Momordica Fruit 1% Esgoside Powdered Extract (Momordica grosvenori; Luo Han Guo) 25 kg (55 lbs): Q
Immune Boost Antioxidant Enhances Circulation and Memory Promotes Respiratory Health*. Luo Han Guo grew wild throughout the mountainous terrain of Southwest China. Historic Chinese writings reference Song Dynasty monks brewing LHG for medicinal beverages over 800 years ago. By 1800, Luo Han Guo was a broadly cultivated crop in the region. Knowledgeable consumers in Southern China and parts of East Asia have used this remarkable natural remedy for hundreds of years, to promote respiratory health and to provide relief from respiratory ailments.* During its hundreds of years of continuous use, Luo Han Guo's healthy benefits have largely been defined by the reputation it developed with the people who used it. It has been well recognized as a remedy for any and all respiratory ailments. To this day, grandmothers in the region will make long-boil soup with Luo Han Guo at the first sign of cough, congestion or sore throat in the family*. LHG moisturizes and nourishes the respiratory system to help maintain healthy function. It is a natural expectorant and helps clear the lungs of airborne pollutants. It is also a natural antitussive.* Over many generations, LHG earned a reputation as a "purifying agent." It was thought that it had a positive influence in purifying the blood and reducing the effects of chronic conditions. We now know through research that LHG contains antioxidants which benefit immune function and the body's ability to maintain healthy balance.* Luo Han Guo contains mogrosides which are some 200 times sweeter than sugar. Despite this concentrated sweetness, LHG is low glycemic and can be safely used by diabetics.* http://www.itmonline.org/arts/luohanguo.htm: Luo Han Guo (luohanguo) refers to the fruit of Siraitia grosvenori, formerly called Momordica grosvenori, a member of the Curcubitaceae (1). The fruit is well-known for its sweet taste; this plant family (Gourd family) has other members that contain remarkable sweet components, including additional species of the genus Siraitia. Applications: 1. Heat stroke with thirst: Take one fruit, break it open and stir into boiled water. Drink the liquid in place of tea. 2. Acute or chronic throat inflammation; aphonia. Take half a fruit and 3-5 seeds of sterculia. Cover with water and simmer, then swallow very slowly. 3. Chronic cough. Take 1 piece of fruit, cover with water, simmer, and drink the liquid. Do this twice each day. 4. Constipation in the aged. Take 2 pieces of fruit, obtain the juicy part and the seed (put the shell aside for other uses), break apart, cover with water, and simmer. Drink before going to bed. 5. Diabetes. Take an appropriate measure of the fruit and crush it or simmer it into a thick juice and add to food being prepared, using it as a substitute for sugar. Recent work on luohanguo includes investigation of the antioxidant activity of the mogrosides (13) and their potential use as cancer prevention compounds (14). T |

Bugleweed Herb 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. Bugleweed - 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: Water Bugle, Gypsy Weed, Sweet Bugle, Virginia Water Horehound, Water Horehound, Gypsywort, Virginia Bugleweed Modern herbalists use Bugleweed to treat hyperthyroidism and to regulate an overactive thyroid gland. It is also used to tone the heart and stabilize rapid or irregular heartbeat, relieving nervous palpitations and strengthening the heartbeat. History: Bugleweed is a very common weed that is native to North America and is also found in Europe. From its perennial, creeping root, a smooth stem with lance-shaped leaves on short stalks rises to a height of two feet and bears clustered purple flowers. Both American Bugleweed (Lycopus virginicus/Lycopus americanus) and its European cousin (Lycopus europaeus) grow in very wet areas and are used interchangeably. The plant thrives in low, damp ground in moist-to-wet soil in sun or partial shade and flowers from July to September. Oddly, the herb's historical medicinal applications do not match its current use in today's herbal medicine. Bugleweed was officially listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia in the late nineteenth century as an effective anti-hemorrhagic and sedative, but modern herbalists regard it as a specific for an over-active thyroid gland and nervous heart palpitations. It is considered a bitter, faintly aromatic herb, and its aerial parts (above ground) are used in herbal medicine. Some of the constituents in Bugleweed include a bitter principle, lycopine, tannins, resin, essential oil, as well as caffeic-, chlorogenic-, ellagic-, rosmarinic-, lithospermic- and other acids. Beneficial Uses: Bugleweed is mainly used today to treat hyperthyroidism. The lithospermic and other organic acids are believed to be responsible for the herb's ability to decrease levels of several thyroid-stimulating hormones, notably thyroxine, that act to inhibit the binding of antibodies to the thyroid gland - the antibodies that are said to cause Graves' disease. It is thought to be particularly helpful in treating Graves' disease when there is cardiac involvement, especially where there are symptoms of a racing heart, shaking |

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: Helonias Root, Starwort, Devil's Bit, Devil's Bite, Blazing Star Root, Fairy Wand False Unicorn Root is an early American tonic that was used by Native Americans and settlers alike for virtually all complaints, including liver and kidney ailments, worms, fevers and indigestion, but perhaps its greatest value came in relieving female disorders of the reproductive organs, including menstrual and menopausal symptoms. It is also thought to help genitourinary complaints and infertility (in both men and women!). History: False Unicorn Root is an herbaceous, tuberous, summer-flowering plant that is native to the eastern United States, where it is found in low, moist ground. The hardy perennial grows to a height of three feet and a width of fifteen inches with a basal rosette of smooth, spoon-shaped leaves, an erect stem of eight-inch, lance-shaped leaves and topped by a dense raceme of tiny, greenish-white, star-shaped flowers. The plant thrives in damp woods and bogs in rich, moist, well-drained humus soil in partial shade, and the roots are harvested from the wild in autumn, dried, and used in herbal medicine. Its botanical name, Chamaelirium, is derived from two Greek words, chamai, meaning ''slow growing,'' and leirion, meaning ''lily,'' and the plant's botanical specific, luteum, means ''yellow,'' referring to the fact that the flowers yellow with age. There is only one species in this genus, and it is closely related to Helonias, giving the herb one of its common names (Helonias Root). Another common name, Devil's Bit, refers to the herb's early Native American use as a ''cure-all'' that angered a bad spirit, who bit off a piece of the root to prevent its use. False Unicorn Root is so-called to distinguish it from true Unicorn Root (Aletris farinosa), a plant with different medicinal applications. False Unicorn Root was first used by Native North Americans to prevent miscarriage, expel worms and to treat liver and kidney ailments, and it soon found favor with the settlers, who used it in a like manner. By the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the herb had become |

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. Red 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: Jersey Tea, New Jersey Tea, Wild Snowball, Mountain Sweet Red Root stimulates fluid drainage from congested areas and has a profound effect on the lymph system, (draining wastes); the liver (decreasing the harmful effects of fats); the spleen (reducing chronic enlargement); and the respiratory system (relieving asthma, bronchitis, whooping cough, colds, tonsillitis and sinusitis). History: Red Root is a half-hardy shrub that is native to North America. The Ceanothus genus encompasses over fifty species of small trees or shrubs that are distributed throughout North America and as far south as Guatemala. The majority of the species are evergreen, but the eastern species have adapted to cold winters and are deciduous. The shrubby tree has a smooth bark that produces erect branches, bearing alternate, downy leaves and numerous small, ornamental white flowers that bloom in summertime. The flowers are followed by fruits (seed vessels), and the entire plant generally reaches a height of five feet. It can be found in dry woodlands, barrens, open plains or sandy, rocky clearings or hillsides and thrives in well-drained soil in sun. It dislikes alkaline conditions but will tolerate poor, dry soils. The name, Red Root, is derived from the plant's large, red root, which is the medicinal part, and it is dug and partially harvested in late autumn or early spring, when the red color is deepest, and then dried for use in herbal medicines. Red Root is a long, cylindrical, thick, irregularly contorted and branching root, with either a simple or branched head and knotty tubercles. To the taste, Red Root is astringent and bitter, but has no odor (although some claim it is peach-like). In Canada, the root has been occasionally used to dye wool a cinnamon color. The leaves are also astringent and slightly bitter and have been used as a substitute for tea, to which they have a strong resemblance when dried, both in taste and fragrance. Red Root's common name, Jersey Tea, evolved, because the leaves were used as a tea substitute during the American War of Independence. The plant also has a long his |
