Avena Sativa is a good restorative nerve tonic, ideal for depression and energy deficiency. The oat bran in Avena has been shown lately to help reduce abnormally high blood cholesterol levels, and its high fiber content is a great help in maintaining daily ''regularity.'' Avena Sativa also supplies the body with silicon, the substance needed to build healthy skin, fingernails and healthy, lustrous hair. History: Although of uncertain origin, Avena (or the Oat) is thought to have come from Eastern Europe or Western Asia, and the crop is now cultivated in temperate regions throughout the old and new world. The common Oat is a fibrous annual with a smooth stem that grows to a height of four feet and bears lance-shaped, rough leaves, loose sheaves and spikelets. Both Avena Sativa and Avena Fatua have been known for their medicinal and almost legendary nutritional qualities since prehistoric times, and Avena's remedial uses were finally recorded in folk medicine in England by the thirteenth century. Avena (or Oat Straw) is still considered an important, traditional staple of food in Northern Europe. Avena is a hardy grain that can grow almost up to the arctic region and has even been planted to prevent soil erosion, but, of course, it is mainly used as an important cereal crop. July and August are considered optimal harvest time, and ripeness is judged by the yellow color of the straw. The stalks are then cut and bound together and left upright to dry before use. The entire plant is used for medicinal remedies, and some of its main constituents include saponins, flavonoids, gluten, albumen, silicon, starch, protein compounds, gum, calcium, folate, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, zinc, alkaloids (trigonelline, avenine), glycosides, lysine, methionine, steroids, fiber and vitamins B-1, B-2, B-3, B-5, B-6, D and E. The seeds contain alkaloids, such as gramine, as well as saponins, such as avenacosides A an |

Try Birch Bark to reduce fever, banish headache, eliminate excess water, thin the blood and combat urinary tract infections. It is also said to be wonderful for alleviating the pains of rheumatism, arthritis and gout. History: The Birch is a slender, deciduous tree with a beautiful and distinctive bark that may reach a height of one hundred feet. Its leaves are dark green on the upper side and pale green underneath, and this hardy ornamental will grow in well-drained soil in sun or shade. Birch Trees are highly regarded as medicinal plants in Russia and Siberia, especially for treating arthritis, and there are a number of different varieties of Birch that are used for the same medicinal applications, many for pain, wounds, and skin complaints. They are also of great commercial value in the perfume industry, dental products, paper making, cotton reels, toys, broom making and fish smoking. The bark is used in the tanning industry, imparting a delicate fragrance to leather. An old use for the Birch was as a rod or ''switch'' that was used to flog offenders. Of great value is a glycoside in Birch that decomposes to produce methyl salicylate - a very effective pain reliever. Its history of pain relief goes back for centuries, as American Indians used Birch Bark to relieve headaches and the pain of rheumatism; and poultices of Birch Bark were used to heal burns, wounds, and bruises. Birch Bark was also vital in the making of Native American canoes. Birch Bark produces Birch oil, which is an effective remedy for certain skin conditions. Birch also occupies an important culinary place and has been included in salads, condiments and the ever-popular Birch Beer. Some constituents in Birch Bark include saponins, tannin, betulin, betulinic acid, flavonoids (hyperoside, luteolin and quercetin) and glycosides (methyl salicylate).

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: English Walnut, Greek Nut, Carya, Jupiter's Nut Rich in vitamin C and other important nutrients, Black Walnut Leaf is a fine astringent that helps to remedy diarrhea and excessive menstrual bleeding. It is also said to relieve eczema, psoriasis and many other skin ailments. Moreover, it is an antiseptic and antibacterial that combats infection and has been used in Germany for decades to clear sinus infection and runny nose. History: The Walnut tree is a large, handsome, deciduous hardwood with a rough bark, and it sometimes exceeds one hundred feet in height. There are fifteen species of Walnut growing worldwide in the dry, temperate zones of Asia, Europe and North and South America. Six species are native to the United States, and the Black Walnut is among them, growing in the eastern states and up through Canada. Black Walnut is one of the best-known, largest and most valuable native hardwoods, but it is not plentiful. It does, however, grow rapidly in mixed forests and rich, moist, well-drained soil, such as found in valleys. Certain plants are sensitive to the roots and leaves of Black Walnuts, which exude a distinctive odor when bruised, and will not grow under or near them. Walnut is a highly ornamental tree and is often planted for roadside shade and shelterbelts. It is cultivated for commercial walnut production in Europe and the United States, where it is used for culinary and medicinal purposes, and its beautiful, figured wood is made into fine paneling, salad bowls and in cabinet making. Walnut has been used in herbal medicine for thousands of years, with the Roman naturalist, Pliny, mentioning it as far back as the first century A.D. Its botanical name, Juglans, is derived from the Latin reference to the god, Jupiter, and glans, meaning ''nut'' or ''walnut.'' In the Golden Age, when men lived on acorns, the gods dined on walnuts, thus providing us with another common name, Jupiter's Nut. The English name is partly Teutonic in origin, with the Germans calling it wallnuss. The esteemed seventeenth-century herbalist, Nicholas Culpeper, prescribed Walnut |

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: Seaweed, Black Tang, Seawrack, Sea Oak, Rockwrack, Wrack, Rockweed, Bladder Fucus, Kelp Bladderwrack and other seaweeds are a great gift from the sea. This remarkable source of iodine has been used extensively in the treatment of thyroid gland disorders, including goiter and low-metabolism-related obesity. It is used in spa treatments for softening the skin, improving circulation, and promoting a healthy glow. Bladderwrack may also be helpful for good digestion. History: Bladderwrack is a variety of brownish seaweed found along both coasts of North America and the Atlantic shores of Europe. It is an alga, and algae were all formerly described by the name of fucus, but now it is applied to one genus of fucaceae, and most of this species is found only in the northern seas, exposed at low water. Fucus vesiculosis is found on submerged rocks on the coasts of North America and Europe, north of the Mediterranean, where it drifts in from time to time through the Strait of Gibralter. The name, Bladderwrack, refers to the bladder-like air pods (vesicles) that keep the plant afloat on the ocean. It is a mucilaginous, salty, tonic herb, and several varieties of this seaweed have been used therapeutically; the brown alga known as Bladderwrack is also a common source of kelp. Bladderwrack is particularly rich in iodine and was the original source of the element, having been discovered by Courtois in 1812. It remained this element's main source for over fifty years thereafter. Iodine was isolated and extracted by distilling the plant's long ribbons (or thalli). Perhaps Bladderwrack's most remarkable application occurred in the eighteenth century, when a British physician prescribed it as treatment for goiter and enlargement of the thyroid gland. No one knows whether the doctor had scientific knowledge of the plant's action or was simply lucky, but there is a pharmacological basis for his prescription. Bladderwrack was most valuable as a fertilizer, high in potash, especially for potatoes, and gathered for that purpose along the British coast and Channel Islands. In Ireland, i |

Other common names: Blue Iris, Liver Lily, Iris, Wild Iris, Flag, Lily, Poison Flag, Snake Lily, Water Flag, Dragon Flower, Dagger Flower, Fleur-de-Lis Blue Flag stimulates intestinal, liver and gallbladder function and works to correct the many problems associated with a congested liver and intestines, including jaundice, hepatitis, gastric distress, headaches, toxins, skin problems, constipation and undigested fats. 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. It is an ornamental that prefers rich, heavy, moist-to-wet, acid soil in sun. Blue Flag's botanical genus, Iris, refers to the Greek winged goddess of the rainbow, in honor of the beauty and variety of the many hued irises in the genus that grace perennial gardens. It was called Iris by early American settlers because of its close resemblance to a common European species, the yellow flag, which was the model for the fleur-de-lis, the emblem of French royalty. One of Blue Flag's common names, Liver Lily, refers to its use in early herbal medicine as a remedy for diseases of the liver and blood impurities. 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.

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Bee Bread, Burrage, Common Bugloss, Starflower, Bee Plant ''I, Borage, always bring gladness.'' - ancient Latin proverb Spirits need a lift? Borage has a reputation for easing depression and melancholy. It is also believed to soothe the body's mucous membranes, suppress inflammation and help ease arthritis and rheumatism. The herb is known to be rich in gamma linolenic acid, the Omega-6 Fatty Acid that is as essential for overall health as vitamins. History: Borage is a handsome annual of the borage family and native to Mediterranean countries. The plant grows to a height of about two feet and has a long history of cultivation as an ornamental in gardens and apiaries for its spray of brilliant blue and purplish flowers, which are most attractive to bees. Hence, we have two of the herb's common names, Bee Plant and Bee Bread. The plant grows in moist, well-drained soil in full sun but will tolerate poor, dry soil, and the thick taproot does not transplant well. Dioscorides wrote of Borage's soothing and calming qualities, and the Roman naturalist, Pliny, praised Borage for its power to make men joyful. The herb's name may be derived from the Gaelic borrach, meaning courage, and in The Herball, or Generall Historie of Plantes (1597), Gerard extolled its virtues that included the lifting of spirits and driving away sadness, quieting ''lunaticke'' behavior, and also maintained that the herb's use brought on courage. The leaves and flowers are used for many culinary purposes: Leaves give a cucumber flavor to drinks and are added whole to wine-based drinks; they are also chopped in salads and cream cheese, and in parts of Italy, they are cooked as a vegetable. The flowers are edible and often added to salads or used as a garnish (but turn pink upon contact with acids such as lemon juice or vinegar), and they are also made into syrups or candied as cake decorations. The leaves, flowers and oil from the seeds are used in herbal medicine.

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) |

A gift from the Amazon rainforest, Camu Camu provides more vitamin C than any known botanical on earth! Its ascorbic acid helps to support the brain and nervous system, improve skin, enhance blood circulation, decrease cholesterol levels, help lower the incidence of blood clots in veins and fortify blood vessel walls. History: Camu Camu is a shrub (or bushy riverside tree) that is native to the Amazon rainforest, and its current range comprises Amazon lowland regions of Venezuela, Peru and Brazil (most notably), as well as Colombia, Ecuador and Bolivia. Camu Camu fruit has only recently come into large-scale cultivation and sale to the world market with Japan as the major buyer, where it is very highly regarded for its vitamin C content. It is also frozen or bottled as a health juice. Camu Camu is exported from Peru to the United States for the production of ''vitamin C'' tablets for the ''health food'' market. It is the extraordinarily rich supply of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in Camu Camu that is considered the most important factor in its positioning on international markets. Closely related to the Rumberry-Guavaberry (Myrciaria floribunda), the plant produces young branchlets with prickly hairs and narrow, opposite-growing, lanceolate-to-elliptical-shaped, feathery leaves. The smallish tree, which may reach a height of fifteen feet, bears sweetly-fragrant flowers with tiny, white, waxy petals and a round, cherry-like fruit that is yellow at first, becoming maroon to purple-black. The fruit, with its yellow pulp, is soft and juicy when ripe and is of acid/sweet flavor. Each fruit contains three seeds. The bushy shrub grows in hot, damp tropics, and it fruits during the rainy season. As a matter of fact, it thrives in lakes, swamps and on riversides, frequently |

Other common names: Cacari, Camocamo, Bayberry Fruit, Mirto, Murta, Guayabillo, Coco-Carette, Merisier-Cerise, Escobillo, Bois de Basse Batard, Cabo de Chivo, Mije, Mije Colorado, Mijo, Shahuinto If you think vitamin C is helpful for building the immune system, warding off infections, colds and flu, then Camu Camu is the herb for you. A gift from the Amazon rainforest, Camu Camu provides more vitamin C than any known botanical on earth! Its ascorbic acid helps to support the brain and nervous system, improve skin, enhance blood circulation, decrease cholesterol levels, help lower the incidence of blood clots in veins and fortify blood vessel walls. History: Camu Camu is a shrub (or bushy riverside tree) that is native to the Amazon rainforest, and its current range comprises Amazon lowland regions of Venezuela, Peru and Brazil (most notably), as well as Colombia, Ecuador and Bolivia. Camu Camu fruit has only recently come into large-scale cultivation and sale to the world market with Japan as the major buyer, where it is very highly regarded for its vitamin C content. It is also frozen or bottled as a health juice. Camu Camu is exported from Peru to the United States for the production of ''vitamin C'' tablets for the ''health food'' market. It is the extraordinarily rich supply of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in Camu Camu that is considered the most important factor in its positioning on international markets. Closely related to the Rumberry-Guavaberry (Myrciaria floribunda), the plant produces young branchlets with prickly hairs and narrow, opposite-growing, lanceolate-to-elliptical-shaped, feathery leaves. The smallish tree, which may reach a height of fifteen feet, bears sweetly-fragrant flowers with tiny, white, waxy petals and a round, cherry-like fruit that is yellow at first, becoming maroon to purple-black. The fruit, with its yellow pulp, is soft and juicy when ripe and is of acid/sweet flavor. Each fruit contains three seeds. The bushy shrub grows in hot, damp tropics, and it fruits during the rainy season. As a matter of fact, it thrives in lakes, swamps and on riversides, frequently |

But it is also thought to relieve urinary tract infection, excessive menstrual flow, diarrhea, hemorrhoids and varicose veins ...and, it is edible and nutritious. History: Capsella is a hardy, self-pollinating annual, native to the Old World, and now grows profusely (sometimes regarded as a weed) in the fields, waste places and along roadsides of temperate areas throughout the world. The plant produces a stem that rises from a basal rosette of lobed leaves, with smaller, alternately-growing leaves farther up the stem and terminating in small white flowers that bloom throughout the year. Capsella tolerates poor growing conditions in both sandy and loamy, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade and reaches a height of eighteen inches. The heart-shaped seedpods apparently resemble the leather pouches once carried by shepherds, hence, the plant's common names, Mother's Heart and Shepherd's Purse. Capsella has a long history. It was known to be a food as early as 595 B.C., as evidenced by excavations from Catal Huyuk, a large, Neolithic, urban cultural site in Turkey, and seeds were found in the stomach of the preserved ''Tollund Man'' (c. 500 B.C. - A.D. 400), who was discovered in a Danish bog. Early use of Capsella in herbal medicine was confirmed by the first-century Roman scholar and naturalist, Pliny (A.D. 223-279), who praised the seeds as an effective laxative. In the 1500s, the Italian physician, Pietro Mattioli, cited the herb to help stop excessive bleeding, a use that has remained to this day, and it is interesting to note that modern research has confirmed the plant's hemostatic properties. The seventeenth-century herbalist, Nicholas Culpepper, recommended the herb's medicinal qualities, saying, ''few plants possess greater virtues than this [Capsella]'' and went on to prescribe it for bleeding from internal or external wounds; and du |

Celandine Herb (Greater Celandine) Powder 1/4 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. Greater Celandine - 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: Common Celandine, Garden Celandine, True Celandine, Swallow Wort, Tetterwort *Note: Greater Celandine should never be confused with Lesser Celandine - an entirely different plant with different applications. Greater* Celandine has been used for centuries to cleanse the system with the ability to clear the liver and stimulate an under-active gallbladder and improve scrofulous diseases, eczema and jaundice. Greater Celandine is also thought to relieve spasms and indigestion. History: Greater Celandine is an herbaceous perennial with a thick and fleshy root, a round, slender and hairy, branching stem that breaks very easily. Greater Celandine (sometimes called True Celandine) grows mainly in Europe and Asia, but has also been introduced into North America, and it produces yellow or orange flowers, which is the only characteristic the plant shares with Lesser Celandine. The whole plant, which grows to a height of about three feet, abounds in a bright orange juice, which is emitted wherever the stems or yellowish-green leaves are broken. The juice is acrid with a nauseous taste and strong, disagreeable odor and is a powerful irritant. Greater Celandine may be found growing by old walls, on waste ground and in hedges, nearly always in the neighborhood of human habitations, thriving in most soil types in sun or shade. Its use may be traced to antiquity, when the first-century scholar, Pliny, called it chelidon, meaning ''swallow'' in Greek, because the plant comes into flower when the swallows arrive and fades at their departure. The plant's botanical, Chelidonium, is merely a corruption of its Greek name. Both Pliny and the later, sixteenth-century herbalist, John Gerard, recommended Greater Celandine to clear the films from the cornea of the eye. In his 1597 Herball or Generall Historie of Plantes, Gerard claimed, ''the juice of the herb(e) is good to sharpen the sight, for it cleanseth things that cleave about the ball of the eye and hinder the sight.'' The juice of the plant is so acrid that legend says Queen Elizabeth I once avoided a painful tooth extraction by dropping i |

Clubmoss Herb (Lycopodium clavatum; Shen Jin Cao; Club Moss) Powder 1/4 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.

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: Common Club Moss, Vegetable Sulphur, Wolf's Claw, Stag's Horn Clubmoss, Muscus Terrestris Repens, Ground Pine Club Moss has been used for many years as an effective diuretic that eases many conditions associated with suppressed urine, including the flushing of stones and gravel from the kidneys and gallbladder, accumulation of fluids in the tissues that produce swelling (edema), bladder irritation, cystitis, gout and rheumatoid arthritis, and that's just the beginning. History: Club Moss is a moss-like evergreen plant with spores in club-shaped strobiles, and despite the name, it is not technically a moss, but rather, it is a plant allied to ferns. Like fern, it is flowerless and seedless and has true leaves, stems, and roots. Club Moss is a descendant of primitive plants that once dominated the Earth, growing nearly one hundred feet in height during the Carboniferous Era of about 360-286 million years ago. The vast amounts of Club Moss vegetation that decayed has greatly contributed to the coal deposits we know today. Modern Club Moss, which is a creeping plant, is much smaller in size, usually growing no higher than four inches or longer than ten feet and thrives in wet-to-moist, well-drained, loamy soils in woodlands, dappled shade, or even deep shade, in a humid atmosphere. Club Moss does not propagate by seeds, but rather by single-celled propagules, or spores, and the species herein described (L. clavatum) is a rather advanced vascular plant that has specialized fluid-conducting tissues and produces a cluster of strobiles at the shoot apex, which increase the number of spores that can be produced. Club Moss is found throughout the world, but the spores used for herbal medicines and commercial purposes are chiefly collected in Russia, Germany and Switzerland in July and August. The tops of the plants are cut when the spikes approach maturity, and the spores (yellow powder) are shaken out of the kidney-shaped capsules (or sporangia) that grow on the inner side of the bracts covering the fruit spike and are separated by a sieve. The whole plant was used by physicians of the |
