Other common names: Garden Artichoke, Globe Artichoke The Globe Artichoke is much valued at the table as a nutritious vegetable, but it is also an important aid to digestion and has been used to prevent arteriosclerosis. Artichoke extracts are said to be helpful for kidney, gallbladder and liver insufficiency, postoperative anemia; and in some countries, Artichoke is considered a fine aphrodisiac. History: The Globe Artichoke is a perennial, thistle-like plant that is native to the Mediterranean countries, but appears to have it origins in parts of Asia. It is one of the world's oldest cultivated vegetables, grown by the Greeks and Romans at the height of their power. Globe Artichokes were first cultivated in Naples around the middle of the fifteenth century, and are said to have been introduced to France by Catherine de Medici in the sixteenth century. During the same century, the Dutch introduced Artichokes to England, and the plants were then brought to the United States in the nineteenth century Louisiana by French immigrants and to California by Spanish immigrants. The name appears to have originated with the Aribic words, ardi shauk, meaning ''ground-thorn,'' via an Italian word, articiocco. The Artichoke is now widely cultivated in many places worldwide, but it is not easily grown, since it is exacting in its soil and climatic requirements and thrives in deep, rich, well-drained soil in sun. It requires good soil, regular watering and feeding, plus frost protection in winter. The leaves are cut just before flowering for use fresh or dried in liquid extracts, syrups and capsules. Its tuberous root produces a stem that grows from three to five feet high, and its leaves, flower heads and root are used medicinally. In recent years the globe Artichoke has become important as a medicinal herb, following the discovery of its cynarin content. The Artichoke is highly valued as an epicurean delight: The unopened flower heads are boiled and eaten hot with sauce or melted butter, or cold with vinaigrette; the hearts are marinated, baked or fried. Artichoke leaves contain a wide number of a |

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: Jaundice Berry, Berberidis, Rocky Mountain Grape, Pipperidge (and Pepperidge) Bush, Holy Thorn, Sowberry, Berberry, Wild Oregon Grape Barberry Root has a long history of treating liver dysfunction and promoting bile flow. The herb was almost always used in the past as a remedy for jaundice. Barberry is also considered one of the most effective herbs for fighting bacterial infection and for relieving digestive disorders. History: Barberry is a bushy, highly ornamental shrub that is both evergreen and deciduous and found over the greater part of Europe, North Africa, Asia and North and South America. It is said that insects are exceedingly fond of it; cows, sheep, and goats will eat it; but horses and swine refuse it. Barberry is generally not planted in the United States, and is not popular with farmers, because it is said to contain a destructive wheat-rust fungus that will infect surrounding crops. Its long history goes back to ancient Egypt, where it was used with fennel to prevent plague, and modern Egyptians still employ a juice of the berries to remedy pestilential fevers. Berberis is the Arabic name of the fruit (signifying a shell), and many believe the name is derived from this word, because the leaves are glossy like the inside of a shell. Others claim that it is derived from the Phoenician barbar, meaning ''glossy.'' Italians called the plant Holy Thorn, because it is thought to have formed part of the crown of thorns made for Jesus Christ. Native Americans used the plant to treat the liver and also as a dye for baskets and cloth. The fruits have been included in refreshing jellies and condiments, and the bark, stems and roots have been used as a wool and leather dye. Most of the plant, including the root, is used for medicinal purposes. There are many species of the plant throughout the world with similar properties, and they are used medicinally for a variety of ailments.

Other common names: Garden Beet, Sugar Beet, Spinach Beet, White Beet, Mangel Wurzel, Sea Beet Beet Root is a potent and nutritious source of natural energy and vitality.

And just in case you thought you would have to endure seeing all the food on your plate turn bright magenta when served with Beet Root, you can now take an easy supplement to acquire all its many benefits. History: Beets are technically hardy biennials, but several species are treated as annuals by cultivators. It has large, thick, red-veined leaves and an enlarged, edible root that varies in size, and the plant may grow as high as four feet. The parent of all Beets, the wild Sea Beet, from which the most important varieties have been developed, are believed to have originated on the coastlines of Western Asia, the Mediterranean countries, and throughout Europe and Britain. The leaves were eaten as a vegetable, but the small, unappetizing roots, prior to cultivation techniques, were used primarily for medicinal purposes by ancient Greeks and Romans. It is difficult to date the exact use of the Beet, because, unlike seeds that may be found in archaeological sites, the root and leaves decay over time, but references of 300 B.C., claim that the Greeks cultivated the plant for its medicinal value and for its edible roots. Beet Root was so appreciated by the ancients that it was recorded as an offering on silver to the Greek god, Apollo, in his temple at Delphi, and Aphrodite is said to have eaten Beets to retain her beauty. Beet Root's botanical genus, Beta, is derived the second letter in the Greek alphabet, beta, which the root is said to resemble. The Beet has a deep taproot and grows best in loose, loamy, surface soil that is neutral-to-alkaline. The loose soil allows the plant to produce well-shaped roots. The familiar, rounded variety, which has become popular, wasn't developed until around the sixteenth cent |

History: Blue Flag is a beautiful, hardy perennial with deep green, sword-shaped leaves and large, blue-violet flowers that bloom from May to July on three-foot stalks. This elegant species of iris is a native of North America and may be found in Canada and the United States, growing in marshes, wet meadows and on lake and stream banks, although it is tolerant of an extreme range of conditions and can be drought tolerant.

Other folk uses included remedies for skin diseases, rheumatism and even syphilis. The use of various dried iris roots (called orris) in medicines and unguents was recorded in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. Blue Flag has been used for centuries as a perfume, largely because of its essential oil (twenty-five percent), consisting partly of irone, which produces a violet scent that intensifies as the dried rhizome ages. Blue Flag was one of the most widely used medicinal plants used by Native Americans for many ailments, and the Creeks even grew it near their villages to ensure a convenient supply.

It is also a fine anti-inflammatory that helps to combat gout, rheumatism and arthritis. History: Boldo is an evergreen shrub that grows in the fields of the Andes, and is indigenous to Chile and Peru, where it thrives in well-drained, sandy, acid soil in full sun. It is also native to parts of Morocco and cultivated in Italy, Brazil and North Africa to meet the demands for its medicinal uses in European and North American markets, where it is widely used. In South America, the yellowish-green fruit is eaten, the bark used for tanning, and the wood utilized in charcoal making. The leaves and bark are used in herbal medicine, and when the leaves are crushed, a peculiar, strong and disagreeable odor is emitted. Boldo's medicinal properties were first investigated by a French physician in 1869, although the native South American peoples in Chile and Peru have used the herb for centuries to cure gonorrhea, liver ailments and gallstones. Archaeological evidence in Chile has demonstrated the use of Boldo as a medicine well over ten thousand years ago. Some of the many constituents in Boldo include aromatic, volatile oil, terpenes, terpineol, bitter alkaloid (boldine) and the glucoside (boldin), gum, resin, alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, camphor, coumarin, eugenol, limonene, linalool and the important nutrient, choline. Beneficial Uses: Boldo is widely known as a liver tonic. As a cholagogue, this bitter and aromatic herb stimulates the production and excretion of bile from the gallbladder and treats liver diseases, also easing jaundice, hepatitis, gallstones and chronic hepatic torpor. As a tonic that supports the gastro-intestinal and digestive tracts, Boldo relaxes smooth muscle and stimulates the secretion of gastric juices, helping to promote good digestion and easing dyspepsia, indigestion, stomach spasms, flatulence and other stomach discomforts.

The bark is peeled from the tree, collected and dried in the shade and becomes milder and less emetic for pharmaceutical purposes when aged for three years. Cascara Sagrada bark should always be aged for at least one year to allow certain chemical changes to occur that reduce griping effects. It was used by many tribes of Native Americans for its cathartic properties, and early Spanish priests of Mendocino, California, learned of its use from the locals, calling Cascara ''Sacred Bark,'' and holding it in very high esteem. Cascara eventually became adopted by the medical profession, and it was first commercially marketed by a pharmaceutical company in 1877 (Parke-Davis) and became officially listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia in 1890. It is interesting to note that no synthetic substance can equal the mild and speedy action of the ''holy bark,'' and these trees were almost endangered, when, early in the twentieth century, many of them were destroyed. Some of the constituents included in Cascara Sagrada include aloe-emodin, beta-carotene, glycosides, malic acid, calcium, iron, linoleic acid, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, silicon, zinc, B-vitamins and vitamin C. Beneficial Uses: Cascara is a mild but extremely effective colon cleanser and laxative that acts principally on the large intestine. T he bark is rich in hor |

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.'' Celery was introduced t |

Chicory Root 4:1 Powder 1/4 lb bottle: HE

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: Coffee Weed, Succory, Blue Dandelion, Garden Endive, Wild Succory, Hendibeh, Blue Sailors If you thought Chicory was only a rich, caffeine-free coffee substitute, think again! The herb's diuretic and laxative properties have been used for thousands of years as a purifying tonic for the blood, liver and kidneys, and it will also help to counteract stomach acid after eating too much rich food. Recent studies show promise for Chicory Root in the area of good heart health by fighting fat and cholesterol in the blood and controlling rapid heartbeat. History: Chicory is a rather scruffy-looking, weedy perennial that is native to Europe, and it was imported to the United States during the eighteenth century by early colonists. It is so plentiful that it is almost believed to be indigenous to North America, where it grows cultivated and wild and may be found in fields, pastures, marginal areas and even invades lawns and gardens. The leaves at the plant's base are large and hairy, somewhat resembling those of a dandelion, giving Chicory one of its common names, Blue Dandelion. It has been suggested that another of its common names, Succory, is of Latin derivation, from succurrere, meaning ''to run under'' because of the depth to which the root penetrates. From the base, many two- to three-foot, stick-like stems arise, producing widely spaced foliage and milky sap; and bright, almost iridescent, blue flowers bloom on the stems, as if stapled to the wrong plant. Chicory will grow in almost any soil but prefers rich, well-drained, neutral-to-alkaline soil in sun. The rootstock is light yellow outside and white inside and also contains a bitter, milky juice, and the entire plant has been used in herbal medicine (primarily as a cleansing and toning herb) for thousands of years. The ancient Romans used Chicory as a blood purifier and also as a food, and it has remained an important crop throughout continental Europe to this day. The sixteenth century herbalist, Parkinson, described Chicory as a ''fine, cleansing, jovial plant,'' and French herbalist, Maurice Mességué, maintains that |
