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.
Dandelion
Dandelion is widely considered an invasive, unattractive weed, but must be
regarded as a Godsend to the manufacturers of lawn herbicides. While the
dandelion's efficacy in destroying a perfect green, carpeted lawn is
undisputed, its efficacy for health matters is - or should be - of greater
interest.
Dandelion has widely been used in foods, wines,
beverages, and health preparations of all kinds worldwide. Its medicinal
actions seem to target the digestive and eliminative systems of the body.
Animal studies demonstrate extremely positive diuretic and bile-producing
effects whereby dandelion extracts outperform chemical drugs without the
side effects.
Unfortunately, human trials are non-existent in these
areas. Research in humans that has focused on health conditions such as
cancer and diabetes has yielded positive results. However, these positive
findings are attributed to herbal blends and, consequently, dandelion's
specific effect on these results can only be surmised.
Directions
Stir 1/4 of a teaspoon into a glass of water and consume 3 times daily, with meals.
Cautions
Do not use if you have a kidney disorder, as Boldo Leaf can cause kidney irritation.
Not intended for use by nursing or pregnant women, those with an obstruction of the liver bile duct, or severe liver disease.
Excessive use of Boldo Leaf over a long period of time (3-4 weeks continuously) is not recommended.
Discomfort due to gastric hyperacidity may occur.
In case of gallstones or obstruction of the bile ducts, gallbladder, or bile ducts seek professional medical advice before consumption.

Elizabeth: The Queen Mother: A Twentieth-Century Life
Summary A lavish celebration of Britain’s most beloved Royal, offering a fascinating look at the events of 20th-century Britain as well as an endearing portrait of the Queen Mother herself. Featuring 200 photographs.
Publisher's Notes
An enduring memorial to the Queen Mother, published within a week of her funeral
Beautifully illustrated with over 200 especially researched photographs
Punctuated throughout with photographs of the major political and social events of the 20th century
Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, died much as she had lived with dignity, grace and the minimum of fuss.
Elizabeth: The Queen Mother is a celebration of her life, providing a fascinating look at the events of the 20th century, as well as an endearing portrait of the Queen Mother herself, whose loss will be mourned beyond Britain's shores.
Grania Forbes begins with the Queen Mother's childhood, describing family life and upbringing. We see her as a fashionable young woman in the roaring twenties. We learn of the courtship of the Duke of York that led to the first marriage between a commoner and a Royal. Subsequent chapters include all the major events of her life, such as how the abdication crisis affected her and her key role in restoring the prestige of the monarchy. During World War II, the Queen Mother became an essential figurehead and morale booster. She made visits to the East End and was the first Royal to mingle with the crowds, a tactic later developed successfully by her grand daughter-in-law, Diana. We also learn about the loves of the Queen Mother's life, her family relationships, her friends, her passion for racing and her immense sense of mischief as well as her love affair with the public. Evocative photographic coverage of her funeral and the nation's mourning will serve to make this book a timely momento of a life lived to the full over 100 years.
With snippets ofinside information and quotes from other members of the Royal Family, Grania Forbes' pacy text takes one right into the heart of the home life of the monarchy.
Lavishly illustrated and written by an author close to the family for more than twenty years, Elizabeth: The Queen Mother is an enduring celebration of a magical life.
The author: Grania Forbes has spent the last 20 years observing and interviewing members of the Royal Family. She has previously written a book about the sporting Royals and collaborated with Lord Lichfield to produce the stories behind some of his most famous royal photographs. Her most recent book, My Darling Buffy, covers the early life of the Queen Mother. Her insights are based on many years of trust and co-operation from the Royal Family.
