Keep it healthy and nourished with Milk Thistle. This remarkable herb is said to have no pharmaceutical equivalent for its beneficial effects on the liver, spleen and gallbladder. Rid yourself of toxins and temporary depression, and boost your immunity with Milk Thistle. In the meantime, you'll also gain valuable antioxidant protection. History: Milk Thistle is a stout, spiny annual or perennial that is native to the Mediterranean region and has been naturalized throughout Europe and parts of North America and Australia. This common weed grows to about six feet in height in the dry, rocky soils of fields and waste places. The plant produces a purple flower, and there are distinctive white markings on its leaves, which legend has described as the splashes of the Virgin Mary's milk. Historically, it has been a very popular plant in Europe for its medicinal and dietary qualities and is still a favorite in France as a wholesome, delicious vegetable and as an ingredient in salads. The seeds and leaves are used in herbal medicine, and their use goes back two thousand years. The Greek, Dioscorides, prescribed Milk Thistle to remedy the poison of snakebite, and in the first-century, the Roman, Pliny, wrote that it was excellent for ''carrying off bile,'' meaning that it restored impaired liver function, a claim that has been justified by many modern researchers. In the Middle Ages, the liver was regarded as the seat of emotions (both in Europe and in traditional Chinese medicine), and depression and emotional distress were ultimately thought to be caused by a malfunction of the liver. Consequently, Milk Thistle was commonly prescribed to remedy such ailments, and the herb was widely used as a spring tonic to provide relief from the pent-up emotions and depression housed in the liver. It was an early remedy for the winter's doldrums and ''blues.'' According to the noted herbalist, Gerard, in his |

It's a good herb to have handy for flu and chest colds. History: Mullein is a biennial plant that is native to regions bordering the Mediterranean Sea. It became naturalized in Europe and later escaped to North America, where it is often found growing wild in waste places and along roads as a weed, resembling a stately sentinel. Mullein is a strikingly beautiful plant that when cultivated is a stately addition to any garden. Like spinach, Mullein has oval leaves that grow close to the ground, but its flower spike may extend to a height of eight feet in springtime. Because of its thick, soft leaves, it is commonly called Grandmother's Flannel and Our Lady's Flannel. As a biennial, there is only foliage for the first year, which is then joined the next year by the flower. If it sheds its seeds, it will propagate itself; otherwise, it will have exhausted itself and will not return the third year. When in the wild, the seeds scatter and continue to propagate, but in cultivation, reproduction must be tended. Since antiquity mankind has used the velvety Mullein plant, which was prescribed by the Greek physician, Dioscorides, for respiratory ailments, a therapeutic use that continues to this day. Mullein is the plant that Ulysses took with him on his legendary voyage to protect himself against the wiles of the enchantress, Circe; and in Rome, General Agrippa said the fragrance would overpower demons. The Romans also used it as a hair rinse and carried the stem as a torch in religious processions, and later use also included dipping the tall stalks of this plant in tallow and lit as torches.

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 Oreg |

Try Parsley Leaves, and at the same time, you'll get high doses of vitamins C, A and D, as well as potassium (important for lowering blood pressure), calcium (good for osteoporosis) and folic acid (which may help prevent cardiovascular disease). Parsley also acts as a mild laxative and remarkable diuretic. History: Parsley is a biennial or perennial herb that originated in the eastern Mediterranean region as a wild plant, but is now found in cultivation everywhere. The leaves are dark green and shiny and packed with nutrition. For more than two thousand years, it has been highly regarded as a medicinal herb to treat gastrointestinal disorders, and ancient Greeks also valued Parsley for its soothing and diuretic effect on those with kidney and bladder ailments. Galen even recommended Parsley for ''the falling sickness'' (epilepsy), and the Greeks also adorned victors at the Isthmian games with wreaths of Parsley Leaves. Used as a tomb decoration in ancient Greece and Rome, Parsley was thought to possess magical powers and was also associated with the underworld and death. In one legendary Greek myth, King Lycurgus's son, Opheltes, was left for a short time by his nurse who pointed out the location of a spring to thirsty soldiers. When she returned, the child had been killed by a snake, and Amphiarus, the seer and soldier who viewed the incident, said it was a bad omen and correctly predicted his own death in the upcoming battle. He gave Opheltes the surname, Archemorus, meaning ''the first to die,'' and the child became the symbol of impending death. From his blood the first Parsley plants were said to have sprung. What is now an indispensable and nutritious addition to our dinner table was never brought to the table of old, being held sacred to the dead, and it continued to be associated with death through the ages. Although the plant remained an important part of the herbalists' repertoire, it remained associated with magic and the underworld through the Middle Ages as one of the Devi |

Other common names: Self Heal, All Heal, Brunella, Woundwort, Wound Root, Heal All, Slough Heal, Blue Curls, Hercules' Woundwort, Hook-Heal, Heart of the Earth, Carpenter's Herb, Xia Ku Cao, Dragonhead, Common Self-Heal Prunella is an old treatment for internal and external bleeding and wounds, including excessive menstruation and bleeding ulcers. It is said to be a potent antiviral agent and has shown great promise in laboratory tests for possible use in herpes, HIV and AIDS treatments. History: Prunella is a creeping perennial that is native to Eurasia and grows throughout Europe and North America, where it may be found in damp meadows, pastures, waste places and on roadsides, thriving in moist, well-drained soil in sunny areas or light shade. It is a genus of seven harbaceous plants known as ''self-heals.'' When imported to North America and Australia, it quickly became naturalized as a common wildflower and abundant in open and exposed situations, tending to oust native flowers. It is a diminutive plant but will grow larger in all its parts when growing in more sheltered places. The main stem of the plant is grooved and rough to the touch and bears pointed oval leaves with dense, purple flower clusters (sometimes blue or pink). Prunella does not appear to have been known to the ancient Romans or Greeks, but it was mentioned in Chinese medical literature during the Han Dynasty (206 B.C.- A.D. 23) as an important herb in the treatment of complaints associated with a disturbed liver, high blood pressure and conjunctivitis. In Western medicine, it has always been regarded primarily as a wound herb, giving rise to many of its common names, Woundwort, etc. The name its botanical genus, Prunella, is derived from Brunellen, a name given to it by the Germans, because it rose to prominence when military physicians used it to treat a contagious fever that raged among the German imperial troops in 1547 and 1566, that was characterized by a sore throat and a brown-coated tongue. The fever was called ''the browns'' (brun is the German word for ''brown''). In John Gerard's Herball of 1597, he claime |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Gray Sarsaparilla, Mexican Sarsaparilla, Vera Cruz Sarsaparilla, Equadorian Sarsaparilla, Shot Bush, Red-bearded Sarsaparilla, Brown Sarsaparilla, Smilax, Jamaican Sarsaparilla, Honduran Sarsaparilla, Rabbit Root Sarsaparilla has long been used as a blood purifier and tonic that boosts stamina and energy. Although there is no definitive evidence, many body-builders strongly maintain that Sarsaparilla (or Smilax) helps to build muscle mass, while avoiding the harmful side effects of anabolic steroids. Sarsaparilla is considered a fine tonic herb, an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, and the herb may even act as an aphrodisiac. Perhaps this is the reason that the ''Good Guys'' of the Old West, who disdained whiskey in favor of Sarsaparilla, always seemed to have that extra edge. History: Sarsaparilla is a woody, perennial, climbing vine, native to the rain forests of Central and South America, Jamaica and Caribbean regions, and also grows in other temperate zones such as southeast Asia and Australia. The root is long and tuberous and supports a ground-trailing evergreen vine that may reach fifty feet in length with paired tendrils for climbing (often high into the rainforest canopy). It produces small flowers and black, blue or red berry-like fruits, and the fragrance of the root (which has been used for centuries in herbal medicine) is spicy-sweet, and it has a pleasant taste. Before processing, the roots are bitter, sticky and have a strong odor. They are dried and boiled in order to produce the extract. In beverages, i.e., Root Beer made from Sarsaparilla roots, it is generally more ''birchy'' in taste than the extract used in the more popular, commercial brands, and it is also used for its foaming qualities. Sarsaparilla is available in the United Kingdom as a carbonated beverage that has been produced for over 115 years by Britain's ''Last Original Temperance Bar,'' which is noted for being the oldest known producer of the Sarsaparilla drink. Its English name is derived from two Spanish words, sarza or zarza, meaning ''bramble'' and parilla, meaning ''vine.'' The in |

The herb is said to be helpful in treating many prostate disorders, including prostate enlargement and the discomforts of frequent urination. As an overall tonic for good health, Saw Palmetto is helpful for those who are convalescing or who suffer from wasting diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, and it is an expectorant and an old-time remedy for bronchitis and asthma. Many herbalists consider Saw Palmetto to be an aphrodisiac for both men and women. History: Saw Palmetto is a low-growing palm tree native to the West Indies and the southern Atlantic coast of the United States, and Serenoa repens is the sole species currently classified in this botanical genus, Serenoa, which is named after the nineteenth-century botanist, Serano Watson. It has also been known by a number of synonyms, including Serenoa serrulata, under which name it may still be found in alternative medicine. The plant grows from six to ten feet with a high crown of leaves forming a circular fan-shaped outline, and the berries are used for medicinal purposes. Its flowers are yellowish-white, produced in dense compound panicles, and the fruit is a large reddish-black drupe that is not only an important herbal medicine, but it is also an important food source for wildlife (including butterflies). Its trunk is sprawling, and it grows in clumps or dense thickets in sandy coastal lands or as undergrowth in pinewoods or in hardwood forests above marshlands, especially in the southeastern United States and most commonly along the Atlantic and Gulf coastal plains. Saw Palmetto is extremely slow growing, but long lived, with some plants, especially in Florida, living for over seven hundred years. American Indians used Saw Palmetto fruit for food as a treatment for genitourinary tract disturbances, a remedy for reproductive system problems, a tonic to support the body nutritionally and as a love potion.

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Queen's Delight, Marcory, Pavil, Queen's Root, Yaw Root, Silverleaf, Cockup Hat Stillingia Root is considered an excellent alterative herb that gradually converts an unhealthy condition into a healthy one and is thought to be especially effective for the lymphatic system. It has been used in herbal medicine to rid the body of toxins and cleanse and purify the blood, as well as relieve bronchial complaints. Its astringent qualities have made it useful in alleviating painful hemorrhoids. History: Stillingia Root is a hardy perennial evergreen or deciduous shrub that is native to large portions of the southern United States and also ranges in other warm and tropical parts of the Americas, thriving in pine barrens and other dry, acid, sandy soils in sun or partial shade. The plant bears leathery, three-inch, fine-toothed leaves and yellow-green flowers that may bloom all year in the warmer climates, and the entire plant grows to a height of about four feet. It was once a very popular home medicine with the early settlers in the southern regions of the United States as a laxative, emetic (to induce vomiting), expectorant (encouraging the expulsion of phlegm), blood purifier and a cure for syphilis (which has since been disproven). In fact, in 1828, Dr. T. Y. Symons published his research on the subject, claiming it to be an effective cure for syphilis (toxic mercury had previously been used), and after meeting with the medical community's approval, it was listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia. In the nineteenth century, the Eclectic physicians who attempted to combine what was effective in conventional medical treatments with what was beneficial in herbal medicine, used Stillingia Root to treat cancer and tuberculosis. Herbalists also continued to value Stillingia's properties as a laxative and emetic, and modern herbalists recommend it as a purifier for the blood (in combination with other herbs) and as an effective alterative. The herb was included in the highly controversial Hoxey Formula that was used to heal external cancers, and although there is great resea |

Other common names: Scurvy Grass, Cress, Indian Cress, Brunnendresenkraut, Wasserkresse, Creson de Fontaine, Herbe aux Chantes, Brooklime, Brown Cress, Nasturtium, True Watercress, Cresson Watercress is a rich storehouse of nutrients that has been used as a tonic since ancient times to cleanse the blood and liver of toxins and promote an overall feeling of good health. The herb has been used for a variety of ways that include enhancing stamina, ridding the body of excess fluids, and it is also thought to be a great antioxidant, particularly in cases of malignancies associated with the lungs. History: Watercress is a juicy, vivid green, succulent aquatic plant that is native to Eurasia and was introduced to North America, where is may be found throughout Canada and the United States. This leafy, hardy perennial can also be grown as an annual and is found wild in abundance near springs, in open running watercourses, shallow creeks, ditches, ponds, lakes, brooks and slow-moving rivers - wherever the water is clear and cool and slow-moving through limestone formations. Watercress thrives in shallow (two to six inches), alkaline water in sun or even in pots of rich alluvial soil that stand in dishes of water. Being semi-aquatic, watercress is well-suited to hydroponic cultivation. It has a creeping habit with smooth, fleshy stems that bear roundish, heart-shaped leaflets and small white and green flowers on the extremities. The primary Watercress harvest is between March and October, when the leafy crop grows above the water. The tops of the plants are cut by the handful about six inches below the tips and then gathered into bunches. Under favorable growing conditions, regrowth of the tops allows harvest about a month apart. In the winter, Watercress grows under water. Watercress can be pulled for harvest with the roots intact during this period, thinning the stand in the process. For culinary purposes, the roots are cut off before marketing the bunches, but for medicinal purposes, the roots are also used, because the basal root tissue systems of Watercress have an ability to absorb a greater proporti |
