Gingko Nut (Ginkgo biloba; Bai Guo) 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 maybe 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. These take an extra week to deliver. Manufacturer: Plum Flower Brand

Parsley Leaf Flakes Cert Organic (Petroselinum crispum) 1.5 oz: K
All Frontier Bottled Spices are freshness dated, non-irradiated, safety sealed and feature a convenient shaker top for easy use. Parsely, of course, is essential as a garnish and spice in innumerable recipes and sauces. Chopped parsley and garlic in olive oil are a Mediterranean standard. French fines herbes uses parsley, as does sauce béarnaise. Parsely smells best uncooked or quick fried in olive oil. But bouquet garni, a parsely-rich herb bundle cooked in soups, sauces or stews, is immersed in the dish for as long as it is cooked. Lebanese hummus, baba ganoush and tabbouleh make good use of parsley. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'The uses of Parsley are many and are by no means restricted to the culinary sphere. The most familiar employment of the leaves in their fresh state is, of course, finely-chopped, as a flavouring to sauces, soups, stuffings, rissoles, minces, etc., and also sprinkled over vegetables or salads. The leaves are extensively cultivated, not only for sending to market fresh, but also for the purpose of being dried and powdered as a culinary flavouring in winter, when only a limited supply of fresh Parsley is obtainable.' 'In addition to the leaves, the stems are also dried and powdered, both as a culinary colouring and for dyeingg purposes. There is a market for the seeds to supply nurserymen, etc., and the roots of the turnip-rooted variety are used as a vegetable and flavouring.' 'Medicinally, the two-year-old roots are employed, also the leaves, dried, for making Parsley Tea, and the seeds, for the extraction of an oil called Apiol, which is of considerable curative value.' 'Preparations and Dosages: Fluid extract root, ½ to 1 drachm. Fluid extract seeds, ½ to 1 drachm. Apiol (oil), 5 to 15 drops in capsule.' The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy andHerbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends 'Parsley, consisting of the fresh or dried plant [and] Parsley root, consisting of the dried root' for 'flushing out the efferent urinary tract in disorders of the same and in prevention and treatment of kidney gravel.' 'Contraindications: Pregnancy; inflammatory kidney conditions. Precautions: Irrigation therapy (flushing out treatment) should not be carried out in the case of edema caused by impaired heart or kidney function. Side Effects: Occasional allergic skin or mucous membrane reactions have been reported.' 'Daily dose: 6 g of the prepared drug. Mode of Administration: The crushed drug for infusions as well as other galenical preparations with a comparably small proportion of essential oil to be taken orally.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Diuretic, relieving urinary irritation. Very useful in dropsy, especially that following scarlatina, and other exanthematous diseases. Also used in retention of urine, strangury, and gonorrhoea.' 'Parsley seeds have a powerful odor, somewhat like that of turpentine, and a spicy, pungent taste, and have been used as a carminative, and for Manufacturer: Frontier Natural Brands Spices

Eucalyptus Essential Oil Cert Organic 1/3 fl oz: C
Eucalyptus leaves are, of course, koala food, the arboreal symbol of Australia, but can now be found in subtropical regions throughout the world. Eucalyptus was also known as Australian fever tree, a reference to its ancient Native Australian usage. The medicinal properties of Eucalyptus reside in its oil, which is extracted from the fresh leaves and branch tips, and is found in the dried leaves. It acts as a decongestant, loosens phlegm, and relieves spasms. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Eucalyptus leaf for 'Catarrhs of the respiratory tract.' It has a strong camphorous odor. Avoid if you have high blood pressure or epilepsy. Eucalyptus has a cooling and deodorizing effect on the body, helping with fevers, migraine and malaria. For the respiratory tract, it helps with coughs, asthma, throat infections, sinusitis and catarrhal conditions. It soothes inflammation and eases mucus, clearing the head from the stuffiness of colds and hay fever. Eucalyptus oil is useful as a warming oil when used for muscular aches and pains, rheumatoid arthritis, sprains and poor circulation. In skin care it can be used for burns, blisters, herpes, cuts, wounds, skin infections and insect bites. Eucalyptus oil can boost the immune system, and is helpful especially in cases of chicken pox, colds, flu and measles. Eucalyptus oil is very helpful when used on headaches, fevers, on the respiratory tract, muscular aches and pains and in skin care. It has a soothing and calming effect on the whole body and helps with the immune system. The oil is also effective against bacteria - specially staphylococci. In vapor therapy Eucalyptus oil can be used for: frequent sneezing, hay fever, flu, respiratory problems and as insect repellant.

Saffron 1 Gram (Crocus sativus; Hong Hua / Xi Zang): K
Saffron is a colorful and very tasty gourmet spice, a mainstay of many Mediterranean diets. The name saffron comes from the Arabic za'faran (yellow) - a sacred color in many traditions. Saffron was chosen by Buddhist monks for their robes. The ancient Greeks also colored their sacred robes with golden saffron. Saffron is a unique, versatile spice, traditionally used with stews, fish, seafood, sweets and pastries. It is also a very strong spice, a little going a long way. Saffron is an ancient favorite in Central Asian and Northern Indian rice, meat and dessert dishes. Safrron mixes well with cinnamon, bay leaves, cardamom, cloves, star anise, peppermint, nutmeg or mace. Water-soluble Saffron is often soaked overnight in water or milk before being added to the recipe. Filet of Zander with Saffron: http://www.1vacation.com/zandersaffron.html: Ingredients: 2 Kg (4 ½ lbs) Zander (fish) ½ bottle White Wine Bouquet garni Salt, pepper ½ cup Fresh Cream Saffron 2 Eggs 1 Lemon Remove the fillets from zander. Make a stock with the bones and head, a litre of cold water, ½ bottle of white wine, a bouquet garni, rock salt, mignonette pepper. Bring to the boil and reduce to ¾. Remove the scales from the fillets and place them on a buttered baking dish, cover with the fish stock (keep ¼ of the stock to the side). Sprinkle the fillets with a few strands of saffron and add 2 cl fresh cream. Bake in a medium oven for 15 minutes. Infuse 0.2 g of saffron in the remaining fish stock until it colors. Do not boil. Pour this infusion over 2 egg yolks whisked with ½ salted lemon juice and 10 cl of liquid fresh cream, mixing with a spatula until the egg yorks thicken. Serve the zander fillets warm with the saffron strands on top and the sauce apart in a sauceboat, leaving the saffron to rise to the surface. Saffron Cake Recipe: http://www.greenchronicle.com/connies_cornish_kitchen/saffron_cake_recipe.htm: 'Coweth wheg' This is also a well known delicacy in Cornwall. Saffron is usually sold in drachms (1/8 of an ounce) and ½ drachms (1/16 of an ounce) and is very expensive hence the old Cornish saying 'as dear as saffron'. It is believed that the Phoenicians brought saffron over with them when they came to trade for tin. As far as I know Cornwall is one of the only places where saffron is used in this way. 1lb plain flour 6oz butter, margarine or lard 6oz sugar 6oz currants, sultanas 1.5 oz of mixed, diced, candied peel ( lemon or orange ) 0.25tsp salt 1oz yeast or 1 sachet of dried yeast 1 drachm saffron warm milk and water to mix Overnight put saffron to infuse by snipping the strands and cover with ¼cup of boiling water and a small pinch of salt.

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 toslightly 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).

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 cultivated primarily 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 press Manufacturer: Frontier Natural Brands Chinese Herbs

Parsley Leaf Flakes Cert Organic (Petroselinum crispum) 0.27 oz Pouch: K
Parsely, of course, is essential as a garnish and spice in innumerable recipes and sauces. Chopped parsley and garlic in olive oil are a Mediterranean standard. French fines herbes uses parsley, as does sauce béarnaise. Parsely smells best uncooked or quick fried in olive oil. But bouquet garni, a parsely-rich herb bundle cooked in soups, sauces or stews, is immersed in the dish for as long as it is cooked. Lebanese hummus, baba ganoush and tabbouleh make good use of parsley. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'The uses of Parsley are many and are by no means restricted to the culinary sphere. The most familiar employment of the leaves in their fresh state is, of course, finely-chopped, as a flavouring to sauces, soups, stuffings, rissoles, minces, etc., and also sprinkled over vegetables or salads. The leaves are extensively cultivated, not only for sending to market fresh, but also for the purpose of being dried and powdered as a culinary flavouring in winter, when only a limited supply of fresh Parsley is obtainable.' 'In addition to the leaves, the stems are also dried and powdered, both as a culinary colouring and for dyeingg purposes. There is a market for the seeds to supply nurserymen, etc., and the roots of the turnip-rooted variety are used as a vegetable and flavouring.' 'Medicinally, the two-year-old roots are employed, also the leaves, dried, for making Parsley Tea, and the seeds, for the extraction of an oil called Apiol, which is of considerable curative value.' 'Preparations and Dosages: Fluid extract root, ½ to 1 drachm. Fluid extract seeds, ½ to 1 drachm. Apiol (oil), 5 to 15 drops in capsule.' The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends 'Parsley, consisting of the fresh or dried plant [and] Parsley root, consisting of the dried root' for 'flushing out the efferent urinary tract in disorders of the same and in prevention and treatment of kidney gravel.' 'Contraindications: Pregnancy; inflammatory kidney conditions. Precautions: Irrigation therapy (flushing out treatment) should not becarried out in the case of edema caused by impaired heart or kidney function. Side Effects: Occasional allergic skin or mucous membrane reactions have been reported.' 'Daily dose: 6 g of the prepared drug. Mode of Administration: The crushed drug for infusions as well as other galenical preparations with a comparably small proportion of essential oil to be taken orally.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Diuretic, relieving urinary irritation. Very useful in dropsy, especially that following scarlatina, and other exanthematous diseases. Also used in retention of urine, strangury, and gonorrhoea.' 'Parsley seeds have a powerful odor, somewhat like that of turpentine, and a spicy, pungent taste, and have been used as a carminative, and for the same purpose as the root.... The oil is efficient as a diuretic, in doses of 3 or 4 drops a day; dose of the infusion, 2 to 4 Manufacturer: Frontier Natural Brands Spices

Oregano Leaf Cert Organic (Origanum vulgare) 2.9 oz: K
All Frontier Bottled Spices are freshness dated, non-irradiated, safety sealed and feature a convenient shaker top for easy use. Origanum vulgare, European pot, or wild, marjoram, is an Old World perennial aromatic herb of the mint family, cultivated for flavoring. What would a good pizza or spagetti sauce be without oregano? The generic names Marjorana and Origanum are frequently interchanged. Use in potpourri and scented pillows. Infuse as a tea for colds and headaches. Add a decoction to bath water as a relaxant. Oregano, most often combined with basil, is basic to Italian tomato sauces, pizza, fried vegetables and grilled meat. Oregano is an elementally important cooking herb throughout most of the Mediterranean and South America. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Marjoram yields about 2 per cent of a volatile oil which is separated by distillation.... Its properties are stimulant, carminative, diaphoretic and mildly tonic; a useful emmenagogue.' 'It is so acrid that it has been employed not only as a rubefacient, and often as a liniment, but has also been used as a caustic by farriers. A few drops, put on cotton-wool and placed in the hollow of an aching tooth frequently relieves the pain.' 'In the commencement of measles, it is useful in producing a gentle perspiration and bringing out the eruption, being given in the form of a warm infusion, which is also valuable in spasms, colic, and to give relief from pain in dyspeptic complaints.' 'Externally, the dried leaves and tops may be applied in bags as a hot fomentation to painful swellings and rheumatism, as well as for colic.' 'An infusion made from the fresh plant will relieve nervous headache, by virtue of the camphoraceous principle contained in the oil.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Origanum is gently stimulant, tonic, and emmenagogue. A warm infusion produces diaphoresis, and tends to promote menstruation, when recently suppressed from cold. It is sometimes employed externally in fomentation.' Manufacturer: Frontier Natural Brands Spices

Turmeric Root Powder Cert. Organic (Curcuma longa; Yu Jin) 1 lb: K
This is Frontier's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. Alleppey finger, minimum 5% curcumin. Turmeric root has a delicious, earthy and woody flavor. The use of turmeric as a colouring and flavoring agent in food is ancient. In medieval Europe, turmeric was known as Indian Saffron. India is the world’s leading producer, and consumer, of turmeric. The well-known varieties are 'Alleppey finger' (from Kerala), 'Madras Finger' and 'Erode turmeric' (from Tamil Nadu). Turmeric is a necessary ingredient of curry powder. It is used extensively in Indian dishes, including lentil, rice, fish and meat dishes, and in Southeast Asian cooking. Turmeric is routinely added to mustard blends and relishes. It also is used in place of saffron to provide color and flavor, though it lacks saffron's aroma. Turmeric is an unusually healthful spice. Curcumin, turmeric's active constituent, protects against free radical damage because it is a strong antioxidant. It also reduces inflammation by lowering histamine levels and possibly by increasing production of natural cortisone by the adrenal glands. It also protects the liver from a number of toxic compounds. It also has been shown to prevent platelets from clumping together, which in turn improves circulation and helps protect against atherosclerosis. There are also numerous animal studies showing a cancer-preventing action of curcumin. This may be due to its antioxidant activity in the body. Turmeric also acts as a mild antacid. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy andHerbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Turmeric root for 'Dyspeptic conditions.' 'Average daily dosage: 1.5 - 3 g of drug; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration Comminuted drug, as well as other galenical preparations for internal use. Actions: The choleretic [bile-producing] action of curcumin is experimentally well documented. Further indications exist for a cholecystokinetic and a clear antiinflammatory action.'

Red Sage is a versatile gourmet spice. It is a favorite Italian meat and poultry flavoring, and is also used in rich, butter-based pasta sauces. Sage is an overpowering, somewhat bitter spice – useful for strong barbeque-type seasonings. Medicinally, Red Sage tea has traditionally been used for inflammations of the mouth, throat andtonsils, its volatile oils soothing the mucous membranes. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Sage leaf for 'External: Inflammations of the mucous membranes of nose and throat. Internal:Dyspeptic symptoms, excessive perspiration.' 'Principal components of the essential oil, in addition to thujone, are cineol and camphor. In addition, the leaves contain tannins, diterpene bitter principles, triterpenes, steroids, flavones, and flavonoid glycosides.' 'Dosage: Internal: Daily dosage: 4 - 6 g of herb; 0.1 - 0.3 g of essential oil*; 2.5 - 7.5 g of tincture (according to Erg. B. 6); 1.5 - 3 g fluidextract (according to Erg. B. 6). For gargles and rinses: 2.5 g of herb or 2 - 3 drops of essential oil in 100 ml of water as infusion or 5 g of alcoholic extract in 1 glass water. External: Undiluted alcohol extract.

It is very easy to overdose with these highly concentrated oils, and allergic reactions are possible. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Stimulant, astringent, tonic and carminative. Has been used in dyspepsia, but is now mostly employed as a condiment.' 'In the United States, where it is still an official medicine, it is in some repute, especially in the form of an infusion, the principal and most valued application of which is as a wash for the cure of affections of the mouth and as a gargle in inflamed sore throat, being excellent for relaxed throat and tonsils, and also for ulcerated throat. The gargle is useful for bleeding gums and to prevent an excessive flow of saliva.' 'When a more stimulating effect to the throat is desirable, the gargle may be made of equal quantities of vinegar and water, ½ pint of hot malt vinegar being poured on 1 oz. of leaves, adding ½ pint of cold water.' 'The infusion when made for internal use is termed Sage Tea, and can be made simply by pouring 1 pint of boiling water on to 1 oz. of the dried herb, the dose being from a wineglassful to half a teacupful, Manufacturer: Frontier Natural Brands Spices

Basil, widely grown as a kitchen herb, is used fresh or driedto flavour meats, fish, salads, pizza, soup and sauces. The dried leaves have a fragrant aroma faintly reminiscent of anise, and a warm, sweet, aromatic, mildly pungent flavour. Tea made from basil leaves is a stimulant. Basil tea is used for nausea and gas pains. Tea made with basil and peppercorns is a folk remedy to reduce fever. Since the delicate aroma of basil is quickly destroyed by cooking, basil leaves are frequently sprinkled over cold or warm dishes before serving. Capri Salad Capriccio Caprese For 6 persons: 4 ripe tomatoes - 1 lb. 1½ oz. Mozzarella cheese - 2 tsp. finely chopped capers - 6 tbsp. olive oil - salt - 1 tbsp. vinegar - 10 basil leaves. Cut the tomatoes into fairly thin slices and the Mozzarella cheese into slices that are slightly thinner. Arrange the slices, alternating tomatoes and Mozzarella, on a serving dish. Prepare a sauce by blending oil, salt, vinegar and chopped capers. Pour over the tomatoes and cheese and garnish with basil leaves. Pesto Sauce: Place in a food processor 2 cups basil leaves, lightly packed, 2 garlic cloves, minced, 2 tablespoons parsley sprigs, and process until fine. Add 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons grated Parmiggiano-Reggiano cheese, 2 tablespoons pine nuts, and dash salt and pepper, and whir to blend. Pesto is usually served with pasta. Besides tasting excellent, pesto is also efficient in conserving basil, even without deep-freezer (although it does keep better frozen). Thai Chicken with Basil 1 1/3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4), cut into 1-by-2-inch pieces 2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce 1½ tablespoons Soy sauce 1 tablespoon water 1½ teaspoons Sugar 2 tablespoons cooking oil 1 large onion, cut into thin slices 3 fresh red Chiles, seeds and ribs removed, cut into thin slices, or ¼ teaspoon dried red-pepper flakes 3 Cloves Garlic, minced 1½ cups lightly packed Basil leaves In a medium bowl, combine the chicken with the fish sauce, Soy sauce, water, and sugar. In a large nonstick frying pan or a wok, heat the oil over moderately high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in the Chiles and garlic; cook, stirring, 30 seconds longer. Remove the chicken from the marinade with a slotted spoon and add it to the hot pan. Cook until almost done, stirring, about 3 minutes. Add the marinade and cook 30 seconds longer. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 cup of the basil. Serve topped with the remaining ½ cup basil. Manufacturer: Frontier Natural Brands Spices

Shea Butter, Pure, 4 oz: K
The Shea tree (Butyrospermum parkii) is found along the West African Savannah region. The tree grows wild and it is not cultivated. It is small (usually 40 - 45 ft high) and has a spreading canopy, looking very much like the American Oak. It takes about fifty years to reach maturity. Shea butter has been used for various health remedies in Africa, especially skin problems, for thousands of years. Cleopatra used it in her cosmetics. It is a healing skin emollient. The tree produces plum-like fruits from which the Shea butter is extracted. The pulp of the fruit can be eaten and the oil, Shea butter, which is extracted from the seed or nut, has always been used in Africa as a skin soother, cosmetic base, cooking oil and lamp fuel. The butter is prepared by roasting the nuts, pounding or grinding them and then extracting the pulverized nuts to separate the butter. This natural butter is edible and can last a whole year without any preservatives. Our cosmetic oils, such as Lanolin or Shea Butter, work well as carriers for essential oils, moisturizers and massage oils. Because of its softness, unsaponifiable content & vitamin F, Shea Butter is excellent for a body massage. With the help of your body heat, it absorbs quickly into the skin. African Shea Butterhelps reduce stretch marks, dark spots, blemishes, premature facial lines & eye bags. It is effective on dry, dull, rough & flaky skin. To soften stubborn callouses on the feet, soak your feet in warm water for about 15 mins. Scrub your heels with a bath stone. Change the warm water. Add 1 teaspoon of shea butter to the warm water. Soak your feet for a second time for 15-20 mins. Towel dry & moisturize with Shea Butter. Do this once or twice a week. To revitalize your hair, massage a generous amount of pure Shea Butter on your scalp and in your hair. Wrap with a warm towel for 30 mins. Remove the towel and style as usual. For soft silky hair, shampoo your hair the next day. This process is also useful for dry hair, dry scalp & dandruff. Apply African Shea Butter to your hair before swimming to help protect your hair from the chlorine & salt. After swimming, condition & rinse out your hair right away.

Costus Root (Saussureae lappa; Auklandia; Mu Xiang) 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. These take an extra week to deliver. Manufacturer: Plum Flower Brand

Almond, Sweet Pure Carrier Oil Cert Organic 8 fl oz: K
Softening, protecting and nurturing benefits. A natural source of skin-nourishing antioxidants and vitamins. Most essential oils are so strong thata 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. Sweet Almond oil is the first choice of many aromatherapists as it is good for all skin types. Especially good for eczema. It absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving it soft and non greasy. Excellent for making massage oils, or any recipe that calls for a vegetable carrier oil. Helps relieve itching, soreness, dryness and inflammation. Useful against burns and thread veins. Almond oil goes rancid quickly, so blends made with it must be used quickly. 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 (easy to 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: Frontier Natural Brands Aromatherapy
