History: Malva Leaf is an annual or perennial that is native to southern Europe and Asia and later introduced to North America. The plant may be cultivated or found wild in waste places, fields and along fences and roadsides in Europe and North America, growing to a height of four feet in well-drained to poor soil in sun or partial shade. The whitish root puts up a round stem, bearing alternate, light green, downy leaves and produces pink or purple flowers, which bloom from May to October. Malva Leaf (like other mallows) is one of the oldest medicinal plants in the world. It was used in teas in China more than five thousand years ago and employed by Greek and Roman physicians to treat internal and external disorders, calling it omnimorbium, meaning ''the remedy of all illnesses.'' It continued as an important ''cure-all'' treatment throughout the Middle Ages, and like all mallows, it is principally known for its soothing qualities. There are many species of mallow that are often used inter-changeably with Malva sylvestris (high mallow), including M. Moschata (Musk mallow), M. neglecta (Dwarf or Low mallow), and M. rotundifolia (Roundleafed mallow); however, none are quite as potent as their close relative, Althaea officinalis (the Marsh Mallow). Some constituents in Malva Leaf include a high mucilage content (made up of complex carbohydrates), flavonoids, anthocyanidins, polysaccharides, volatile oil and tannin. Beneficial Uses: Malva Leaf, like all mallows, is a demulcent, and its particular excellence involves soothing irritated tissue and relieving various forms of inflammation. The leaves contain high amounts of mucilage, made up of complex carbohydrates, which give the herb most of its |

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.

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: Papaw, Mamao, Tree Melon, Paw-Paw, Gandul, Fan Kua Troubled with heartburn and indigestion? Try Papaya Fruit! Papaya contains papain, a remarkable, protein-dissolving enzyme that eases many stomach ailments and is an exceptional aid to digestion. A rich source of minerals and vitamins A, C and E, Papaya also breaks down wheat gluten, which may be of great help those with Celiac disease. History: Papaya is an herbaceous tree with a stem of spongy, soft wood that is hollow in the center and bears melon-like fruit. It is an interesting tree, in that the male and female parts exist in different trees, and trees may grow to a height of twenty to thirty feet. The Papaya Tree needs a tropical climate that is dry when cold and wet when warm; consequently, its greatest success appears in the equatorial zone with its warm wet season and cool dry season. It is extremely sensitive to frost, and water-logging will kill the taproot within forty-eight hours. The Papaya tree is especially susceptible to parasites, pests and diseases. This fussy plant needs a lot of water but must have good drainage, and it bears most fruit in light, porous, slightly acidic soils that are rich in organic matter. Said to be a native of the Caribbean and Central America, the Papaya is the true papaw that now grows abundantly throughout tropical America, Hawaii and many other tropical climates throughout the world. Although grown to some extent in south Florida, the true papaw is not related to the North American papaw. The fruits, leaves and latex are all used medicinally. The delicious fruit is usually pear-sized and has a central cavity filled with edible, pea-sized seeds. Generally, the fruit is melon-like, oval to nearly round, and the skin is waxy and thin but fairly tough. As the fruit ripens, it becomes yellow externally, and the thick wall of flesh becomes aromatic, yellow, orange or various shades of red. Papaya Fruit is eaten as a melon, included in salads and when unripe, it is cooked as a vegetable. The seeds are said to have a similar flavor as capers. The green fruit, stems and |

Other common names: Greater Plantain, Common Plantain, Ripple Grass, Cuckoo's Head, Rat-tail Plantain, Englishman's Foot, White Man's Foot, Ribwort, Waybread, Waybroad, Snake Weed, Broad-leaved Plantain, Dooryard Plantain Common Plantain, like all members of the plantago family, contains a high amount of mucilage, which soothes and cools mucous membranes, while at the same time its astringency helps to relieve diarrhea, excess menstrual flow, hemorrhoids and incontinence in children and adults. It is also used to soothe the lungs while effectively loosening and expelling phlegm and congestion. Plantain also helps to control vaginal and other types of infection, remove obstructions from the liver, kidney and bladder, and possibly help in managing weight control. ''...wherever the English have taken possession of the soil, the Plantain springs up.'' from Longfellow's ''Hiawatha'' History: Plantain is an annual or perennial plant that is native to Eurasia and introduced to the New World by early settlers. The plant has been naturalized throughout temperate North America and may be found wild in fields, roadsides, lawns and waste places, thriving in well-drained soil in full sun and grows from one to two feet in height. Plantain produces a radial rosette of broad, oval leaves and a few densely flowered spikes of greenish-white to greenish-brown flowers that bloom from April to October. It is frequently called a common weed that will take over a lawn, destroying and replacing the grass that originally occupied the site, but it has been greatly valued since antiquity for it medicinal qualities. It grows better than most other plants in compacted soils, and is wind-pollinated and propagates primarily by seeds, which are held on the long, narrow spikes that rise above the foliage. The standard native English name is Greater Plantain, though it is also called Common Plantain in some areas where it is introduced, particularly North America. It was one of the nine sacred herbs mentioned in the Lacnunga, the most ancient source of Anglo-Saxon medicine, where it was called ''The Mother of He |

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 |

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: Cinnamon Wood, Fennel Wood, Ague Tree, Smelling Stick, White Sassafras, Red Sassafras, Silky Sassafras, Saxifrax Sassafras has been used for centuries as a tonic to cleanse the liver and blood, which thus helps to alleviate internally caused skin ailments, such as acne, eczema and psoriasis, as well as relieve gout, arthritis, rheumatism and liver ailments. It is said to help the body rid itself of toxins and pollutants through efficient removal of wastes. History: Sassafras is one of three species of laurel and the only one that is native to eastern North America (the other two are found in eastern Asia), and it is considered the most important. It may be a small, aromatic bush or grow as a large, deciduous tree to a height of fifty or sixty feet with a rough, gray (or reddish brown) bark, bearing many slender branches and hairless leaves, which can be of three different types (a smooth oval, a two-lobed or a three-lobed leaf) - sometimes all three being found on the same tree and even the same branch. The young leaves and twigs are mucilaginous and produce a lemony fragrance when crushed. The roots are large and woody, with a spongy bark, and the plant also produces small greenish-yellow flowers that bloom in the spring, followed by small, pea-sized fruit (actually, a blue-black berry on a red stem). Sassafras is an attractive ornamental that thrives in deep, rich, neutral-to-acid soil in sun or shade, sheltered from late spring frosts. When the Spanish arrived in Florida in the early sixteenth century, they discovered the fragrant Sassafras tree but mistook it for a cinnamon tree, which has given it one of its common names, Cinnamon Wood. The name, Sassafras, was given to us by the sixteenth-century botanist, Nicolas Monardes, and is said to be a corruption of the Spanish word for saxifrage, another plant species. Native Americans added many drugs to our modern pharmacopoeia, including Sassafras, and they used the bark as a general tonic and as a diaphoretic and diuretic or ''blood purifier,'' by urinating or sweating out impurities from the system.

Other common names: Fragrant Solomon's Seal, Lady's Seals, Saint Mary's Seal, Sealwort, Sigillum Sanctae Mariae, Yu Zhu, Angular Solomon's Seal, True Solomon's Seal, Dropberry, Sealroot Solomon's Seal has been used for centuries to heal wounds, repair damaged tissue and knit broken bones; relieve dry coughs and tuberculosis; treat chronic dysentery, diarrhea and hemorrhoids. Italian women of the seventeenth century used Solomon's Seal as a beauty treatment to improve their complexions and remove age spots and freckles. In addition to all that, Solomon's Seal was also included in love potions as an aphrodisiac - no wonder that King Solomon put his ''Seal of Approval' on such a wonderful herb! History: Solomon's Seal is a close relative of the Lily of the Valley and was formerly assigned to the same genus (Convallaria, but now Liliaceae), with several similar species that are native to North America, northern Europe and Siberia, and cultivated as popular garden ornamentals. The hardy perennial has stems of three feet in height that finally curve gracefully and bear pale green, oval leaves and drooping clusters of creamy white flowers, followed by blue-black berries. It thrives in light, well-drained, moist, humus-rich soil in partial shade or in sun (preferring forests) with a cool root run. The creeping rootstock, or underground stem, is thick and white and is lifted in autumn and used in herbal medicine. Because of the creeping rootstock, the plant multiplies very rapidly. The plant's botanical genus, Polygonatum, refers to the ''many-angled'' knots on the root or the numerous joints on the stems. Its English name is believed to refer to the flat, round scars on the rootstocks, resembling the impressions of a seal; and when the root is cut transversely, it resembles Hebrew characters, giving rise to the legend that the wise King Solomon, who knew of the virtues of the roots, set his seal upon them. In A.D. 130-200, the most famous physician of his day, Galen, recommended the use of Solomon's Seal root to remove freckles, spots and marks for a fresh, fair and lovely skin. In the sixteent |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Oak Bark, Tanner's Bark, Quebec Oak White Oak Bark is a powerful astringent that has been used for centuries to control diarrhea, internal and external bleeding, excessive menstrual flow, nosebleeds and hemorrhoids. It is also a potent antiseptic that has helped to control bacterial invasion and infection and has been employed to relieve vaginal and bladder infections, among others. History: The White Oak tree is a stately, deciduous member of more than fifty species of oaks found in the United States, and is said to be native to the eastern part of North America. The ''Mighty Oak,'' long a symbol of strength (and the emblem on the first flag of the Revolutionary forces during the United States War of Independence), thrives as an ornamental in rich, deep, well-drained, acidic soil in sun or partial shade and may reach well over one hundred feet in height at maturity. In ancient times, the Oak was dedicated to Thor, the Norse god of thunder, and this gave rise to the false belief that an Oak tree could never be struck by lightning. This belief led to the placement of acorn symbols in a home for protection, with acorn-shaped wooden pulls attached to Venetian Blind cords to guard those dwelling within. Oak's botanical genus, Quercus, is said to be derived from the Celtic word, quer, meaning ''fine'' and cuez, meaning ''tree,'' and its botanical specific, alba, is translated from Latin, meaning ''white.'' The White Oak has been an important medicinal treatment in the history of Native Americans and settlers alike. Several Native Americans ate the ground meal from acorns of the White Oak as a dietary staple, and many tribes used White Oak Bark as an important medicine for diarrhea, wounds and hemorrhoids. The Menominees and Potawatomis used a liquid from the scraped inner bark medicinally as a treatment for piles, and the Penobscots drank its liquid to treat diarrhea. The settlers learned of its medicinal uses from the Native Americans and also used it as a substitute for the English Oak, often employing it in barrel making, leather tanning and shipbuilding.
