Boldo
Boldo leaf is native to the Andean regions of Chile and Peru and is
currently cultivated in Morocco for the distribution to North American and
European markets. Boldo leaf has been used, medicinally, in South America
in the treatment of liver ailments, such as hepatitis and jaundice.
Historically, boldo has been used for a wide variety of disorders from
intestinal problems to gonorrhea, but it has principally played a role in
the treatment of disorders involving the liver, gallbladder, and
gastrointestinal tract. The German Commission E has approved the use of
boldo for the treatment of dyspepsia (discomfort of upper GI tract) as
well as for stomach and intestinal cramps.
Gentian
Named after king Gentius in the first century BC, gentian was highly
regarded for it's supposed ability to reduce fevers. Modern research has
confirmed that the bitter nature of gentian is responsible for it active
properties. For centuries, gentian, or `bitter root' as it is also known,
has been used by herbalists as a digestive aid. Today, gentian is
prescribed as a non-irritating digestive tonic addressing
gastro-intestinal complaints of all sorts. Its action starts in the mouth
as one of the most bitter constituents known to man, amarogentin,
encourages salivary secretions that begin the digestive process. Gentian
offers anti-inflammatory properties and studies have revealed that it also
provides gallbladder and liver support. Most digestive-related complaints
may be eased with gentian, or formulas that include gentian, such as
`Swedish bitters'.

Bangkok, Vol. 1
Publisher's Notes Bangkok, by American author William Warren, describes how the charms of the city and its people outweigh the disadvantages of pollution, traffic, and stifling heat. It also portrays celebrities like the early kings of Thailand's present dynasty and Anna Leonowens, heroine of "The King and I," as well as Jim Thompson, the U.S.-born silk entrepreneur and art collector who mysteriously vanished in the jungles of Malaysia. Bangkok provides a much needed history of the city, but is also imbued with the warmth of Warren's love affair with its frenetic way of life.
William Warren was born in the southern U.S. He has lived in Bangkok since 1959, and has written many books on Thailand, from gardens to Thai arts, crafts, and cuisine, and a biography of Jim Thompson.
