Saw Palmetto Berry Powder (Serenoa repens) 8 oz: B
Used as a decoction, extract and tincture. Native Americans Americans have long used the fruit of this shrub for food and harvested honey from its flowers. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Saw palmetto berry for 'Urination problems in benign prostatic hyperplasia stages I and II.' 'Daily dosage: 1 - 2 g saw palmetto berry or 320 mg lipophilic ingredients extracted with lipophilic solvents (hexane or ethanol 90 percent v/v); equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Comminuted herb and other galenical preparations for oral use. Actions: Antiandrogenic; Anti-exudative.' Benign prostate enlargement appears to be triggered by abnormally high levels of the male hormones testosterone and dihydrotestosterone in prostate tissue. Saw Palmetto reduces absorption of these hormones within the prostate gland, while reducing inflammation and swelling. This reduces bladder obstruction and improve urinary flow. Saw Palmetto prevents the conversion of testosterone to dihydortestosterone, which helps to prevent the development of prostate disease and may also be beneficial for genitourinary problems, endocrine disorders, infertility, impotence, menstrual disorders, ovarian dysfunction, lactation, thyroid deficiencies, and painful menstrual periods. Saw palmetto does not appear to inhibit production of testosterone elsewhere in the body. At least three rigorous clinical trials have confirmed Saw Palmetto's ability to remedy urinary difficulties. In one comparative trial, it proved equal to the prescription drug Proscar (finasteride) as a source of symptomatic relief (although, unlike Proscar, it had no beneficial impact on the size of the prostate). Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Diuretic, sedative, tonic. It is milder and less stimulant than cubeb or copaiba, or even oil of sandalwood. Like these, it has the power of affecting the respiratory mucous membrane, and is used for many complaints which are accompanied by chronic catarrh.' 'It has been claimed that sabal is capable of increasing the nutrition of the testicles and mammae in functional atony of these organs. It probably acts by reducing catarrhal irritation and a relaxed condition of bladder and urethra. It is a tissue builder.' 'Dosages: Of fluid extract, ½ to 1 drachm. Of solid extract, 5 to 15 grains.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Saw palmetto appears, from clinical reports, to be a nutritive tonic. It is also an expectorant, and controls irritation of mucous tissues. It has proved useful in irritative cough, chronic bronchial coughs, whooping-cough, laryngitis, acute and chronic, acute catarrh, asthma, tubercular laryngitis, and in the cough of phthisis pulmonalis. Upon the digestive organs it acts kindly, improving the appetite, digestion, and assimilation.'

Polyporus Sclerotium (Polyporus umbellatus; Umbellate Pore Fungus; Zhu Ling) Whole: 500 gm (1.17 lb): V
A sclerotia-forming mushroom used in Chinese herbalism as a diuretic for urinary infections and edema. Contemporary scientific research reveals it to be strongly antitumor, a natural antibiotic, antimalarial, antiinflammatory and liver protective. Chinese studies have found it significantly effective in treating cirrhosis, hepatitis B and in aiding the immune system of patients in recovery from lung cancer chemotherapy. In a Chinese clinical study of 146 patients, Polyporus umbellatus was used to reduce the recurrence of bladder cancer by nearly 50%. It has been very useful in the treatment of urinary tract infections and may limit leukemia cell proliferation. It is also a potent anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant, immune enhancer, and assists with lung and respiratory function. 4–8 grams per dose, decocted as tea or in capsules or food additive. This is Plum Flower brand's nitrogen-flushed vacuum pack. Plum Flower is one of the most distinguished herb houses in the world. Sulfur Free, Chlorine Free, Aluminum Phosphate Free. Sulfites are used to give herbs the appearance of freshness. As with dried fruit, unsulfured herbs look different than those that are adulterated with preservatives. Herbs that are preservative free are more natural looking and are generally darker. The brightness of the herbs may be appealing, but it indicates the presence of harmful additives. Despite their appearance, unsulfured herbs are more fresh and safer than regular commercially available products. The use of sulfur, chlorine and aluminum phosphate was made unnecessary through the establishment of Plum Flower processing stations in China. Herb harvesters slice and process the herbs fresh, avoiding the need to rehydrate dried herbs later to process. This first step is crucial, as rehydration leads to decomposition and thus the need for preservatives. The herbs are then packed and the packages vacuum-packed, injected with nitrogen, and sealed. The nitrogen process combined with the lack of sulfur treatment inhibits the growth of anaerobic organisms, resulting in safer, higher quality herbs. After opening, store in a cool dry place. Plum Flower's Lanzhou and Guang Zhou factories are so clean, they are certified by the Australian Government’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (GMP). These standards surpass any of the FDA, and are considered the highest for any government agency in the world. |

Asparagus Root Powder 1 lb bottle: HE
This herb is BULK DISCOUNTED in our 10 lb & 25 lb bulk packs. To find the bulk packs, just copy and paste the herb name into our Search, or refer to our Bulk By The Kilo & Ton category. 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. Asparagus Root - 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: Sparrowgrass, Shatavari, Asperge, Garden Asparagus Feeling bloated? Asparagus Root is a restorative, cleansing herb that helps rid the body of excess water and salt and is thus helpful in treating hypertension. This highly nutritious vegetable also helps soothe the pain and swelling of joints due to gout, rheumatism or arthritis; and because it is high in folic acid, it helps to prevent anemia. Asparagus has long been considered a natural laxative and even an aphrodisiac. History: Asparagus, the well-known table delicacy, is an herbaceous perennial that is native to the eastern Mediterranean area, and now over one-hundred and fifty species are cultivated throughout much of the world. Interestingly, most species contain asparagine, a powerful diuretic that gives the urine a characteristic odor in those who lack the gene to break it down. Asparagus officinalis has been cultivated for over two thousand years as a vegetable and also as a medicinal herb with noticeable diuretic and laxative effects. The botanical specific, officinalis, was bestowed on the plant to recognize its status as ''official'' with a long commercial history as a medicinal herb. In ancient times, it was greatly esteemed as a nutritious vegetable by the Greeks and Romans. In 200 B.C., Cato, in his On Farming, gave directions for growing Asparagus that are similar to those in a modern manual of agriculture. Woody, thick-rooted crowns bear buds that produce tender spears, which may reach a height of five feet. Those short, thick rootstocks send up the tender, young shoots that we enjoy as vegetables. Young shoots are steamed and served hot or cold as a vegetable and pureed or finely chopped in soups. The parts of A. officinalis that are used medicinally are the rhizomes (root) and young shoots. Traditional Chinese herbalists consider the plant to promote feelings of love and compassion, and Chinese pharmacists save the best roots of this plant for their families and friends. In Indian Ayurvedic medicine, the herb is used to increase fertility, reduce menstrual cramping and boost milk product |

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: Blueberry, Huckleberry, Black Whortles, Whortleberry, Burren Myrtle, Whinberry, Dyeberry, Wineberry, Grouseberry, European Blueberry, Fraughan (Irish) Improve your vision! During World War II, some RAF pilots enjoyed Bilberry preserves on their bread, and it was noted that these men were more successful in hitting their targets. Later research discovered that Bilberry does, in fact, reduce eye irritation, nearsightedness and night-blindness, and it also extends range and clarity of vision. Pregnant women find the herb to be beneficial, as it fortifies veins and capillaries and combats fatigue. History: Bilberry is a shrubby perennial plant that is native to the northern parts of Europe, Asia and North America and may be found in damp, acidic soils throughout the temperate and subarctic regions of the world. The angular, green, branched stem grows from a creeping rootstock to a height of one to two feet, and the leaves are alternate, weakly serrate, dark green and shiny on top and approximately one inch long. The reddish pink or red and white, solitary, auxiliary flowers have a pitcher shaped corolla and appear in May and June. The fruit is usually blue-black; it may be red in some cases, and the berry is five-seeded. Bilberry is similar in appearance and closely related to the American blueberry and huckleberry, but it contains higher quantities of the constituents useful for improved eye health and better circulation. The easiest way to distinguish the Bilberry is that it produces single or pairs of berries on the bush instead of clusters like the blueberry. Another way to distinguish them is that while blueberry fruit meat is light green, Bilberry is red or purple. Bilberries are rarely cultivated but fruits are sometimes collected from wild plants growing on publicly accessible lands, notably in Scandanavian countries, Scotland, Ireland, England and Poland. Its name is derived from the Danish word, bollebar, meaning ''dark berry,'' and its botanical genus,vaccinium, is derived from an ancient Greek word derived from prehistoric Mediterranean languages, referr |

The herb has been used to relieve cramps of all kinds, including menstrual pains, and relaxes muscles and eases spasms and pains of the lower back and legs. Black Haw Bark is also said to support uterine function, help regulate excessive blood flow during menstruation and menopause and ease postpartum, uterine and ovarian pain. Black Haw Bark is also mildly sedative and helps to relieve many nervous conditions. History: Black Haw is one of about 150 species of evergreen and deciduous viburnums, including shrubs and bushy trees, and it is said to be native to North America, particularly southern Canada and northeastern United States, where it may be found on rocky hillsides, in thickets, woods and on shores and borders of streams. The tree may also be found growing in the thickets and hedgerows of England and northern Europe. Black Haw is a hardy, deciduous ornamental that resembles the elder tree, growing to a height of thirty feet and producing shiny, green leaves, topped with heads of snow-white flowers and drooping clusters of blue-black berries. The prunifolium species produces a larger-fruited berry than its relative, Vibernum opulus (also called Cramp Bark), and it was used in colonial days as a delicious preserve (always cooked, as the berries can be poisonous). Although its applications are similar in nature, the prunifolium species (Black Haw) is considered slightly weaker in its antispasmodic actions on the uterus than its V. opulus cousin. Black Haw thrives in deep, moist soil in sun or partial shade, and the bark is stripped before the leaves change color in autumn or before the leaf buds open in the springtime and dried for use in herbal medicine. It is sometimes also called Cramp Bark and shares many of its cousin's common names because it is so closely related to it and has similar m |

Other common names: Violet, Sweet Violet, Garden Violet, Common Blue Violet, English Violet Blue Violet Leaf is best known as an effective expectorant that works to clear the upper respiratory system of phlegm and relieve bronchitis, dry coughs and asthma. This Sweet Violet also has an age-old reputation for cleansing blood, calming nerves and relieving headaches. History: Blue Violet is a tiny, but hardy, member of a large family of perennials. It is a native of the Old World and now commonly distributed throughout the world. This delightful messenger of Spring is cultivated as an ornamental and also grows wild in meadows, thickets, hedges and along roadsides and edges of woods, where its creeping rootstock sends out runners along the ground that take root. This modest, spreading plant creates good ground cover and thrives in rich, well-drained, moisture-retentive soil in sun or partial shade and generally grows to a height of six inches. Since about 500 B.C., Blue Violet Leaves have been used medicinally, and were actually first known in poultices to treat skin cancers. It was the national flower of Athens, where it was prescribed to moderate anger, and Violet was also the plant of Venus and Aphrodite and believed to suggest strong emotions. The Romans drank it in a wine, and the first-century Roman scholar, Pliny, recommended it for preventing headaches, dizziness, gout and spleen disorders. The Violet was the favorite flower of Napoleon (sometimes nicknamed Caporal Violette), who died wearing a locket of Violets from Josephine's grave. The famed seventeenth-century herbalist, Nicholas Culpeper, recommended its cleansing qualities, saying that it ''doth purge the body of choleric humours,'' and in herbal medicine, Blue Violet Leaf has traditionally been regarded as a cleansing herb with a background of treatment for cancer. In the 1930s, it was widely used by herbalists for cancer and is still occasionally featured in alternative cancer therapies, but there are no clinical trials to prove its efficacy. Violets are used to flavor and color candy and breath fresheners; included on c |

It has been known to strengthen the urinary system and is used to ease inflammation of the bladder, reduce bloating and excess water weight, alleviate painful urination, reduce swelling of the prostate and eliminate uric acid from the kidneys. History: Buchu, a native bush of South Africa, is a strongly aromatic, ornamental herb that grows in well-drained acid soil in full sun and covers several species that have been gathered for medicinal and industrial purposes. Other species that can be used interchangeably with Barosma serratifolia-Agathosma serratifolia (long leaf variety) are Agathosma betulina-Barosma betulina (round, short leaf), Agathosma crenulata-Barosma crenulata (ovate leaf), simply describing variations in the configuration of the leaves. The plant's name, Buchu, is derived from the Hottentot word for the plant, bookoo, meaning ''dusting powder,'' and in traditional African medicine, Buchu was, in fact, used as a powder to deter insects. For four hundred years, the South African Hottentots have also used the dried leaves for various urinary, kidney, and prostate disorders. The Hottentots also use the leaves, with their rue-like fragrance, to perfume their bodies. Early in the 1800s, the leaves' fine medicinal qualities were introduced into Europe. One of its commercial uses is to enhance the aroma of the liqueur, Cassis, and to flavor wines and brandies. Some constituents included in Buchu are rutin, mucilage, barosma-camphor, volatile oils (including limonene and diosphenol), menthone, quercetin, quercetrin, hesperidin, alpha-pinene, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, silicon, zinc, vitamin B-1, B-2, B-3 and vitamin C.
