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. Beneficial Uses: Buchu is well known for its beneficial stimulating and soothing effects on the urinary tract system of both men and women. The active ingredient, diosphenol (or barosma camphor), is said to be a potent antiseptic and diuretic, and the herb has been especially helpful in the treatment of urinary tract infectio |

Butchers Broom Root 10% Powder 1/2 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. Butcher's Broom - 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: Kneeholy, Knee Holly, Kneeholm, Jew's Myrtle, Sweet Broom, Pettigree, Box Holly Butcher's Broom is a wonderful way to relieve excess fluid in the system and a bloated feeling. If you are troubled with varicose veins or swelling brought on by excess water or poor circulation, Butcher's Broom may just provide the relief you seek. History: Butcher's Broom is a low, hardy, shrubby evergreen that is native to the Mediterannean regions, but grows throughout Europe and elsewhere in woods and waste places. The plant thrives in almost any soil, but prefers dry, well-drained soil in sun or shade. Like holly, it has prickly leaves and a single sharp spine, greenish-white flowers, and shiny red berries, but it is not related to the holly in any way, although several of its common names include holly, referring to the similarity in appearance. The common name, Knee Holly, is derived from the fact that it rises to a height of a man's knee, but it may reach three feet in height. The name, Butcher's Broom, is derived from the fact that the dried plant was actually used as a broom (until the twentieth century!) throughout Europe, mostly by butchers who used it to whisk scraps from their cutting blocks. The aerial parts and roots (which are thick and deep) are used in herbal medicine. Ancient Mediterranean healers utilized the root for circulatory and inflammatory disorders, and Greek doctors reported curing swelling with its use, referring to Butcher's Broom as ''the miracle herb.'' The first-century Roman scholar, Pliny, described its use as a cure for varicose veins in the first century, while Dioscorides highly recommended it as a diuretic and aperient (mild laxative), as well as a remedy for kidney stones and dropsy (edema). The herb was used regularly for many years to treat jaundice, gout and kidney and bladder stones, but recent use concentrates on venous insufficiency and hemorrhoids. Some of the constituents in Butcher's Broom include alkaloids, flavonoids, beta-carotene, chrysophanic acid, glycolic acid, rutin, saponin, calcium, chromium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phospho |

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: Umbrella Plant, Langwort, Bog Rhubarb, Flapperdock, Blatterdock, Capdockin, Butter Dock, Bogshorns, Butterbur-Coltsfoot, Sweet Coltsfoot*, Pestilence Wort, Pestilence Weed, Wild Rhubarb, Hat Plant Since Butterbur is no longer needed for ''pestilence,'' modern herbalists still esteem it for the relief of asthma, bronchitis, smoker's cough and other lung ailments. Recent studies show excellent promise for easing migraines and seasonal allergies. History: Butterbur is a large, stout, hardy plant with huge, rhubarb-like leaves and clusters of pinkish, purplish flowers that is native to Europe (with a wide distribution in Britain), north and west Asia, and has been introduced into North America. It is a perennial herb that spreads mainly via an underground creeping rhizome (root) with individual plants functioning either as females or males, and it is typically found growing wild in wet meadows, marshes, floodplains, or beside damp roadsides and waterways in shade. Butterbur is so-called, because its huge leaves, with their downy undersides, were used to wrap butter in the days before refrigeration, and its botanical name, Petasites, is derived from the Greek word, petasos, a type of hat with a wide brim, which is appropriate, since the leaves (which may grow to two feet in width) are used even today as impromptu sunshades or umbrellas (another common name). *Although Butterbur is closely allied to Coltsfoot (sometimes even called by that name), it is a different plant; however, the two plants do have many related constituents and share many applications. Since ancient times, Butterbur has been highly valued as a medicinal plant. In early days, it was used to treat fevers associated with the plague, because, as Gerard noted in 1597, the plant ''provoketh sweat and driveth from the heart all venom and evil[l] heat[e].'' The seventeenth-century herbalist, Nicholas Culpepper, recommended it as a ''strengthener of the heart,'' as well as a treatment for shortness of breath and removal of spots on the skin. Other historic remedies included treatments for removing small kidney stones (gravel) |

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: Philtron, Bird's Nest, Bees' Nest, Wild Carrot, Garden Carrot, Bird's Nest Weed, Bird's Nest Root, Devil's Plague, Queen Anne's Lace* *Important note: Carrot should never be confused with poisonous hemlock, which is also sometimes referred to as Queen Anne's Lace. Poor eyesight? Carrot is loaded with carotene that is very helpful for improving vision, especially night vision. Carrot is an extremely easily digested food and also benefits the digestive system, easing colic, heartburn, hiccups, flatulence and gastrointestinal distress. Highly nutritious Carrot is now a very popular ingredient in health drinks and diets designed to fight malignant diseases, and its potent antiseptic and diuretic properties also help to relieve urinary and bladder infections and eliminate kidney stones and gravel. History: Carrot is an annual or biennial herbaceous plant that is believed to be a native of the seacoasts of southeastern Europe, the Mediterranean region and western Asia, but now grows wild and cultivated throughout the temperate regions of the world. The plant produces an edible globular or long taproot in the first growing season and has been considered an important vegetable crop in Europe, North Africa and many parts of Asia since at least classical times. It is interesting to note that the familiar orange carrot is eaten mainly in Europe and North America, but Asian varieties range from orange, to white, dark red, yellow and even purple (Afghanistan). It was the Dutch who, in the 1500s, developed the orange Carrot, when they cross-bred yellow and purple varieties. The wild and cultivated varieties possess the same medicinal applications, but careful cultivation produces a fleshier, tastier root than its wild, spindly counterpart. Carrot may be found growing by the sea or in waysides, farmland, fields, roadsides and other open places, and it thrives in loose, sandy, well-drained, alkaline soil in sun or partial shade, possibly growing to a height of three feet; the cultivated variety is usually grown in heavily manured and fertilized loam or peat.

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: 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.''

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: Goose Grass, Grip Grass, Sticky Willy, Catch Weed, Bedstraw, Lady's Bedstraw Cleavers is considered one of the best cleansing tonics known that helps to rid the body of toxins and purify the blood, the lymphatic system and kidneys. It has been used to alleviate inflammatory urinary diseases, relieve swollen and enlarged lymph glands, expel stones and gravel, and generally help cleanse the system when the body is failing to rid itself of pollutants. History: Cleavers is one of several species of evergreen shrubs and trees that are native to Eurasia and the Americas with wide distribution worldwide. It is a weak-stemmed, sprawling annual that bears whorls of prickly, lance-shaped leaves on a square stem and small white flowers, which produce tiny, bristled fruits that often catch or cleave to passing animals, hence, earning the plant its name, Cleavers, and also its common name, Catch Weed. It is an ornamental plant that thrives in moist, well-drained, neutral-to-alkaline soil in shade and forms a dense, prickly mat over nearby plants, sometimes growing to a height of five feet. Cleavers' botanical name, Galium, is derived from the Greek word, gala, which means ''milk'' and is supposed to relate to the fact that the plant has the ability to curdle milk, which was beneficial in the making of cheese. The plants are cut when flowering, and the whole plant with seeds are used in herbal medicine. It is a relative of coffee, and when lightly roasted, it is used as a caffeine-free, coffee substitute, and it can be brewed into a refreshing tea with strong purifying tonic properties. Aside from Cleavers' medicinal uses as a cleanser for the lymph glands, kidneys and blood, the cooked shoots and young plants are considered a nourishing vegetable dish; in fact, in China, it is even considered a weight-reducing vegetable. When used commercially for non-medical purposes, a red dye can be extracted from the root and, perhaps, a more valuable application for Cleavers is its longtime use in cheese making, particularly in Cheshire, England, where some of the finest cheeses are made.

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: Stone Root, Richweed, Hardhack, Horseweed, Knob Root, Knot Root, Horse Balm, Rich Leaf, Knobweed, Oxbalm Collinsonia was used by generations of settlers and Native Americans alike as a ''cure-all'' and remedy for treating kidney and bladder stones. It is a potent diuretic that is said to relieve virtually all urinary tract disorders. Herbalists have long relied on it to reduce excessive water retention and alleviate diarrhea, colitis, digestive complaints and varicose veins. History: Collinsonia is a native North American perennial that may be found in the damp woodlands of Canada and the United States. The hard, knobby rootstock is brown-gray and sends up a quadrangular stem that bears oval, serrate leaves terminating in branches of greenish-yellow flowers that bloom from July to October. Collinsonia thrives in moist soil in partial shade and reaches a height of four feet. The whole plant exudes a strong lemon fragrance and a pungent, bitter taste, which has earned it the common name, Richweed; and its English and botanical name, Collinsonia, was bestowed upon it in honor of the man who discovered it, Peter Collinson. Generations of Native Americans and settlers alike in the mountains of Virginia, the Carolinas, Kentucky, and Tennessee used the leaves in lotions and washes to heal wounds, cuts, and bruises and considered the root, which appears to have potent diuretic properties, a reliable treatment for ''the stone,'' which is believed to be the root's traditional use for removing gravel from the bladder and preventing the formation of kidney stones. It is also thought to be the origin of one of the herb's common names, Stone Root. Collinsonia was also an important household remedy for headaches and constipation, and during the nineteenth century, Collinsonia continued to enjoy further use by physicians in the United States. It is still employed as a reliable diuretic by veterinary surgeons. Collinsonia is collected from the wild in autumn, dried, and used in herbal medicines.

History: Corn Silk is a collection of the stigmas (fine, soft, yellowish threads or tassels) from the female flowers of corn (maize), and they are four to eight inches long with a faintly sweetish taste. The wild origins of Corn are impossible to trace, because it has been cultivated for so many centuries, but it is thought to come from Mexico or subtropical regions and is cultivated in warm climates throughout the world. Archaeological evidence from the Tehuacan caves in Puebla, Mexico, suggests that people were using Z. mays from about 5000 B.C. It is an annual plant, and its hardiness varies according to the cultivars. Corn thrives in rich, well-drained soil in sun and may be propagated by wind pollination, and better if grown in a block. Maize was eaten and considered an important food source throughout much of North America and Central America, and it became the center of art and religious life for many Amerindian tribes. Moreover, many tribes used it in a variety of medicinal ways. The name corn is actually derived from an Anglo-Saxon word for a collective group of grains of cereals grown for food, but Maize/Corn did not actually reach the Old World until after Columbus discovered America, from whence it was carried back to the Old World and elsewhere. Columbus brought maize grains back to the Spanish court, originating from the Greater Antilles in the Caribean, and these were grown in Spain in 1493. Basque companions of Pizarro brought maize grains back from Peru and introduced maize growing to the Pyrenees. Maize growing spread rapidly in Europe, although only in southern Europe did it become a major crop. Maize w |

It grows to about six feet in height (but has been known to reach twelve feet!) and is distinguishable by the purple band around the leaf joint and the pale purple-to-white tubular flowers that bloom in August and September. The plant's stem is rigidly erect and usually hollow, and its leaves are broad, rough, and jagged, and when bruised, they exude a vanilla aroma. The root, with its fragrance resembling old hay, is used as an important ingredient in herbal medicine. Gravel Root was used as the ''remedy of choice'' by Native Americans, who employed it as a diaphoretic, and the Ojibiwas were known to wash their babies and children with a solution of Gravel Root in order to strengthen them.

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: Pearl Moss, Carrageenan, Red Seaweed, Chondrus, Carrahan, Carragheen, Carrageenin Another highly nutritious and remarkable gift from the sea, Irish Moss soothes mucous membranes and alleviates respiratory ailments, such as bronchitis, dry cough and other lung problems. Like many other bountiful nutrients from the ocean, Irish Moss is a wonderful tonic for maintaining youthful and clear skin and promoting a healthy glow. You may also find it helpful in a weight loss program. History: Irish Moss is a curly, red-purple to yellow-green, cartilaginous alga that appears at low tide on all the shores of the North Atlantic and comes from a genus of about fifteen species of marine algae. It is a perennial thallophyte with a height and spread from three to twelve inches and a disc-shaped holdfast. The plants are collected wild, growing on rocks and stones in pools and shallow saltwater and may be harvested by boat, using a rake (causing minimal damage to the holdfasts) and by hand from the submerged rocks. During the potato famine of the mid-nineteenth century, thousands of beleaguered Irish saved themselves from starvation by eating the humble, bushy seaweed known as Irish Moss. Like all gifts from the sea, Irish Moss is highly nutritive and carries all the positive qualities and rich elements that the oceans possess. One of its common names, Carrageen, is derived from a village in southeastern Ireland where the seaweed is plentiful. It is also found clinging to submerged rocks along the shorelines of Canada, New England, the British Isles and Europe as far south as Portugal. Irish immigrants who found it growing in Canada and on the New England shores were the first to harvest and use it in America, and thus Irish Moss has been an important edible seaweed on both sides of the Atlantic. The entire plant, which is dried and then soaked to swell back to its original bulk, with the liquid turning into a jelly, is used medicinally and for culinary purposes. It is commonly employed as a filler and stretcher of other foods and is eaten as is, or as a thickener for soups and stews. It |
