Bilberry Whole (Vaccinium myrtillus) 1 lb: K
This is Frontier’s double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. Also called Whortleberry, Huckleberry and European Blueberry. The blue-black berry is creamy white inside. Bilberries, a principal food of the grouse, are a staple of sweet European haute cuisine for sauces, glazes, mousses, syrups, chutneys, jams, jellies, cobblers, pies, cakes and tarts. Here's a couple of simple Bilberry recipes: Bilberry Tart ½ lb pastry 2.2 lb bilberries 2 spoons sugar Line a pie-dish with the pastry. Fill with fruit. Bake in the oven and dust with sugar when cooked Bilberry Jam Soak and soften dried fruit, drain, crush in pan with wooden spoon, add juice of 1 lemon to each 2 lbs bilberries and simmer until soft. Add warmed sugar, 1½ lbs to each 2 lbs fruit. Boil to setting point. Pot and cover. Medicinally, bilberry is used as an infusion, decoction, extract and tincture. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Bilberry for 'Nonspecific, acute diarrhea. Local therapy of mild inflammation of the mucous membranes of mouth and throat.' 'Dosage: Internal: Daily dosage 20 - 60 g. External: 10 percent decoction; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Dried drug for infusions, as well as other galenical preparations for internal use and local application. Duration of Administration: If diarrhea persists for more than 3 - 4 days, consult a physician. Action: Astringent.' The dried berries and leaves have been recommended for scurvy, urinary tract infections, kidney stones and diarrhea. Modern research on bilberry was kick-started by British World War II pilots, who noticed that their night vision improved when they ate bilberry jam prior to night bombing raids. The plant appears to assist the retina, the light-sensitive part of the eye, in adjusting quickly to both dark and light. Research has shown that this is probably a result of the plant's anthocyanosides, which have antioxidant properties and appear to boost oxygen and blood delivery to the eye. In one study of 50 patients with age-related cataracts, it was found that taking bilberry extract along with vitamin E supplements stopped the progression of cataracts in nearly all of the participants. The study did not, however, isolate the effects of the vitamin from the bilberry. But bilberry has also shown promise in the treatment of other eye disorders, such as diabetic retinopathy and pigmentary retinitis, so bilberries and eyes seem to go together. Anthocyanosides also appear to strengthen collagen, the protein that provides support to healthy connective tissue. Anthocyanosides help larger blood vessels maintain good circulation throughout the body. A 1988, single-blind, placebo-controlled study of this herb included 60 patients with poor circulation (venous insufficiency). The results showed that bilberry extract decreased the part |

To Bee or not to Bee, but there is no question that Bee Pollen has become a popular nutritious supplement that helps to enhance vitality, build the immune system, increase stamina and strength, and even combat depression. It is no wonder that Bee Pollen is often called ''Nature's Perfect Food!'' History: Bee Pollen is one of the many gifts that bees have bestowed on mankind (think of beeswax, honey, bee propolis and royal jelly), and as yet scientists have not been able to duplicate this wondrous substance in a laboratory. Even when manmade pollen has been created with every known nutrient present in the real pollen, bees will die when fed the lab-produced, synthesized food. Bee Pollen is a powder-like material that is produced by the anthers of flowering plants and gathered by bees and picks up the nutrients of every plant it visits. This is a particularly rich, non-airborne pollen called entomophile pollen that is needed by those flowers to guarantee their fertilization, and unlike the wind-carried anemophile pollen, it generally does not trigger allergic reactions. This entomophile pollen is processed by the honeybee and is rich in protein, essential fatty acids, B-complex vitamins, vitamins A, C, E and D, carotene, enzymes, almost all known minerals, trace elements, sodium, plant sterols, and simple sugars. Beneficial Uses: Bee Pollen is the favorite of many athletes who use it to help increase their endurance, stamina, speed and strength before workouts or competitions and to help recover more swiftly after strenuous exercise. It appears to improve not only endurance and energy, but also physical acuity and sharper mental response. Many people use it to fight overall fatigue. With regard to mental response, Bee Pollen appears to be effective in helping people who suffer from mental fatigue, stress, depression and the inability to concentrate. It is a natural energy food that helps to improve mental clarity and the capacity to concentrate for longer periods of time. Bee Pollen is considered one of the finest sources of immunity-building nutrients that stimulate glands and enhance the body |

Other common names: Blueberry, Huckleberry, Black Whortles, Whortleberry, Burren Myrtle, Whinberry, Dyeberry, Wineberry, Grouseberry, European Blueberry, Fraughan (Irish) Improve your vision! During World War II, some RAF pilots enjoyed Bilberry preserves on their bread, and it was noted that these men were more successful in hitting their targets. Later research discovered that Bilberry does, in fact, reduce eye irritation, nearsightedness and night-blindness, and it also extends range and clarity of vision. Pregnant women find the herb to be beneficial, as it fortifies veins and capillaries and combats fatigue. History: Bilberry is a shrubby perennial plant that is native to the northern parts of Europe, Asia and North America and may be found in damp, acidic soils throughout the temperate and subarctic regions of the world. The angular, green, branched stem grows from a creeping rootstock to a height of one to two feet, and the leaves are alternate, weakly serrate, dark green and shiny on top and approximately one inch long. The reddish pink or red and white, solitary, auxiliary flowers have a pitcher shaped corolla and appear in May and June. The fruit is usually blue-black; it may be red in some cases, and the berry is five-seeded. Bilberry is similar in appearance and closely related to the American blueberry and huckleberry, but it contains higher quantities of the constituents useful for improved eye health and better circulation. The easiest way to distinguish the Bilberry is that it produces single or pairs of berries on the bush instead of clusters like the blueberry. Another way to distinguish them is that while blueberry fruit meat is light green, Bilberry is red or purple. Bilberries are rarely cultivated but fruits are sometimes collected from wild plants growing on publicly accessible lands, notably in Scandanavian countries, Scotland, Ireland, England and Poland. Its name is derived from the Danish word, bollebar, meaning ''dark berry,'' and its botanical genus,vaccinium, is derived from an ancient Greek word derived from prehistoric Mediterranean languages, referr |

This time-honored herb has a reputation for alleviating fatigue and depression, treating memory loss and even prolonging life! An ancient proverb claimed, ''Two leaves a day keep old age away.'' History: Gotu Kola is a low-growing, creeping vine that is native to India and may be found in marshy areas and roadside ditches in China, Africa, Sri Lanka and other parts of Southeast Asia. Interestingly, it may also be found in the southeastern part of the United States. In Indian cuisine, it is sometimes served as a salad or cooked vegetable and has also been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine to revitalize the nerves and brain cells. In Sri Lanka, the leaves are said to be the favored food of elephants (an elephant never forgets?). Historically, in traditional Indian and Chinese medicines, Gotu Kola is considered to be one of the best herbal nerve tonics and a life-enhancer that contributes to long life. It is prominently featured in the Shen Nong Herbal, compiled in China over two thousand years ago, as one of the ''miracle elixirs of life,'' and legend says that the Chinese herbalist, LiChing Yun, who claimed to have lived for 256 years, credited Gotu Kola for his longevity. Gotu Kola is rich in beta-carotene, sterols (campesterol, stigmasterol and sitosterol), saponins (also called triterpenoids), alkaloids, flavonols, saccharides, amino and fatty acids, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, zinc and vitamins B1, B2, B3, C and K. Its active ingredients sometimes vary, depending on the geographic area from which the herb is gathered, but it does not contain cola or caffeine, as its name would suggest. Beneficial Uses: This time-honored herb has a reputation for improving concentration and learning ability. It is a restorative tonic for mental decline in old age, because it protects the blood vessels that supply oxygen to the brain and stimulates circulation. It is con |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Buckeye, Common Horse Chestnut, Bark Bongay, Konker Tree, Spanish Chestnut Horse Chestnut is used to improve the circulatory system. It strengthens capillary walls and dilates blood vessels, which helps to relieve varicose veins, phlebitis, swollen ankles and local edema. The herb is said to reduce blood clots and hardening of the arteries, and may thus help to prevent strokes and heart attacks. Horse Chestnut also helps to loosen and expel lung congestion, which alleviates bronchitis, respiratory catarrh and coughs. History: The Horse Chestnut is a large deciduous tree that is native to southeastern Europe (notably the Balkan countries) and cultivated in temperate Europe and North America (in 1763, the first Horse Chestnut tree was blooming in a Pennsylvania garden). The sturdy Horse Chestnut is a close relative of the buckeye tree (Ohio Buckeye [Aesculus glabra] or the California Buckeye [Aesculus glabra californica], etc.), which is a native of North America, but quite different in application. The Horse Chestnut tree is highly ornamental and bears palm-shaped, serrate leaves, chandelier-like white flowers with a pink-to-yellow spot, followed by globose, spiny, green-brown fruits filled with several shiny, red-brown seeds. This exotic tree, frequently considered a sign of prosperity, may reach a height of eighty to one hundred feet and can be found in parks, gardens and streets, thriving in fertile, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. According to Renaissance herbal writings, the Turks used the Horse Chestnuts to treat respiratory ailments in horses; hence, we have its English name, as well as its botanical specific, hippocastanum (hippo is the Greek word for horse). Native Americans of the Northeast used Horse Chestnut as a remedy for cold symptoms and ''carried'' the nuts to ward off rheumatism. It is interesting to note that in European folk medicine, it was also carried in the pocket for preventing and curing arthritis. Horse Chestnut was also used to relieve hemorrhoids.

Other common names: Kuzu, Pueraria, Gwat Gun, Ge Gan, Pueraria Root, Japanese Arrowroot A staple in Japanese and Chinese herbal medicine, Kudzu has been a traditional treatment for stiff neck, headache, muscle tension and neurological conditions. For over two thousand years, Chinese physicians have relied on it to reduce alcohol abuse, relieve respiratory problems and counteract poisons. History: The creeping Kudzu vine is native to Japan and China and was brought to the United States in the twentieth century as a noble experiment to prevent soil erosion and to provide fodder for animals. What is a protected vine in the ''Land of the Rising Sun'' has been called the ''Green Menace of the South'' in the United States. Kudzu is a coarse, high-climbing, and fast-growing plant that can grow one foot per day. It has engulfed many of the southeastern states, covering and killing trees and other growth and thriving in its warm climate, well-drained soil and sun. The root is used for medicinal purposes and may be traced back for centuries. Kudzu was first mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine in the Shen Nong Canon of Herbs, begun during the Han dynasty (206 B.C.- A.D.23), as a treatment for headache, stiff neck with pain due to high blood pressure and alcohol abuse. Its use in modern Chinese medicine includes the treatment of angina pectoris. Kudzu has many uses in Japan, including medicine, food and commercial products. Kudzu starch is used for thickening soups and noodle making, and the stems yield an important fiber called kokemp that is important in the manufacture of cloth and paper. Chemical constituents in Kudzu include p-coumeric acid, quercetin, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, starch, vitamin B-2, puerarin, genistein, daidzin and daidzein. Beneficial Uses: Kudzu has long been a treatment for alcohol abuse in the Orient. The tea that is made from Kudzu is called xing-jiu-ling, which is literally translated as ''sober up.'' Researchers in Indiana University discovered two compounds in Kudzu that alter the enzymes that break down alcohol in the liver, and as a result, |

Other common names: Sweet Clover, White Melilot, King's Clover, White Sweet Clover, Yellow Sweet Clover, Hay Flowers, Sweet Lucerne, Wild Laburnum, Hart's Tree, Plaster Clover Melilot is considered a natural anticoagulant (its main active constituent is coumarin!) with blood thinning properties that may be very helpful as a venous tonic, improving the flow of blood through the veins to the heart and may thus relieve varicose veins and swollen legs. Melilot also helps to clear congestion, reduce retained fluid and ease aching and painful joints. History: Melilot is an erect annual or bienniall herb with smooth, multi-branched stems, bearing serrate leaflets and sweet-smelling, white or light yellow flowers that grow in towering spikes to a height of five feet. The tender plant is a native of Europe and has been naturalized across North America, brought to the United States in the late 1600s, and still used today as a valuable forage crop for animals and soil enhancer predominantly in the Great Plains and Upper Midwest. Melilot may be found on roadsides and in fields, waste places and chalky banks in well-drained-to-dry, neutral-to-alkaline soil in sun and is drought tolerant. The species, Melilotus vulgaris, Melilotus alba (White Sweet Clover) and Melilotus officinalis (Yellow Sweet Clover) may be used interchangeably in herbal medicine. The plant's botanical genus, Melilotus, is derived from two Latin words, mel, meaning ''honey'' and lotus, meaning the ''lotus flower,'' referring to the great sweetness of the plant and the fact that it is such a great favorite of bees. Melilot has been used medicinally for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians used it to treat intestinal worms and earache, and the second-century physician, Galen, prescribed it in poultices for the relief of inflammations and swollen joints. In Anglo-Saxon England, Melilot was made into a salve for wounds and sores, a remedy that may still be found in rural British areas as ''Melilot Plasters.'' Horses, cattle (and bees) love the tender and aromatic Melilot, and it is highly regarded as a fodder. Interestingly, howev |

Keep it healthy and nourished with Milk Thistle. This remarkable herb is said to have no pharmaceutical equivalent for its beneficial effects on the liver, spleen and gallbladder. Rid yourself of toxins and temporary depression, and boost your immunity with Milk Thistle. In the meantime, you'll also gain valuable antioxidant protection. History: Milk Thistle is a stout, spiny annual or perennial that is native to the Mediterranean region and has been naturalized throughout Europe and parts of North America and Australia. This common weed grows to about six feet in height in the dry, rocky soils of fields and waste places. The plant produces a purple flower, and there are distinctive white markings on its leaves, which legend has described as the splashes of the Virgin Mary's milk. Historically, it has been a very popular plant in Europe for its medicinal and dietary qualities and is still a favorite in France as a wholesome, delicious vegetable and as an ingredient in salads. The seeds and leaves are used in herbal medicine, and their use goes back two thousand years. The Greek, Dioscorides, prescribed Milk Thistle to remedy the poison of snakebite, and in the first-century, the Roman, Pliny, wrote that it was excellent for ''carrying off bile,'' meaning that it restored impaired liver function, a claim that has been justified by many modern researchers. In the Middle Ages, the liver was regarded as the seat of emotions (both in Europe and in traditional Chinese medicine), and depression and emotional distress were ultimately thought to be caused by a malfunction of the liver.

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: White Pine Bark, Eastern White Pine, Northern White Pine, Pumpkin Pine, Soft Pine, Deal Pine, Weymouth Pine (in Britain) Pine Bark is an old and trusted treatment for colds and flu. It loosens and expels phlegm from the respiratory tract, easing bronchitis and lung congestion, and its warming qualities stimulate circulation, which may ward off colds and flu before they settle in. The high content of nature's most powerful antioxidants (proanthocyanidins/PCSs/OPCs) in Pine Bark have made it the focus of much attention in the area of combating free radical damage, arteriosclerosis and strokes. History: The Eastern White Pine is the tallest evergreen tree that is native to eastern North America and one of many Pine varieties that have been used medicinally in various countries from the earliest times. The Eastern White Pine is the official State Tree of both Maine and Michigan and is also the Provincial Tree of Ontario. The species was imported into England by Captain George Weymouth in 1620, who planted it widely for a future timber crop, but it was not successful because of Blister Rust disease. The Eastern White Pine is a hardy conifer that grows to a height of one hundred, fifty feet, or more, thriving in well-drained, neutral to acid soil in sun and a cool climate and covered with a deeply fissured, gray-brown bark. In natural, pre-Colonial days, the White Pine is said to have grown to two hundred and thirty feet in height, and the tree still has the distinction of being the tallest tree in eastern North America. Its branches grow in regular whorls and bear soft, bluish-green, needle-like linear leaf clusters (fascicles) of five. Both male and female trees produce long, slender cones. Mature trees can live to two hundred years old; some live as long as four hundred years! Prior to the American Revolution and during the age of the great sailing ships, the high quality of Eastern White Pine was valued for its use in mast making by the British Royal Navy, and Pine is still widely grown in plantation forestry and valued in the commercial timber industry.

Rutin is one of a class of flavonoids that also includes hesperidin, quercetin, eriodictyl and citron and is essential for the absorption of vitamin C.
