 General Information
Psyllium is an annual herb related to the plantain; it is native to the Mediterranean regions of southern Europe, the Canary Islands, northern Africa, and as far east as western Pakistan. Widely cultivated in Pakistan, India, and parts of Europe, it is now being grown in North America as well. The plant grows low to the ground and produces small white flowers. The seeds, the only part of the plant that is used, are smooth, dull, pinkish-brown or pinkish-white ovals, varying from one-sixteenth to one-eighth of an inch long. |

 Look for salt-free herb blends for cooking. Consider using salt substitutes such as potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride. If you are on medication, be sure to ask your doctor if salt substitutes are safe for you.
3. Read labels—sodium is almost always listed. Look for products that are low-salt or reduced-sodium.
4. Go lightly on salt added during cooking and at the table. Ask restaurant chefs to do the same. If you do add salt during cooking, add it near the end?you can get away with lesser amounts!
5. Use fresh or frozen vegetables and beans instead of canned, when possible. |

 For Nausea: Ginger
Ginger can do more than just add zip to cakes and cookies; the herb, in tablet form, can also help relieve nausea.
Ginger may also help prevent motion sickness. Try drinking a cup of ginger tea thirty minutes before your next trip. To make the tea: Take a piece of fresh ginger about the size of your knuckle. Skin and dice it, and put it in a mug with a little brown sugar. Pour boiling water over the mixture and steep for five minutes. If you don't have fresh ginger, use a half-teaspoon of the powdered variety. |

Culinary Uses
Job's tears has a light and refreshing taste that is excellent either on its own ot combined with other grains, being less sticky than either rice or barley. It is best to soak it prior to use, as this will reduce the lengthy cooking time. It can also be added to long-cooking soups for body and flavor. |

Sesame seeds are sacred to the Hindu elephant deity Ganesha and are eaten to increase one's basic life force, which the Hindus believe is the hidden creative energy that accumulates at the base of the spine. At one time sesame plants were thought to grow near secret treasures or concealed doorways.

| Until recently, this perennial herb, widely cultivated in tropical regions of Asia, particularly in India, was valued primarily as a commercial item for imparting a lively yellow color and also as a part of most curry powders. In India, the Bengal variety of turmeric is preferred for dyeing purposes, and the Madras variety is preferred for flavoring purposes. The long-established image of turmeric as a commercial dyestuff and component of curry6 was partly responsible for overshadowing its importance as a medicinal herb. |

 Not only does Aura Soma's Balance match the color resonance of essential oils, herb extracts, and aroma essences with the human auric color bands, but it imparts the living energies of three kingdoms to midwife its color healing. Aura Soma brings the wavelengths of color, herbs, and gems within the same band of color vibration into the same area of the body, thereby blending their resonant wavelengths, says Booth. |

| Trying to ignore the unfamiliar aromas, I then spotted several rows of shelves loaded with every different herb combination you might imagine.
Aha, just what I need. Now if I could just find a shopping cart. As if sensing my need, the cashier silently pointed to a pile of burlap shoulder bags over by the door. Two hours and $358 later, I left with a small bag (recycled, of course) of natural products—sure to make my wife feel better. Needless to say, I have returned to the nutritional supplements that initially helped her. |

 It is one herb that even conventional medicine recognizes as safe and effective.
The medicinal effects of saw palmetto are derived primarily from fatty acids in the berries.30 It is interesting to note that saw palmetto is a member of the palm family and the berries are relatives to the coconut. Many of the fatty acids in saw palmetto berries are MCFA similar to those in coconut. Dr. Jon Kabara, an expert in lipid (fat) biochemistry, suggests that since the fatty acids in saw palmetto berries inhibit the formation of DHT hormone so should the fatty acids in coconut oil. |

| This simple domestic herb helps to alleviate the problems of constipation, distension, and discomfort in the abdominal region. The seeds have a thick outer coating of cells that abound in a viscous matter, which in hot water forms a thick mucilaginous fluid. Eating the seeds intact is useful for constipation, as the seeds swell to three times their dry volume in the intestines and encourage elimination by increasing the volume of fecal matter. |

| Make Garlic a Staple of Your Diet
Garlic is the herb of legend and myth. It is mentioned in the Bible, in Homer's Odyssey, in ancient Chinese texts, and has been found in the tombs of ancient Egyptians. Now we have dozens of scientific studies to back up the folklore claims for garlic's prowess in keeping us healthy.
While garlic may or may not work to ward off vampires, it does a great job at neutralizing three risk factors for heart disease: high blood fats, high blood pressure, and abnormal blood clotting. |

Green Tea. Chinese green tea, in particular, has well-documented cancer-fighting properties in animals and humans. Regular consumption of green tea appears to counteract the negative effects of mutagens and carcinogens released in meat cooked at high temperatures. Green tea extract inhibits malignant gastrointestinal tumors in humans. |

 Singha had combined foods, spices, and herbs; struggled to penetrate the unfamiliar concepts of Ilza Veith's translation of The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, the fundamental text of Chinese medicine; and planted an herb garden.
I also began to realize that my personal quest for new and more effective remedies was part of a larger process of questioning. Many people were discovering the limits of bio-medicine and putting its history into a broader perspective.

| Echinacea, a common Western herb that many people are now using to prevent and treat the flu, has been demonstrated to have both immune-stimulating and antiviral properties. Saw palmetto berries seem to be just as effective as prescription drugs in reducing enlarged prostate glands, but cost far less.
The failure to thoroughly investigate and make full use of the therapeutic properties of foods, herbs, and spices is sometimes attributed to the uncertainty and possible danger of using substances that cannot be precisely measured. |

 Similarly, a Rocket Juice Cranberry Echinacea drink, a "traditional herbal defense with vitamin C," is simply said to contain 100 mg of the herb; no further explanation follows. Because a 16-ounce serving of this beverage contains 2 ounces of sugar (from juice extracts) as the principal source of its 230 calories, it is difficult to view this product as anything more than yet another heavily sweetened soft drink.
The overburdened FDA has taken a dim view of such products and deals with them as best it can. |

Arginine
The amino acid arginine is involved in the production of the neurotransmitter and artery-relaxing substance nitric oxide. If you remember, Viagra has its effect through relaxing the arteries in the penis. Arginine has a similar effect on some men, although it is not as potent. Try 1,200 to 1,500 mg of L-arginine on an empty stomach. |

 Several herbs help maintain blood sugar and even attenuate the craving for sugar: gymnema sylvestre, the ancient Ayurvedic "sugar destroyer"; stevia, an Amazonian herb, which is a noncaloric sweet sugar equivalent; and fenugreek, a mild, natural blood-sugar lowerer. Garlic, too, helps lower blood sugar and has a lipid regulating effect.

| A traditional Chinese herb, ephedra, is a mainstay of asthma treatment in Chinese medicine. Typical Western herbs include pleurisy root, yerba santa, and lobelia. Ginkgo biloba, commonly thought of as an antiaging nutrient, has specific antiinflammatory effects in asthma.
Acupuncture, the ancient Chinese healing art, has been proven in numerous studies to be helpful in mitigating the symptoms of asthma. In China, departments of pulmonary medicine, while adopting modern techniques of pharmacological management, are never without the attendance of skilled acupuncturists. |

 One should be careful not to dilute the digestive juices during and after meals, although some liquid, such as in the form of herb teas, can be used after dry meals. Generally, however, it is better to drink before meals and to have the bulk of the fluid intake before breakfast. This is especially important if the digestive system is weak. I regard it as highly beneficial for the kidneys to flush them regularly with a high-volume fluid intake, such as a quart of water or diluted juice before breakfast. |
