Burdock Seed (Arctium lappa; Niu Bang Zi) 5:1 Extract Powder 100 gm: V

$21.20

Used as an infusion, decoction, extract, tincture and ointment. For skin problems, the decoction is used both internally and externally. Burdock is also used as a skin ointment. The presence of high amounts of inulin and mucilage may explain Burdocks soothing effects on the skin and gastrointestinal tract. As King's puts it: 'Skin diseases, depending upon a depraved state of the cutaneous tissues and less upon the state of the blood itself, are conditions in which lappa has gained a reputation. It has been particularly praised in psoriasis, its use being long-continued to produce good results.' Bitter constituents in the root may also explain the traditional use of burdock to improve appetite and digestion. The herb seems to act by encouraging bile secretion, an hepatoprotective action that helps the body process water-insoluble fats. Burdock has been shown to reduce liver damage in animal studies. It also contains polyacetylenes that have been shown to have anti-microbial activity. Burdock root and fruit also have the ability to mildly lower blood sugar (hypoglycemic effect). Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Alterative, diuretic and diaphoretic.' 'One of the best blood purifiers. In all skin diseases, it is a certain remedy and has effected a cure in many cases of eczema, either taken alone or combined with other remedies, such as Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla.' 'The root is principally employed, but the leaves and seeds are equally valuable.' 'Both root and seeds may ... [Read more]

Mustard Seed - White (Sinapis alba; Bai Jie Zi) 5:1 Extract Powder 100 gm: V

$21.80

Mustard seed is, obviously, the basis of your own homemade gourmet mustard. It also an invaluable addition to many sauces, stews, chutneys, breads and casseroles. Mustard is usually made with crushed or ground mustard seeds, vinegar, and wine. Honey or sugar are often added for sweetness, herbs and spices to taste. Tarragon is a frequent addition to mustard recipes, as is turmeric, which gives a bright yellow color. 'Mustard' refers to several Brassica species that are valued for their spicy and pungent dried seeds. Native to Eurasia, the species is widely cultivated in Europe and North America. Black mustard is Brassica nigra, also called Sinapis nigra. Brown mustard is Brassica juncea, also called Sinapis juncea. White mustard is Brassica alba, also called Sinapis alba. The pungency of white mustard (Sinapis alba) is stable, and does not diminish over time, whereas the pungency of black musatard (Sinapis nigra), although initially stronger than that of white mustard, diminishes upon long standing due to hydrolysis. Black mustard seeds, therefore, are used for strong and spicy mustards, and are understood to have a shorter shelf-life than mustard made from white seeds. Brown or Sarepta mustard (Sinapis juncea) is also called Indian mustard and Russian mustard. Due to the relative ease with which it is mass produced, Brown mustard is the most commonly found Western mustard seed. It furnishes a fine, yellow flour.

Fenugreek Seed (Trigonella foenum-graecum; Hu Lu Ba) 5:1 Extract Powder 100 gm: V

$18.00

Whole or ground fenugreek (foenum-graecum is Latin for 'Greek hay') is traditional in Mediterranean and Indian cooking, found in most Indian curries and chutneys. A favourite Indian dish is 'methi aloo' or pan-fried potatoes flavoured with fenugreek. It is also a basic Indian pickling spice. Fenugreek is also sprouted and used in salads, providing an excellent source of Vitamin E. Fenugreek's steroidal saponins account for many of its beneficial effects, particularly the inhibition of cholesterol absorption and synthesis. The seeds are rich in dietary fiber, which may be the main reason they can lower blood sugar and cholersterol levels. This remarkable property has been confirmed in more than one modern study. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Fenugreek seed for 'Internal: Loss of appetite. External: As poultice for local inflammation.' 'Side Effects: Repeated external applications can result in undesirable skin reactions. 'Dosage: Internal: 6 g drug; equivalent preparations. External: 50 g powdered drug with liter water. Mode of Administration: Liniments in the form of alcoholic solutions, ointments, gels, emulsions, oils. Also bath additive and as an inhalant.' 'Actions: Secretolytic; Hyperemic; Mild antiseptic.' Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'In Cairo it is used under the name of Helba.

This is a potent 5 to 1 powdered extract, meaning that one gram of extract is equal in potency to 5 grams of herb. This extract is packed in Plum Flower Brand's nitrogen-flushed, safety-sealed dispenser bottle, a sample of which is pictured above. Plum Flower is one of the most distinguished herb houses in the world. This is a pure herbal product with no additives. Extracted from sulfur-free and chlorine-free herbs for superior quality. Manufactured in a low-temperature water extraction process to preserve herb integrity. Extracted essential oils are replenished for proper potency. Strict quality control testing to ensure microbiological and heavy metal safety. Only powdered herb added to maintain purity (no artificial fillers such as lactose, cellulose or starch used).

Plum Flower takes great care to preserve delicate herbal oils, which are first evaporated using either a water or water-alcohol base in a process that never exceeds 100 centigrade. Sealed vacuum chargers precisely control the temperature, ensuring that none of the oils are lost. Cheaper, high-temperature methods are common industry practice, but these tend to burn off the vital oils.

Radish Seed (Raphanus sativus; Lai Fu Zi) 5:1 Extract Powder 100 gm: V

$18.00

The Chinese radish is also known as daikon, Japanese radish, Oriental radish, winter radish and black radish. The black radish tuber is, oddly enough, white. Chinese radish originated in the Orient, as did the common spring or summer radish. Chinese radishes have extremely large roots , some weighing up to 100 pounds. Most are in the 10-20 pound class at full maturity. These big, late maturing radishes were known in Europe much earlier than the smaller kinds. Chinese radishes grown in Florida vegetable garden soils often reach 20 or more pounds. Unlike spring radishes, this type of radish is usually cooked rather than eaten fresh. In Asia, larger daikon type radishes are important sources of food. They are cooked in various ways and preserved by pickling or drying. From one variety or another, the leaves, stems, flowering shoots, seed pods, seeds, sprouts, and roots are eaten. Powdered radish root can be conveniently substituted for fresh radish in most recipes. Raw radishes contain large amounts of diatase, an enzyme that aids in the digestion of starches. Maybe that's why the Japanese always serve radishes with rice dishes, and the Europeans serve radishes with breads and breakfast cereals. Radishes contain many of the same anti-oxidants and cancer fighting compounds as other members of the crucifer family, such as broccoli, cabbage and kale. They are a traditional treatment for digestive problems. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German... [Read more]

Sesame Seed - Black (Sesamum indicum; Hei Zhi Ma) 5:1 Extract Powder 100 gm: V

$18.00

Sesame seeds are available hulled or unhulled. We are probably most familiar with the milky white hulled seeds found on baked goods. Unhulled, or Natural, the seeds vary in colors such as assorted shades of brown, black and even red. Black seeds are difficult to obtain but make a most attractive garnish. To bring out their nutty flavor, toast the seeds in a small, dry skillet or for about 15 minutes in a 350 degree oven. The benne seed, as sesame is known in the South, enhances more than breads and desserts, try sprinkling the seeds over steamed vegetables or a crumb-topped casserole. Sesame is one of the most delicious, nutritious and versatile of the culinary seeds. Sesame seeds are popular the world over. Throughout Eastern Asia they are most often used toasted. The Near East likes them untoasted and dried. Mexico's complex mole poblano meat sauce numbers sesame seeds among its many ingredients (including meat stock, spices, raisins, tomatoes and cocoa). Tahini paste, made from ground dried sesame seeds, is popular throughout West Asia and the Middle East. The bread spread hummus, originated in Israel and Lebanon, made from chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice and parsley, is now a popular healthy snack the world over. The seed is diuretic, emollient, galactogogue, lenitive and tonic, and acts as a tonic for the liver and kidneys.
