• Traditionally used to help support bloating, colds and chills, diarrhea, digestion, headaches, inflammation, menstruation problems, appetite and much more.
The bitter, spicy roots and rhizomes of turmeric have a favorable effect on the heart liver, lungs, and digestion. Turmeric plays a versatile role in herbal health with emmenagogic, aromatic stimulant, cholagogic, alterative, analgesic, astringent, and antiseptic actions confirmed in laboratory studies. It is most often prescribed for complaints such as menstrual irregularities, gallstones, liver health, and digestion and assimilation. Externally, turmeric root is applied to skin to facilitate the rejuvenating of bruises and injuries.
One teaspoon of powdered turmeric root can be taken twice daily to help regulate the menstruation or to help avoid or lessen PMS symptoms. This is because it seems to activate gently the liver function that helps to regulate and balance the hormones. This same product can be useful in helping to lower blood sugar for the support for blood sugar level concerns.
It is also an important aid in helping to help avoid and dissolve gallstones, and in supporting a healthy liver. It can help promote digestion and assimilation and as such is combined with other condiments such as coriander and cumin seeds to form the basis of Indian curry powders.
Turmeric promotes blood circulation and has anti-inflammatory properties, which make it particularly useful for the support for bruises and injuries. For this, it can be combined with other blood-moving and stimulant herbs to make an effective external oil or liniment.
Turmeric Root is also known by the name Curcuma. The plant is native to Southern Asia. The genus name Curcuma is from an Arabic word "kurkum," meaning "saffron," in reference to the color of Turmeric. The actual word Turmeric is from the Medieval Latin "terra merita," meaning "deserving earth."
In India, women with lovely, velvety skin often attribute it to consuming Turmeric. The parts of this plant used for health benefits are the rhizome and the root. Turmeric is a close relative to Ginger Root, and can be used as a dye and a cooking spice in India and other Asian countries. It has been used traditionally for the potential to help support symptoms of jaundice and other liver ailments, skin irritations, bloating, various skin problems, sprains, strains, bruises, inflammation of the joints, cold and coughs and colds, preserving food, and promoting digestion.
Native peoples of the Pacific sprinkled the dust on their shoulders during ceremonial dances, and used it for numerous medical problems ranging from constipation to skin problems. The inhalation of smoke from burning Turmeric is said to help support "hysterical fits." The potential properties of this herb are cholagogue, hepatic, stomachic, carminative, anti-inflammatory, and disinfectant. The primary chemical constituents of Turmeric Root include curcumin (yellow pigment) essential oil (artumerone, zingberene, borneol), valepotriates, alkaloids, and protein.
Modern interest in Turmeric began in 1971 when Indian researchers found evidence suggesting that the herb may possess anti-inflammatory properties. Curcumin was later found to possess potential antioxidant properties. Evidence also suggests that Turmeric is an herb that stimulates the gallbladder. Turmeric helps to stabilize the body's microflora, thus inhibiting yeast overgrowth. It also sensitizes the body's cortisol receptor sites, and its anti-inflammatory properties are considered at least equal to those of cortisones. Turmeric can be used to help support blood platelet aggregation that can lead to dangerous blood clots. Turmeric Root also helps to protect the liver, and is excellent for those exposed to toxic chemicals. Turmeric is also anti-mutagenic, and helps protect the body from mutagens such as smoke and other pollutants.
Studies on Turmeric have verified that the herb possesses cholagogue-type substances which increase the secretions of bile. It has also been suggested that Turmeric lowers blood cholesterol and helps with weight loss. Recent investigations suggest that curcuminoids may be active in the support for symptoms related to compromised immunity levels, this is presumably connected with the cytotoxicity of these substances, which has been demonstrated on cell cultures. Past topical applications of this herb may include its use as a poultice for athlete's foot, bruises, psoriasis, swellings, and wounds.

Peppermint is also known by the names Mint, Balm Mint, Curled Mint, Lamb Mint, and Brandy Mint. The plant is found throughout Europe, in moist areas, along stream banks and in waste lands. Mint is one of the most ancient of all health herbs. Ancient Athenians would rub the leaves of mint on their arms to improve their endurance. The Greeks and Romans crowned themselves with Peppermint at their feasts, and adorned their tables with its sprays. They also flavored both their sauces and their wines with its essence. Two species of mint were used for health benefits by the ancient Greek physicians, but some writers doubt whether either was the modern Peppermint, though there is evidence that Mentha piperita was cultivated by the Egyptians. It is mentioned in the Icelandic Pharmacopoeias of the thirteenth century, but only came into general use in the medicine of Western Europe about the middle of the eighteenth century. Today, the United States is the most important producers of Peppermint and Peppermint oil. The primary chemical constituents of Peppermint include essential oils (menthol, menthone, methyl acetate, limonene, pulegone), tannins, flavonoids, choline, and potassium. Peppermint leaves contain about 0.5-4% volatile oil that is composed of 50-78% free menthol and 5-20% menthol combined with other constituents.
Peppermint is an excellent carminative, having a relaxing effect on the muscles of the digestive system, combats flatulence, and stimulates bile and digestive juice flow. It can be used to help support intestinal colic, flatulent dyspepsia and associated complaints. The volatile oil in Peppermint acts as a mild anesthetic to the stomach wall, which allays feelings of nausea and the desire to vomit. This herb has long been known to help support nausea and vomiting of pregnancy, and travel sickness. Peppermint can also be used in supporting complaints of the bowels. It is a traditional support for fevers, colds and digestion. As an inhalant, this herb is used as temporary support for nasal catarrh. Where headaches are associated with digestion, Peppermint may help. As a nervine, it supports anxiety and tension. In painful menstrual periods, it supports the pain and eases associated tension. Externally, it can be used to help support itching, inflammations, and a variety of respiratory complaints. Peppermint oil is also a great expectorant.
Most people are acquainted with this elegant vegetable and its green stalks and tender sweet tips. However, it is the underground roots and rhizomes that are dried and used for health benefits. Research supports the use of asparagus root primarily for complaints of the urinary tract and kidneys, largely on the basis of animal studies that indicate it functions as a mild diuretic. This means it draws fluid out of the body by increasing urination. Because of this action, asparagus root may be beneficial in several complaints associated with the kidneys and urinary tract.

Horehound is also known by the names Hoarhound and Marrubium. Horehound is a perennial plant with small white flowers found growing in the wild throughout Europe and Asia. The genus name Marrubium is thought to be derived from "marrob," the Hebrew word for "bitter juice." It is believed that Horehound was one of the original bitter herbs of the Jewish Passover tradition. The common name, Horehound, is from the old English "har hune," meaning "downy plant." The part of this plant used for health benefits is the above ground portion.
Horehound was reportedly first used by the physician Galen in ancient Rome, who recommended it as a therapy for coughs and other respiratory ailments. Like Galen, Nicholas Culpepper, the 17th-century English chemist, commented that it was helpful for a cough, and was also useful in helping remove stubborn phlegm from the lung. Similarly, Eclectic physicians of the 19th century remarked on its value as a useful plant not only for coughs and asthma, but also in menstrual complaints. Horehound was used by Navaho Indians to help a woman through childbirth. Horehound is an anti-spasmodic and a stimulant.
The primary chemical constituents of Horehound include essential oil (pinene, limonene, camphene), diterpene liquids (marrubinol, marruciol, silareol), sterols, saponins, bitter lactone, alkaloids (betonicine, stachydine), tannin, mucilage, bitter principle (marrubin), and vitamin C. It has a relaxing effect on heart tissue and can be used by some herbalists as a circulatory tonic to help support healthy blood pressure levels. It also acts on the hormonal system and will normalize heavy or scanty menstruation. Horehound is valuable in supporting coughs and colds. It combines the action of relaxing the smooth muscles of the bronchus while promoting mucus production, and thus expectoration. This herb has been used in supporting whooping cough. The bitter action stimulates the flow and secretion of bile from the gall-bladder, thereby aiding digestion. Horehound can also be used externally to promote the rejuvenating of wounds, irritated skin, shingles and dog bites. The essential oils in Horehound help dilate the arteries and support lung congestion. The extreme bitterness helps as a disinfectant. Horehound increases circulation to the lungs, expels mucus, and cools infection.
