History: Ginkgo Biloba is sometimes called a living fossil and the only surviving member of the Ginkgo family. It is one of the oldest living tree species, a deciduous conifer, dating back over three-hundred million years. Individual trees may live for one thousand years, as they are resistant to viruses, fungi, insects, pollution and even radiation, and they may reach 122 feet in height. Native to China, it has been included in Chinese herbal medicine's repertoire for almost five thousand years, where it was used for respiratory tract ailments and for memory loss in older adults. The trees were introduced to Europe in 1730 and the United States in 1784 as ornamentals, but since the 1980s, Western medical interest in the plant has grown dramatically since its potent actions on the cardiovascular system were identified. Different parts of the plant have different properties with different medical applications. Most commercial growth of Ginkgo is centered in plantations in South Carolina, France and China. Some of Ginkgo's constituents include amino acids, tannins, quercetin, beta-carotene, flavone glycosides, bioflavones, sitosterol, lactones, anthocyanin, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, B-vitamins and vitamins A and C. Ginkgo is now among the leading prescription medicines in both Germany and France. Beneficial Uses: Ginkgo Biloba improves blood and oxygen flow to the brain and has been most effective in treating senility, dementia, depression, anxiety, forgetfulness and inability to concentrate and ADD (attention deficit disorder) in adults. Ginkgo's most exciting application may be in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease by helping to speed the bl |

Other common names: Eye Root, Indian Dye, Yellow Indian Paint, Yellow Puccoon, Yellowroot, Ground Raspberry, Orange Root, Indian Turmeric, Eye Balm, Jaundice Root Goldenseal is immensely popular as an immune booster and antibiotic that is taken at the onset of a cold to help prevent further symptoms. Often called echinacea's partner, Goldenseal, is said to help stimulate the body's resistance to infection and is another ''must have'' herb for your home. History: Goldenseal is a hardy, herbaceous, North American woodland perennial that grows under two feet in height with a thick, yellow root and a single, erect stem producing leaves and a flower. The flowers are small, white, and a patch of Hydrastis will not remain in blossom longer than a week or ten days. From the flower, a single, red, inedible fruit emerges, but it is the roots, dug from three-year-old plants, that are used in herbal medicine. Its botanical genus, Hydrastis, is said to be derived from two Greek words signifying ''water'' and ''to accomplish,'' probably attributed because of its active effect on the body's mucous membranes secretions. Western knowledge of Goldenseal begins about two hundred years ago, when Benjamin Smith Barton's Essays Towards a Materia Medica of the United States was published with information about the herb. In 1798, he observed that the Cherokees used it as a folk cancer remedy, which is also one of the earliest observations of the occurrence and treatment of cancer among American Indian groups. Few wildflowers were as important to the American Indians as the versatile Goldenseal. The roots supplied the Cherokee and Iroquois with a brilliant yellow dye for their weapons and clothing, a paint for their faces (giving the plant one of its common names, Yellow Indian Paint) and medicinal remedies for indigestion, inflamed eyes, mouth ulcers, cancer, tuberculosis and edema. It may not have been effective for all those ailments, but its efficacy as an antiseptic and in stopping bleeding was well noted. Pioneers quickly adopted Goldenseal, and it became a mainstay of American folk medicine, freque |

Other common names: Muirapuama, Marapauma, Muira Puama, Muira Pauma, Marapuama, Marapama, Muiratam, Potent Wood Muirapauma is said to be a powerful aphrodiasic for both men and women that has been used to correct erectile dysfunction and impotence in men and frigidity in women and is also believed to enhance arousal and prolong the sexual experience. Muirapauma is also used to relieve central nervous system disorders, digestive disturbances and menstrual difficulties. History: Muirapauma, sometimes spelled Marapauma or Muirapuama, is a South American small tree (or bush, growing to only five feet in height) that is native to the Amazon rain forests and predominantly the northern and northeastern parts of Brazil. It produces white flowers with a jasmine-like fragrance that is at once aromatic and pungent. Muirapauma is one of the most active botanicals with a long history of traditional use as an energy tonic, general health improver and remedy for impotence and sexual insufficiency. Amazon natives of the Rio Negro area have used it for centuries as an aphrodisiac for both men and women, and many different native populations have used it in a tea, which is slightly bitter (but can be sweetened) to enhance virility and impotence. It is alleged to be effective against a multitude of symptoms. In Notas Sobre Plantas Brasileires (1930), M. Penna claimed that Muirapauma treated disorders of the nervous system, impotence, as well as gastronintestinal and circulatory asthenia; and the herb has been in the Brazilian Pharmacopoeia since the 1950s. In 1993, D. Schwontkowski wrote in his Herbs of the Amazon that Muirapauma not only treated impotence, but also frigidity, menstrual cramps and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). One study at the UCLA School of Medicine determined that the roots of this Amazonian tree may improve both erectile function and sexual desire, and two French studies claimed that it improved libido and sexual function. Muirapauma was brought back to Europe by explorers who noted its indigenous uses and aphrodisiac qualities, and it became part of herbal medicine in England, where |

Other common names: Lucky Fungus, Ganoderma, Happy Fungus, Lingzhi, Ling Chi, Chaga, Mushroom of Immortality Reishi Mushrooms have been revered in China for thousands of years as an almost magical fungus that was believed to not only prevent serious ailments, but also help seriously ill persons to recover from disease. Modern studies have shown remarkable medical potential for the use of Reishi Mushrooms in promoting healthy heart function and combating viral infection and other serious malignant diseases. It is considered a fine antihistamine, and it appears that this tasty treat is fast becoming an important support for the immune system and overall good health! History: The Reishi Mushroom is called the ''Phantom Mushroom'' in Japan, because it is so rare and difficult to find. In China, the fungus grows on old tree trunks in the coastal areas, and in Japan (Ganoderma japonicum), over ninety-nine percent of all the Reishi Mushrooms found growing in the wild are located on old Japanese plum trees. Fewer than ten mushrooms will be found on 100,000 trees! Happily, the art of growing Reishi indoors was perfected in Japan by developing an elaborate, two-year-long method of culturing wild spores on plum tree sawdust. Because of the growing popularity of the Reishi Mushroom as a food and as a remarkable medicinal source, it is now cultivated commercially in North America, China, Taiwan, Japan and Korea. Reishi grows in six different colors, with the red variety most commonly used. The botanical specific, lucidum, is derived from the Latin word, meaning ''shiny'' or ''brilliant,'' obviously referring to the shiny, varnished surface of the Reishi Mushroom's cap, which may be reddish-orange to black. The stalk is usually attached to the cap at the side, and the fruiting body of the Reishi Mushroom is utilized for medicinal purposes. For four thousand years, the Chinese and Japanese have used the Reishi Mushroom to treat liver disorders, hypertension, arthritis and other ailments. Reishi Mushrooms have been regarded in China as the ''Medicine of Kings'' and ''Elixir of Life'' and are stil |

It is a plant (algae), and its blue-green color comes from chlorophyll (green) and phycocyanin (blue). We know of two groups of people in history who recognized and profited from the nutritional benefits of Spirulina, and they were the Aztecs of Mexico and Kanembous of Chad in Africa, where it is still an important staple in the diet of the population living near the small lakes and dunes that border Lake Chad. Spirulina/ Blue Green Algae can be found under several other botanical names that can also be used interchangeably, i.e., Spirulina maxima, Spirulina pratensis, Spirulina platensis, Algae pratensis.
