Dear All,

 

<P>I'm still new to the " posting on a list game " and accidently put attachments

on my posts yesterday which caused them to be blank in the daily digest. & nbsp;

I'm reposting this one again as it clears up some misconceptions having

to do with the following herbs.

 

<P>Best regards,

 

<P>Ian

 

<P>PS. & nbsp; Hi Hilarie, welcome to the list hon.

 

<P>White Willow Bark

 

<P>(Potter's New Cyclopaedia) Tonic, antiperiodic (preventing the return

of those diseases which recur such as malaria), astringent. & nbsp; Has been

used with benefit in febrile (fever) diseases of rheumatic or gouty origin,

also in diarrhoea & amp; dysentery.

 

<P>(New Age Herbalist) & nbsp; Main uses - fevers & amp; arthritis

 

<P>(Prescription for Nutritional Healing) & nbsp; Relieves pain. & nbsp; Good

for headache, backache, nerve pain, toothache, and injuries. & nbsp;

(Caution: & nbsp;

May interfere with absorption of iron and other minerals when taken internally.)

 

<P>Valerian

 

<P>(Potter's New Cyclopedia) Anodyne (pain-easing), antispasmodic,

nervine. & nbsp;

May be given in all cases of nervous debility & amp; irritation. & nbsp; Also

in hysterical affections. & nbsp; It allays pain and promotes sleep. & nbsp;

It is strongly nervine without any narcotic affects.

 

<P>(Complete Medicinal Herbal) Nature's tranquilizer, valerian calms the

nerves without the side effects of comparable orthodox drugs. & nbsp; It

has a distinctive, rather unpleasant smell & amp; was aptly called " phu "

by the Green physician Galen.

 

<P>(New Age Herbalist) Nervous tension, insomnia, headache.

 

<P>(Prescription for Nutritional Healing) Improves circulation and acts

as a sedative. & nbsp; Reduces mucus from colds. & nbsp; Good for anxiety,

fatigue, high blood pressure, insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome, menstrual

cramps, muscle cramps, nervousness, pain, spasms, stress & amp; ulcers.

 

<P>St. John's Wort

 

<P>(Potter's & nbsp; New Cyclopedia) Slightly astringent, expectorant,

diuretic. & nbsp;

Useful in coughs, colds & amp; all lung diseases generally. & nbsp; It is

highly esteemed in affections of the urinary passages.

 

<P>(New Age Herbalist) Cuts, burns, neuralgia, depression. & nbsp; Has an

ancient reputation for warding off witchcraft, which may be due to the

plant's wide range of medicinal uses. & nbsp; It is effective as a compress

for dressing wounds. & nbsp; In the Middle Ages, it was commonly used to

heal deep sword cuts. & nbsp; More recently, German research confirms the

plant's antibacterial action. & nbsp; The oil extracted by macerating the

flowers in vegetable oil is excellent applied externally for neuralgia

and can ease the pain of sciatica. & nbsp; This oil is also soothing for

burns since it lowers the temperature of the skin and it is said to heal

gastritis and stomach ulcers. & nbsp; St. John's Wort is also diuretic in

helping to eliminate waste materials from the body. & nbsp; Because of this

an infusion is recommended for gout and arthritis. & nbsp; The herb is used

as an expectorant for treating bronchitis and a major use is to calm the

nervous system and treat depression, particularly during menopause. & nbsp;

The tea also eases menstrual cramps.

 

<P>(Prescription for Nutritional Healing) May help inhibit viral infections,

including HIV and herpes. & nbsp; Good for depression and nerve pain. & nbsp;

(Caution: & nbsp; When taken internally in large amounts, can cause heightened

sun sensitivity, especially in fair-skinned people. & nbsp; Also interferes

with the absorption of iron and other minerals.)
