| Goldenseal plant |
| Goldenseal Goldenseal is sometimes called themillion dollar plant both because of its usefulless & its expense. It is one of the most expense herbs costing up to $100. per pound. One of the oldest herbal remedies, goldenseal has been over harvested in the wild. Either grow it yourself or buy it from a reputable dealer, but don't gather it in the wild. Goldenseal is best propagated by root cuttings taken in the spring or fall. It is very hard to grow from seed. Grow in rich soil & shade as it is a woodland plant.. Harvest the plants in the third year in the fall. After drying, the roots can be powdered or left whole. |
| Echinacea Echinacea is easily grown from seed. It's common name is purple coneflower. All parts of the plant are useful, but the roots are the most potent. Harvest in the fall of the second year of growth. Dig & dry the roots. A dehydrater makes this easy & only costs about $20.00. Most discount department stores carry them. Once dried, store the roots in an airtight jar(a canning jar works well) away from direct light. |
| Echinacea boosts the immune system,fights bacterial & viral infections. It also shortens the duration & sometimes prevents altogether colds & flu. At the first sign of a cold,etc. begin taking every 4 hours until the symptoms are gone. If taking capsules use 2 up to 5 times a day. With extract 2 to 4 droppersful up to 5 times a day. Do not take continuoly as it seems to lose its effectiveness. |

| Cayenne or Capsicum |
| Uses for Cayenne Soothes stomach discomfort Relieves symptoms of colds Reduces inflammation Is a mild stimulant Will stanch the blood flow from a cut. Just sprinkle some directly on the wound. This herb is used in many combinations. |
| You wouldn't expect that an herb so hot could really help with stomach problems but this is the case with cayenne.I have used it a lot in the place of anacids. It contains papain which actually helps heal beginning ulcers. Cayenne is a catalyst which means when used with other herbs it actually helps them to work better. How to Use I recommend capsules as this herb will burn your mouth. It only produces a nice warmth in your stomach, however. Take 1 to 3 caps daily or as needed. |
