Guest guest Posted June 1, 2002 Report Share Posted June 1, 2002 Taking this list apart would be a useful exercise. That said, i tend to give Kloss somewhat less credibility than many other writers. I know nothing about some of these, but will comment on the ones i know well, in relation to this. Actually there are many things that tend to stimulate the appetite. chamomile -- tends to be a relaxant, helps sleep, counters some allergies, and so can have a side effect of stimulating appetite. gentian root -- digestive stabilizer. It is one of the main ingredients of Angostura bitters, which are commonly available in most parts of the former British Empire. ginseng -- the " cure-all " . In Chinese medicine, ginseng has been used for thousands of years to help just about any condition. I would recommend that, if the poor appetite is also present with a general lack of energy, this would be appropriate. goldenseal -- i disagree with this use of it. This herb is mainly valuable for fighting infections, and at this point is one of the few things in the world that will fight viral infections. But using it as an appetite stimulant would be incorrect. strawberry -- not sure how this would work to stimulate appetite. Some people are allergic to this fruit. It is high in Vitamin C, like its relative Rose Hips. (I would not expect either of these to be avialable in Pakistan.) wormwood -- very potent, and dangerous. Hannah Kroger recommended it against liver parasites. In some cases, these will depress appetite, but usually the effect of parasites is to increase appetite, especially for sugar and other unwholesome foods. marjoram -- this is a spice. Most spices will help increase appetite. I rarely use this alone in cooking. It blends well in Italian dishes. Here is a short list of other spices that are good for increasing appetite, along with other properties when known. Sometimes people don't want to eat simply because the available food tastes lousy. This is why spices are used in the first place. Oregano -- anti-infection Rosemary -- mild anti-infection Cardamom Coriander Fennel -- settles the digestive system Thyme Cardamom and Coriander are produced in Pakistan, i believe. They are often used as ingredients in curry powders.
