Other common names: Tickweed, Squaw Mint, Stinking Balm, Thickweed, Mock Pennyroyal, Mosquito Plant, Squaw Balm, American Pennyroyal, European Pennyroyal Pennyroyal has been used for centuries to treat feverish conditions. It promotes sweat, which helps to reduce fevers and cleanse toxins from the body through the skin. The herb is also a digestive that relieves indigestion, flatulence and grumbling in the intestines (griping). History: Pennyroyal is a pungently aromatic, bitter, astringent herb. It is a member of the mint family, and exact naming of the different species has been difficult, as mints interbreed so readily. Pennyroyal is a perennial with variable growing habits and may range from a low-growing, spreading plant to a lanky upright shrub. Its leaves are bright green and exude a strong peppermint scent, and the herb prefers rich, damp, sandy soil in sun or partial shade. It is considered a weed in many places, and one of its folk names is ''Grows-in-the-Ditch.''

Other common names: Water Bugle, Gypsy Weed, Sweet Bugle, Virginia Water Horehound, Water Horehound, Gypsywort, Virginia Bugleweed Modern herbalists use Bugleweed to treat hyperthyroidism and to regulate an overactive thyroid gland. It is also used to tone the heart and stabilize rapid or irregular heartbeat, relieving nervous palpitations and strengthening the heartbeat. History: Bugleweed is a very common weed that is native to North America and is also found in Europe. From its perennial, creeping root, a smooth stem with lance-shaped leaves on short stalks rises to a height of two feet and bears clustered purple flowers. Both American Bugleweed (Lycopus virginicus/Lycopus americanus) and its European cousin (Lycopus europaeus) grow in very wet areas and are used interchangeably. The plant thrives in low, damp ground in moist-to-wet soil in sun or partial shade and flowers from July to September. Oddly, the herb's historical medicinal applications do not match its current use in today's herbal medicine. Bugleweed was officially listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia in the late nineteenth century as an effective anti-hemorrhagic and sedative, but modern herbalists regard it as a specific for an over-active thyroid gland and nervous heart palpitations. It is considered a bitter, faintly aromatic herb, and its aerial parts (above ground) are used in herbal medicine. Some of the constituents in Bugleweed include a bitter principle, lycopine, tannins, resin, essential oil, as well as caffeic-, chlorogenic-, ellagic-, rosmarinic-, lithospermic- and other acids. Beneficial Uses: Bugleweed is mainly used today to treat hyperthyroidism. The lithospermic and other organic acids are believed to be responsible for the herb's ability to decrease levels of several thyroid-stimulating hormones, notably thyroxine, that act to inhibit the binding of antibodies to the thyroid gland - the antibodies that are said to cause Graves' disease. It is thought to be particularly helpful in treating Graves' disease when there is cardiac involvement, e

Obviously our bulk bottles are bulk powder, not capsules, but the capsule weight is included to give you a way of judging the recommended dosage. Goat's Rue - Botanical Powder -- Approximately 600 mg. each capsule. 1/2 teaspoon of powder is about equal to one capsule. Powder can be consumed by sprinkling it over your food or mixing it with a syrup such as maple or chocolate. You could also mix it with orange juice. The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: French Lilac, French Honeysuckle, Italian Fitch, ''Pestilenzkraut'' Goat's Rue had been used for centuries to lower fevers and expel worms, but later research discovered that the herb also had the ability to increase milk production and encourage breast development. Moreover, Goat's Rue is apparently able to reduce blood sugar levels and may be very helpful in cases of late-onset diabetes. History: Goat's Rue is a hardy perennial that is native to southern Europe and western Asia and cultivated in both Europe and the United States as an ornamental in gardens and also for medicinal purposes. The thick, spreading root system sends up a bushy growth of many hollow stems bearing leaves and profusely-flowering spikes of pea-like, lilac-to-pink-to-white blooms from June to September. The plant thrives in deep, moist, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade and grows to a height of about three feet. The herb has no fragrance unless bruised, and then it emits a disagreeable odor; hence, the name Goat's Rue. Since ancient times, Goat's Rue has been used in herbal medicines, mostly as a galactagogue, or substance that helps to promote milk production, and in 1873, French physicians found that livestock fed with Goat's Rue increased their milk yield by thirty-five to fifty percent. Because of the herb's diaphoretic properties, it was considered an important treatment for reducing fevers, particularly those associated with plague and infectious diseases; hence, the plant received its German name, ''Pestilenzkraut.'' In Hill's Universal Herbal of 1832, a tea made of the leaves was said to ''excite sweating'' and be ''good in fevers,'' and this mucilaginous, astringent and bitter herb was included in the National Formulary IV attached to the United States Pharmacopoeia. Some of the constituents in Goat's Rue include tannins, a bitter principle, flavonoids, glycosides, galegin and saponins. Beneficial Uses: Goat's Rue has been known for centuries as a diaphoretic, or agent that produces perspiration and sweating. As a result, it helps to reduce fevers and cool the body, as well as rid the body of poisons through the skin. This was a particularly important herb in early herbal medicine for the treatment of fevers associated with plague and infectious diseases. Becau

The plant thrives in deep, moist, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade and grows to a height of about three feet. The herb has no fragrance unless bruised, and then it emits a disagreeable odor; hence, the name Goat's Rue. Since ancient times, Goat's Rue has been used in herbal medicines, mostly as a galactagogue, or substance that helps to promote milk production, and in 1873, French physicians found that livestock fed with Goat's Rue increased their milk yield by thirty-five to fifty percent. Because of the herb's diaphoretic properties, it was considered an important treatment for reducing fevers, particularly those associated with plague and infectious diseases; hence, the plant received its German name, ''Pestilenzkraut.'' In Hill's Universal Herbal of 1832, a tea made of the leaves was said to ''excite sweating'' and be ''good in fevers,'' and this mucilaginous, astringent and bitter herb was included in the National Formulary IV attached to the United States Pharmacopoeia. Some of the constituents in Goat's Rue include tannins, a bitter principle, flavonoids, glycosides, galegin and saponins. Beneficial Uses: Goat's Rue has been known for centuries as a diaphoretic, or agent that produces perspiration and sweating. As a result, it helps to reduce fevers and cool the body, as well as rid the body of poisons through the skin. This was a particularly important herb in early herbal medicine for the treatment of fevers associated with plague and infectious diseases. Becau

It promotes sweat, which helps to reduce fevers and cleanse toxins from the body through the skin. The herb is also a digestive that relieves indigestion, flatulence and grumbling in the intestines (griping). History: Pennyroyal is a pungently aromatic, bitter, astringent herb. It is a member of the mint family, and exact naming of the different species has been difficult, as mints interbreed so readily. Pennyroyal is a perennial with variable growing habits and may range from a low-growing, spreading plant to a lanky upright shrub. Its leaves are bright green and exude a strong peppermint scent, and the herb prefers rich, damp, sandy soil in sun or partial shade. It is considered a weed in many places, and one of its folk names is ''Grows-in-the-Ditch.'' Pennyroyal is said to be native to Ireland, spreading across south and central Europe to the Ukraine and parts of Asia. The herb was introduced to North America centuries ago, and it grows abundantly in the wildlands of the world. American Pennyroyal (Hedeoma pulegiodes ) has a long medicinal history in North America, where it was used by the native tribes and settlers alike for headaches, feverish colds, menstrual cramps and to produce abortion. Pennyroyal was listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia from 1831 until 1915. An herbal extract oil or tea was derived from the leaves and flowering tops of the plant and was used in folklore medicine to induce abortion and menses and to treat inflammatory conditions, chronic bronchitis, minor ailments and colic. Mentha pulegium (European Pennyroyal) and Hedeoma pulegiodes have a similar chemistry and are used in the same manner, but the herb carries severe warnings and should be used only under the supervision of a health care practitioner.

Try a regimen of Feverfew to help prevent the pain and nausea associated with migraines. The herb has been used since ancient times to lower fever and treat nervous and menstrual disorders, depression and pain. History: Feverfew is a native plant of southeastern Europe that is now common throughout Australia, Europe and North America, where it sometime grows wild. The daisy-like flower is a perennial that grows about two feet in height. Ancient Greek physicians used Feverfew to treat melancholy, headaches and to lower fevers; Dioscorides is believed to have used it to treat arthritis. One of its botanical genus names, Chrysanthemum, is derived from two Greek words, i.e., chrysos, meaning ''golden'' and anthos, meaning ''flower,'' and its English name is a corrupted version of the Latin word, febrifugia, meaning ''fever reducer.'' Its botanical specific, parthenium, is said to be derived from the Greek word, parthenos, meaning virgin, in reference to young women who used the plant to treat menstrual irregularities. This herb has been used since the first century A. D., to treat headaches, and the English continued to use it into the seventeenth century to treat depression, headache, vertigo and to lower fever. The esteemed English pharmacist, Nicholas Culpeper, recommended its use in 1649 for ''all pains in the head,'' and in 1772, the herbalist, John Hill, said it would cure the ''worst headache.'' Feverfew faded from herbal popularity after that time, but it was planted in gardens for its small daisy-like flowers that appeared to ''purify the air'' and repel insects. Recently, however, it has returned to the herbalists' repertoire, primarily to prevent migraine headaches. The respected British journal, Lancet, reported in 1988, that extracts of Feverfew inhibited the release of two inflammatory substances, serotonin and prostaglandin, and its use was effective against headache.

Other common names: Felon Herb, Cingulum Sancti Johannis, Saint John's Plant, Common Artemisia, Wild Wormwood, Chinese Moxa, Sailor's Tobacco Mugwort is a bitter digestive that relieves stomach acidity, dyspepsia, indigestion, travel sickness and acute bowel and stomach pain. It also soothes the nerves, reduces tension and insomnia. Mugwort is beneficial for female complaints, easing menstrual cramps and painful menopausal symptoms, and it also improves liver and gallbladder function. History: Mugwort is a native of temperate Europe and Asia and was introduced to the Americas, where it grows on roadsides, riverbanks and in vacant lots and waste places, thriving in well-drained, neutral-to-slightly-alkaline soil in sun and growing to a height of six feet. It is an aromatic, multi-branched shrubby perennial with red-brown stems, bearing deeply cut, dark green leaves (that are downy white underneath) and clusters of yellow-to-red-brown flower heads that bloom from July to September. It is one of the few palatable wormwoods of the Artemisia family, and its botanical genus, Artemisia, is derived from Artemis, the Greek name for Diana, who is said to have found the plants and delivered their powers to the centaur. In ancient Greece, the Father of Medicine, Hippocrates (circa 400 B.C.), and the first-century physician, Dioscorides, prescribed Mugwort as a specific to ease and hasten childbirth, and the herb was frequently mentioned in first-century Greek and Roman writings. Legend claims that the Romans planted Mugwort on roadsides, so that passing soldiers might put it in their sandals on long marches to soothe sore feet, and herbalists still recommend it in footbaths to invigorate tired feet. Mugwort appears in Chinese medical literature dating back to A.D. 500, and was used to ease rheumatism and is still used for acupuncture points on the skin. In Ayurvedic medicine, Mugwort has been used for the female reproductive system, nervous complaints and as a wash for fungal infections. Legend tells us that in the wilderness, Saint John the Bapti

Other common names: Felon Herb, Cingulum Sancti Johannis, Saint John's Plant, Common Artemisia, Wild Wormwood, Chinese Moxa, Sailor's Tobacco Mugwort is a bitter digestive that relieves stomach acidity, dyspepsia, indigestion, travel sickness and acute bowel and stomach pain. It also soothes the nerves, reduces tension and insomnia. Mugwort is beneficial for female complaints, easing menstrual cramps and painful menopausal symptoms, and it also improves liver and gallbladder function. History: Mugwort is a native of temperate Europe and Asia and was introduced to the Americas, where it grows on roadsides, riverbanks and in vacant lots and waste places, thriving in well-drained, neutral-to-slightly-alkaline soil in sun and growing to a height of six feet. It is an aromatic, multi-branched shrubby perennial with red-brown stems, bearing deeply cut, dark green leaves (that are downy white underneath) and clusters of yellow-to-red-brown flower heads that bloom from July to September. It is one of the few palatable wormwoods of the Artemisia family, and its botanical genus, Artemisia, is derived from Artemis, the Greek name for Diana, who is said to have found the plants and delivered their powers to the centaur. In ancient Greece, the Father of Medicine, Hippocrates (circa 400 B.C.), and the first-century physician, Dioscorides, prescribed Mugwort as a specific to ease and hasten childbirth, and the herb was frequently mentioned in first-century Greek and Roman writings. Legend claims that the Romans planted Mugwort on roadsides, so that passing soldiers might put it in their sandals on long marches to soothe sore feet, and herbalists still recommend it in footbaths to invigorate tired feet. Mugwort appears in Chinese medical literature dating back to A.D. 500, and was used to ease rheumatism and is still used for acupuncture points on the skin. In Ayurvedic medicine, Mugwort has been used for the female reproductive system, nervous complaints and as a wash for fungal infections. Legend tells us that in the wilderness, Saint John the Baptist wore a cingulum, or belt, that was woven from Mugwort, givi

Other common names: Pride of the Meadow, Spiraea, Bridewort, Lady of the Meadow, Meadsweet, Dolloff, Queen of the Meadow* ''the smell thereof makes the heart merry and joyful and delighteth the senses,'' John Gerard, Apothecary and Surgeon, Herball or Generall Historie of Plantes, 1597 *Note: Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) is also called ''Queen of the Meadow'' and should not be confused with Boneset (Eupatorium purfoliatum) or Gravel Root (Eupatorium purpureum), two entirely different herbs that are frequently also called Queen of the Meadow, but have entirely different properties and applications. Suffering from headache, fever, arthritic and joint pain? Rather than reach for aspirin, why not try Meadowsweet instead? It is the natural version of aspirin without the digestive upsets that may accompany the synthetic product. It is even said to soothe digestive upsets, as well as the pains and aches of inflammatory ailments. History: Meadowsweet is a stout perennial wildflower that thrives in the rich, wet soils of marshes, bogs, ditches, damp meadows and moist woods in sun or partial shade. The plant, with its fernlike foliage, pinnate leaves and fragrant, cream-white flower clusters, dislikes acid soil and grows up to six feet in height with a creeping, underground root. Meadowsweet was introduced to North America from Europe and now grows wild throughout eastern Canada and the United States. Meadowsweet's name is derived from its older name, Meadsweet, which, like Meadwort (its oldest English name from Anglo-Saxon times), refers to the plant's use as a flavoring for mead, a honeyed liquor. Its botanical specific, ulmaria, is derived from the Latin, ulmus, meaning ''elm,'' referring to the resemblance of Meadowsweet's leaves to those of the elm tree. Meadowsweet was one of the three most sacred herbs of the Druids, the others being water mint and vervain; and in medieval Europe, the fragrant plant was considered an important strewing herb. The sweet fragrance of the plant made it a favorite of Queen Elizabeth I of England, who favored the herb above all others as the strewing herb on the floors of her chambers.

A Basic Guide to Herb Garden Plants

Before you begin planting your herb garden, you will need to know basic information about herb plants in general. Garden herbs, like other plants, may be annuals, perennials, or biennials. Each one has certain growing characteristics that may determine its placement in the garden. You also need to be aware of growing requirements, the specific uses of the herb, and generally how to harvest it.

Examples of annuals, plants that mature in one year, then die, are basil, cilantro and summer savory. These can be planted from seed or purchased as starter plants yearly. Biennials like parsley, caraway or angelica grow foliage the first season, and next year will bear flowers and seeds. Some examples of perennials are sage, tarragon, thyme and oregano. These return year after year, and most will survive colder temperatures. Many perennial herbs grow quite large, so you may need only one or two plants.

You can start your herbs from seed by sowing them in late winter in flats of fine loose soil or in starter  pots. Some, like parsley and cilantro are better planted directly into the garden. Always ensure your soil is moist and fine, as well as loose. Herbs don't like to be in wet soggy soil. Mix fine seeds with some sand, so they spread out better. Check the seed packages for any specific planting requirements.

We categorize herbs by how they are mainly used. Some herbs will appear in more than one category. Culinary herbs, the most commonly grown ones, are used mainly to add zest to your meals. The most commonly known culinary herbs are parsley, chives, thyme, basil, oregano, savory, rosemary, tarragon and dill.

Another group of herbs that are related to culinary herbs are those grown for teas or tisanes. Many fragrant herbs make wonderful herbal teas, for aiding relaxation, sleep, or even energizing you. Mint is probably the most common tea herb, but others such as  sage, thyme, chamomile, bergamot and lemon verbena also make delicious herb teas. These can be used alone or in combinations, fresh or dried. You'll be guided by personal taste in choosing tea herbs.

Other herbs are grown for their aromatic flowers and foliage. They are used to make fragrant oils, potpourris, and sachets. For example, you can refresh your linen closet or your clothes drawers with sprigs or sachets of dried lavender or mint flowers and leaves. Fragrant herbs such as  lemon verbena, rosemary, mint and even rose petals are often used in commercial cosmetics, soaps and toilet waters.

Another group of herbs you may wish to grow are used to enhance health. Many of these have a long history of use in folk medicine. These herbal preparations were once the only medications used, and in some countries, they are still the only available treatments. Many medicines we use today are derived from natural plants. Some commonly recognized medicinal herbs are arnica, calendula, fennel, sage, valerian and echinacea. Before using herbs as curatives, you must familiarize yourself with their properties, and study how to correctly use them.

We also can grow herbs because they are beautiful, and add to our visual enjoyment. Lavender is often grown for its spikes of lavender flowers, echinacea for its bold orange and purple blooms, and varieties of sage for red or blue blossoms and dusty green foliage. Who hasn't seen creeping blankets of thyme draping over rock gardens, with a blush of tiny purple flower spikes.

Many herbs mentioned will overlap into different groups, since they are grown for different uses. The best example, mint, is used for cooking, tea, cosmetics and pest control. No matter your reason for starting your own home herb garden, by understanding how different plants are used, you will be able to choose the right herbs just for you.
