| Marshmallow Root Powder - 2 oz | |
| Having been used since ancient times, Marshmallow root was originally used throughout the Mediterranean region before spreading widely to most of the rest of the world. Varieties of Marshmallow root were used in food by the Chinese and Ancient Egyptians, as well as in many of the countries of the Balkan region of Europe. The ancients revered the root for its healing properties, with many writing of its ability to help prevent illness and disease, while still others of the ancient world would use it to decorate the grave of deceased loved ones. Today it is also often used as a cleaning product, often favored for cleaning expensive Persian carpets as it will not harm the vegetable dyes used to create the colors within the fine fabrics. In modern spiritual practice, Marshmallow root is also believed to help attract good spirits. Modern herbalists typically prescribe Marshmallow root for use in gargles intended to treat sore throats. This began in ancient Egypt and continues today, with varieties of methods also being used in France that included egg whites and rose water for flavoring. This French variety evolved into the modern Marshmallow, which actually contains no marshmallow root at all! This is a 2 oz packet of Marshamollow root powder. | |

| Milk Thistle Seeds (wh) - 2 oz | |
| This plant is native to the Mediterranean and grows wild throughout Europe, North America and Australia. Milk Thistle has been used in Europe as a remedy for liver problems for thousands of years. Its use was recorded in the first century (AD 23-79), noting that the plant was excellent for protecting the liver. Early Christian tradition dedicated milk thistle to Mary, calling it Marian thistle. In the 19th century the Eclectics used the herb for varicose veins, menstrual difficulty, and congestion in the liver, spleen and kidneys. Milk thistle has also been taken to increase breast-milk production, stimulate the secretion of bile, and as a treatment for depression. Milk thistle nutritionally supports the liver`s ability to maintain normal liver function. It has shown positive effects in treating nearly every known form of liver disease, including cirrhosis, hepatitis, necroses, and liver damage due to drug and alcohol abuse. Milk thistle works due to its ability to inhibit the factors responsible for liver damage, coupled with the fact it stimulates production of new liver cells to replace old damaged ones. Milk thistle has been proven to protect the liver from damage. The detrimental effects of environmental toxins, alcohol, drugs and chemotherapy may be countered with this valuable herb. The active chemical component in the herb is silybin, which functions as an antioxidant and is one of the most potent liver protective agents known. Clinical trials have proven silybin to be effective in treating chronic liver diseases and in protecting the liver from toxic chemicals. An injection of silybin is a proven antidote for poisoning with the Deathcap mushroom (Amanita phalloides). Silybin is a part of the chemical structure of the flavoligan silymarine. Milk thistle`s hepatoprotective effects may be explained by its function of altering the liver cell membrane structure, blocking the absorption of toxins into the cells. Hepatoprotection by silymarin can also be attributed to its ability to increase the intracellular concentration of glutathione, a substance required for detoxicating reactions in liver cells. Milk thistle is also an antioxidant that is more potent than vitamins C and E. | |

| Mistletoe Powder - 2 oz | |
| Valued in mythology throughout Europe and magical lore, Mistletoe, or Viscum album, is still valued in modern herbalism. In Greece it was believed to be the Golden Bough of Aeneas while further north, the Norse believed it to be Mistletoe that killed Baldr, who was the god of light and beauty. Within Celtic and druidic beliefs, mistletoe is often considered a cure for barrenness in animals, and even a cure for poison. Interestingly, the berries of Mistletoe are, in fact, toxic. In later years, Christians adapted the mythology of Mistletoe within the belief that Mistletoe was a tree used to furnish the cross, and it then shriveled after the crucifixion, becoming a parasitic vine. Magical lore has maintained however that in spells and rituals mistletoe can be used to produce an aphrodisiac effect, or aid in fertility and love. Many also believe that it is quite useful as a sacred form of protection, that can help produce prophetic visions. Modern herbalism`s high regard for powdered Mistletoe holds that it can be useful in treating hypertension and epilepsy. The circulatory and respiratory systems are also treated using the powder, as well as headaches, menstrual problems, and hemorrhages. This is a 2 oz packet of Mistletoe powder. | |
