A specific remedy in homeopathy for relief of extreme tension, especially in the neck & shoulders. Keep a little Agrimony in your workspace to relieve conflicts with co-workers. An infusion makes a good soak for drawing out splinters. The tea protects against viral infections including Hep B, and supports the liver function.
A lovely tea by itself or in combination with other herbs. Alfalfa is very nourishing, and helps to support healthy digestive function. Increases saliva & is said to correct the pH levels in the stomach, so is good for those with hyperacidity. Good source of Iron & other minerals.
Alkanet root powder
English herbalists of the 19th century steeped Alkanet in wine to make a treatment for depression. Some modern herbalists use Alkanet as a cough & colds remedy. Its content of rosmarinic acid is antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory & antioxident. The root makes a gorgeous red dye for fabrics & for coloring lip balms.
Allspice, whole
Certified Organic. (Pimenta dioica) gets its name from the unique combination of aromas, a blending of the tastes of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg with just a little peppery heat. Frequently used with cardamom, cinnamon, and/or green tea. Perfect addition to pound cake, I also like to include it in my Peach Cordial. 2 ounce bag
Angelica Root
is the European cousin of Dong-Quai. Sweet, warming & nourishing, relieves loss of appetite & spasms in the digestive system. Angelica is a good remedy for colds, and to treat the pain of hacking cough. It is effective for menstrual cramps, & can help to strengthen thinning vaginal tissue in menopausal women. Soothing treatment for urinary tract infections.
Annatto seed
Primarily used for its color, Annato seed makes a good plant dye for natural fibers, yielding a range of reds and oranges. A newly discovered health benefit of annatto is its antioxidant properties, which protect DNA from mutations induced by UV light, superoxides, or peroxides, hence its inclusion in skin care products. 3 oz bag
whole pods, organically grown. There has been some speculation that this herb may be quite helpful in treatment of the much-talked-about avian flu. Here’s hoping! Make your own tincture or add it to your teas.
Arnica Flowers
Great for infusing in oils to make massage oils or salves for sore & achy muscles. I infuse in alcohol to make a rubbing linament, too. You could add to bath teas for the same purpose. Even helps to prevent bruising. Arnica should not be used internally except for homeopathic arnica.
A naturally powdered root starch. Certified organic in Oregon, this powder is suitable for use in cooking or cosmetic products. Makes a beautiful, silky body powder! Scent lightly with your choice of essential oils, and voila!
Artemisia
All Artemisias are sacred to the goddess, Artemis, for whom they are named. We have several varieties available. Look under Mugwort for Artemisia vulgaris, and look under Wormwood for Artemisia annua.
