Stevia Green Leaf Liquid Extract (Stevia rebaudiana) 2 fl oz: HH
Used as a sugar substitute for people with diabetes, hypoglycemia, dieters, and anyone who wants a natural alternative to sugar. A small amount of Stevia goes a long way. Stevia is a sugar-free and calorie-free sweetener. It does not cause cavities or have side effects This is an extract of the whole green stevia leaf, with no other ingredients or fillers of any kind. That is, this is not a extract of refined white stevia powder, but a sweet, highly nutritious tincture of the whole green stevia leaf. Stevia is also known as Sweetleaf or Candyleaf. Stevia is a safe, all-natural alternative to artificial sweeteners and refined sugar in the diet. It has neither calories nor carbohydrates, is suitable for diabetics, doesn't cause tooth decay, and has been shown to reduce hypertension. Stevia has been used for centuries by the Guarani Indians of Paraguay both as a sweetener and as medicine. Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni was popularized, and named, by Dr. Moises Santiago Bertoni, the director of the College of Agriculture in Asuncion. He first heard of the herb in 1887, and encountered a live plant for the first time in 1903. In 1908 the first stevia crop was harvested, and plantations began to spring up. A 1913 memo from the official public scientific laboratory in Hamburg, Germanywarned the established sugar industry, 'specimens received are of the well-known plant which alarmed sugar producers some years ago.' In 1960s Japan, there was a popular movement against adding chemicals such as artificial sweeteners to food. Manufacturers there were on the lookout for a natural alternative to sugar, and Stevia was introduced to the Japanese market in 1970. It is currently used in many products there and makes up 40% of the Japanese sweetener market. The Japanese use it in sugar-free versions of Wrigley's gums and diet Coke. Stevia is about 300 times sweeter than sugar in its natural state, and much more so when processed. Its medicinal uses include regulating blood sugar, preventing hypertension, treatment of skin disorders, and prevention of tooth decay. Other studies show that it is a natural antibacterial and antiviral agent as well. Stevia is actually good for you! Recently there have been studies linking stevia extract with normalization of blood sugar and insulin in diabetics. In China Stevia and stevioside is used in herbal medicines and toothpaste. In China, Korea and Japan Stevia extract Stevioside is used as a table top sweetener because it has 0 calories, 0 carbohydrates, 0 fat and is many times sweeter than sugar. Stevia has no fat, no carbohydrates, making it perfect for diabetics, low-carb diets, and people with candida. It has undergone dozens of tests world-wide and was found to be free of toxins. As a real threat to the vast sugar-aspartame industry, Stevia continues to be highly politicized in the US. While no one in Japan has complained about any Stevia related health problems for the past thirty years, over 75% of food-addi Manufacturer: Health and Herbs

Jojoba Hair & Skin Care Oil 1 fl oz: C
This popular hair-care oil is free of dye, emollients, scents, additives and chemicals of any kind. Itis also used in combination with other oils for skin care. A liquid wax rather than an oil, jojoba mimics sebum and penetrates skin very rapidly. It is therefore not good for massage, but excellent for nourishing skin. It is healing for inflamed skin, psoriasis, eczema, or any sort of dermatitis. It can help control acne and oily skin or scalp since excess sebum actually dissolves in jojoba. Jojoba is anti-oxidant and may help extend the life of other oils. Used also for hair care. Good for all skin types, but can sometimes clog pores. The myristic acid it contains is anti-inflammatory, so this could be a good base oil for treating rheumatism and arthritis. Use a 10% dilution or full strength. Acne Recipe: 50ml Jojoba oil, 8 drops Lavender oil, 3 drops Geranium oil, 4 drops Bergamot oil. Apply to affected areas 1-2 times daily. Tucson Jojoba Oil and Beer Conditioner: Source: The Commercial Appeal - August 25, 2002 1 cup warm beer 1 teaspoon jojoba oil Mix together. Shampoo and rinse as usual.

Echinacea Herb 30 vegicaps: K
Promotes A Healthy Immune System The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Purple coneflower herb (Echinacea purpurea) for 'Internal use: Supportive therapy for colds and chronic infections of the respiratory tract and lower urinary tract. External use: Poorly healing wounds and chronic ulcerations.' 'Contraindications External: None known. Internal: Progressive systemic diseases, such as tuberculosis, leucosis, collagenosis, multiple sclerosis. No parenteral administration in case of tendencies to allergies, especially allergies to members of the composite family (Asteraceae), as well as in pregnancy.' 'Daily dosage: 6 - 9 ml expressed juice; equivalent preparations. External: Semi-solid preparations containing at least 15 percent pressed juice. Mode of Administration: Pressed juice and galenical preparations for internal and external use. Duration of Administration: Preparations for internal and external use: Not longer than 8 weeks.' Actions: In human and/or animal experiments, Echinacea preparations given internally or parenterally have produced immune effects. Among others, the number of white blood cells and spleen cells is increased, the capacity for phagocytosis by human granulocytes is activated, and the body temperature is elevated.' Grieve: 'Echinacea purpurea has similar properties to E. angustifolia; the fresh root of this is the part used.' Ellingwood: 'There is considerable confusion concerning the identity of the active medicinal species of echinacea. The echinacea purpurea of the Eastern States has been thought to be identical with the echinacea angustifolia of the Western States. It is often used for the same purposes, but is universally disappointing. King introduced it into his dispensatory as rudbeckia purpurea.' The two forms of Echinacea share similar, but not identical, chemistries, and similar, but not identical, medical reputations. Echinacoside, for instance, is found in E. angustifolia but not E. purpurea. But the two plants are so closely related, that an amateur botanist would have difficulty telling one from the other by looks alone. Echinacea possesses confirmed anitbacterial and antiviral properties. It is profoundly supportive of the immune system. Echinacea is effective both internally, against such as colds, flu and tonsilitis, and externally against many kinds of stubborn skin problems. The decoction can be used as a mouthwash for pyorrhoea and gingivitis, and as a douche for vaginal infections. Echinacea is the subject of much contemporary research. Its complex chemistry seems to support the immune system by activating white blood cells. Echinacea also increases the production of interferon, an important part of the body’s response to viral infections. Many double-blind studies have confirmed that echinacea is effective for treating colds and flu. Other modern clincial studies confirm that echinacea, taken both internall Manufacturer: Nature's Answer

Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil Cert Organic 1/3 fl oz: C
Rich in color and smell, a powerful, deliciously agreeable spicy oil with warming and stimulating properties. Excellent for exhaustion, weakness and muscular aches, particularly resulting from flu. Particularly good for the elderly during winter for prevention as well as speedy recovery. Useful for coughs and colds and correcting imbalances resulting in flatulence, diarrhoea, colic and sluggish digestion. Cinnamon leaf oil possesses the delicate aroma of the spice and a sweet and pungent taste. Cassia, or Chinese cinnamon, is the spice sold as cinnamon in the United States. Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) is equally popular worldwide. The two are similar in taste, though Ceylon cinnamon has a sweeter, more delicate flavor. This oil, Cinnamomumzeylanicum leaf oil, is less irritating to the skin than Cinnamomum cassia bark oil, but both should be handled with care. Aromatherapy benefits: comforting, energizing, warming. Blends well with: Benzoin, Cloves, Coriander, Cardamom, Frankincense, Ginger, Grapefruit, Lavender, Rosemary and Thyme. Essential and resin oils are volatile, fragrant materials extracted from the root, bark, wood, seed, fruit, leaf or flower of a single plant. Essential oils contain the odor, taste and medicinal properties of the plant itself, but in very concentrated form, with no base oil, alcohol, water or dilutants added. Steam distillation and cold pressing are used to extract the essential oil from the plant. Starwest Essential Oils are guaranteed to be 100% pure and undiluted. The distillation process occurs either at the site where the plants are grown or at a distillery. Each oil is tested for purity and strength using the gas chromatography method. Packaged in glass amber bottles to preserve the oils, the 1/3 ounce size has a fitted dropper insert and a tamper-evident, child-proof lid. The larger items are in amber glass or PET gallon containers, depending on the product. Starwest’s pure essential oils are suitable for use in aromatherapy, cosmetic preparation, healing and body care, potpourris and more. Essential oils are very potent and should always be used sparingly and in conjunction with a reliable reference. Manufacturer: Starwest Botanicals

Honey Date (Phoenix dactylifera; Mi Zao) Whole: 500 gm (1.17 lb): V
This is Plum Flower brand's nitrogen-flushed vacuum pack. Plum Flower is one of the most distinguished herb houses in the world. Sulfur Free, Chlorine Free, Aluminum Phosphate Free. Sulfites are used to give herbs the appearance of freshness. As with dried fruit. un-sulfured herbs look different than those that are adulterated with preservatives. Herbs that are preservative free are more natural looking and are generally darker. The brightness of the herbs may be appealing, but it indicates the presence of harmful additives. Despite their appearance, unsulfured herbs are more fresh and safer than regular commercially available products. The use of sulfur, chlorine and aluminum phosphate was made unnecessary through the establishment of Plum Flower processing stations in China. Herb harvesters slice and process the herbs fresh, avoiding the need to rehydrate dried herbs later to process. This first step is crucial, as rehydration leads to decomposition and thus the need for preservatives. The herbs are then packed and the packages vacuum-packed, injected with nitrogen, and sealed. The nitrogen process combined with the lack of sulfur treatment inhibits the growth of anaerobic organisms, resulting in safer, higher quality herbs. After opening, store in a cool dry place. The facilities in Lanzhou and Guang Zhou, China, scientifically test each batch of herbs before, during and after the processing to make sure that all the active ingredients are present. Herbs are also tested to ensure that the formulas surpass all FDA guidelines regarding heavy metals. Those herbs exported to the U.S. are voluntarily submitted to the FDA for approval. Finally, batches are regularly sent outfor quality control testing in third-party labs to double-ensure that Plum Flower products are 100% free of pharmaceuticals, preservatives and dyes. The Lanzhou and Guang Zhou factories are so clean, they are certified by the Australian Government’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (GMP). These standards surpass any of the FDA, and are considered the highest for any government agency in the world. Varuna Fulfillment Center items are special ordered. These take an extra week to deliver. Manufacturer: Plum Flower Brand

Valerian Root Indian C/S (Valeriana wallichii) 1 lb: C
This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Valerian root is used as a tea, decoction, fluid extract and tincture. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Valerian root for 'Restlessness, sleeping disorders based on nervous conditions.' 'Dosage: Unless otherwise prescribed: Infusions: 2 - 3 g of drug per cup, once to several times per day. Tincture: ½ - 1 teaspoon (1 - 3 ml), once to several times per day. Extracts: Amount equivalent to 2 - 3 g of drug, once to several times per day. External Use: 100 g for one full bath; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Internal: As expressed juice fromfresh plants, tincture, extracts, and other galenical preparations. External: As a bath additive. Actions: Sedative: Sleep-promoting' The World Health Organization also recommends Valerian as a mild sedative, pain-reliever and sleep-promoting agent. Valerian root contains many constituents, including essential oils that appear to contribute to the herb's sedating qualities. Contemporary clinical studies have demonstrated that Valerian significantly improves sleep quality without morning grogginess. Regular, moderate use produces neither dependency nor health risks. Valerian was included in many editions of the United States Dispensatory (Merck) since 1849, which reported the herb's effect on the nervous system and its ability to produce drowsiness and sleep. Various valerian species are still included in the pharmacopoeiae of many nations including Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The United States Pharmacopeial Convention has accepted a valerian monograph for inclusion in the National Formulary (Pharmacopeial Forum, 1998). It is widely used as a sedative and antispasmodic in the United States. Valerian preparations appear to be candidates for safe and effective nonaddictive alternatives to conventional sleep medications. Valerian roots contain several compounds with demonstrable pharmacological activity. Valerian analyses have primarily focused on the essential oil, valerenic acid and valepotriates. In the United States, the essential oil and valerenic acid are commonly used as marker compounds for qualitative and quantitative analysis of valerian root and valerian products. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Valerian is a powerful nervine, stimulant, carminative and antispasmodic.' 'It has a remarkable influence on the cerebro-spinal system, and is used as a sedative to the higher nerve centres in conditions of nervous unrest, St. Vitus's dance, hypochrondriasis, neuralgic pains and the like.' 'The drug allays pain and promotes sleep. It is of especial use and benefit to those suffering from nervous overstrain, as it possesses none of the after-effects produced by narcotics.'

Lemon Paraffin Ear Cone Candles 12-pack: K
Our Beeswax and Parafin candles are made with the highest quality muslin and cotton cloths, along with pure Beeswax and Parafin wax. Our scented ear candles are infused with pure essential oils which will enhance the ear candling experience. Full instructions come with every package to insure the processof cone candling can be done safely and effectively. Ear Oil, containing olive oil, garlic, lobelia, and mullein are powerful immune building and lubricating herbs necessary towards the process of loosening earwax and debris. A 2 oz bottle, for the price of most 1 oz. bottles, can last a family up to a year. Cone candling of one form or another, has been performed since ancient times ranging from Tibet, Egypt, and all the way to North and South America. The first cone candle was made by Tibetans along the Tigris River thousands of years ago. The candle maker dried a reed, placed one side of the hollow cylinder in his ear and ignited the other end. This was the beginning of the art of candling. Soon Tibetans, Egyptians, Mayans and American indians were using cone candles with great results. Today, more people than eer before are using ear cone candles to clean debris from their ears. Ear cone candling is based on Burnelli''s Law of Airflow, which states that when a hollow cylinder (cone candle) is heated, air will be drawn into the cylinder at an increased rate and forced out of the cylinder with greater force. Thus, any loose material within the cylinder would be forced toward the exit point of the cylinder. Ear cone candling creates a gentle vacuum, painlessly pulling debris from the ear. What to look for in a cone There are hundreds of cone candles to choose from, make in a variety of materials, shapes, and sizes. So how do you choose a quality ear cone? First, look to see if the cone candle is cylindrical. If a cone candles is very large at one end and very small at the other end, it reduces effectiveness. most reputable companies use a cone with a 7/8'' end tapering down to 3/8''. Second, look for a cone candle that''s labeled with clear instructions for how to use it. According to cone candle manufacturers, the art of candling has been used safely for thousands of years; even so, it''s very important to read and follow directions carefully. Instructions for Use Have all your items close to the person. Find a comfortable place for the person being candled to lie down, making sure all items are easily accessible. Have the person lie on one side with ear opening level. Place the ear cover cloth, or protector, over the area being candled and cover hair and skin as completely as possible. Insert the small end of the candle snugly into the ear, so no vacuum will escape. You must create a seal. Once this has been done, the assistant can light the candle. Help the assistant adjust the candle to where it feels most comfortable, insuring that no air leak is coming from the ear opening. Important: NEVER HOLD THE CANDLE STRAI Manufacturer: Cylinder Works

Glucosamine Complex 60 capsules: K
•Helps to Rebuild Cartilage* •Helps Repair Ligaments* Glucosamine is a vital component for building and repairing connective tissue, cartilage and ligaments in the joints.* Glucosamine is not only safe but an active supporter of proteoglycan synthesis (i.e., a producer of cartilage macromolecules consisting of a protein bound to a glucosaminoglycan). There is increasing evidence that Glucosamine does in fact relieve joint pain and inflammation for many arthritis sufferers, and that it may slow progression of the disease. Because of its ability to reduce and--in some cases--completely eliminate the pain of osteoarthritis, some physicians and researchers feel Glucosamine might offer similar benefits for people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, spinal disc degeneration, tendinitis, bursitis, and physical injuries to the joints. There is even speculation that it could play a preemptive role, eliminating the development of osteoarthritis. Glucosamine stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans, two essential building blocks of cartilage. This appears to 'jump start' the body’s own natural production of Glucosamine. Combining Glucosamine with chondroitin sulfate has been demonstrated to increase its effectiveness. Glucosamine has been used to treat osteoarthritis in Europe since the 1980s. Several recent scientific studies have supported its effectiveness, and its popularity in the U.S. is spreading quickly. In November 1999, a Belgian group of researchers presented a study to the American College of Rheumatology showing that glucosamine may slow the progression of osteoarthritis of the knee. At a recent symposium of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the official 'green light' was given to glucosamine as a valid therapeutic alternative when NSAIDs such as aspirin and ibuprofenare ineffective or contraindicated. Other clinicians at the symposium suggested that glucosamine could be recommended as first-line therapy in selected patients with osteoarthritis. Glucosamine, in either the sulfate, HCL, or acetylated forms, is so safe that it is a dietary supplement not even subject to FDA approval. Manufacturer: Natrol

Asafoetida Powder (Ferula assa-foetida) 1 lb: K
This is Frontier's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. Asafoetida gets its name from the Persian aza, for mastic or resin, and the Latin foetidus, for stinking. It is a gum from the sap of the roots and stem of the ferula species, a giant fennel that exudes a vile odor. It is vital to keep asafoetida in airtight containers as its sulfurous odor will affect other foods and spices. This is a very powerful spice and even in its ground state lasts well over a year if stored properly, away from light and air. This is traditional powdered asafoetida, that is, the pure ground resin mixed with rice flour and gum arabic. It is much easier to use than the pure resin alone, and may be added directly to recipes (the unmixed resin requires preparatory frying). Use in minute quantities, adding directly to cooking liquid, frying in oil, or steeping in water. Asafoetida is used mostly in Indian vegetarian cooking, in which the strong onion-garlic flavour enhances many dishes, especially those of Brahmin and Jain castes where onions and garlic are traditionally prohibited. It is used inmany lentil dishes (often to prevent flatulence), vegetarian soups and pickles. It is also suited to many fish dishes, and some pappadums (lentil-flour flatbreads) are seasoned with asafoetida. Cooking radically improves both the taste and smell of asafoetida powder. Asafoetida use is an art. If used with sufficient moderation, asafoetida enhances mushroom and vegetable dishes, but can also give fried or barbecued meat a unique flavour. Lentils with Cumin and Asafoetida: http://www.recipecottage.com/beans/lentils03.html: 1 cup red and yellow split lentils ½ teaspoon turmeric ¾ teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons vegetable oil A generous pinch of asafetida ½ teaspoon cumin seeds 2 to 3 dried hot red chilies Put the lentils in a heavy pot with 2 ½ cups water and the turmeric. Stir and bring to a simmer. (Do not let it boil over.) Cover, leaving the lid just very slightly ajar, turn the heat to low, and simmer for 40 minutes, or until tender. Stir a few times during the cooking. Add the salt and mix. Leave covered over very low heat. Heat the oil in a small frying pan over fairly high heat. When hot, add the Asafoetida, then, a second later, the cumin seeds. Let the cumin seeds sizzle for a few seconds. Add the chilies. As soon as they turn dark red, this takes just a few seconds, lift up the lid of the lentil pot and pour in the contents of the frying pan, oil as well as the spices. Cover the pot to immediately trap the aromas. Serve warm.

Myrtle Essential Oil 1/3 fl oz: C
Myrtle is an evergreen shrub that grows wild throughout the Mediterranean. The oil has a distinct, spicy, camphor-like aroma. The better oils exhibit a sweeter, fresher note. Myrtle oil is used to add a spicy, herbal component to outdoors and natural-type colognes. Myrtle has been used commercially for many years in men’s soaps, cosmetics, colognes, and hair tonics. It has been known to control dandruff, promote hair growth, treat muscular aches, neuralgia, rheumatism and poor circulation. It blends well with bergamot, lavandin, lavender, rosemary, clary sage and lime oils. Aromatherapy benefits: clarifying, cleansing. In Aromatherapy it is used for Acne, Haemorrhoids, Oily Skin, Open Pores. An expectorant for coughs and bronchitis. Helps the immune system with colds and flu. Root bark formerly used in tea as an astringent and emetic for chronic gastritis, diarrhea, dysentery, leucorrhoea and in mouthwash for sore, bleeding, or sensitive gums, it is also good for circulation, catarrhal states of the alimentary tracts, jaundice, scrofula, bowel inflammation, excessive menstrual bleeding, uterine discharge, and indolent (hard to heal) ulcers. Leaf tea was used for fevers, sore throats, bronchitis, cholera, typhoid, epilepsy, indigestion, hemorrhoids, externally as a wash for itching. Can cause skin irritation and can be a mucous membrane irritant. Dilute before use. King's American Dispensatory, 1898: 'Myrtle has recently been revived as a remedy forrelaxation of parts with mucous and other profluvia. The oil and the alcoholic solution of the same possess anodyne properties, less in degree, however, than that of menthol and peppermint oil.' Essential and resin oils are volatile, fragrant materials extracted from the root, bark, wood, seed, fruit, leaf or flower of a single plant. Essential oils contain the odor, taste and medicinal properties of the plant itself, but in very concentrated form, with no base oil, alcohol, water or dilutants added. Steam distillation and cold pressing are used to extract the essential oil from the plant. Starwest Essential Oils are guaranteed to be 100% pure and undiluted. The distillation process occurs either at the site where the plants are grown or at a distillery. Each oil is tested for purity and strength using the gas chromatography method. Packaged in glass amber bottles to preserve the oils, the 1/3 ounce size has a fitted dropper insert and a tamper-evident, child-proof lid. The larger items are in amber glass or PET gallon containers, depending on the product. Starwest’s pure essential oils are suitable for use in aromatherapy, cosmetic preparation, healing and body care, potpourris and more. Essential oils are very potent and should always be used sparingly and in conjunction with a reliable reference. Manufacturer: Starwest Botanicals

Elder syrup has been shown to lessen flu symptoms and speed recovery. Elder flowers have been shown to be anti-inflammatory. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Elder Flowers and Elder Berries have long been used in the English countryside for making many home-made drinks and preserves that are almost as great favourites now as in the time of our great-grandmothers. The berries make an excellent home-made wine and winter cordial, which improves with age, and taken hot with sugar, just before going to bed, is an old-fashioned and well established cure for a cold.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: (of the closely related Sambucus canadensis) 'Sambucus canadensis is an indigenous shrub, growing in all parts of the United States... S. nigra is indigenous to Europe, growing in situations similar to those of the American variety. The two plants possess similar medicinal properties. The medicinal parts are the flowers, the berries, and the inner bark.' 'Sambucus is stimulant to all of the emunctories, increasing secretion.' 'In warm infusion, elder flowers are diaphoretic and gently stimulant; in cold infusion, they are diuretic, alterative, and cooling, and may be used in all diseases requiring such action, as in hepatic derangements of children, erysipelas, erysipelatous diseases, etc. In infusion, Manufacturer: Gaia Herbs

Bach Scleranthus Flower Essence 20 ml / 0.7 fl oz: K
Scleranthus (Scleranthus Annus) Scleranthus is for people who suffer indecision: people in need of Scleranthus find it difficult to make decisions, particularly when faced with a choice of two possibilities. These people lack balance and poise; their grasshopper minds make them jump about in conversation. They are up and down in mood, experiencing extremes of joy/sadness, energy/apathy, optimism/pessimism, laughing/crying. This changeable outlook can make them unreliable and they can waste time and lose opportunities due to indecision. The positive potential of Scleranthus is certainty and decisiveness, with poise and balance in all circumstances. Positive Schleranthus people are able to make quick decisions and act promptly when necessary. The Bach Flower Essences are made 100% naturally from spring water infused with wild flowers, either by the sun steeping method or by boiling. The Essences are hand produced exclusively in England without the aid of mechanical devices. You should always keep in mind, however, that the remedies are preserved in neat brandy, and for this reason use caution when giving them to recovering alcoholics or people who are allergic to alcohol or object to its use on religious or moral grounds. · Agrimony for people who put a brave face on their troubles · Aspen for people who are anxious or afraid but don't know why · Beech for people who are intolerant and critical of others. · Centaury for people who allow others to impose on them · Cerato for people who doubt their own judgment · Cherry Plum for uncontrolled, irrational thoughts and the fear of doing something awful · Chestnut Bud for people who repeat mistakes and don't learn from experience · Chicory for over-possessive, selfish people who cling to their loved ones · Clematis for day-dreamers · Crab Apple for those who dislike something about the way they look and as a general cleanser · Elm for responsible, capable people who in a crisis doubt their ability to cope · Gentian for people disheartened when something goes wrong · Gorse for people who have lost hope, often without cause · Heather for talkative types who are obsessed with their own problems · Holly for negative feelings of hatred, envy, jealousy and suspicion · Honeysuckle for people who live in the past · Hornbeam for mental tiredness at the thought of a coming task · Impatiens for impatience and irritation at other people's slowness · Larch for fear of failure and lack of confidence · Mimulus for people who are afraidof something real that they can name · Mustard for gloom and depression with no known cause · Oak for strong, indefatigable people who can over-extend themselves by trying too hard · Olive for people physically drained by exertion or illness · Pine for those who blame themselves when things go wrong · Red Chestnut for excessive worry about the welfare of loved ones · Rock Rose for extreme fright and terror · Rock Water for people whose self-discipline and high standards are carried Manufacturer: Bach Flower Remedies

Chairata Herb Powder (Swertia chirata) 120 vegicaps: B
Used as an infusion, decoction and extract. King's American Dispensatory, 1898: 'This drug possesses the tonic properties of gentian and similar bitters. It is valued in Hindustan, where it is much employed in urinary complaints with uneasiness in the region of the kidneys, frequent urging to urinate, which is accomplished with difficulty, and in cases of uric acid deposits. It is a remedy also for convalescence from exhausting sickness, and for atonic and nervous forms of dyspepsia. Dose of chirata, 10 to 20 grains; fluid extract, 10 to 20 minims; infusion (ss to boiling water Oj), fli to flii, 3 times a day.' According to Ayurveda, this herb is a bitter tonic, stomachic. It is useful in liver and kidney disorders. From the National Library of Medicine: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=journals: Phytother Res. 1999 Feb;13(1):24-30. Antihepatotoxic activity of Swertia chirata on carbon tetrachloride induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Karan M, Vasisht K, Handa SS. University Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Panjab University, Chandigarh, India. The methanol extract of Swertia chirata was evaluated for antihepatotoxic activity against carbon tetrachloride induced liver toxicity in experimental rats. The extract was found to be active and on fractionation into butanol soluble and chloroform soluble fractions, the activity was traced and found more profound in the chloroform soluble fraction. The butanol soluble bitter rich fraction showed marginal activity. The results based on biochemical estimations have been expressed statistically and are additionally supported by histopathological examination of the liver of experimental rats and pentobarbitone induced sleep time studies in mice. Indian J Exp Biol. 1997 Apr;35(4):384-8. Hepatoprotective effect of Swertia chirata on rat. Mukherjee S, Sur A, Maiti BR. Department of Zoology, University of Calcutta, India. Present work was undertaken to ascertain the hepatoprotective effect of Swertia chirata in albino rats. Intraperitoneal injection of CCl4 (1 ml/kg body wt on every 72 hr. for 16 days) significantly increased serum aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT), alanine aminotransferase (ALAT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities and bilirubin level in rat,but liver glycogen and serum cholesterol levels were decreased. Histologically it produced hepatocytic necrosis especially in the centrilobular region. Simultaneous treatments with S. Chirata (in different doses, viz, 20, 50 and 100 mg/kg body wt daily) and CCl4 (similar dose to that mentioned earlier) caused improvement at both biochemical and histopathological parameters compared to that of CCl4 treatment alone but it was most effective when S. chirata was administered in a moderate dose (50 mg/kg body wt). Drugs Exp Clin Res. 1993;19(2):69-73. Protective effect of Swertia chirata against indomethacin and other ulcerogenic agent-induced gastric ulcers.

Sage Leaf Rubbed Cert Organic (Salvia officinalis) 0.39 oz Pouch: K
Used as an infusion, extract, tincture, poultice – and spice. Red Sage is a versatile gourmet spice. It is a favorite Italian meat and poultry flavoring, and is also used in rich, butter-based pasta sauces. Sage is an overpowering, somewhat bitter spice – useful for strong barbeque-type seasonings. Medicinally, Red Sage tea has traditionally been used for inflammations of the mouth, throat and tonsils, its volatile oils soothing the mucous membranes. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Sage leaf for 'External: Inflammations of the mucous membranes of nose and throat. Internal:Dyspeptic symptoms, excessive perspiration.' 'Principal components of the essential oil, in addition to thujone,are cineol and camphor. In addition, the leaves contain tannins, diterpene bitter principles, triterpenes, steroids, flavones, and flavonoid glycosides.' 'Dosage: Internal: Daily dosage: 4 - 6 g of herb; 0.1 - 0.3 g of essential oil*; 2.5 - 7.5 g of tincture (according to Erg. B. 6); 1.5 - 3 g fluidextract (according to Erg. B. 6). For gargles and rinses: 2.5 g of herb or 2 - 3 drops of essential oil in 100 ml of water as infusion or 5 g of alcoholic extract in 1 glass water. External: Undiluted alcohol extract. 'Mode of Administration: Cut herb for infusions, alcoholic extracts and distillates for gargles, rinses and other topical applications, as well as for internal use. Also pressed juice of fresh plants. 'Actions: Antibacterial; Fungistatic; Virustatic; Astringent; Secretion-promoing; Perspiration-inhibiting.' *Essential oils must be used experimentally at first, in very small quanitites, to assure that there are no adverse reactions. It is very easy to overdose with these highly concentrated oils, and allergic reactions are possible. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Stimulant, astringent, tonic and carminative. Has been used in dyspepsia, but is now mostly employed as a condiment.' 'In the United States, where it is still an official medicine, it is in some repute, especially in the form of an infusion, the principal and most valued application of which is as a wash for the cure of affections of the mouth and as a gargle in inflamed sore throat, being excellent for relaxed throat and tonsils, and also for ulcerated throat. The gargle is useful for bleeding gums and to prevent an excessive flow of saliva.' 'When a more stimulating effect to the throat is desirable, the gargle may be made of equal quantities of vinegar and water, ½ pint of hot malt vinegar being poured on 1 oz. of leaves, adding ½ pint of cold water.' 'The infusion when made for internal use is termed Sage Tea, and can be made simply by pouring 1 pint of boiling water on to 1 oz. of the dried herb, the dose being from a wineglassful to half a teacupful, as often as required, but the old-fashioned way of making it is more elaborate and the result is a pleasant drink, cooling in fevers, and als Manufacturer: Frontier Natural Brands Spices

Feverfew Leaf (Tanacetum parthenium) 100 capsules: K
Nature's Herbs Premium Feverfew Leaf is grown on select farms throughout the world. Only the correct species of Feverfeware propagated to insure the highest concentration of active ingredients in the product. Feverfew is recommended in modern European herbal medicine, as in ancient Greek herbal medicine, as a preventative of migraine headaches. It an effective anti-inflammatory, vasodilator and emmenagogue. It contains a range of compounds known as sesquiterpene lactones, 85% of which are a compound called parthenolide. Parthenolide helps prevent excessive clumping of platelets and inhibits the release of certain chemicals, including serotonin and some inflammatory mediators. According to several double blind studies with migraine patients, feverfew reduces the severity, duration, and frequency of migraine headaches. The same studies also report beneficial side effects of regular use, such as relief from depression and arthritic pain due to inflammation. Painful and sluggish menstrual flow is also relieved by Feverfew. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'As a stimulant it is useful as an emmenagogue. Is also employed in hysterical complaints, nervousness and lowness of spirits, and is a general tonic. The cold infusion is made from 1 oz. of the herb to a pint of boiling water, allowed to cool, and taken frequently in doses of half a teacupful. A decoction with sugar or honey is said to be good for coughs, wheezing and difficult breathing.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Tonic, carminative, emmenagogue, vermifuge, and stimulant. This agent is one of the pleasantest of the tonics, influencing the whole intestinal tract, increasing the appetite, improving digestion, and promoting secretion, besides having a decided action upon the renal and cutaneous functions.' 'The warm infusion is an excellent remedy in recent colds, flatulency, worms, atonic dyspepsia, irregular menstruation, nervous debility, hysteria, suppression of the urine, and in some febrile diseases.' 'In hysteria or flatulency, 1 teaspoonful of the compound spirits of lavender forms a valuable addition to the dose of the infusion, which is from 2 to 4 fluid ounces. The cold infusion or extract makes a valuable tonic. The leaves in poultice are an excellent local application in severe pain or swelling of the bowels, etc.' http://www.herbmed.org/Herbs/Herb124.htm Clinical Trials Meta-analysis of 5 clinical studies indicate feverfew is better than placebo but clinical effectiveness has not been established beyond reasonable doubt Vogler 1998 A randomized, blinded trial with 72 patients found a reduction in number and severity of migraines while duration was unchanged. There were no serious side effects Murphy 1988 9 patients taking placebo had more frequent and severe migraine symptoms than the 8 taking freeze dried feverfew leaf powder in a double blind study Johnson 1985 Manufacturer: Nature's Herbs

Prickly Ash Bark C/S (Zanthoxylum americanum) 1 lb: K
This is Frontier's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. Used as an infusion, decoction, extract, tincture, liniment and poultice. Prickly Ash may be used as a tea or decoction for rheumatism and skin diseases. This herb has the reputation of being helpful for problems of circulation, such as chilblains, cramp in the leg, varicose veins and varicose ulcers. Externally it is helpful as a stimulating liniment for rheumatism and fibrositis. The bark and berries are chemically complex, containing the alkaloids magnoflorine, fagarine, nitidine, laurifoline, chelerythrine, candicine and tambetarine; and the coumarins zanthoxyletin, xanthyletin and alloxanthyletin, as well as resins and tannins. Herculin, an alkamide in the plant, acts like a topical anesthetic. In a recent Chinese hospital trial, Prickly Ash berries, which are chemically similar to the bark, helped with intestinal pain from various causes, including indigestion, ulcers and gallbladder disease. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'It acts as a stimulant - resembling guaiacum resin and mezereon bark in its remedial action and is greatly recommended in the United States for chronic rheumatism, typhoid and skin diseases and impurity of the blood, administered either in the form of fluid extract or in doses of 10 grains to ½ drachm in the powdered form, three times daily.' 'On account of the energetic stimulant properties of the bark, it produces when swallowed a sense of heat in the stomach, with more or less general arterial excitement and tendency to perspiration and is a useful tonic in debilitated conditions of the stomach and digestive organs, and is used in colic, cramp and colera, in fever, ague, lethargy, for cold hands and feet and complaints arising from a bad circulation.' 'A decoction made by boiling an ounce in 3 pints of water down to a quarter may be given in the quantity of a pint, in divided doses, during the twenty-four hours. As a counter-irritant, the decoction may be applied on compresses. It has also been used as an emmenagogue.' 'The powdered bark forms an excellent application to indolent ulcers and old wounds for cleansing, stimulating, drying up and healing the wounds. The pulverized bark is also used for paralytic affections and nervous headaches and as a topical irritant the bark, either in powdered form, or chewed, has been a very popular remedy for toothache in America, hence the origin of a common name of the tree in the States: Toothache Tree.' 'The berries are considered even more active than the bark, being carminative and antispasmodic, and are used as an aperient and for dyspepsia and indigestion; a fluid extract ofthe berries being given, in doses of 10 to 30 drops.' 'Xanthoxylin. Dose, 1 to 2 grains.' 'Both berries and bark are used to make a good bitter.'

Jojoba Oil 1 fl oz: C
This popular hair-care oil is free of dye, emollients, scents, additives and chemicals of any kind. It is also used in combination with other oils for skin care. A liquid wax rather than an oil, jojoba mimics sebum and penetrates skin very rapidly. It is therefore not good for massage, but excellent for nourishing skin. It is healing for inflamed skin, psoriasis, eczema, or any sort of dermatitis. It can help control acne and oily skin or scalp since excess sebum actually dissolves in jojoba. Jojoba is anti-oxidant and may help extend the life of other oils. Used also for hair care. Good for all skin types, but can sometimes clog pores. The myristic acid it contains is anti-inflammatory, so this could be a good base oil for treating rheumatism and arthritis. Use a 10% dilution or full strength. Acne Recipe: 50ml Jojoba oil, 8 drops Lavender oil, 3 drops Geranium oil, 4 drops Bergamot oil. Apply to affected areas 1-2 times daily.

Lychee Pit (Litchi chinensis; Li Zhi He) 5:1 Extract Powder 100 gm: V
This is a potent 5 to 1 powdered extract, meaning that one gram of extract is equal in potency to 5 grams of herb. This extract is packed in Plum Flower Brand's nitrogen-flushed, safety-sealed dispenser bottle, a sample of which is pictured above. Plum Flower is one of the most distinguished herb houses in the world. This is a pure herbal product with no additives. Extracted from sulfur-free and chlorine-free herbs for superior quality. Manufactured in a low-temperature water extraction process to preserve herb integrity. Extracted essential oils are replenished for proper potency. Strict quality control testing to ensure microbiological and heavy metal safety. Only powdered herb added to maintain purity (no artificial fillers such as lactose, cellulose or starch used). TLC (Thin-layer Chromatography) tested to guarantee product quality. Plum Flower takes great care to preserve delicate herbal oils, which are first evaporated using either a water or water-alcohol base in a process that never exceeds 100° centigrade. Sealed vacuum chargers precisely control the temperature, ensuring that none of the oils are lost. Cheaper, high-temperature methods are common industry practice, but these tend to burn off the vital oils. The facilities in Lanzhou and Guang Zhou, China, scientifically test each batch of herbs before, during and after theprocessing to make sure that all the active ingredients are present. Herbs are also tested to ensure that the formulas surpass all FDA guidelines regarding heavy metals. Those herbs exported to the U.S. are voluntarily submitted to the FDA for approval. Finally, batches are regularly sent out for quality control testing in third-party labs to double-ensure that Plum Flower products are 100% free of pharmaceuticals, preservatives and dyes. The Lanzhou and Guang Zhou factories are so clean, they are certified by the Australian Government’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (GMP). These standards surpass any of the FDA, and are considered the highest for any government agency in the world. Varuna Fulfillment Center items are special ordered. These take an extra week to deliver. Manufacturer: Plum Flower Brand
