| Boldo Leaf (cs) - Bulk (1 lb) | |
| Boldo Leaf (Peumus Boldus) is an herb native to Chile and Peru, where it is modernly used often as a cooking spice. Excavations in those regions have actually indicated that it may well have been one of the herbs commonly used as far back as 10,000 years ago! Common mythology also says that the herb was largely ignored until a Chilean shepard found that his sheep were in better health after nibbling on Boldo leaves near his pasturage. Since then it has also become a popular variety of folk medicine in the regions of Chile and Peru. There it is used to treat liver problems, including complications involving hepatitis, bladder infections, and gallstones. Some herbalists also explore Boldo Leaf as a useful alternative as a mild laxative that can help relieve gastrointestinal spasms. Others also explore it as a treatment for dysmenorrhea. This is a 1 lb packet of cut Boldo Leaf. | |

| Boneset (cs) - 2 oz | |
| Contrary to what its name might imply, Boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum)is not actually used at all to mend broken bones. This name actually comes from the 'Break Bone Fever' which it was used to treat. Indeed, Boneset (also known by the common names Agueweed, Crosswort, Feverwort, Indian Sage, and sweating plant) is most traditionally known for its use in the treatment of fevers. From Native American lore to modern herbalism, Boneset is popularly used in treating colds, flu symptoms, and all fevers. In case of loss of appetite it is also sometimes taken as a hot tea prior to eating. Indeed, it is perhaps most commonly prescribed in tea-form though there have been reports that it can be difficult to ingest in this manner, and that cold infusions are less bitter. This is a 2 oz packet of cut Boneset. | |

| Borage Leaf (cs) - 2 oz | |
| Also known as starflower and Borage Officinalis, Borage originates in Syria, and has long since been naturalized in the Mediterranean, Asia Minor, Europe, North Africa, and South America. Often growing blue flowers, its petals can also take on the white and pink colors, and form the shape of a perfect five pointed star. Throughout history, the leaves however are what have stolen the attention from the beautiful flowers. They have been used in salads and as garnish extensively through Europe, and during the medieval period were sometimes used with wine in treating melancholy. Today they can still be found throughout Germany and parts of Spain and Poland as a vegetable. Borage Leaf has also been seen as a valued remedy for symptoms of PMS and Menopause, particularly when dealing with hot flashes. The leaves can also be used to make a calming tea, and are often used in Iran to make a tea that can sooth nerves and troubled spirits. Holistically it has been used as well for the treatment of arthritis, eczema, seborhic dermatitis (scaly, crusty scalp), and in some cases chest congestion (in tea form). While it has long been seen as a potent aid, some modern study has also shown that continued, persistent use of the leaf can contribute to liver issues, and that it should not be used if you are breastfeeding or pregnant. This is a 2 oz packet of cut Borage Leaf. | |

| Bromelain Powder - 1 oz | |
| Most frequently classified as an herb by those who use it, Bromelain powder actually consists of a digestive enzyme that is extracted from the Pineapple plant. Derived both from the stem and fruit of the plant, it is a fascinating discovery that is receiving a lot of attention from herbalists and the scientific community, primarily as an aid to digestion and as an anti-inflammatory. Though further studies are required for conclusive results, it is suggested that Bromelain is quite capable of helping to reduce swelling. Some herbalists prescribe this to ease breathing conditions, as the reduced swelling can often ease air passages. It has also been shown that it does this while promoting healthy inflammatory reactions. In digestion, Bromelain powder has also demonstrated some ability to help improve the absorption of protein which can aid greatly with muscle growth. This is a 1 oz packet of Bromelain powder. | |

| Buchu Leaf Powder - 1 oz | |
| Native to South Africa and possessing a scent similar to Pepperment, Buchu Leaf (Barosma Betulina) has been in popular use since the 16th century. Within the perfume industry its scent is frequently used for to create potent Pepperment scented fragrances. It is also sometimes used to create artificial flavors for Alcoholic drinks, desserts, and condiments. It has been suggested that originally it was used in Africa as an insect repellant, though later European use made it a popular hang over cure. Modern herbalists, though still recommending it as a hangover remedy, still use it as it was during the 16th century, using it to treat kidney, urinary, and prostate problems. This is due to its evident ability to aid in treating both inflammation and infection. This is a 1 oz packet of Buchu Leaf powder. | |
