Ginger Root Extract (Zingiber officinale; Gan Jiang) 1 fl oz: K
Alcohol Free Fluid Extract (1:1) Promotes Healthy Circulation & Digestion Dried ginger is a traditional pungent spice used worldwide to flavor breads, sauces, curry dishes, confections, pickles, and ginger ale. Ginger is used medically to help expel gas from the intestines and treat nausea from morning sickness, upset stomach, seasickness, and motion sickness. It is also used to help reduce fevers and lessen the symptoms of colds. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Ginger root for 'Dyspepsia, prevention of motion sickness.' 'Contraindications: With gallstones, only to be used after consultation with a physician.' 'Daily dosage: 2 - 4 g rhizome; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Chopped or comminuted rhizome and dry extracts for teas, other galenical preparations for internal use.' 'Actions: Antiemetic; Positively inotropic; Promoting secretion of saliva and gastric juices; Cholagogue. In animals: antispasmodic. In humans: increase in tonus and peristalsis in intestines.' Ginger's ability to prevent vomiting has been verified by clinical trial, and it has been shown to stimulate the intestines and promote production of saliva, digestive juices, and fat-processing bile. It also tends to boost the pumping action of the heart. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Stimulant, carminative, given in dyspepsia and flatulent colic excellent to add to bitter infusions; specially valuable in alcoholic gastritis; of use for diarrhoea from relaxed bowel where there is no inflammation.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Ginger is stimulant, rubefacient, errhine, and sialagogue. When chewed it occasions an increased flow of saliva, andwhen swallowed it acts as a stimulating tonic, stomachic, and carminative, increasing the secretion of gastric juice, exalting the excitability of the alimentary muscular system, and dispelling gases accumulated in the stomach and bowels.' 'It is eminently useful in habitual flatulency, atonic dyspepsia, hysteria, and enfeebled and relaxed habits, especially of old and gouty individuals; and is excellent to relieve nausea, pains and cramps of the stomach and bowels, and to obviate tenesmus, and especially when those conditions are due to colds, or to the ingestion of unripe or otherwise unwholesome fruit. American Materia Medica, 1919 (Ellingwood): 'The agent stimulates the stomach actively, producing, a pleasing sense of warmth. It overcomes flatulence and quickly relieves flatulent colic. In atonic conditions of the stomach and intestinal tract, it stimulates the structure to renewed activity and materially assists in the restoration of normal tone. It relieves pain from any cause except inflammatory action, when this remedy must be avoided.' Manufacturer: Nature's Answer

Mango Ceylon Blended Black Tea Cert Organic 1 lb: C
This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. This most favored tea is light, sweet & fragrant. Mango & marigold blossoms are blended with superior Ceylon tea leavesto produce an uplifting cup. Great over ice. All Sri Lanka’s black teas are best drunk with a little milk. 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. Flavour is produced by volatile oils, and astringency and colour by tannin. Teas are classified according to region of origin, as in China, Ceylon, Japanese, Indonesian, and African tea, or by smaller district, as in Darjeeling, Assam, and Nilgris from India, Uva and Dimbula from Sri Lanka, Keemun from Chi-men in China's Anhwei Province, and Enshu from Japan. Teas are also classified by the size of the processed leaf. Traditional operations result in larger 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. Manufacturer: Starwest Botanicals

Mullein Leaf Extract (Verbascum thapsus) 2 fl oz: HH
Mullein makes a sweet, non-biting, mildly sedative smoke, and is recommended by Grieve in that form, as well as a tea or strong decoction. It is also used as an extract, tincture and lotion. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Mullein flower for 'Catarrhs of the respiratory tract.' 'Daily dosage: 3 - 4 g of herb; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Comminuted herb for teas and other galenical preparations for internal use.' 'Actions: Alleviating irritation; Expectorant.' Mullein is a good anti-inflammatory and demulcent respiratory remedy, very kind to the mucous membranes of the respiratory system, reducing inflammation while stimulating fluid production and thus facilitating expectoration. Externally an extract made in olive oil is excellent in soothing and healing any inflamed surface or easing ear problems. Mullein contains about 3% mucilage and small amounts of saponins and tannins. The mucilaginous constituents are primarily responsible for the soothing actions on mucous membranes. The saponins may be responsible for the expectorant actions of mullein. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'The Mullein has very markedly demulcent, emollient and astringent properties, which render it useful in pectoral complaints. The whole plant seems to possess slightly sedative and narcotic properties.' 'The dried leaves are sometimes smoked in an ordinary tobacco pipe to relieve the irritation of the respiratory mucus membranes, and will completely control, it is said, the hacking cough of consumption. Mullein is said to be of much value in diarrhoea, from its combination of demulcent with astringent properties, by this combination strengthening the bowels at the same time.' 'In diarrhoea the ordinary infusion is generally given, but when any bleeding of the bowels is present, the decoction prepared with milk is recommended. On the Continent, a sweetened infusion of the flowers strained in order to separate the rough hairs, is considerably used as a domestic remedy in mild catarrhs, colic, etc.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Mullein is demulcent, diuretic, anodyne, and antispasmodic. It is likewise said to possess marked antiperiodic virtues. Besides, it is mildly nervine, controlling irritation, and favoring sleep. Upon the upper portion of the respiratory tract its influence is pronounced, particularly where the larynx and trachea are involved.' 'The infusion is useful in coughs, protracted colds, catarrh,hemoptysis, diarrhoea, dysentery, and piles. It is applicable to dry, hoarse coughs, which occur chiefly at night, as well as to cough associated with an abundant catarrhal discharge.' 'Its diuretic properties are rather weak, yet it is very useful in allaying the acridity of urine, which is present in many diseases.' 'It may be boiled in milk, sweetened, and rendered more palatable by the addition of aromatics, for internal use, especially bowel Manufacturer: Health and Herbs

Green Phyto Base Multiple Vitamins & Minerals Supplement Powder 15.9 oz (30-Day Supply): K
The ALL ONE Green Phyto Base begins with 2 grams of the concentrated juice of organic cereal grasses: green kamut (wheat grass), barley, alfalfa, oats, plus green cabbage, kale, parsley and mustard greens - all grown specially in fertaile, unpolluted soil. These plants of the earth are combined with dulse and other sea vegetables. Powerful micro-algae, chlorella and spirulina also contribute to this phyto nutritional base. Combined with ALL ONE's range of potent macronutrients, this unsurpassed nutritional combination will help start the day right. Eliminates the need for a seperate ''green'' supplement High Potency antioxidants: A, C & E + selenium and bioflavanoids Iron Free/Dairy Free and it's Vegan The powerful antioxidant activity of the green phyto nutrients may be beneficial in the following ways: Stimulate the release of protective enzyme(s) that rebuild damaged cells Protect against carcinogens Help the heart and circulatory system Boost immunity, detoxify Our ALL ONE Green Phyto Mix not only provides the most recognized ''SUPERSTARS'' of cruciferous vegetables like cabbage, kale and parsley, but also the cutting edge cereal grass family. Beginning with an ancient non-hybrid Egyptian plant called Kamut grass that is possibly the most nutritious deep green leafy vegetable on earth. We also add Barley Green Juice, (known as the highest in SOD), Wild Oat Leaves (for lipids and essential fatty acids) and mature Alfalfa Leaves (for trace minerals). The alfalfa roots reach up to fifty feet into the soil to pull trace minerals from deep within the earth. Seed selection and growing techniques are integral when creating and evaluating the desirable qualities in plants. Our manufacturer has spared no effort or expense in these crucial aspects of production. Each plant is from specially selected heirloom organic seeds. These seeds typically cost nearly three times what common seed stock costs and are clearly nutritionally superior. These crops are cultivated under the direction of the strictest organic certifying body, the O.C.I.A. This is the only internationally accepted certifier. While many organic farmers use transitional fields, waters from a municipal source and take multiple harvest from each acre, our green mix is grown in pure virgin soil watered with pure mineral spring water and only a single annual harvest is taken from each acre. This guarantees maximum nutritional potency. While seed selection and growing techniques are very important, the growing environment chosen makes its natural qualities reach maximum potential. In fact, environmental influences impart significant qualities into these plants. Below isa description of the growing environment and the quality it imparts. The ingredients are grown on a specially selected, dried, ancient volcanic lakebed in Utah, nestled in a valley at 6,000 feet elevation.

Honeybush Tea Cut & Sifted Cert. Organic (Cyclopia intermedia) 1 lb: C
This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Delicious honey-fragrant Honeybush tea (Cyclopia intermedia) wild-harvested in the mountains of the Eastern Cape in South Africa. Honeybush tea tastes like honey without the sweetness. Honeybush tea, used as an infusion or thick decoction, has very low tannin content and contains no caffeine. It is therefore especially valuable for children and patients with digestive and heart problems where stimulants and tannins should be avoided. Honeybush tea is normally consumed with milk and sugar, but to appreciate the delicate sweet taste and flavour, no milk or sugar should be added. Descriptions of the flavour vary from that of hot apricot jam, floral, honey-like and dried fruit mix with the overall impression of sweetness. The tea has the added advantage that the cold infusion can also be used as iced tea andthat it blends well with fruit juices. Honeybush tea is prepared by boiling about 4-6 g of the dried material (approximately 2-3 tablespoonfuls) per liter for 20 minutes. There are currently two distinct methods used for honeybush tea fermentation, fermentation in a curing heap and fermentation at elevated temperatures in a preheated ''baking-oven''. Research by the Department of Chemistry of the University of the Orange Free State indicated those substantial amounts of (+)-pinitol is present in Honeybush tea. Pinitol is used as an expectorant and also has anti-diabetic activity. Honeybush tea processes numerous properties that enhance the health of people that use it: Isoflavones & Coumestans The dietary phyto-estrogen-hormone-dependant process. This is advantageous for: Regulation of menstruation cycles Prevention of breast, prostate and Uterus cancer Reduces the risk of Oesteoporosis Anti-fungal properties Anti-virus properties Anticholesterolemic-lowers cholesterol levels Hypolipemic-lowers fat levels Anti-microbial Anti-oxidant Specific Luteolin is anti-spasmodic and anti-oxidant. 4-Hydroxycinnomic acid is anti-fungus and Antihepatotoxic. Xanthones Anti-inflammatory Anti-hepatotoxic – works against kidney poisoning Anti-virus Anti-diarrhea Anti-fungus Anti-oxidants Anti-depressant Flavones Vitamin-type activity (mixture of eriodictyol and hesperidien) Anti-oxidants Anti-microbial Anti-virus Anti-inflammatory Spasmolytic Diuretic (increases Urinating) Non-feeding sweeteners Research on Honeybush tea has only started recently in the 90’s and already great progress was made on testing and researching the medicinal values of this tea. De Nysschen et al found 1995 three major phenolic compounds in honeybush tealeaves: a xanthone c-glycoside, mangiferin and O-glycosides of hesperitin and isosakuranetin, two flavanones.

Licorice Root Extract 1 fl oz: K
About 30-40 dropperfuls per bottle. 30-40 drops per dropperful. Gaia Herb Farm receives Annual Organic Certification. Oregon Tilth has certified Gaia Farms as an Organic Grower of more than 50 medicinal plants. Gaia Herbs Analytical Laboratory analyzes every batch of every product to ensure quality, product consistency, and activity with state of the art instruments. Gaia has become a leader in herbal product analysis, headed up by Dr. Xiping Wang, Chief Scientist and Natural products Chemist. Herbal extracts are a highly effective way to administer herbs. They are very concentrated, they work faster than teas and are four to eight times stronger than capsules. Extracts are easily digestible and quickly assimilated into the system. 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 or dry 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 atconcentrations 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 Manufacturer: Gaia Herbs

Starwest encapsulates only superior quality herb powder and strives to consistently capture and maintain the purest and highest quality botanicals and their natural benefits. Whole or ground fenugreek (foenum-graecum is Latin for 'Greek hay') is traditional in Mediterranean and Indian cooking, found in most Indian curries and chutneys. A favourite Indian dish is 'methi aloo' or pan-fried potatoes flavoured with fenugreek. It is also a basic Indian pickling spice. Fenugreek is also sprouted and used in salads, providing an excellent source of Vitamin E. Fenugreek's steroidal saponins account for many of its beneficial effects, particularly the inhibition of cholesterol absorption and synthesis. The seeds are rich in dietary fiber, which may be the main reason they can lower blood sugar and cholersterol levels. This remarkable property has been confirmed in more than one modern study. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Fenugreek seed for 'Internal: Loss of appetite. External: As poultice for local inflammation.' 'Side Effects: Repeated external applications can result in undesirable skin reactions. 'Dosage: Internal: 6 g drug; equivalent preparations. External: 50 g powdered drug with ¼ liter water. Mode of Administration: Liniments in the form of alcoholic solutions, ointments, gels, emulsions, oils. Also bath additive and as an inhalant.'

Frankincense Essential Oil 1/3 oz: K
Various species of frankincense trees grow wild throughout Western India, Northeastern Africa and Southern Saudi Arabia. The oil is distilled from the gum resin that oozes from incisions made in the bark of the trees. The oil is spicy, balsamic, green-lemon-like and peppery. It modifies the sweetness of citrus oils such as orange and bergamot. It is also the base for incense type perfumes and is important in Oriental, floral, spice and masculine scents. Aromatherapy benefits: calming, visualizing, meditative. Essential, absolute and resin oils are volatile, fragrant materials extracted from the root, bark, wood, seed, fruit, leaf or flower of a single plant. The plants used to produce these oils are grown on certified organic fields and are third-party certified by Quality Assurance International; no synthetic chemicals are used in growing or processing them. Steam distillation and cold pressing are used to extract the essential oil from the plant. Essential oils and absolutes are very potent and should always be used sparingly and in conjunction with a reliable reference. 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.

'Externally, it is employed as a poultice for inflammatory swellings.' Preparation: Fluid extract. Dose, ½ to 1 drachm.' Borage oil is refined from the seeds, not the leaves.

Fu Ling - Spirit (Poria cocos; Poria; Hoelen Fungus) 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 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.

Lavender Aromatherapy Mist 4 fl oz: K
100% pure essential oils and mountain spring water. Relaxes the body. Quiets the mind. Calms the spirit. Indulge in our quintessential lavender relaxation aroma. Mist yourself and your bedroom at nighttime to create a soothing, relaxing environment. Purified spring water, lavandula angustifolia (lavender) oil, lavandula x intermedia (lavandin) oil, lavandula latifolia (spike lavender) oil. Lavender oil is used in baths, room sprays, toilet waters, perfumes, colognes, massage oils, sachets, salves, skin lotions and oils. It has a sweet, balsamic, floral aroma which combines well with many oils including citrus, clove, patchouli, rosemary, clary sage and pine. Aromatherapy benefits: balancing, soothing, normalizing, calming, relaxing, healing. Some traditional uses: balancing emotions, relieving stress, tension and headache, to promote restful sleep, heal the skin, to lower high blood pressure, help breathing, for disinfecting. Although lavender is considered one of the safest essential oils, you should discontinue use if you have any allergic reactions. The therapeutic properties of Lavender oil include: Antiseptic, analgesic, anti-convulsant, anti-depressant, anti-rheumatic, anti-toxic, anti-spasmodic, anti-inflammatory, emmenagogue, anti-toxic, carminative, deodorant, diuretic, nervine, restorative, sedative, insecticide and tonic. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Lavender flower for 'Internal: Mood disturbances such as restlessness or insomnia, functional abdominal complaints (nervous stomach irritations, Roehmheld syndrome, meteorism, nervous intestinal discomfort). For balneotherapy [Bath]: Treatment of functional circulatory disorders.' As Grieve puts it, of Lavender's household uses, 'Dried Lavender flowers are still greatly used to perfume linen, their powerful, aromatic odour acting also as a preventative to the attacks of moths and other insects. In America, they find very considerable employment for disinfecting hotrooms and keeping away flies and mosquitoes, who do not like the scent. Oil of Lavender, on cotton-wool, tied in a little bag or in a perforated ball hung in the room, is said to keep it free from all flies.' 'Not only are insects averse to the smell of Lavender, so that oil of Lavender rubbed on the skin will prevent midge and mosquito bites, but it is saidon good authority that the lions and tigers in our Zoological Gardens are powerfully affected by the scent of Lavender Water, and will become docile under its influence.' Lavender is an effective herb for headaches, especially when they are related to stress. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Lavender was used in earlier days as a condiment and for flavouring dishes 'to comfort the stomach.' Gerard speaks of Conserves of Lavender being served at table.' 'It has aromatic, carminative and nervine properties.

Pyrrosia Leaf (Pyrrosia Lingua; Japanese Felt Fern; Shi Wei) 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.

House Blend Ground Fair Trade Cert Organic 10 oz: K
Fresh ground beans ready for brewing, not whole. This cornerstone of our Fair Trade organic line - a satisfying blend of medium and dark roasts. Deep, rich and full-bodied. At Green Mountain Coffee, we are dedicated to providing the richest aroma and flavor, for the highest quality coffee experience. We travel the globe to purchase the finest coffees, batch roast them to peak flavor, and vacuum package them fresh for your enjoyment. We take our time. . . and taking our time has its own reward. . . perfect coffee. In 1981, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters hung its shingle on the front of a small café in Waitsfield, Vermont. This café roasted coffee on the premises and formed the base of operations for what was to become one of the nation's leading specialty coffee companies. Fair Trade & Organic Coffees Our Organic and Fair Trade beans are selected for their exquisite flavor and for the care and attention given to the fragile, mountainous places where they are born. Fair Trade [certified by TransFairUSA] has established price guarantees which ensure that the small-scale farmers who grow and process these beans receive a fair price for their efforts. This enables farmers to care for themselves, their families, and their communities while reinvesting in the care and qualityof their coffee. With the exception of Rain Forest Nut, our Fair Trade coffees are organic [certified by QAI], and cultivated with natural gardening techniques like composting, and terracing. They are grown entirely without pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers. They are also almost always ''shade grown''—interspersed with other plants—to preserve vanishing wildlife habitat and discourage erosion. Coffee FAQ's: Coffee Grinding and Storage Q. Is it better to keep coffee in bean form and grind it before consumption, or is it better to buy coffee in the ground form and keep it in a sealed container? A. Buying whole bean coffee and grinding it just before using it will keep it fresh longer than ground coffee because you are exposing less of the surface of the bean to the elements. You should store both whole bean and ground coffee in an airtight container. Q. What are the best ways to grind coffee beans? A. There are many excellent types of grinders on the market ranging from manual to electric. One of the least expensive and most common is the electric blade grinder. Measure beans into the top, put the cover on and grind by time; 10 to15 seconds for coarse or perc, 15 to 20 for drip, 20 to 25 for autodrip, and 25 to 30 or more for fine or espresso grind. Blade grinders do have some drawbacks, specifically the grind is not as consistent, and the blade tends to heat or ''cook'' the beans a bit. Next is the electric burr type grinder. Dial in the grind size, measure beans into a hopper and turn the grinder on. Two scribed discs literally crush the beans in a manner similar to the way wheat is ground in a flour mill. Manual grinders are also great because y Manufacturer: Green Mountain Coffee

Jojoba Oil 16 oz: K
Most essential oils are so strong that a little goes a long way. Essential oils should be diluted in carrier oils for use in massage. Avoid using mineral oils and baby oils for massage. 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 forall 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. Our body care oils are usually used in conjunction with our essential oils. Vegetable oils are produced from nuts, seeds, grains and beans. They are sometimes referred to as fixed oils because they are not as volatile (easily evaporate) as essential oils. Vegetable Oils make an excellent base in which to dilute essential oils for body care products. Our vegetable oils are 100% pure and natural. Our cosmetic oils (such as Lanolin or Shea Butter) work well as carriers for essential oils and moisturizers. Manufacturer: Aura Cacia

Blue Lotus of the Nile (Nymphaea caerulea): 15 gm: M
Egyptian Blue Lotus is a sedative and aphrodisiac, rich in active resins. Organically grown and processed - pure dried leaf and flowers and nothing else. Makes a great smoke. Represented in ancient Egyptian art. The blue lotus was found scattered over Tutankhamen's body when the Pharaoh's tomb was opened in 1922. Many historians thought it was a purely symbolic flower, but there may be some reason to believe that ancient Egyptians used it to induce relaxation and an ecstatic state. When prepared as a tea the flowers produce a thick, gold/clear liquid that reminds one of melted amber. The liquid is ever-so-slightly sweet and upon being consumed creates a warm, euphoric glow. The dried leaves can be smoked by themselves or blended with other herbs to add flavor and an euphoric effect to your favorite smoking mixture. There is some indication that the effects of Blue Lotus may be enhanced if soaked in wine (which is thought to be the original Egyptian method of use) or other alcohol. Blue lotus was used in ancient Egypt as a key to good health, sex, and as a symbol of rebirth. It is an aphrodisiac for both men and women as well as a general remedy and tonic. In 2000 at Dr. Vic Garner's laboratory for forensic analysis in Manchester, England, the Egyptian mummy Asru, chantress at the temple of Amun at Karnak ca. 1000 B.C., became the first mummy to undergo mass spectroscopy. She had no narcotics or painkillers in her. They found phytosterols, bioflavonoids, and phosphodiesterase, the active ingredient of some modern brand name sexual function enhancers, all from blue lotus. http://www.archaeology.org/online/reviews/secrets/index3.html: Secrets of the Pharaohs: Unwrapping the Mummy by Anglea M.H. Schuster (PBS) What, if anything, did Asru do to alleviate her pain? Did she take drugs for it or simply bear it in silence? If narcotics were used, traces of them should be found in her hair. There is a slight problem, however. As a chantress, Asru was shaved to maintain ritual purity, making it difficult for researchers to find enough hair to conduct toxicological analyses. Several hairs were recovered from her scalp, which revealed only henna, usedto give her head and remaining hair a red color; other body hair revealed only traces of plant remains. Could plants have been ingested, sniffed, or otherwise used to relieve pain? The question sends researchers Vic Garner and Dave Counsell on a quest to analyze the plants most widely used by the ancient Egyptians, including the blue lotus, which is shown in many tomb paintings being added to wine. Our team consults botanists at the British botanical garden at Kew, where they collect blue lotus samples both ancient, from the tomb of Rameses II and from the Greco-Roman cemetery at Hawara, and modern, growing in the garden's waterlily pond. After much analysis, it is determined that the blue lotus possesses the same properties as Ginkgo biloba, being an antioxidant and bloodflow stimulant. While th Manufacturer: Kalyx.com

Vitex Berry Extract (Vitex agnus castus; Nirgundi) 1 fl oz: K
Alcohol Free Fluid Extract Supports Female Hormonal Balance Fluid extracts are a highly effective way to administer herbs. They are very concentrated, they workfaster than teas and are four to eight times stronger than capsules. Extracts are easily digestible and quickly assimilated into the system. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Chaste tree fruit for 'Irregularities of the menstrual cycle. Premenstrual complaints. Mastodynia [breast pain].' 'Daily dosage: aqueous-alcoholic extracts corresponding to 30 - 40 mg of the drug. Mode of Administration: Aqueous-alcoholic extracts (50 - 70 percent v/v) from the crushed fruits taken as liquid or dry extract.' Chaste tree fruit contains iridoid glycosides, flavonoids, and terpenoids. Clinical trials have shown significant reduction of the whole range of PMS symptoms resulting from prolonged use of Chaste tree berry extract, from irritability and headaches to cramping and breast pain. Other trials have shown genuine effectiveness for women suffering from infertility and irregular periods. Grieve's calssic 'A Modern Herbal': '...the berries somewhat like peppercorns, dark purple, halfcovered by their sage-green calyxes, yellowish within, hard, having an aromatic odour; taste warm, peculiar. The seeds were once held in repute for securing chastity, and the Athenian matrons in the sacred rites of Ceres used to string their couches with the leaves.' 'The fresh ripe berries are pounded to a pulp and used in the form of a tincture for the relief of paralysis, pains in the limbs, weakness, etc.' Chaste Tree Berries are ancient in European tradition for hemorrhage following childbirth and menstrual regulation, discussed at length by Hippocrates, Dioscorides and Theophrastus. Contemporary research supports these ancient physicians, showing that the whole fruit is medicinally active. Vitex causes the pituitary gland to produce luteinizing hormone. This increases progesterone production and helps regulate a woman's cycle, re-establishing the normal balance between estrogen and progesterone. The underproduction of progesterone can cause PMS and other related problems. This glandular balancing can be profoundly helpful during menopause. Vitex also keeps prolactin secretion in check. The ability to decrease mildly elevated prolactin levels may benefit some infertile women as well as some women with premenstrual syndrome. A double-blind study, confirming other studies, showed Vitex to be more effective than vitamin B6 in controlling PMS symptoms. This is not a fast acting remedy, and will not give immediate symptomatic relief. It is safe to use over long periods. http://www.herbmed.org/Herbs/Herb135.htm: Clinical Trials Women with fertility disorders benefited from V. agnus-castus obtaining more pregnancies then the placebo group Gerhard 1998 1.8 ml/d (60 drops) Vitex extract for 3 months to 48 women reduced menstrua Manufacturer: Nature's Answer

Oregon Tilth has certified Gaia Farms as an Organic Grower of more than 50 medicinal plants. Gaia Herbs Analytical Laboratory analyzes every batch of every product to ensure quality, product consistency, and activity with state of the art instruments. Gaia has become a leader in herbal product analysis, headed up by Dr. Xiping Wang, Chief Scientist and Natural products Chemist. Herbal extracts are a highly effective way to administer herbs. They are very concentrated, they workfaster than teas and are four to eight times stronger than capsules. Extracts are easily digestible and quickly assimilated into the system. Used as an infusion, decoction, extract and tincture. Used by Native Americans, this plant is an effective sedative and antispasmodic. Modern studies have confirmed this ancient tradition. Scutellarian, a major constituent, has been clinically shown to have mild sedative and antispasmodic actions. As an effective sedative and antispamodic, scullcap, or scutellarian, is used in formulas for hysteria, seizures, asthma, menstrual cramping, epilepsy, insomnia, pain, vertigo and addiction recovery. Grieve’s classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Scullcap has strong tonic, nervine and antispasmodic action, and is slightly astringent.' 'In hysteria, convulsions, hydrophobia, St. Vitus's dance and rickets, its action is invaluable. In nervous headaches, neuralgia and in headache arising from incessant coughing and pain, it offers one of the most suitable and reliable remedies. The dried extract, given in doses of from 1 to 3 grains as a pill, will relieve severe hiccough.' 'It is considered a specific for the convulsive twitchings of St. Vitus's dance, soothing the nervous excitement and inducing sleep when necessary, without any unpleasant symptoms following.' 'Fluid extract, ½ to 1 drachm.' 'It may be prescribed in all disorders of the nervous system, and has been suggested as a remedy for epilepsy. Writing on this point in the British Medical Journal, 1915, Dr. William Bramwell says: 'Its efficacy appears to be partly due to its stimulating the kidneys to increased activity....' 'The usual dose is an infusion of 1 oz. of the powdered herb to a pint of boiling water, given in half-teacupful doses, every few hours. Both fluid and solid extracts are prepared and Scutellarin is also administered in doses of 1 to 2 grains.' 'Fluid extract, ½ to 1 drachm.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Scullcap is tonic, nervine, and antispasmodic. This is one of those valuable agents which a certain class of physicians consider inert; yet it has proved especially useful in chorea, convulsions, tremors, intermittent fever, neuralgia, and many nervous affections.'

Pepper Black Fine Grind Cert. Organic (Piper nigrum; Hu Jiao) 2.5 oz: K
All Frontier Bottled Spices are freshness dated, non-irradiated, safety sealed and feature a convenient shaker top for easy use. Throughout medieval Europe, pepper was commonly traded, ounce for ounce, for gold. This irreplaceable spice has long been recognized as an ingredient for stimulating the appetite. Peppercorns can be, depending on their processing, either black, white, green and red. That is, the same plant produces all four types, depending on the time of harvest and the method of processing. 'Black pepper' is harvested nearly ripe and dried at a moderate temprature. 'White pepper' is harvested fully ripe, so that the outer hull can be easily removed, usually by soaking. This produces an equallystrong, but less flavorful pepper. 'Green pepper' is harvested unripe, and then either pickled in salt or vinegar, or quick-dried. This produces a less pungent, more herbal flavor. 'Red pepper' is harvested ripe, and then pickled in salt or vinegar. This produces a very pungent, aromatic and tasty pepper that, since the pickling stopped the natural fermentation, still retains some of the more herbal flavor of the green variety. This is probably the most widely used spice in the world. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Aromatic, stimulant, carminative; is said to possess febrifuge properties.... As a gargle it is valued for relaxed uvula, paralysis of the tongue. On account of its stimulant action it aids digestion and is specially useful in atonic dyspepsia and torbid condition of the stomach. It will correct flatulence and nausea. It has also been used in vertigo, paralytic and arthritic disorders. It is sometimes added to quinine when the stomach will not respond to quinine alone. It has also been advised in diarrhoea, cholera, scarlatina, and in solution for a wash for tinea capititis. Piperine should not be combined with astringents, as it renders them inert.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Black pepper is a gastro-intestinal stimulant, and is much used as a condiment to improve the flavor of food, and to favor its digestion by stimulating the stomach. It has been advantageously used as a carminative to remove flatulency, and to correct the nauseating or griping quality of other drugs, and is sometimes added to quinine in cases where the stomach, from torpidity or other cause, is not acted upon by the quinine alone. 'As a gastric stimulant it is very valuable in congestive chill, cholera morbus, and associated with hydrastis, nux vomica, or other stomachic bitters is effectual in atonic dyspepsia. Combined with macrotys it has rendered good service in atonic amenorrhoea and dysmenorrhoea.' Manufacturer: Frontier Natural Brands Spices

Comfrey Root C/S (Symphytum officinale) 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, tincture and poultice. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Comfrey herb for 'External: Bruises, sprains. Note: Application should only occur on intact skin. During pregnancy use only after consultation with a physician.' 'Dosage: Ointments and other preparations for external application with 5 - 20 percent dried drug; equivalent preparations. The daily applied dosage should not exceed 100 µg (mcg) of pyrrolizidine alkaloids with 1,2-unsaturated necine structure, including their N-oxides. Mode of Administration: Comminuted herb and other galenical preparations for external use. Duration of Administration: Not more than 4 - 6 weeks per year. Action: Antiinflammatory.' Comfrey has an ancient reputation as a wound-healer. Comfrey abounds in the healing agents mucilage and allantoin. A water extract of comfrey has been shown to stimulate production of protective substances known as prostaglandins in the stomachs of experimental animals, thus confirming comfrey’s ancient reputation. These same constituents make it useful for bronchitis and diarrhea. Note that, unlike the old herbalists, the Commission E recommends external Comfrey use only. The FDA warns of the potential for liver damage: 'The pyrrolizidine alkaloids that are present in comfrey, in addition to being potent hepatotoxins, have also been shown to be toxic to other tissues as well. There is also evidence that implicates these substances as carcinogens. Taken together, the clear evidence of an association between oral exposure to pyrrolizidine alkaloids and serious adverse health effects and the lack of any valid scientific data that would enable the agency to determine whether there is an exposure, if any, that would present no harm to consumers, indicates that this substance should not be used as an ingredient in dietary supplements.' Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'As theplant abounds in mucilage, it is frequently given whenever a mucilaginous medicine is required and has been used like Marshmallow for intestinal troubles. It is very similar in its emollient action to Marshmallow, but in many cases is even preferred to it and is an ingredient in a large number of herbal preparations. It forms a gentle remedy in cases of diarrhoea and dysentery.' 'A decoction is made by boiling ½ to 1 oz. of crushed root in 1 quart of water or milk, which is taken in wineglassful doses, frequently.

Shepherds Purse Herb C/S (Capsella bursa-pastoris) 1 lb: C
This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Used as an infusion, decoction, extract, tincture, ointment and poultice. Also traditionally eaten as a cooked green. The leaves are very high in thiamin (B1), choline, inositol, and fumaric acid. They are a good source of ascorbic acid (C), riboflavin (B2), calcium, potassium, and phosphorus. They also provide beta carotene (A), vitamin K, niacin, iron, and rutin. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Shepherd's Purse Herb for 'Internal: Symptomatic treatment of mild menorrhagia and metrorrhagia, topical application for nose bleeds. External: Superficial, bleeding skin injuries.' 'Average daily dosage: 10 - 15 g of drug; equivalent preparations. Topical use: 3 - 5 g of herb per ¾ cup of water as tea. Fluidextract (according to Erg. B. 6): Daily dosage: 5 - 8 g. Mode of Administration: Comminuted drug for tea and other galenical preparations for internal use and external application.' Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Shepherd's Purse is so called from the resemblance of the flat seed-pouches of the plant to an old-fashioned common leather purse. It is similarly called in France Bourse de pasteur, and in Germany Hirtentasche.' 'In modern herbal medicine the whole plant is employed, dried and administered in infusion, and in fluid extract.' 'A homoeopathic tincture is prepared from the fresh plant.' 'When dried and infused, it yields a tea which is still considered by herbalists one of the best specifics for stopping haemorrhages of all kinds - of the stomach, the lungs, or the uterus, and more especially bleeding from the kidneys.' 'Its haemostyptic properties have long been known and are said to equal those of ergot and hydrastis. During theGreat War, when these were no longer obtainable in German commerce, a liquid extract of Capsella bursapastoris was used as a substitute, the liquidextract being made by exhausting the drug with boiling water. Bomelon found the herb of prompt use to arrest bleedings and flooding, when given in the form of a fluid extract, in doses of 1 to 2 spoonfuls.' 'Culpepper says it helps bleeding from wounds - inward or outward - and: 'if bound to the wrists, or the soles of the feet, it helps the jaundice. The herb made into poultices, helps inflammation and St. Anthony's fire. The juice dropped into ears, heals the pains, noise and matterings thereof. A good ointment may be made of it for all wounds, especially wounds in the head.' 'It has been used in English domestic practice from early times as an astringent in diarrhoea; it was much used in decoction with milk to check active purgings in calves.' 'It has been employed in fresh decoction in haematuria, haemorrhoids, chronic diarrhcea and dysentery, and locally as a vulnerary in nose-bleeding, which is checked by inserting the juice on cotton-wool. It is also used as an application in rheumatic af Manufacturer: Starwest Botanicals

Yerba Mate Leaf Green Cut & Sifted Cert. Organic (Ilex paraguariensis ) 1 lb: C
This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double-wall silverfoil pack. Used as an infusion and tincture. Roasted maté leaves are used throughout South America to make an infusion with stimulant effects. This plant provides a good alternative to tea or coffee, as it is not so upsetting to the system. There are also significant health benefits to its use. Yerba maté contains xanthine alkaloids (caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline), saponins, and 10% chlorogenic acid. Sterols resembling ergosterol and cholesterol are also present in yerba maté, and novel saponins, called matesaponins, have been discovered. Saponinsare phytochemicals which have been shown to stimulate the immune system. Yerba maté leaf is also a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and 15 amino acids. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Maté for 'Mental and physical fatigue.' 'Average daily dosage: 3 g of drug; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Comminuted herb for teas, herb powder for other galenical preparations for internal use.' 'Actions: Analeptic; Diuretic; Positively inotropic; Positively chronotropic; Glycogenolytic; Lipolytic.' An analeptic is a CNS stimulant. Chronotropic means: rate of muscle contraction. Inotropic means: force of muscle contraction. This has significance for people with heart problems. A positive effect on these two actions would mean an increase in the rate of contraction (positive chronotropic) and an increase in the force of contraction (positive inotropic). A glycogenolytic agent promotes the conversion of glycogen to burnable glucose. A lipolytic agent promotes the hydrolysis of fat. Maté is used for fatigue, nervous depression, rheumatic pains, psychogenic headache, and is specifically indicated for headache from fatigue. The Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia lists maté for psychogenic headache, fatigue, nervous depression, and rheumatic pains. In Germany, maté leaf is used as a component of prepared bladder and kidney teas, headache teas, and laxative teas. Maté dry extract is found as a component of instant teas and the alcoholic tincture is used in compound fluid preparations. In the United States, maté is used in monopreparations and as a component of central nervous system stimulant dietary supplements for mental and physical fatigue, aqueous infusion, alcoholic tincture, and aqueous dry extract. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'The tea is very sustaining, and sometimes it is the only refreshment carried for a journey of several days. Tonic, diuretic, diaphoretic, and powerfully stimulant.' Manufacturer: Starwest Botanicals
