Red Clover
Red clover is a multi-stemmed perennial that thrives in humid, grassy
meadows throughout the world. It is much larger than its familiar
relative, white clover, which is the low-growing, and vigorously spreading
lawn weed. Both, however, exhibit a similar "trifolium" (three
leaf) pattern and white arrowhead-shaped leaf markings. It is the compact,
pink flower tops of the red clover plant that are dried and used
medicinally - as they have been for centuries.
The expectorant and
anti-spasmodic properties of red clover justify its use for repiratory
conditions like asthma and bronchitis. It has also been used externally
for skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. The concentrated
isoflavones within red clover have been the subject of many studies, and
research suggests benefits for menopausal symptoms as well as cancer and
cardiovascular disorders.
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.
Buckthorn (Alder)
Buckthorn, or alder, is a tall shrub native to northern Europe. The bark
of alder buckthorn is removed, cut into small pieces, and dried for one
year before being used medicinally.
Buckthorn has been used as a
cathartic laxative in Northern and Central Europe for centuries. It is
still widely used today for constipation and resulting conditions such as
hemorrhoids and anal fissures. Buckthorn stimulates contractions of the
colon (peristalsis) and increases water content during stool
formation.
A closely related shrub, cascara sagrada, is more widely
known in North America due to its origins and cultivation on the Pacific
coast of Canada and the United States.
Burdock
Burdock root, native to Asia and Europe, is the primary source of many
herbal preparations. It as a popular root vegetable in Japanese markets
(called "gobo") and has been used for centuries as a staple in
traditional Chinese medicine for conditions like tonsillitis and
measles.
Historically, Burdock root has also been administered for
conditions such as gout, ulcers, arthritis, rheumatism, and various skin
disorders.
While studies have been limited to animals and in vitro,
the active constituents of burdock have shown anti-bacterial properties
making it useful for bacteria-related conditions such as acne, eczema, and
psoriasis. Additional test results have confirmed actions associated with
blood purification, toxic immunity, hypoglycemia, and inflammation.

Galactic Alignment: The Transformation of Consciousness according to Mayan, Egyptian and Vedic Traditions
Publisher's Notes Explores the central role played by the galaxy in both ancient and modern times in the transformation of the human spirit. * Extends Jenkins' groundbreaking research in Maya Cosmogenesis 2012. * Reveals how the coming Galactic Alignment of era-2012 promises a renewal of human consciousness. * Uncovers the galactic vision of Mayan, Egyptian, Greek, and Vedic cosmologies.
The Galactic Alignment is a rare astronomical event that brings the solstice sun into alignment with the center of the Milky Way galaxy every 12,960 years. Building on the discoveries of his book Maya Cosmogenesis 2012, Jenkins demonstrates that the end-date of 2012 does not signal the end of time but rather the beginning of a new stage in the development of human consciousness. He recovers a striking common thread that connects the ancient cosmological insights of the Maya not only to Egyptian thought and Vedic philosophy but also to the diversity of humankind's metaphysical traditions ranging from Celtic sacred topography and Medieval alchemy to the Kabbalah and Islamic astrology. His work presents us with a groundbreaking synthesis of lost wisdom once common to ancient cosmologies that will help us understand the significance of this transformative cosmic milestone.
