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 Governments 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.

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.

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

This is Frontier's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. Chia is a tasty and nutritious food and makes a refreshing drink. Chia seed sprouts, of course, are the 'fur' on the famous 'chia pets.' Chia seeds do not sprout correctly in normal seed sprouters  they need a porous material such as earthenware  hence the earthenware chia pet. Beansprouts have outstanding nutritional value. They are rich in protein as well as vitamin A, the vitamin B complex, vitamin C and vitamin E, as well as various minerals and enzymes. The fresh crunch they add to your salads and sandwiches cannot be beaten. Chia seeds can also be roasted and ground, or mixed with corn and cooked in water to make a gruel called alole that is flavored with honey, chilies, or pimento. Chia seeds infused with water and flavored with lime juice make a mucilaginous drink that is still called 'chia fresca' in modern-day Mexico. It is said that one tablespoon can sustain a person for 24 hours. Chia was the basic survival ration of Aztec warriors. In Aztec medicine chia was used to stimulate saliva and to relieve joint pain and sore skin. Chia is an excellent source of soluble and insoluble fiber that can absorb sterols. When mixed with amaranth or oats, the amino acid profile balances out, offering twice as much protein as other grains. The fibers aid in intestinal healing and absorption of nutrients. Chia's water-soluble fibers, mucilages, cause it to form a gelatin when immersed in water for 30 minutes. Researchers believe this same gel-forming phenomenon takes place in the stomach, creating a physical barrier between carbohydrates and the digestive enzymes that break them down, thus slowing the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar. In addition to the obvious benefits for diabetics, this slowing of sugar conversion aids endurance. The chia's hydrophilic colloidal properties aid the digestion of any foods contributing to a sour stomach. Kalyx Fulfillment Center ships only to the USA and Canada
