This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Used as an infusion, decoction, extract and tincture. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'The rootstock, the part used medicinally, is spindle-shaped and has a knotty crown, slightly but distinctly annulate, the remainder longitudinally wrinkled.' 'The Western Indians boil the tubers for food, prepare a crude sugar from the flowers and eat the young seed-pods, after boiling them, with buffalo meat. Some of the Canadian tribes use the young shoots as a potherb, after the manner of asparagus.' 'Antispasmodic, diaphoretic, expectorant, tonic, carminative and mildly cathartic.' 'From early days this Asclepias has been regarded as a valuable medicinal plant. It is one of the most important of the indigenous American remedies, and until lately was official in the United States Pharmacopoeia.' 'It possesses a specific action on the lungs, assisting expectoration, subduing inflammation and exerting a general mild tonic effect on the system, making it valuable in all chest complaints. It is of great use in pleurisy, mitigating the pain and relieving the difficulty of breathing, and is also recommended in pulmonary catarrh. It is extensively used in the Southern States in these cases, also in consumption, in doses of from 20 grains to a drachm in a powder, or in the form of a decoction.' 'It has also been used with great advantage in diarrhoea, dysentery and acute and chronic rheumatism, in low typhoid states and in eczema. It is claimed that the drug may be employed with benefit in flatulent colic and indigestion, but in these conditions it is rarely used.' 'In large doses it acts as an emetic and purgative.' 'A teacupful of the warm infusion (1 in 30) taken every hour will powerfully promote free perspiration and suppressed expectoration. The infusion may be prepared by taking 1 teaspoonful of the powder in a cupful of boiling water.' 'The decoction is taken in doses of 2 to 3 fluid ounces.' 'The dose of the fluid extract is ½ to 1 drachm; of Asclepin, 1 to 4 grains.' 'A much-recommended herbal recipe is: Essence of composition powder, 1 oz.; fluid extract of Pleurisy Root, 1 oz. Mix and take a teaspoonful three or four times daily in warm sweetened water.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Asclepias, or pleurisy root, was one of the most common of the indigenous medicines employed by the Eclectic fathers. It was favorably written upon by most of the earlier writers on American medicinal plants. The drug has fallen into unmerited neglect, and could profitably be employed at the present day for purposes for which much more powerful, and sometimes dangerous, drugs are used. It has an extensive range of usefulness, being possessed of diaphoretic, diuretic, laxative, tonic, carminative, expectorant, and probably antispasmodic properties.' 'Pleurisy root has a deservedly good reputation in respiratory diseases. It acts upon the mucous membrane of the pulmonary tract, augmenting

This is Frontier's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. Marshmallow root is, of course, the basic ingredient in innumerable confection recipes. Want real old-time sweet treats? Start here. Marshmallows Treats: http://www.hungrybrowser.com/phaedrus/m010702.htm: 2 egg whites 1 tsp vanilla ½ cup raw cane sugar 1 tbsp powdered Marshmallow (root) Whip egg whites until almost stiff. Add vanilla and whip until stiff. Then whip in the sugar, 1 tsp at the time. Finally, add Marshmallow and whip again. Place by teaspoonfull on cookie sheet. Bake in 325 oven for 1 hour. Marshmallow Cough Syrup: http://www.cyber-kitchen.com/ubbs/archive/HOME_REMEDIES/Cough_and_Cold_Remedies.html: 2 cups water 2 cups sugar ¼ cup orange juice or juice of 1 lemon 1½ to 2 ½ tsp chopped dried marshmallow root In a small saucepan, bring marshmallow root and water to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Strain liquid into another saucepan (should result in about 1 cup). 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. Chlorella appears to be free of any undesirable side effects Research conducted in Japan suggests that chlorella may have antitumor activity against breast cancer. However, its main use in cancer therapy is to help remove radioactive particles from the body after radiation treatment.

Horehound Blend" contains herbs that strengthen the lungs, reduce bronchial inflammation and aid expectoration, helping to open the airways for easier breathing. Horehound Blend" is useful for chronic lung conditions such as asthma, chronic bronchitis and low grade respiratory congestion. Sometimes after an acute infection the lungs do not fully heal, the result is chronically inflamed bronchioles and an excess of mucus production in the lungs. While Over-the-Counter (OTC) medications tend to suppress all coughs, the Horehound, Mullein, and other herbs in this blend work as expectorants, supporting the body's natural desire to rid itself of excess mucus. Note: When excess mucus is present, try eliminating dairy and other mucus producing foods such as wheat and sugar. Facial steams and humidifiers can also help loosen congestion. ''My 7 year old has been fighting a cough. I was giving him an herbal cough medicine ( liquid ), however it was not doing the job. I went to the health store and decided to try your brand of Herbs. Within ONE day, the results are EXCELLENT. Now I will always use your brand. Thank you.''  Donna P., Randolph, NJ

This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Used as an infusion, decoction, extract, tincture and syrup. As Grieve says, 'Preparations of Horehound are still largely used as expectorants and tonics. It may, indeed, be considered one of the most popular pectoral remedies, being given with benefit for chronic cough, asthma, and some cases of consumption.' The contemporary British Herbal Compendium indicates its use for acute bronchitis, non-productive coughs and catarrh of the respiratory tract as well as for lack of appetite and dyspepsia, as does the French Direction de la Pharmacie et du Médicament. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Horehound herb for 'Loss of appetite and dyspepsia, such as bloating and flatulence.' 'Daily dosage: 4.5 g of drug; 2 - 6 tbs. of pressed juice; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration Comminuted herb, freshly expressed plant juice and other galenical preparations for internal use. Action Marrubinic acid works as a choleretic.' Horehound is a common expectorant component of Europeanmade herbal cough remedies, such as Ricola® lozenges, that are sold in the United States. Horehound was formerly official in the United States Pharmacopeia. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Preparations of Horehound are still largely used as expectorants and tonics. It may, indeed, be considered one of the most popular pectoral remedies, being given with benefit for chronic cough, asthma, and some cases of consumption.' 'For children's coughs and croup, it is given to advantage in the form of syrup, and is a most useful medicine for children, not only for the complaints mentioned, but as a tonic and a corrective of the stomach. It has quite a pleasant taste.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Hoarhound is a stimulant tonic, expectorant, and diuretic. Its stimulant action upon the laryngeal and bronchial mucous membranes is pronounced, and it, undoubtedly, also influences the respiratory function.' 'It is used in the form of syrup, in coughs, colds, chronic catarrh, asthma, and all pulmonary affections. The warm infusion will produce diaphoresis, and sometimes diuresis, and has been used with benefit in jaundice, asthma, hoarseness, amenorrhoea, and hysteria; the cold infusion is an excellent tonic in some forms of dyspepsia, acts as a vermifuge, and will be found efficient in checking mercurial ptyalism. In large doses it purges.' 'It enters into the composition of several syrups and candies. Dose of the powder, 1 drachm; of the infusion, or syrup, from 2 to 4 fluid ounces; specific marrubium, 1 to 30 drops.' Eclectic Materia Medica, 1922 (Felter): 'Hoarhound is a stimulating expectorant and tonic, and is adapted to both acute and chronic irritation of the larynx and bronchial tract, and gives added power to respiration.' 'In small doses it is a gastric tonic of considerable value, but given too freely it will

This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Used as an infusion, decoction, extract and tincture. Elecampane's volatile oil has been shown to be active against the tubercle bacillus. The volatile oil stimules the production of mucus, as the saponins stimulate the bronchial structures, thus increasing the lung's elimination of mucus. The plant's mucilages soothe the irritated throat lining. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'In herbal medicine it is chiefly used for coughs and other pulmonary complaints, being a favourite domestic remedy for bronchitis. It has been employed for many years with good results in chest affections, for which it is a valuable medicine as it is in all chronic diseases of the lungs, asthma and bronchitis. It gives relief to the respiratory difficulties and assists expectoration.' 'Its principal employment as a separate remedy is in acute catarrhal affections, and in dyspepsia attended with relaxation and debility, given in small, warm and frequently repeated doses. It is, however, seldom given alone, but most frequently preferred in combination with other medicines of a similar nature.' 'It is best given in the form of decoction, the dose being a small teaspoonful, three times a day.' 'The root used not only to be candied and eaten as a sweetmeat, but lozenges were made of it. It has been employed in whooping-cough. It is sometimes employed in the form of a confection for piles, 1 oz. of powdered root being mixed with 2 oz. of honey.' 'In the United States, it has also been highly recommended, both for external use and internal administration in diseases of the skin, an old use of the root that has maintained its reputation for efficacy.' 'Externally applied, it is somewhat rubefacient, and has been employed as an embrocation in the treatment of sciatica, facial and other neuralgia.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Elecampane is an aromatic stimulant and tonic, and is said to be expectorant, emmenagogue, diuretic, and diaphoretic. It is much used in chronic pulmonary affections, weakness of the digestive organs, hepatic torpor, atonic dyspepsia, with flatus, and internally and externally in tetter, itch, and other cutaneous diseases.' 'Inula is somewhat slow in action, and should be used for quite a time to get its full action. That it is an important remedy in irritation of the trachea and bronchiae is now well established. It is adapted to cases with free and abundant expectoration, teasing cough, and pain beneath the sternum, conditions frequent in la grippe, and the severer forms of colds.' American Materia Medica, 1919 (Ellingwood): 'The direct tonic influence of inula seems to be exercised also upon the respiratory tract after protracted disease promoting recovery. It lessens excessive bronchial secretion controls the night sweats and imparts real tone and strength.' 'Hare says that inula has an actively astringent influence. Giving it during the course of cough if there be great se

Flaxseed oil contains linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid needed for survival. Flaxseed Oil also contains significant amounts of another essential fatty acid, alpha linolenic acid (ALA). ALA is an omega-3 oil. To a limited extent, the body turns ALA into EPA—an omega-3 oil found in fish oil. EPA in turn converts to 3-series prostaglandins.
