Other common names: Cumino, Cumino Aigro, Comino, Jeera, Jiraka, Comino Romano Cumin is an aromatic, stimulating, bitter and warming herb that has been used to support the digestive system and help to relieve dyspeptic headaches, nausea, colic and flatulence. It is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine in India to relieve indigestion and to improve liver function. Pungent and spicy Cumin is an essential ingredient in curries and is also thought to be a stimulant to the sexual organs. Moreover, there is much new research into Cumin's possible use as an antioxidant. History: Cumin is a small, herbaceous plant, indigenous to Upper Egypt, but from early times it was cultivated in Arabia, India, China and the Mediterranean region. The plant produces a slender, branched stem that grows to about a foot in height. The deep green leaves are divided into long, narrow, threadlike segments (somewhat like fennel, but smaller) and bear small rose or white flowers, blooming in June and July, which are followed by fruit, or, actually, seeds that are used in herbal medicine. The tender, fragrant annual thrives in light, well-drained soil in a sheltered, sunny site; and the seeds, which resemble caraway seeds, although bristly, may not ripen in colder climates. The use of Cumin as a spice and herbal medicine has a long history. Seeds, excavated at the Syrian site, Tel ed-Der, have been dated to the second millennium B. C., and Cumin seeds were found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. They were also mentioned in The Bible (both Old and New Testaments) and in the herbal/medicinal references of Hippocrates, Pliny and Dioscorides. It was a very popular spice in Europe, particularly in ancient Rome and Greece (where it was placed on dining table in its own container (much as pepper is frequently kept today); and by the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, it was much in use as a pungent culinary spice in England. However, it eventually went out of vogue in Europe (except in Spain), having been replaced by the similar, but more mild and agreeable (to European tastes), caraway seed. Today, however, that warming pungency is apprecia |

Other common names: African Ginger, Jamaica Ginger, Black Ginger, Chiang If you have ever reached for a glass of Ginger ale for an upset stomach, you are on the right track! Ginger is an ancient remedy for upset stomach, indigestion, motion sickness and cramps, and that's just the beginning. This wonderful food additive can also help reduce fevers, relieve pain, reduce inflammation and help remove toxins from the body. On the news front, important new research from the University of Michigan has indicated that Ginger has caused ovarian cancer cell death in laboratory tests. History: Ginger is an exotic, perennial plant with highly aromatic flowers that grows to a height of three feet. It originated in tropical Asia, where its tuberous rootstock was not only used as a spice for culinary purposes, but has also continued to play an important role in Asian medicine for 2,500 years. The Chinese considered it a ''warming'' herb and used it extensively to warm the stomach, ward off colds, dispel chills and treat digestive problems, and Chinese ships even carried Ginger on voyages to prevent seasickness. In ancient Greece and Egypt, Ginger was used as a confection, and the Romans considered it a taxable commodity by A.D. 200. The Persians were said to use Ginger as a remedy for arthritis. The origin of Ginger's name may be derived from two sources: The Greek word for Ginger is zingiberis, and some say it is derived from Zanzibar, from whence it was imported to Europe in the fifteenth century. It is believed that gingerbread was sent as a gift to Russia to celebrate the birth of Peter the Great and was also a favorite in the court of Elizabeth I of England. Ginger had spread to Spain, where it was cultivated, and later, Spanish conquistadors brought it to the New World, where it has thrived as a major commercial crop in Jamaica. Ginger is now cultivated in tropical areas of the world, including Africa, Asia, Australia and the West Indies. Under cultivation, Ginger seldom blossoms, and the fruit is rarely seen. In Ayurvedic medicine, it is called ''the universal medicine,'' and in both Ayurvedic a |

Other common names: Caffea, Caffe, Java, Coffee Bean Green Coffee Bean delivers all the wonderful things that you suspected when you drank that cup of coffee! For that extra boost in energy, that sharper edge, that clearer mind, Green Coffee Bean is the herbal supplement for you. It is also thought to ease migraine headaches and boost headache medication efficacy. Green Coffee Bean is a powerful cardiac and respiratory stimulant that increases heartbeat and blood flow and acts as a bronchodilator to improve breathing. New research shows promising benefits in the area of diabetes, high blood pressure control and antioxidant activity. History: More than a thousand years ago, nomadic mountain warriors of the Galla tribe in Ethiopia mixed deep red berries with animal fat as a food that provided them with strength, endurance and an ''extra something'' that helped them endure long battles. That ''something'' turned out to be the caffeine in the Green Coffee Bean. There are about twenty-five species cultivated throughout the world, and different types of Coffee are preferred in different countries. For example, Coffea arabica (which is preferred in the Americas) is produced mostly in South and Central America, and Coffea canefora [robusta] is grown mainly in African countries, while Caffea liberica is grown (and preferred) in Malaysia and Guyana. Growing in the wild, a Coffee plant may reach thirty feet in height, but under cultivation the heights vary from only about six to fifteen feet, which makes flowering and harvesting easier - and more economical. Coffee is the second most valuable commodity in international trade, ranking second only to petroleum in terms of dollars traded, and it is the world's most popular beverage. The leaves of the plant are generally dark green and ovate in shape, and the plant bears clusters of white, jasmine-scented flowers, which develop into red, cherry-like berries. This ''fruit'' is coated with a thin film (epicarp or esocarpo) containing a sugary mucilaginous flesh (mesocarp) enclosing seeds in the form of two coupled beans. After peeling off a parchment |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Gurmar, Gudmar, Merasingi, Periploca of the Woods, Ram's Horn, Small Indian Ipecacuana, Mardashingi, Gurbarbooti The Hindu name for Gymnema is Gurmar, and it means ''Sugar Destroyer.'' That tells you almost all you'll need to know about this herb. For two thousand years it has been used to reduce excessively high blood sugar levels, apparently by boosting the amount of insulin available to process sugar. It also is thought to exhibit serum cholesterol lowering activity, and renewed interest in its research may prove Gymnema to be one of the most important supports for diabetes. History: Gymnema is a tenacious, climbing vine that is native to the monsoon forests of central and southern mainland India, where it grows wild and is also under cultivation as a medicinal crop in fairly large areas of the country. Gymnema is a multi-branched, woody climber, bearing dense, ovate, elliptical leaves and yellow flowers that bloom in April and May. For two thousand years, Gymnema has been used in Ayurvedic medicine of India to treat Type-2, adult-onset diabetes; and Indian traditional practitioners also used it to remedy liver disease, stomach problems and water retention. Interest in the herb for diabetes management waned during the period of the British Raj, when the government officially patronized Western medical treatments, and especially with the advent of insulin. The hypoglycemic (blood sugar lowering) action of Gymnema was first documented in the late 1920s, when substances called gymnemic acids in the leaves were believed to increase the flow of insulin from cells in the pancreas or by the action of regenerating those cells. It is not entirely clear how the plant works in this regard, but because it has shown positive results in clinical trials, renewed interest in Gymnema may prove it to be a vitally important botanical support for controlling blood sugar. The plant is used in herbal medicines as a bitter, acrid, cooling tonic.

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.

Don't forget to take Parsley for a healthy dose of vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Its rich chlorophyll content makes it a wonderful breath freshener. 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 Devil's favor |

Other common names: Chinese Foxglove, Shen di huang, Yellow Earth, Ti Huang Chiu Long used in China to heal many ailments and even as a tonic to prolong life, Rehmannia Root is becoming popular in the West as a blood refresher. It is often recommended to regulate deficient blood patterns, such as anemia, irregular menses, uterine and postpartum bleeding, pallor and light-headedness. Healthy blood is a good start for a better body. History: Rehmannia Root is a native of China and is one of the first species of the genus to be introduced and cultivated in the West. It thrives in light, moist, well-drained, neutral-to-acid, sandy soil in full sun, and when cultivated, the thick, reddish-yellow roots are lifted in autumn or early winter for use in herbal medicine. Rehmannia Root is one of the most popular tonic herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), where it has been used for thousands of years. Listed as one of the fifty most important Chinese herbs, it was first mentioned in Chinese medical literature during the Han Dynasty (206 B.C.- A.D.23). The fresh or dried roots have been used in China for centuries to treat a long list of ailments and was even used as a tonic to counter the effects of ageing! Some of the constituents included in Rehmannia Root are beta-sitosterol, calcium, copper, glucose, glucosamine, histidine, mannitol, zinc, amino acids and vitamins A, B, C and D. Beneficial Uses: Rehmannia Root is considered a tonic for the blood and enhances circulation throughout the body, especially to the brain. As a blood energizer, the herb has been used to treat blood-related deficiencies, including anemia, dizziness, pallid face and light-headedness. It is also said to control hemorrhage of all kinds, including excessive menstruation, and women find the herb helpful when used to regulate flow and strengthen the body after the weakening effects of childbirth. The glycoside content in Rehmannia Root helps to manufacture certain hormones that are believed to ease many unpleasant symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes, restlessness, insomnia and loss of bone strength.

Other common names: Red-Root Sage, Chinese Salvia, Chinese Sage, Danshen, Dan Shen, Red Rooted Sage, Red Rooted Salvia, Red Sage, Bunge, Radix Salvia Salvia Root is a traditional Chinese herb that has become important in the West for supporting cardiovascular health and improving liver function. It helps to vitalize and detoxify the blood and is one of the most highly regarded circulatory tonics. Salvia Root has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth, reduce fever, diminish inflammation, ease skin problems and aid urinary excretion of toxins. History: Salvia Root is a member of the multi-species Salvia genus, and despite the fact that any herb of this genus may be called sage, there are significant differences in medicinal components in the tops and roots that influence their uses. In an 1833 publication, Russian botanist, Alexander von Bunge (1803-1890), gave the plant its botanical genus, Salvia, which is translated from the Latin word, salvere, meaning ''to be saved'' or ''to cure,'' as sage enjoyed the reputation of being able to cure a multitude of ills. Salvia Root is part of a small plant that grows abundantly in Asia, and because of its importance in herbal medicine, it has been cultivated as a crop on farms in China, Japan and Korea. It is a wild perennial that grows mostly in sunny areas, and can survive in poor soils. It produces small, fuzzy, grayish leaves in the spring; blue, red or purple flowers in summer; and brownish, nut-like fruits in the fall. As a member of the sages in the mint family of plants, its aromatic leaves are often dried and used to season meats and stuffing, but it is in its distinctive, sundried, bright red roots that considerable medicinal benefits are stored. Although other species of sage were mentioned in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as early as 206 B.C., Salvia Root first appeared in the Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing in the first century A.D., and it held a very high position for treating the heart, abdomen, gurgling in the intestines, breaking and eliminating stone and relieving fullness.

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. Is it a vegetable or is it a fruit? Whatever it is, we do know that Tomato is a great gift to good health. It is loaded with nutrients - rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene and lycopene (a powerful antioxidant that protects against free radical damage to cells) - low in sodium and calories - and high in citric acid and potassium. This nutritious supplement is just too good to pass up. You already know how invaluable it is in the kitchen; now you know the rest of the story! History: Tomato is an annual plant that is native to the Andean region of South America, and it grows with erect, hairy stems that become decumbent and woody, bearing pinnate leaves. The Tomato plant thrives in sandy, acidic, well-drained soil and does not tolerate waterlogged soil or frost, and it loves sun and warm weather (the more sun, the more lycopene the fruit produces). Its origins are ambiguous, as some say the earliest tomatoes were first harvested by the Incas of the Andes, and others claim it was the Aztecs who first cultivated them around 700 A.D. Apparently, they were later carried to Europe by the Spanish conquistadors, and at the time, they were small, yellow fruits (about the size of today's cherry Tomatoes), but they were not very popular. They were suspected to be poisonous like other members of the nightshade family, but some of the problem may be traced to the fact that wealthy people ate from plates made of pewter, which contains lead, and foods with a high acid content (like Tomatoes) would cause the lead to leech out into the food, resulting in lead poisoning and death. In contrast, poor people, who ate from wooden plates, did not have the problem nor the aversion to Tomatoes. This is essentially the reason why Tomatoes were eaten only by poorer populations until the 1800s (most notably Italians). Tomatoes were later reintroduced to America, where they were still regarded as suspicious, until the Creoles of New Orleans finally brought them into the kitchen in 1812. However, it was another fifty years, when there was a greater influx of foreign cultures into the United States, before it became widely us |

Other common names: Mojave Yucca, Spanish Dagger, Soapweed, Spanish Bayonet, Needle Palm, Our Lord's Candle An important food source for many early Native Americans, many tribes also relied on Yucca to cleanse and detoxify the body (inside and out!). Today, we still regard Yucca as a wonderful blood-cleansing tonic that helps to rid the kidney and liver of toxins. It is also a remarkable source of healthful nutrients and may even help to relieve arthritis. History: The Yucca belongs to a genus of stiff-leaved evergreen plants, trees and shrubs, and there are about fifty species native to North America, most of them native to the southwestern United States, Mexico and Central America. Some, however, are found in arid areas of southern Alberta. The coarse desert succulent has long, spike-like leaves that resemble a dagger, giving the plant several of its common names, i.e., ''Spanish Bayonet'' and ''Spanish Dagger,'' and many are cultivated for their striking appearance as ornamentals. The various plants may grow anywhere from four to twenty-five feet in height and reproduce only by pollination of the Yucca moth, a perfect symbiotic relationship. Yucca typically grows on rocky desert slopes and thrives in full sun and well-drained soil; it also needs no summer water. The bark of Yucca is gray-brown, and the plant bears white, bell-shaped flowers, sometimes having a purple tinge, produced in a compact, bulbous cluster. Yucca occupied a very important place in the history of the American Southwest as both a food source and medicine, and it also served many other purposes. Navajo warriors carried the dried fruits with them during long journeys as a nutritious food (and soap), and the Hopis especially understood its natural cleansing properties. Several of the southern tribes used Yucca to induce vomiting. The plant was used to cure baldness and treat dandruff, and the fibers in Yucca were utilized in cloth-making, cordage and baskets. In modern medicine, some very early laboratory tests have shown some anti-cancer properties against melanoma in animals and possible anti-malignant growth a |
