Sage Leaf Rubbed (Salvia officinalis) 1 lb: C
|
This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Used as an infusion, extract, tincture, poultice – and spice. Red Sage is a versatile gourmet spice. It is a favorite Italian meat and poultry flavoring, and is also used in rich, butter-based pasta sauces. Sage is an overpowering, somewhat bitter spice – useful for strong barbeque-type seasonings. Medicinally, Red Sage tea has traditionally been used for inflammations of the mouth, throat and tonsils, its volatile oils soothing the mucous membranes. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Sage leaf for 'External: Inflammations of the mucous membranes of nose and throat. Internal:Dyspeptic symptoms, excessive perspiration.' 'Principal components of the essential oil, in addition to thujone, are cineol and camphor. In addition, the leaves contain tannins, diterpene bitter principles, triterpenes, steroids, flavones, and flavonoid glycosides.' 'Dosage: Internal: Daily dosage: 4 - 6 g of herb; 0.1 - 0.3 g of essential oil*; 2.5 - 7.5 g of tincture (according to Erg. B. 6); 1.5 - 3 g fluidextract (according to Erg. B. 6). For gargles and rinses: 2.5 g of herb or 2 - 3 drops of essential oil in 100 ml of water as infusion or 5 g of alcoholic extract in 1 glass water. External: Undiluted alcohol extract. 'Mode of Administration: Cut herb for infusions, alcoholic extracts and distillates for gargles, rinses and other topical applications, as well as for internal use. Also pressed juice of fresh plants. 'Actions: Antibacterial; Fungistatic; Virustatic; Astringent; Secretion-promoing; Perspiration-inhibiting.' *Essential oils must be used experimentally at first, in very small quanitites, to assure that there are no adverse reactions. It is very easy to overdose with these highly concentrated oils, and allergic reactions are possible. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Stimulant, astringent, tonic and carminative. Has been used in dyspepsia, but is now mostly employed as a condiment.' 'In the United States, where it is still an official medicine, it is in some repute, especially in the form of an infusion, the principal and most valued application of which is as a wash for the cure of affections of the mouth and as a gargle in inflamed sore throat, being excellent for relaxed throat and tonsils, and also for ulceratedthroat. The gargle is useful for bleeding gums and to prevent an excessive flow of saliva.' 'When a more stimulating effect to the throat is desirable, the gargle may be made of equal quantities of vinegar and water, ½ pint of hot malt vinegar being poured on 1 oz. of leaves, adding ½ pint of cold water.' 'The infusion when made for internal use is termed Sage Tea, and can be made simply by pouring 1 pint of boiling water on to 1 oz. of the dried herb, the dose being from a wineglassful to half a teacupful, as often as required, but the old-fashioned way of making it is m

Wild Lettuce Herb C/S (Lactuca altissima) 1 lb: C
|
This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Usedas an infusion, decoction, tincture and smoke. Wild lettuce is also called 'Lettuce Opium.' It has traditionally been used as a relaxant. Lactuca altissima, also called Lactuca quercina, is not, strictly speaking, Lactuca virosa, although the two plants are so closely related they have often been mistaken for one another by the herbal authorities over the years (http://www.inra.fr/flore-france/la-ld.htm). The sesquiterpene lactones from Lactuca altissima are chemically identical to those from Lactuca virosa. As Grieve puts it, 'All lettuces possess some of this narcotic juice, Lactuca virosa having the most, and the others in the following order: L. scariola, or Prickly Lettuce, L. altissima, L. Canadensis, or Wild Lettuce of America, and L. sativa, or Garden Lettuce.' As King's puts it, 'The most energetic lactucarium is said to be obtained from L. virosa and L. altissima.' Wild lettuce is called 'Lettuce Opium' not in the politicized modern sense, but in the medicinal 19th century way, meaning that it is a valuable nervine, anodyne, hypnotic and anti-spasmodic, useful for restlessness, sleeplessness, and hysteria in children. Also helpful with a hacking cough, and in relieving rheumatic pain. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'The Wild Lettuce grows on banks and waste places, flowering in July and August. It is cultivated in Austria, France, Germany and Scotland. Collectors cut the heads of the plants and scrape the juice into china vessels several times daily until it is exhausted. By slightly warming and tapping, it is turned out of its cup mould, is cut into quarters and dried.' 'In the United States, after importation from Germany via England it is said to be used as an adulterant for opium. It is usually found in irregular, reddish-brown lumps the size of a large pea, frequently mouldy on the outside. In the United States the German and French lactucarium is considered inferior to the British product.' 'All lettuces possess some of this narcotic juice, Lactuca virosa having the most, and the others in the following order: L. scariola, or Prickly Lettuce, L. altissima, L. Canadensis, or Wild Lettuce of America, and L. sativa, or Garden Lettuce. Cultivation has lessened the narcotic properties of the last, but it is still used for making a lotion for the skin useful in sunburn and roughness. The Ancients held the lettuce in high esteem for its cooling and refreshing properties. The Emperor Augustus attributed his recovery from a dangerous illness to it; built an altar to it, and erected a statue in its honour.' 'Lactucarium is not easily powdered, and is only slightly soluble in boiling water, though it softens and becomes plastic.' 'L. virosa has been found to contain lactucic acid, lactucopicrin, 50 to 60 per cent lactucerin (lactucone) and lactucin. Lactucarium treated with boiling water and filtered is clear, but on cooling the filtrate becomes
