Agrimony Herb C/S (Agrimonia eupatoria) 1 lb: C

This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Used as an infusion, decoction, extract, tincture and ointment. Astringent Agrimony, rich in tannins and flavonoids, is used as a tea or strong decoction to cure digestive system ailments, indigestion, urinary incontinence, cystitis and diarrhea. It is an excellent gargle for sore throat and laryngitis. As a topical ointment it heals wounds and bruises. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Agrimony herb for 'Internal: Mild, nonspecific, acute diarrhea; inflammation of oral and pharyngeal mucosa. External: Mild, superficial inflammation of the skin.' 'Dosage: For internal application: Average daily dosage: 3 g of herb; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Comminuted herb or herb powder for teas; other galenical preparations for external and internal use. Action: Astringent.' Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Astringent tonic, diuretic. Agrimony has had a great reputation for curing jaundice and other liver complaints. Gerard believed in its efficacy. He says: 'A decoction of the leaves is good for them that have naughty livers': and he tells us also that Pliny called it a 'herb of princely authoritie.' Dioscorides stated that it was not only 'a remedy for them that have bad livers,' but also 'for such as are bitten with serpents.' Dr. Hill, who from 1751 to 1771 published several works on Herbal medicine, recommends 'an infusion of 6 oz. of the crown of the root in a quart of boiling water, sweetened with honey and half a pint drank three times a day,' as an effectual remedy for jaundice. It gives tone to the system and promotes assimilation of food.' 'Agrimony is also considered a very useful agent in skin eruptions and diseases of the blood, pimples, blotches, etc. A strong decoction of the root and leaves, sweetened with honey or sugar, has been taken successfully to cure scrofulous sores, being administered two or three times a day, in doses of a wineglassful, persistently for several months. The same decoction is also often employed in rural districts as an application to ulcers.' 'Preparation: Fluid extract dose, 10 to 60 drops.' 'In North America, it is said to be used in fevers with great success, by the Indians and Canadians.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Agrimony is a mild tonic, alterative, and astringent. A decoction of it is highly recommended in bowel complaints, leucorrhoea, chronic mucous diseases, chronic affections of the digestive organs, profuse bleedings, of an asthenic character, certain cutaneous diseases, icterus, etc.' 'A strong decoction, sweetened with honey, is reputed curative in scrofula, if its use be persisted in for a length of time; and it has also been highly extolled in the treatment of gravel, asthma, coughs, and obstructed menstruation. Dr. D. C. Payne speaks highly of a continued use of a decoction of this plant in the treatment of erysip

Chairata Herb Powder (Swertia chirata) 120 vegicaps: B

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

This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Used as an infusion, decoction, tincture and salve. A tea made from the dried plant is useful for skin problems. It is applied daily and allowed to dry. A skin salve can be made by mixing a thick decoction with butter or oilive oil. Cleavers is popularly used in Europe for healing wounds and sores. Cleavers is also a powerful diuretic, helpful for such serious urinary problems as cystitis. What research has been done on Cleavers indicates that galiosin, an anthraquinone glycoside, other glycosides, tannins, and flavonoids are the active constituents. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Modern herbalists and homoeopaths still recognize the value of this herb, and as an alterative consider it may be given to advantage in scurvy, scrofula, psoriasis and skin diseases and eruptions generally.' 'As it is a rather powerful diuretic, care should be taken that it is not given where a tendency to diabetes is manifested. Its use, however, is recommended in dropsical complaints, as it operates with considerable power upon the urinary secretion and the urinary organs. It is given in obstructions of these organs, acting as a solvent of stone in the bladder.' 'The dried plant is often infused in hot water and drunk as a tea, 1 oz. of the dried herb being infused to 1 pint of water. This infusion, either hot or cold, is taken frequently in wine-glassful doses.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'A most valuable refrigerant and diuretic, and will be found very beneficial in many diseases of the urinary organs, as suppression of urine, calculous affections, inflammation of the kidneys and bladder, and in the scalding of urine in gonorrhoea.' 'It is contraindicated in diseases of a passive character, on account of its refrigerant and sedative effects on the system, but may be used freely in fevers and all acute diseases. It has been recommended in scorbutic and nervous affections, but can not be depended upon. Growth or deposits of a nodular character in the skin or mucous membranes are regarded as indications for its use.' 'An infusion may be made by macerating 1½ ounces of the herb in a pint of warm water for 2 hours, of which from 2 to 4 fluid ounces may be given 3 or 4 times a day, when cold. It may be sweetened with sugar or honey.' American Materia Medica, 1919 (Ellingwood): 'A sedative remedy in acute inflammation or irritation of the urinary tract. Given in fever it impresses the temperature favorably, stimulates the excretion of all urinary constituents and the fever is shortened by its use. It is given for its general tonic influence upon the urinary tract.' 'An infusion is the most active form. It is useful in dysuria if from acute inflammation, and it is an excellent remedy for suppression when nephritis has occurred from septic causes. It is useful in strangury in vesical irritation from uterine disorder and in the cystic and prostatic irritation of old men.'

Elderberry Extract 30% 100mg 60 capsules: HL

For thousands of years, people have enjoyed the healing benefits of Elderberry. Whether it’s stuffiness, a sore throat or fever from a cold, Elderberry may provide the nutritional benefit you need. Elderberry is rich in Vitamin C and is an excellent detoxifier. New research from Europe suggests that Elderberry can provide the nutritional support your body craves this cold and flu season. Loaded with bioflavinoids and other key phytochemicals, Elderberry is rapidly becoming one of the most popular therapeutic herbs. 'A...virus enters cells by puncturing their walls with tiny spikes that cover its surface. The active ingredients in elderberry bind to and cover the spikes, preventing them from piercing the cell membrane. The viral spikes are also covered with an enzyme that the virus uses to break down the cell wall. Elderberries have high concentrations of various bioflavinoids which may also inhibit the action of this enzyme.' Dr. Earl Mindell, The Mindell Letter Elderberry (Sambucus Nigra) may be used as a diaphoretic to break fevers, urinary complaints, edema, rheumatic complaints, colds & flu symptoms and muscle pain. Elder soothes coughs and inflammation by increasing bronchial secretions. It also noticeably increases sweating. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Elder Flowers and Elder Berries have long been used in the English countryside for making many home-made drinks and preserves that are almost as great favourites now as in the time of our great-grandmothers. The berries make an excellent home-made wine and winter cordial, which improves with age, and taken hot with sugar, just before going to bed, is an old-fashioned and well established cure for a cold.'

Creatine Monohydrate Caps 750mg 200 capsules: HL

There is one good reason why three out of four of the '96 summer Olympic medalists used creatine: it works and it works well. Our bodies naturally make Creatine, which is used to supply energy to our muscles. It is produced in the liver, pancreas, and kidneys, and is transported to the body's muscles through the bloodstream. Once it reaches the muscles, it is converted into phosphocreatine (creatine phosphate). This high-powered metabolite is used to regenerate the muscles' ultimate energy source, ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Creatine is also produced by many food animals, especially herring, salmon, tuna, and beef. In recent years, Creatine Monohydrate has become an important component of top high school, university, and professional sports nutrition programs nationwide. A French scientist first discovered creatine in 1832, but it was not until 1923 that scientists discovered that over 95% of creatine is stored in muscle tissue. The first published report of creatine having bodybuilding effects was in The Journal of Biological Chemistry in 1926. Although we’ve known about creatine for quite some time, the first real use of it to enhance performance was the 1992 Olympic games in Barcelona, Spain. Our Creatine is 100% pure and has been proven to enhance strength, improve endurance, reduce muscle fatigue and soreness, build lean muscle mass and increase total energy during your workout or when training for a sporting event. With Creatine, many people have reported measurable strength and muscle size gains in as little as 10 days. This product has been laboratory tested to ensure the highest level of quality, potency and purity. Creatine is bodybuilding's ultimate supplement, and for good reason. For one thing, creatine can significantly increase lean muscle mass in just two weeks. It is also responsible for improving performance in high-intensity exercise, increasing energy levels, and speeding up recovery rates. Creatine's ability to enhance energy reserves in muscles comes from its muscle protein synthesizing action, while minimizing protein breakdown. This occurs because creatine has the awesome effect of super-hydrating muscle cells with water. There have been over twenty double-blind, placebo-controlled studies conducted on creatine in the past five years. They proved that creatine increased energy levels, resulting in increased strength, endurance levels, and recovery rates. Another unexpected benefit attributed to creatine was discovered as well: creatine accelerates fat loss, while building lean body mass! Excellent results have been observed in taking creatine monohydrate in two different ways. The first way is called loading. This method works very well for anyone who has never taken creatine before. Just as the name implies, it involves loading up or saturating your muscles with creatine. During the first four days to a week, take 20 to 30 grams per day. Mix it with non-acidic juice or water. Grape juice works well.

Alpha Lipoic Acid 50mg 50 tablets: HL

Alpha Lipoic Acid is a coenzyme that has potent and versatile antioxidant properties. It also supports the activity of the mitochondria and energy production in the body.

This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Used as a tea or decoction. Fo-ti use is ancient in China, especially as a tonic and restorative for the elderly. It is identified as a Qi tonic, that is, an herb that benefits the immune system and has hormonal effects. It is a traditonal treatment for poor sleep. The herb is regarded as a slow-acting sedative, that is, a systemic sedative the benefits of which are felt over a period of months. Fo-ti is rich in phospholipids (such as lecithin), anthraquinones (rhein, emodin and chysophanol), tannins, and tetrahydroxystilbene glucoside. Animal and test tube research has confirmed traditional Chinese usages, showing Fo-Ti to lower blood fat, increase red blood cell production, fight bacteria, stimulate immune functions and have a mild laxative effect. Oklahoma State University was assigned a U.S. patent (Patent 5,531,991 issued July 2, 1996) for an extract of Polygonum multiflorum designed to treat hyperglycemia. The extract was developed by Professors Nan-Zheng Cheng and Barbara Stoecker. Three fractions of extracts were shown to potentiate insulin activity in fat cell assays and lower blood glucose levels in animal studies.

This is a potent 5 to 1 powdered extract, meaning that one gram of extract is equal in potency to 5 grams of herb. Used as a tea or decoction. In China, where it is called Ho Shou Wu, Fo-Ti root is said to possess almost magical rejuvenating properties, and it is especially popular with the elderly who believe it can help one maintain hair color, preserve youthfulness, and restore fertility. Traditional Chinese herbalists place great emphasis on the shape and age of the roots, with the older roots being in great demand. Made into a tea or infusion for oral ingestion, Eastern and Western herbalists recommend Fo-Ti as a tonic to maintain youthful vigor, increase energy, tone the kidneys and liver, and purify the blood. It has also been employed as a remedy for insomnia, stomach upset, and diabetes. Fo-Ti contains a number of glycosides that account for the herbs use as a remedy for stomach disorders and constipation. Researchers suspect that the roots may contain compounds with mild cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory effects, but this has yet to be proved. Fo-Ti has been found to reduce hypertension, reduce blood cholesterol levels, and reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease among individuals prone to these conditions. In Chinese materia medica, Fo-Ti has been used historically for neurasthenia, insomnia, excessive sweating, dizziness, elevated serum cholesterol, coronary disease, weakness, pain, and backache. These uses conform well to the traditional Chinese medical research that Fo-Ti has anti-toxic, anti-swelling, and tranquilizing properties.

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.

Over a low heat, slowly stir in sugar until it becomes thick and granules completely dissolve. (Stir in more water if the mixture becomes too thick.) Remove from heat and stir in orange juice. Transfer to a container and allow to cool before covering tightly. Marshmallow Root & Lanolin Soap: http://www.ziggurat.org/soap/recipes/basic-soap.shtml: From Kim of Oakleaf Valley Naturals Ingredients: 22 oz tallow 8 oz olive oil 4 oz castor oil 12 oz shortening 1 oz stearic acid 18 oz water (infused with marshmallow root) 6.3 oz lye Add at trace: 2 oz lanolin I scented this with Anise. Once the lanolin saponifies, I've never smelled it in soap. To infuse marshmallow root: In a saucepan, take about a cup of marshmallow root pieces (chopped as finely as possible) and cover them with water (try to get as close to the final amount as possible...for this recipe I started with 24 oz so I knew I'd have enough. Anything left over makes a wonderful lotion) You'll end up with a thick, almost jelly-like substance that is wonderfully moisturizing for your skin. Use this for your water in the soap recipe (I left a few small pieces in the soap; it didn't leave the soap scratchy at all). Marshmallow Root is also serious old-time medicine. Marshmallow root and extract were formerly official in the United States Pharmacopeia and the National Formulary. In the U.S. today, marshmallow is used as a component of dietary supplement antitussive and demulcent preparations. The root is also used as a component of a few prepared cough tea and cough syrup medicines. In Germany, marshmallow root and leaf are both licensed as standard medicinal teas. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Marshmallow root for '(a) Irritation of the oral and pharyngeal mucosa and associated dry cough. (b) Mild inflammation of the gastric mucosa.' 'Daily dosage: 6 g of root; equiv

This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Spirulina is a single-celled, spiral-shaped blue-green microalgae that is often called a 'superfood' because of its nutrient-density. A highly digestible food, spirulina is at least 60% vegetable protein, which is predigested by the algae. It is higher in protein than any other food. 1 tsp of Spirulina contains 280% DV Beta Carotene, 110% B12, 15% Iron, 2% Calcium and no fat. Its outstanding nutritional profile also includes the essential fatty acids, GLA fatty acid, lipids, the nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), B complex, vitamin C and E and phytochemicals, such as carotenoids, chlorophyll (blood purifier), and phycocyanin (a blue pigment), which is a protein that is known to inhibit cancer. The carotenoids and chlorophyll may also contribute to Spirulina's anticancer and apparent immunogenic effects. Spirulina is two to six times richer in B12 than its nearest rival, raw beef liver. Spirulina is 58 times richer than raw spinach in iron. Spirulina is nature's richest whole-food source of Vitamin E. It's 3 times richer than raw wheat germ and its biological activity is 49% greater than synthetic vitamin E. Spirulina is nature's richest whole-food source of Beta-Carotene (Pro Vitamin A). It's 25 times richer than raw carrots. Unlike the preformed vitamin A of synthetics and fish liver oils, beta-carotene is completely nontoxic even in mega doses. Spirulina is nature's richest whole-food source of Antioxidants. It contains a spectrum of every natural antioxidant known, including: the antioxidant vitamins B-1 and B-6; the minerals zinc, manganese and copper; the amino acid methionine; and the superantioxidants beta-carotene, vitamin E and trace element selenium. Spirulina is nature's richest whole-food source of Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). Its oils are 3 times richer in GLA than evening primrose oil. Studies have indicated that GLA helps lower blood cholesterol and high blood pressure and eases such conditions as arthritis, premenstrual pain, eczema and other skin conditions. Spirulina is nature's richest whole-food source of Chlorophyll - many times richer than alfalfa or wheat grass! Spirulina is nature's richest whole-food source of Complete High-Biological Value Protein: Spirulina - 60-70% Soybeans - 30-35% Beef - 18-22% Eggs - 12-16% Tofu - 8% Milk - 3% Spirulina Smoothie: Try this with Cranberry juice and / or almond milk! 1 banana 1 cup orange juice or other natural juice or concentrate 1-3 teaspoons spirulina powder Combine all ingredients in blender until smooth.

This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Chlorella is a fresh water, single-celled algae. It is a nutrient-dense superfood that contains 60% protein, 18 amino acids (including all the essential amino acids), and various vitamins and minerals. Its deep green color comes from the fact that chlorella contains the highest amount of chlorophyll of any know plant. It makes a great addition to any nutritious smoothie blend. One of chlorella's unique properties is a phytonutrient called CGF. CGF is a nucleotide-peptide complex found in the nucleus of the chlorella cell. There are many species of chlorella, but only Chlorella pyrenoidosa was found to be rich in the CGF and nutrients. Chlorella has been used as energy-producing food in Asia for centuries. In Japan, it is traditionally used as a treatment for duodenal ulcers, gastritis, hypertension, diabetes, hypoglycemia, asthma, and constipation. More recently, it is has been touted as an effective therapy for elevated cholesterol levels, a prophylactic to ward of infections and, and adjunct treatment for cancer. Chlorella is now used as an adjunct supplement during radiation treatment for cancer. Its abundance of chlorophyll is known to protect the body against ultraviolet radiation. It is often combined with other natural green foods such as spirulina, wheat grass, barley greens, and sometimes seaweed. Active compounds Vitamins, including many B complex vitamins, (B-1, B-2, B-3, B-6, pantotheneic acid, folic acid, biotin, PABA, inositol, B-12), vitamin A, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, iodine, phosphorus.
