Galangal Root C/S (Alpinia galanga) 1 lb: C
This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. A rhizome with a hot peppery flavor, galangal is used primarily as a seasoning. Greater galangal is also called Laos ginger, Siamese ginger and Thai ginger. It grows throughout Southeast Asia and is particularly popular in Thai cooking. This creamy white-fleshed rhizome is often used as a substitute for ginger. Chinese five spice powder is sometimes enhanced with galangal. Thai Lemon Grass, Galangal & Shrimp Soup: From: 'Simply Thai Cooking' Wandee Young and Byron Ayanoglu 4 cups water 1 stick lemon grass 4 lime leaves (or 2 tablespoons lime juice) 1 inch galangal root (or ginger root) 2 fresh hot chilies 3 tablespoons fish sauce 1 teaspoon sugar 1 ½ teaspoons chili paste 2 ounces button mushrooms, quartered 16 large shrimps, shelled and deveined (10 oz) 3 tablespoons lime juice Fresh coriander leaves 1. Heat 4 cups water in a soup pot to boiling. 2. Smash lemon grass with the flat of a chef's knife once, and then cut into 1-inch pieces; tear lime leaves into thirds; and slice galangal into thin rounds. Reserve these ingredients together. 3. Crush the fresh chilies and cut in half. Reserve separately. 4. When water has boiled, add the reserved lemon grass/galangal/lime leaves. Boil for 1 minute. Add fish sauce, sugar and chili paste. Boil for another 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and boil for 2 minutes. Add shrimps and lime juice (3 tablespoons plus the other 2 tablespoons if you haven't used the lime leaves) and lower heat to medium-high. Cook for2 minutes, just until the shrimps have turned white and springy. Transfer to a soup tureen, decorate with fresh coriander leaves and serve immediately. Quick and easy, this soup depends on its aromatics for its ethereal allure. The barely poached (definitely undercooked) shrimps, however are what make it a treat. A note about this and other soups: lemon grass, galangal root and lime leaves, the trio of flavors that give many Thai soups their distinctive taste are unchewable, but form dictates that they be left in the soup. It is then up to the soup slurpers to avoid eating them. Medicinally Galangal is often served as a tea or decoction. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Galangal rhizome for 'Dyspepsia, loss of appetite.' 'Daily dosage: Tincture (according to Erg. B. 6): 2 - 4 g; Rhizome: 2 - 4 g. Mode of Administration: Comminuted drug, powder, as well as other galenical preparations for oral application.' 'Actions: Antispasmodic; Antiphlogistic (inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis); Antibacterial.' Modern research confirms Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Stimulant and carminative. It is especially useful in flatulence, dyspepsia, vomiting and sickness at stomach, being recommended as a remedy for sea-sickness. It tones up the tissues and is sometimes prescribed in fever.

Biota Seed (Biota orientalis; Bai Zi Ren) Powdered: 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 withpreservatives. 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 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.

Juniper Berry Essential Oil 1/3 fl oz: C
Juniper berry oil is distilled from the dried ripe berry of the juniper tree. Juniper berry oil has a fresh, warm, balsamic, woody-pine needle odor. It is used with citrus oils in room sprays and in masculine and outdoorsy perfumes, after shaves and spicy colognes. Aromatherapy benefits: supportive, restoring. Some traditional uses: to energize and relieve exhaustion, ease inflammation and spasms, for improving mental clarity and memory, purifying the body, to lessen fluid retention, for disinfecting. It is considered non-toxic but since it can stimulate the uterine muscle it should not be used during pregnancy, nor by people with kidney problems. It is non-sensitizing but some people do have a reaction to it, and it is generally wise to us this oil in moderation. The therapeutic properties of Juniper oil include: antiseptic, anti-spasmodic, astringent, carminative, diuretic, emmenagogue, depurative and tonic. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Juniper berry for 'Dyspepsia.' Juniper oil can help calm the nerves, relieves anxiety, nervous tension and mental exhaustion. It is helpful with relieving urine when the prostate gland is enlarged and in cases of cystitis, inability to pass urine and kidney stones. Itis also helpful for cellulite and fluid retention. Juniper generally helps with the digestive system, particularly with obesity, over-indulgence of food and premenstrual bloating. It is a tonic to the liver; helps regulate the menstrual cycle and eases painful period pains. Juniper oil helps to eliminate uric acid and relieves pain in cases of gout, rheumatism and arthritis. Not only is Juniper oil used for acne, eczema, oily skin, psoriasis and dandruff, it is also an insect repellant. Juniper oil is a very valuable oil and can be used in cases of nervous tension and anxiety, for the urinary tract, for over-eating and obesity, for eliminating uric acid and for skin care. In vapor therapy Juniper oil can be used for the treatment of addictions, nervous tension, hangovers and over-indulgence of food. Juniper oil can be used as a blended massage oil or diluted in the bath for: colic in adults, arthritis, cellulite, nervous tension, cystitis, pain in passing urine, gout, hangover, swollen joints, liver problems, muscle fatigue and overweight. When used in a base cream or lotion, Juniper oil can be useful for an oily skin and acne. Juniper oil can be used diluted on a compress for arthritis, eczema and general infections.

Cinnamon Sticks 10 Inch (Cinnamomum cassia; Rou Gui Pi) 1 lb: C
This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Although in Europe and the U.S. cinnamon is most often associated with sweet dishes, it has broad culinary uses. For example, in India, cinnamon is never used with desserts, but is the main ingredient in curries. In North Africa, not only is cinnamon an ingredient in Raz-el-Hanout, the flavoring of couscous and tagines, but appears also in Berber spices. In Greece, it appears in lamb dishes. And it is an essential spice in Chinese cuisine. Ground, it is one of the constituents of five-spice powder; whole, it is frequently added to flavor braised dishes. In the Caribbean, it is in Jerk seasoning. In Mexico, it appears with chocolate and chili powder in Mole sauces. In the U.S., it is used in barbecue rubs and sauces. Cinnamon is the bark of three bushy evergreen trees of the laurel (Lauraceae) family. The most fragrant and delicate cinnamon is obtained from the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree native to Sri Lanka (which used to be called 'Ceylon'), the western coast of India (known as the Malabar coast), and Burma. Zeylanicum cinnamon is sometimes called 'true cinnamon' and 'old fashioned cinnamon.' But the 'true' part was just advertising copy for the Dutch East India Company's 17th century monopoly. Cinnamon is also derived from the Cinnamomum loureirii tree native to Indonesia and the Cinnamomum cassia tree native to China, Vietnam, and Sumatra. The cinnamon from the loureirii and cassia trees is darker and more pungent and aromatic than cinnamon from the zeylanicum tree. Cassia cinnamon is what most Americans are used to and is the preferred cinnamon in Southern Europe. So don't let the term 'true cinnamon' confuse you; cassia cinnamon is just as true as zeylancium. Neither Grieve, King nor Felter distinguish the cinnamon varieties medicinally – Grieve simply asserting that they all act alike, and King's covers all varieties in one listing, as 'The barks of numerous species of Cinnamomum.' Medicinally, they all act the same, although there are subtle taste differences. Cassia cinnamon has a more intense and less fragrant aroma than zeylanicum (Ceylon) cinnamon. It is sweet, warm, pungent, and slightly astringent. Zeylanicum (Ceylon) cinnamon is pale in color, and more delicate, more fragrant, not as pungent, and not as sweet. It has a slight citrus flavor. Zeylanicum (Ceylon) cinnamon is more expensive than cassia, and better to use in sweet dishes and cakes. Cassia nips the tongue and is more suited to spiced meats, stews, rice dishes, curries, pancake and waffle batters, cinnamon rolls, and flavored drinks. Cassia cinnamon sticks are reddish brown, thick, and coarse in texture. They are the sticks Americans are accustomed to and use in mulled cider and wine. Zeylanicum cinnamon sticks are pale in color, thin, and look like a roll of dried paper; they are delicate and crumble easily. Cassia cinnamon, depending on its origin or strain, is also known as Chinese, Vietname Manufacturer: Starwest Botanicals SKU: 17695 Category: Bulk Herbs-Appetite

Horseradish Root Powder (Armoracia rusticana) 1 lb: C
This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Known for its pungent taste, Horseradish has been used as a condiment and medicine for centuries in Europe. Horseradish contains many compounds similar to mustard, which is in the same botanical family. It is essential in cocktail sauce, specialty mustards, and many other sauces, dips, spreads, relishes and dressings. Medicinally, horseradish was used both internally and externally. Applied to the skin, it causes reddening and was used on arthritic joints or irritated nerves. The glycosides are responsible for the reddening effect (by increasing blood flow to the area) when horseradish is applied topically. Internally, it was considered primarily to be a diuretic, used for kidney stones or edema, and an antiseptic treatment for hacking coughs. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Horseradish for 'Internal: Catarrhs of the respiratory tract; supportive therapy for infections of the urinary tract. External: Catarrhs of the respiratory tract; hyperemic treatment for minor muscle aches.' 'Contraindications: Internal: Stomach and intestinal ulcers, kidney disorders. No administration to children under the age of 4. Side Effects: Internal: Discomforts of the gastrointestinal tract. 'Average daily dosage: 20 g of fresh root; equivalent preparations. External: Preparations with a maximum of 2 percent mustard oil. Mode of Administration: Fresh or dried, cut or ground root, freshly pressed juice as well as othergalenical preparations for internal or external applications. Actions: Antimicrobial; Hyperemic.' Horseradish has antibiotic properties, which may account for its easing of throat and upper respiratory tract infections. It was also recommended as a digestive stimulant. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Stimulant, aperient, rubefacient, diuretic and antiseptic. It is a powerful stimulant, whether applied internally or externally as a rubefacient, and has aperient and antiseptic properties.' 'Taken with oily fish or rich meat, either by itself or steeped in vinegar, or in a plain sauce, it acts as an excellent stimulant to the digestive organs, and as a spur to complete digestion.' 'It is a very strong diuretic, and was employed by old herbalists in calculus and like affections. It is useful in the treatment of dropsy. An infusion for dropsy is prepared by pouring 1 pint of boiling water on 1 oz. of Horseradish and ½ oz. of Mustard seed, crushed. The dose is 2 to 3 tablespoonsful three times a day.' 'The chief official preparation of Horseradish in the British Pharmacopoeia is Comp. Sp. Horseradish; a fluid extract is also prepared. A compound spirit of Horseradish may be prepared with slices of the fresh root, orange peel, nutmeg and spirit of wine, which proves effective in languid digestion, as well as for chronic rheumatism, 1 or 2 teaspoonsful being taken two or three times dail Manufacturer: Starwest Botanicals SKU: 18957 Category: Foods-Dried Fruit and Vegetables

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 and tincture. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Lady's mantle herb for 'Light and nonspecific diarrhea.' 'Average daily dosage: 5 - 10 g of herb; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Cut herb for infusions and decoctions, as well as other galenical preparations for internal use.' 'Duration of Administration: If diarrhea persists longer than 3 - 4 days, consult with a physician.' 'Action: Astringent.' Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Part Used Medicinally: The whole herb, gathered in June and July when in flower and when the leaves are at their best, and dried.' 'Medicinal Actionand Uses: The Lady's Mantle has astringent and styptic properties, on account of the tannin it contains. It is 'of a very drying and binding character' as the old herbalists expressed it, and was formerly considered one of the best vulneraries or wound herbs.' 'Culpepper says of it: 'Lady's Mantle is very proper for inflamed wounds and to stay bleeding, vomitings, fluxes of all sorts, bruises by falls and ruptures. It is one of the most singular wound herbs and therefore highly prized and praised, used in all wounds inward and outward, to drink a decoction thereof and wash the wounds therewith, or dip tents therein and put them into the wounds which wonderfully drieth up all humidity of the sores and abateth all inflammations thereof. It quickly healeth green wounds, not suffering any corruption to remain behind and cureth old sores, though fistulous and hollow.' 'In modern herbal treatment, it is employed as a cure for excessive menstruation and is taken internally as an infusion 1 oz. of the dried herb to 1 pint of boiling water in teacupful doses as required and the same infusion is also employed as an injections.' 'A strong decoction of the fresh root, by some considered the most valuable part of the plant, has also been recommended as excellent to stop all bleedings, and the root dried and reduced to powder is considered to answer the same purpose and to be good for violent purgings.' 'In Sweden, a tincture of the leaves has been given in cases of spasmodic or convulsive diseases, and an old authority states that if placed under the pillow at night, the herb will promote quiet sleep.'

Agrocybe aegerita fruiting in open humidity chamber. The Black Poplar Mushroom Kit contains everything you need, including the source mushroom culture, to begin cultivating the highly desired medicinal and gourmet Black Poplar Mushroom. The foundation of this Mushroom Kit is theWood Based Mushroom Bag. This Bag formula is comprised mostly of a select mix of hardwoods especially formulated for wood loving mushrooms, supplemented with wheat bran, and small amounts of vermiculite for water retention. Each kit will include a 10cc inoculation plunger filled with Agrocybe aegerita culture, ten small Wood Based Mushroom Bags, and a thin plastic, gusseted humidity tent. Each Bag is shipped with all air removed for easy packing. Each Bag contains approximately 1 pound of wet sterilized substrate. To use, simply Unfold the Bag, allowing the extra material to stand straight up. Locate the small foam disk sealed and attached in a plastic housing near the base of the Bag. This disc is the self-healing injector site. Note: The disc will be covered by a small plastic shield. Do not attempt to remove the plastic covering the disc, you will inject through it. Sterilize a small section of the outside of the Bag (on the plastic shield) directly over the foam disc with an alcohol soaked wipe. With the same alcohol soaked wipe, sterilize the needle on your inoculation plunger. Inoculate the substrate (material inside the bag) with the inoculation plunger solution by inserting the needle through the plastic shield and foam disc at the previously sterilized spot. Squirt 2.5cc of the culture solution directly into the substrate material. After injection, remove plunger from hole. The self-healing foam disc will seal the puncture site. Inoculate each bag in this manner, sterilizing the needle of your plunger with an alcohol wipe between each bag. DO NOT insert the needle through the white filter patch found near the top of the Bag. Place the Bag(s) in a dark location and incubate at 70-80F. It is recommend to store the Bag fully extended as developing Mycelia will give off gases that will slowly expand the interior of the Bag. This ballooning effect is crucial for proper air exchange and culture development. Note: During drier summer and winter months it is advisable to store the Bag in a humid location. Excessively dry environments may draw moisture from the Bag. Because colonization will begin in the interior of the substrate material it may take between 14-20 days for you to notice the spreading of colonizing mycelium towards the outside of the Bag. Speed of colonization is directly affected by incubation temperatures, please check to make sure you are incubating the bag at the correct temperature. Typical colonization time is between 21-30 days. When colonization is 90% or 100% complete you will init SKU: 41472 Category: Mushrooms-Grow Kits

Cramp Bark Extract (Viburnum opulus) 2 fl oz: HH
In the Honeysuckle Family, also called Guelder Rose or High Cranberry. Used as an infusion, decoction, extract and tincture. Cramp Bark is a muscle relaxer, of use with tight uterine muscles. It can relieve painful periods, and is a protection against miscarriage. The empirical herbalists are confirmed by verifiable modern methods. Modern research has identified Cramp Bark's active ingredients, the hydroquinones arbutin, methylarbutin, as well as coumarins such as scopoletin and scopoline, and tannins, mainly catechins. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'The bark, known as Cramp Bark, is employed in herbal medicine. It used formerly to be included in the United States Pharmacopoeia, but is now omitted though it has been introduced into the National Formulary in the form of a Fluid Extract, Compound Tincture and Compound Elixir, for use as a nerve sedative and anti-spasmodic in asthma and hysteria.' 'In herbal practice in this country, its administration in decoction and infusion, as well as the fluid extract and compound tincture is recommended. It has been employed with benefit in all nervous complaints and debility and used with success in cramps and spasms of all kinds, in convulsions, fits and lockjaw, and also in palpitation, heart disease and rheumatism.' 'The decoction (½ oz. to a pint of water) is given in tablespoon doses.' 'The bark is collected chiefly in northern Europe and appears in commerce in thin strips, sometimes in quills,½0 to 1/12 inch thick, greyish-brown externally, with scattered brownish warts, faintly cracked longitudinally. It has a strong, characteristic odour and its taste is mildly astringent and decidedly bitter.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'High cranberry bark is a powerful antispasmodic, and, in consequence of this property, it is more generally known among American practitioners by the name of Cramp bark. It is very effective in relaxing cramps and spasms of all kinds, as asthma, hysteria, cramps of the limbs or other parts in females, especially during pregnancy, and it is said to be highly beneficial to those who are subject to convulsions during pregnancy, or at the time of parturition, preventing the attacks entirely, if used daily for the last 2 months of gestation.' 'Like Viburnum prunifolium, it is a remedy for the prevention of abortion, and to prepare the way for the process of parturition. It allays uterine irritation with a tendency to terminate in hysteria, while in the neuralgic and spasmodic forms of dysmenorrhoea, it is a favorite remedy with many physicians. It has been used in spasmodic contraction of the bladder, and in spasmodic stricture.' American Materia Medica, 1919 (Ellingwood): 'Given prior to labor it is a partus preparator of much value, but its action is limited largely to its antispasmodic influence upon erratic pains.' 'It is given with much benefit in severe after-pains, in hysterical conditions, with convulsive phenomena, and in spasmodic dysmenorrhea.

Synonyms: Fusanum. Fusoria. Skewerwood. Prickwood. Gatter. Gatten. Gadrose. Pigwood. Dogwood. Indian Arrowroot. Burning Bush. Wahoo. Parts Used: Root, bark, berries. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': Tonic, alterative, cholagogue (promoting the discharge of bile from the system), laxative and hepatic stimulant. In small doses, Euonymin stimulates the appetite and the flow of the gastric juice. In larger doses, it is irritant to the intestine and is cathartic. It has slight diuretic and expectorant effects, but its only use is as a purgative in cases of constipation in which the liver is disordered, and for which it is particularly efficacious. It is specially valuable in liver disorders which follow or accompany fever. It is mildly aperient and causes no nausea, at the same time stimulating the liver somewhat freely, and promoting a free flow of bile. To make the decoction, add an ounce to a pint of water and boil together slowly. A small wineglassful to be given, when cold, for a dose, two or three times a day. Of the tincture made with spirit from the bark, 5 to 10 drops may be taken in water or on sugar. Euonymin is generally given in pill form and in combination with other tonics, laxatives, etc. Preparations: Fluid extract, 1/2 to 1 drachm. Powdered extract, B.P. and U.S.P., 2 grains. Euonymin, 1 to 4 grains. King's American Dispensatory. by Harvey Wickes Felter, M.D., and John Uri Lloyd, Phr. M., Ph. D., 1898. Euonymus has been in use among physicians for a long time. The bark is tonic, laxative, alterative, diuretic, and expectorant; the seeds are cathartic and emetic. In infusion, syrup, or extract, it has been successfully used in intermittents, dyspepsia, torpid liver, constipation, dropsy, and pulmonary affections. Prof. Locke states" there are but few good stomach tonics, and this agent is one of them." It stimulates the biliary flow, and has considerable anti-malarial influence, and may be used in intermittents after the chill has been broken with quinine. It stimulates the nutritive processes and improves the appetite. It may be used with advantage in atonic dyspepsia, and in indigestion due to hepatic topor or following malarial fevers. It isa remedy for chronic ague, and the consequent obstinate constipation and gastric debility accompanying or following it. A gin tincture (root j to gin flviij), is not without value in some cases of dropsy, particularly when associated with hepatic and renal inactivity. Dose of the tincture (viij to alcohol 76 per cent Oj), from 1 to 4 fluid drachms; of the syrup, from 1 to 2 fluid ounces; of the hydro-alcoholic extract, from 5 to 15 grains; of the powder, from 20 to 30 grains; of specific euonymus, 1 to 30 drops. Specific Indications and Uses.—Prostration with irritation of the nerve centers; periodical diseases, to supplement the action of quinine; anorexia, indigestion, and constipation, due to hepatic torpor.

Sublingual B12-MC 100 tablets: K
80% of Vitamin B12 in the plasma is in the methylcobalamin form. Methylcobalamin is the active form of B12. Sublingual B12-MC is absorbed through the oral mucosal thus by-passing the need for the intrinsic factor in the stomach. This is especially important for the elderly as the intrinsic factor declines with age. B12 also benefits vegetarians who are often deficient due to dietary inadequacy. Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble B vitamin, which is also known as cobalamin because it contains cobalt. Vitamin B12 functions in a wide varietyof metabolic processes involved with DNA synthesis, blood cell formation, nervous system maintenance and heart health.* Vitamin B12 is also involved in energy metabolism from the breakdown of our food.* Vitamin B12 is only found in food products of animal origin and in some fermented vegetable products such as tempeh and miso (fermented soybeans). Primary Uses: DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation.* Secondary Uses: Nerve function, heart health.* Manufacturer: FoodScience Laboratories SKU: 96015 Category: Capsules, Extracts, I-Z-Vitamin B

Saw Palmetto Extract (Serenoa repens) 2 fl oz: HH
Used as a decoction, extract and tincture. Native Americans Americans have long used the fruit of this shrub for food and harvested honey from its flowers. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Saw palmetto berry for 'Urination problems in benign prostatic hyperplasia stages I and II.' 'Daily dosage: 1 - 2 g saw palmetto berry or 320 mg lipophilic ingredients extracted with lipophilic solvents (hexane or ethanol 90 percent v/v); equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Comminuted herb and other galenical preparations for oral use. Actions: Antiandrogenic; Anti-exudative.' Benign prostate enlargement appears to be triggered by abnormally high levels of the male hormones testosterone and dihydrotestosterone in prostate tissue. Saw Palmetto reduces absorption of these hormones within the prostate gland, while reducing inflammation and swelling. This reduces bladder obstruction and improve urinary flow. Saw Palmetto prevents the conversion of testosterone to dihydortestosterone, which helps to prevent the development of prostate disease and may also be beneficial for genitourinary problems, endocrine disorders, infertility, impotence, menstrual disorders, ovarian dysfunction, lactation, thyroid deficiencies, and painful menstrual periods. Saw palmetto does not appear to inhibit production of testosterone elsewhere in the body. At least three rigorous clinical trials have confirmed Saw Palmetto's ability to remedy urinary difficulties. In one comparative trial, it proved equal to the prescription drug Proscar (finasteride) as a source of symptomatic relief (although, unlike Proscar, it had no beneficial impact on the size of the prostate). Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Diuretic, sedative, tonic. It is milder and less stimulant than cubeb or copaiba, or even oil of sandalwood. Like these, it has the power of affecting the respiratory mucous membrane, and is used for many complaints which are accompanied by chronic catarrh.' 'It has been claimed that sabal is capable of increasing the nutrition of the testicles and mammae in functional atony of these organs. It probably acts by reducing catarrhal irritation and a relaxed condition of bladder and urethra. It is a tissue builder.' 'Dosages: Of fluid extract, ½ to 1 drachm. Of solid extract, 5 to 15 grains.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Saw palmetto appears, from clinical reports, to be a nutritive tonic. It is also an expectorant, and controls irritation of mucous tissues. It has proved useful in irritative cough, chronicbronchial coughs, whooping-cough, laryngitis, acute and chronic, acute catarrh, asthma, tubercular laryngitis, and in the cough of phthisis pulmonalis. Upon the digestive organs it acts kindly, improving the appetite, digestion, and assimilation.'

Hibiscus Flowers Powder (Hibiscus sabdariffa; Mei gui qie) 1 lb: K
This is Frontier's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. Makes red zinger tea, mixed with any number of other herbs. The flower is a good adddition to spicy salads, and it makes a fruity, fragrant smoke, both for meats and fish, and in a pipe. Hibiscus tea does have a laxative effect due to its high content of poorly absorbable fruit acids. Researchers have also found that extracts of Hibiscus leaf tend to slightly relax the uterus and reduce blood pressure, thus making it a rather relaxing smoking and sipping herb, especially for those with high blood pressure. http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/duke_energy/Hibiscus_sabdariffa.html: Source of a red beverage known as jamaica in Mexico (said to contain citric acid and salts, serving as a diuretic). Calyx, called karkade in Switzerland, a name not too different from the Arabic. Karkade is used in jams, jellies, sauces, and wines. In the West indies and elsewhere in the Tropics the fleshy calyxes are used fresh for making roselle wine, jelly, syrup, gelatin, refreshing beverages, pudding, and cakes, and dried roselle is used for tea, jelly, marmalade, ices, ice-cream, sherbets, butter, pies, sauces, tarts, and other desserts. Calyxes are used in the West Indies to color and flavor rum. Tender leaves and stalks are eaten as salad and as a pot-herb and are used for seasoning curries. Seeds have been used as an aphrodisiac coffee substitute. Fruits are edible (Watt and Breyer-Brandwijk, 1962). Perry cites one study showing roselle's usefulness in arteriosclerosis and as an intestinal antiseptic (Perry, 1980). Roselle is cultivatedprimarily for the bast fiber obtained from the stems. The fiber strands, up to 1.5 m long, are used for cordage and as a substitute for jute in the manufacture of burlap. Folk Medicine Medicinally, leaves are emollient, and are much used in Guinea as a diuretic, refrigerant, and sedative; fruits are antiscorbutic; leaves, seeds, and ripe calyxes are diuretic and antiscorbutic; and the succulent calyx, boiled in water, is used as a drink in bilious attacks; flowers contain gossypetin, anthocyanin, and glucoside hibiscin, which may have diuretic and choleretic effects, decreasing the viscosity of the blood, reducing blood pressure and stimulating intestinal peristalsis. In Burma, the seed are used for debility, the leaves as emollient. Taiwanese regard the seed as diuretic, laxative, and tonic. Philippines use the bitter root as an aperitive and tonic (Perry, 1980). Angolans use the mucilaginous leaves as an emollient and as a soothing cough remedy. Central Africans poultice the leaves on abscesses. Alcoholics might consider one item: simulated ingestion of the plant extract decreased the rate of absorption of alcohol, lessening the intensity of alcohol effects in chickens (Watt and Breyer-Brandwijk). http://www.herbmed.org/Herbs/Herb43.htm: Clinical Trials 11.2% decrease in systolic blood p Manufacturer: Frontier Natural Brands Bulk Herbs SKU: 22246 Category: Bulk Herbs-Female Support
Cinnamon Powder Cert Organic (Cinnamomum cassia; Rou Gui Pi) 1.46 oz Pouch: K
Although in Europe and the U.S. cinnamon is most often associated with sweet dishes, it has broad culinary uses. For example, in India, cinnamon is never used with desserts, but is the main ingredient in curries. In North Africa, not only is cinnamon an ingredient in Raz-el-Hanout, the flavoring of couscous and tagines, but appears also in Berber spices. In Greece, it appears in lamb dishes. And it is an essential spice in Chinese cuisine. Ground, it is one of the constituents of five-spice powder; whole, it is frequently added to flavor braised dishes. In the Caribbean, it is in Jerk seasoning. In Mexico, it appears with chocolate and chili powder in Mole sauces. In the U.S., it is used in barbecue rubs and sauces. Cinnamon is the bark of three bushy evergreen trees of the laurel (Lauraceae) family. The most fragrant and delicate cinnamon is obtained from the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree native to Sri Lanka (which used to be called 'Ceylon'), the western coast of India (known as the Malabar coast), and Burma. Zeylanicum cinnamon is sometimes called 'true cinnamon' and 'old fashioned cinnamon.' But the 'true' part was just advertising copy for the Dutch East India Company's 17th century monopoly. Cinnamon is also derived from the Cinnamomum loureirii tree native to Indonesia and the Cinnamomum cassia tree native toChina, Vietnam, and Sumatra. The cinnamon from the loureirii and cassia trees is darker and more pungent and aromatic than cinnamon from the zeylanicum tree. Cassia cinnamon is what most Americans are used to and is the preferred cinnamon in Southern Europe. So don't let the term 'true cinnamon' confuse you; cassia cinnamon is just as true as zeylancium. Neither Grieve, King nor Felter distinguish the cinnamon varieties medicinally – Grieve simply asserting that they all act alike, and King's covers all varieties in one listing, as 'The barks of numerous species of Cinnamomum.' Medicinally, they all act the same, although there are subtle taste differences. Cassia cinnamon has a more intense and less fragrant aroma than zeylanicum (Ceylon) cinnamon. It is sweet, warm, pungent, and slightly astringent. Zeylanicum (Ceylon) cinnamon is pale in color, and more delicate, more fragrant, not as pungent, and not as sweet. It has a slight citrus flavor. Zeylanicum (Ceylon) cinnamon is more expensive than cassia, and better to use in sweet dishes and cakes. Cassia nips the tongue and is more suited to spiced meats, stews, rice dishes, curries, pancake and waffle batters, cinnamon rolls, and flavored drinks. Cassia cinnamon sticks are reddish brown, thick, and coarse in texture. They are the sticks Americans are accustomed to and use in mulled cider and wine. Zeylanicum cinnamon sticks are pale in color, thin, and look like a roll of dried paper; they are delicate and crumble easily. Cassia cinnamon, depending on its origin or strain, is also known as Chinese, Vietnamese (Saigon), and Korintje (Sumatran) cinnamon.

Wild Raspberry Herbal Tea, Box of 20 foil wrap tea bags: K
Raspberries grow wild in the cooler regions of the northern hemisphere and in some parts of the southern hemisphere as well. The ancient Greeks were the first to cultivate raspberries. They called the fruit ''''idaeus'''' because it grew wild and abundantly on the slopes of Mount Ida, as it still does today. Thus it is fitting that ''''Rubus idaeus'''' is the botanical name of the primary species for both the wild and cultivated raspberry. The genus also includes the blackberry, which is very similar to the raspberry. Both berries come in a variety of colors from white through yellow, orange, pink, purple, red and black. Thus color is not the distinguishing feature, rather the size of the fruit is. The blackberry fruit is larger than the fruit of the raspberry. The color of the raspberry is determined not only by its species, but also by climate. Raspberries from Northern India and the Himalayas are black, while yellow and white raspberries grow in Europe and parts of Asia. The wild red raspberry which grows in the United States is sweeter than other species. Raspberry jams, jellies, syrups and vinegars are famous around the world, as are raspberry desserts such as ice cream, sorbet, pastries, and pies. However, a bowl of fresh raspberries may be the best raspberry dessert of all. Most people do not realize all the health benefits raspberries offer. One cup of raspberries contains 31 mg of vitamin C, and it is a good source of vitamins B-12 and B-6. Raspberries are also high in fiber, low in calories and contain no fat or cholesterol. Recent clinical research at the Hollings Cancer Institute in Charleston, South Carolina, confirms that a phenolic compound called ''''ellagic acid'''' helps to prevent and possibly inhibit many forms of cancer. Ellagic acid is found in certain fruits and nuts, however, the highest concentration is found in red raspberries. At Stash tea we blend the highest quality, most flavorful botanicals for our Wild Raspberry herbal tea. We combine ruby red hibiscus from China, lemongrass from Peru, Valencia orange peel from the United States, rosehips from Chile, and rose petals from Pakistan. Then we add pure, natural flavor extracts from fresh ripe raspberries. The result is a delicious, fruity tea that is both sweet and tangy and very flavorful. This tea can be enjoyed any time of the day since it has no caffeine. It also makes a great thirst-quenching iced tea. .

Premium Green Tea 20 bags: K
Green tea should be steeped in very hot, but not boiling, water. Boiling water will scorch the delicate flavor, rendering it bitter. Green tea comes mainly from China, Japan, Taiwan and, to a lesser degree, India. The critical difference between green and black tea is that green tea leaves are not allowed to ferment. Green tea is, instead, steamed, rolled and fired. Green tea is the natural dried leaves of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. Black tea is oxidized green tea. The phrase 'Black Tea' is also used as a generic name for all Camelia sinensis teas. The major Black Tea types, from the traditional black tea evergeen (Camellia sinensis), classified according to processing method, include: fermented, or black, tea, producing an amber-coloured, full-flavoured beverage without bitterness; semi-fermented, or oolong, producing a slightly bitter, light brownish-green liquid; and unfermented, or green, tea, resulting in a mild, slightly bitter, pale greenish-yellow beverage. Tea contains only four calories per cup when consumed without added ingredients but is a source of several B-complex vitamins, including B2 and nicotinic acid. Caffeine is responsible for tea's stimulating effect. Flavor is produced by volatile oils, and astringency and color by tannin. Black teas are classified by geographical origin and the size of the processed leaf. Traditional operations result inlarger leafy grades and smaller broken grades. The leafy grades are flowery pekoe (FP), orange pekoe (OP), pekoe (P), pekoe souchong (PS), and souchong (S). BOP=Broken Orange pekoe; FOP=Flowery Orange Pekoe; TGFOP-Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe; FTGFOP=Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe. Green tea is not graded similar to black tea but classified according to age, style of the leaf and manufacture, e.g., Gunpowder, Pan-fired, Young Hysson, Bancha, etc. Since green tea, unlike black and oolong tea, is not fermented, the active constituents remain unaltered in the herb. Green tea is bioflavonoid-rich, proven useful for fighting free radical damage in the human body. It has a high content of polyphenols, which are a class of bioflavonoids. Green tea's best studied polyphenol is Epigallocatechin Gallate. Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), protects against digestive and respiratory infections. A solution of 1 mcg per ml of EGCG heavily inhibited influenza virus in vitro. Green tea is beneficial in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease as it exerts antioxidant activity, lowers cholesterol and reduces platelet aggregation (stickiness). Green tea extract is very good for the arteries and heart. Additional studies have demonstrated enhanced liver function and immune system function secondary to these polyphenols. EGCG helps block the cancer-promoting actions of carcinogens, ultraviolet light, and metastasis from an original site in the skin, stomach, small intestine, liver or lung.

Bitter Melon Fruit (Momordica charantia; Ku Gua Gan) Powdered: 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 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. Thesetake an extra week to deliver.

Lobelia Fluid Extract (Lobelia inflata) 2 fl oz: K
Nature's Herbs Wild Countryside Extract of lobelia is a 100% pure, concentrated herbal extract of the finest lobelia herb harvested from its natural wild environment in North America. It is then extracted by a natural cold-process and suspended in pure apple cider vinegar of the finest quality. Lobelia is also known as Indian tobacco. It was used ceremonially, sacramentally and medically by many Native American tribes. It is a powerful physical relaxant, and thus useful for hacking coughs and hysteria. Eclectic physicians generally recommended using a tincture of lobelia made partially or entirely with vinegar instead of alcohol. It was also used as a tea or strong boiled decoction. In small doses Lobelia acts as a stimulant and in larger doses it act as a nerve depressant. Contains the potent alkaloid lobeline which is used in anti-smoking lozenges. Large doeses of lobelia are nauseating. Grieve’s classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Expectorant, diaphoretic, anti-asthmatic. It should not be employed as anemetic. Some authorities attach great value to it as an expectorant in bronchitis, others as a valuable counterirritant when combined with other ingredients in ointment form. It is sometimes given in convulsive and inflammatory disorders such as epilepsy, tetanus, diphtheria and tonsilitis. There is also difference of opinion with regard to its narcotic properties. Where relaxation of the system is required, as, for instance, to subdue spasm, Lobelia is invaluable. Relaxation can be counteracted by the stimulating and tonic infusion of capsicum. It may be used as an enema.' 'Externally, an infusion has been found useful in ophthalmia, and the tincture can be used as a local application for sprains, bruises, or skin diseases, alone, or in powder combined with an equal part of slippery elm bark and weak lye-water in a poultice. The oil of Lobelia is valuable in tetanus. One drop of oil triturated with one scruple of sugar, and divided into from 6 to 12 doses, is useful as an expectorant, nauseant, sedative, and diaphoretic, when given every one or two hours.' Preparations and Dosages: Powdered bark, 5 to 60 grains. Fluid extract, 10 to 20 drops. Acid tincture, 1 to 4 drachms. Tincture, U.S.P., 1 to 4 drachms. Etherial tincture, B.P., 5 to 15 drops. Syrup, 1 to 4 drachms. Solid extract, 2 to 4 grains. Oil of seed, 1 drop rubbed up with 20 grains of ginger and divided into 6 to 12 doses. Lobelin, ¼ to 3 grains. King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Lobelia is nauseant, emetic, expectorant, relaxant, antispasmodic, diaphoretic, sialagogue, sedative, and, secondarily, occasionally cathartic and diuretic and astringent. It is in no sense a narcotic. The earliest use of lobelia, as will be seen from its history, was that of an emetic, and for this purpose it is still employed when we desire the action of a systemic emetic.' 'The powerfully relaxant properties of lobelia render it a very efficient agent in several conditions, whose chief feature is the spas Manufacturer: Nature's Herbs SKU: 31688 Category: Capsules, Extracts, A-H-Herb Capsules

Licorice Root Extract (Glycyrrhiza glabra) 1 fl oz: K
Alcohol Free Fluid Extract A Vitalizing Herbal Tonic Famous for its pungent, sweet flavor, licorice is essential in innumerable candy, confection, beverage and sauce recipes, and makes an estimable liqueur. Licorice is also a traditional herbal remedy. The sweet saponin glycyrrhizin occurs in the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra, the original European source, and in Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Chinese licorice. Authorities treat the two as chemically and medicinally identical. As Grieve puts it, 'The Liquorice of medicine and commerce is derived from the sweet root of various species of Glycyrrhiza, a genus which contains about fourteen species, natives of warmer temperate countries in both the New and Old Worlds...' The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) 'For catarrhs of the upper respiratory tract and gastric/duodenal ulcers.' 'Side Effects: On prolonged use and with higher doses, mineralocorticoid effects may occur in the form of sodium and water retention and potassium loss, accompanied by hypertension, edema, and hypokalemia, and, in rare cases, myoglobinuria.' 'Average daily dosage: About 5 - 15 g of root, equivalent to 200 - 600 mg of glycyrrhizin; As Succus liquiritiae: 0.5 - 1 g for catarrhs of the upper respiratory tract, 1.5 - 3 g for gastric/duodenal ulcers; equivalent preparations.' 'Mode of Administration: Powdered root, finely cut root ordry extracts for infusions, decoctions, liquid or solid dosage forms for internal use (Succus liquiritiae). Duration of Administration: Not longer than 4 - 6 weeks without medical advice. There is no objection to using licorice root as a flavoring agent up to a maximum daily dosage equivalent to 100 mg glycyrrhizin.' 'Actions: According to controlled clinical studies, glycyrrhizic acid and the aglycone of glycyrrhizic acid accelerate the healing of gastric ulcers. Secretolytic and expectorant effects have been confirmed in tests on rabbits. In the isolated rabbit ileum, an antispasmodic action has been observed at concentrations of 1:2500 - 1:5000.' Although the Commission E lists severe liver disease as a contraindication, less severe liver disease can be helped by the use of licorice. Hepatoprotective licorice tea is widely used as a liver tonic in Japan. Licorice's triterpene glycyrrhizin has been shown to prevent liver injury from such agents as carbon tetrachloride, benzene hexachloride and PCB. Glycyrrhizin aids antibody production and inhibits the growth of several DNA and RNA viruses, irreversibly inactivating the Herpes simplex virus.

Forsythia Fruit (Forsythia suspensa; Lian Qiao) 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 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 out for quality control testing inthird-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 SKU: 15321 Category: Chinese Herbs-Extracts
