, prunes and rose hips. In addition, several herbs also provide bioflavonoids, including Chervil, Elderberry, Hawthorne Berry, Horsetail and Shepherd's Purse. Beneficial Uses: Citr |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Dog Grass, Quackgrass, Twitch Grass, Witch Grass Couch Grass bears a root with a high mucilage content that is said to be extremely soothing and helpful for problems in the urinary system. It not only helps to ease painful urination, but it is also used to relieve prostatitis, urethritis, cystitis, enlarged prostate, gravel in the bladder and kidney stones. History: Couch Grass is a perennial that may be found in fields and waste places of the Americas, northern Asia, Australia and Europe, and it is similar to (and sometimes mistaken for) Johnson Grass. This extremely vigorous grass thrives in most loose soils, such as light sandy soil, in sun or shade and generally grows to a height of three feet with long, creeping roots, slender leaves and erect flower spikes that bear green flowers. The roots and seeds of Couch Grass have occupied a very important place in herbal medicine since ancient times, but the plant is not a friend to the farmer, because once established, it becomes an almost uncontrollable, invasive weed. The Grass family may perhaps be one of the most important plants to mankind, with its grains providing breads, cereals and food staples of all kinds, and the mucilaginous roots possessing distinctive medicinal virtues. The English name, Couch Grass, is believed to be a derivation from the Anglo- Saxon word, civice, which means ''vivacious,'' referring to the plant's tenacity of life, and one of its botanical genus names, Agropyron, is derived from a combination of Greek words meaning ''wheat grasses'' and ''wheat fields.'' Interestingly, one of the carbohydrates found in Couch Grass is termed triticin, which is derived from the Latin word, triticum, which means ''wheat.'' Since ancient times, the Romans utilized Couch Grass medicinally in the treatment of urinary problems and kidney stones. The famed English herbalist, Nicholas Culpepper, also greatly praised Couch Grass as a treatment for diseases of the kidneys, and the herb was officially entered into the ''Indian and Colonial Addendum'' of the British Pharmacopoeia.

The roots and seeds of Couch Grass have occupied a very important place in herbal medicine since ancient times, but the plant is not a friend to the farmer, because once established, it becomes an almost uncontrollable, invasive weed. The Grass family may perhaps be one of the most important plants to mankind, with its grains providing breads, cereals and food staples of all kinds, and the mucilaginous roots possessing distinctive medicinal virtues. The English name, Couch Grass, is believed to be a derivation from the Anglo- Saxon word, civice, which means ''vivacious,'' referring to the plant's tenacity of life, and one of its botanical genus names, Agropyron, is derived from a combination of Greek words meaning ''wheat grasses'' and ''wheat fields.'' Interestingly, one of the carbohydrates found in Couch Grass is termed triticin, which is derived from the Latin word, triticum, which means ''wheat.'' Since ancient times, the Romans utilized Couch Grass medicinally in the treatment of urinary problems and kidney stones. The famed English herbalist, Nicholas Culpepper, also greatly praised Couch Grass as a treatment for diseases of the kidneys, and the herb was officially entered into the ''Indian and Colonial Addendum'' of the British Pharmacopoeia.

At the same time, you may also benefit from better digestion and the relief of bloating, excess water weight and puffiness. History: Devil's Claw is a trailing perennial vine that grows wild to a length of about five feet. It is native to the Transvaal of South Africa, where it has been popularly embraced for over 250 years by the various cultures (including Hottentots, Bantus and Bushmen) as an appetite stimulant and treatment for fevers, arthritis, sores and boils. It grows in waste places and on roadsides in sandy soils, devoid of other vegetation. The barbed and thorny fruits that resemble hooks or claws give the plant its name, but its medicinal properties are found in the tuber and root. Devil's Claw root has only recently been introduced into North American herbal medicine, and it is currently very popular in Europe. Pharmacologists have discovered that Devil's Claw contains chemicals like those in many other pain-relieving herbs that stimulate circulation and carry inflammatory chemicals away from affected tissues. The plant contains at least three bitters, including the iridoid glycosides called harpagide, harpagosid, and procumbide, and also includes luteolin, oleanolic acid, cinnamic acid, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium and zinc. Beneficial Uses: Devil's Claw is an anti-inflammatory and painkilling agent that has demonstrated very positive results when tested for relief of lower back pain. The harpagide content in Devil's Claw has exhibited anti-inflammatory activity and has been thought to bring relief to sufferers of arthritis, rheumatism, carpal tunnel syndrome, gout and tendonitis. The herb has also demonstrated significant improvement in people who had the most severe, radiating pain with numbness in the extremities. Like all bitters, Devil's Claw has been used for many years as an aid to good digestion and improving the appetite. The glycosides stimulate the stomach production of acid, thus |

Grapefruit Seed - 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. Grapefruit Seed is an active botanical extract that may be one of the most powerful supplements that effectively helps to destroy bacteria, viruses, fungal strains and many kinds of parasites, microbes and disease-causing pathogens. Moreover, the high vitamin-C content is a potent immune enhancer that helps to ward off colds, flu and possibly even malignant disease; and the biotin in its high vitamin-B content helps to efficiently utilize dietary body fats. History: The Grapefruit tree is believed to be descended from the pomelo (Citrus maxima), which is native to India and other parts of Asia. The pomelo was first taken to London by an Englishman, and from there it was introduced into the West Indies, where, after genetic mutation of the seed, the Grapefruit was born, becoming one of the most popular citrus fruits in the Western Hemisphere. Botanically, it was not distinguished from the pomelo until the 1830s, when it was given the name Citrus paradisi. Grapefruit was probably introduced into Florida about 1809, and did not extend west until the advent of the railroads, but the fruit is now grown in warm climates throughout the world, where it thrives as a crop in light, sandy, well-drained soil in full sun with ample moisture during the growing season. It requires a warm climate - minimum of 41 degrees Fahrenheit - with no frost, since young (only) trees are vulnerable. The mature tree is handsome, growing to forty feet in height, or even more, and bearing fruit in ''grapelike'' clusters, sometimes bearing a dozen or more fruits grouped closely together, and thereby giving Grapefruit its name. Grapefruit is a large, round, yellow-skinned (also pink and white-fleshed), tart-flavored member of the citrus family that can weigh anywhere from one to five pounds and closely allied to orange and lemon. There is even a green-skinned variety called the ''Sweetie,'' which is less tart than the others. The pink and red hues contain the beneficial antioxidant, lycopene. The botanical genus, Citrus, was originally called kedromelon [?ed??µ????] in Greek, meaning ''apple of cedar,'' but the frui |
