These herbs are well treated under strict hygienic conditions, ensuring appropriate safeties for
human usage. The final product comes with unique flavour and taste. It may also provide natural
antioxidants, such as polyphenols and flavonoids, by inhalation.
Properties
Polyphenols in green tea were shown to be powerful antioxidants with anti-carcinogenic properties
Human studies on pharmacokinetics of polyphenols in green tea were conducted. The evidence
suggests that ingested polyphenols and their metabolites play a role in the action against
gastrointestinal cancers. Many in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that polyphenols from
green tea were anti-carcinogenic by inducing apoptosis and inhibiting cell-growth, cyclin-dependent
kinase inhibitor and urokinase (an enzyme crucial for cancer growth).
The leaves have been used in traditional Chinese medicine and other medical systems to treat
asthma (functioning as a bronchodilator), angina pectoris, peripheral vascular disease, and coronary
artery disease. Tea extracts have become field of interest, due to their notional antibacterial activity.
Green tea leaves and extracts have shown to be effective against bacteria responsible for bad
breath.
Cancer prevention: A cohort study of 8,552 people with nine years of follow-up showed a negative
association of green tea consumption with cancer incidence, especially among Japanese women
drinking more than ten cups a day.

Artemisia vulgaris (mugwort or common wormwood) is one of several species in the genus Artemisia which have common names
that include the word mugwort. This species is also occasionally known as Felon Herb, Chrysanthemum Weed, Wild Wormwood,
Old uncle Henry, Sailor's Tobacco, Naughty Man, Old Man or St. John's Plant
Properties
Artemisia vulgaris is most widely known for its affinity for
the female reproductive system, used as a uterine
stimulant that can bring on delayed menstruation and help
restore a woman's natural monthly cycle. Often used as a
smudging (burning) ceremonial herb. It is mildly sedative
and useful in calming frayed nerves and easing stress. As all
the bitter herbs, it is an excellent digestive stimulant, and
is quite effective taken before or after heavy meals to
alleviate gas and bloating.
The leaves (raw or cooked) are aromatic and somewhat bitter. Their addition to the diet aids the
digestion and so they are often used in small quantities as flavouring, especially with fatty foods.
They are also used to give colour and flavour to glutinous-rice dumplings.
In Southern Asia, the young leaves are used as a potherb. The dried leaves and flowering tops are
steeped into tea. They have also been used as flavouring in beer; though fell into virtual disuse once
hops came into favour.
The leaves have an antibacterial action, inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus
typhi, B. dysenteriae, streptococci, E. coli, B. subtilis, Pseudomonas etc. The stem is also said to be
antirheumatic, antispasmodic, and stomachic. The roots are tonic and antispasmodic. The
compressed dried leaves and stems are used in moxibustion. The species has a number of recorded
historic uses in food herbal medicine, and as a smoking herb.

Properties
It's one of the oldest known spices. To prepare it, the bark of the cinnamon
tree is dried and rolled into cinnamon sticks, also called quills. Cinnamon can
also be dried and ground into a powder. The characteristic flavour and aroma
of cinnamon comes from a compound in the essential oil of the bark called
cinnamonaldehyde.
It has a mild anti-inflammatory effect. It also slows the spoiling of food (which is probably related to
why it was used as an embalming agent in ancient Egypt), and has anti-fungal properties as well.
Cinnamon contains volatile oils (1–4%) of cinnamaldehyde (60–80%), eugenol (up to 10%) and trans-
cinnamic acid (5–10%); phenolic compounds (4–10%), condensed tannins, catechins,
proanthocyanidins, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes (pinene), calcium-monoterpenes oxalate, gum,
mucilage, resin, starch, sugars and traces of coumarin.
Cinnamomum cassia has been reported to have an anti diabetic, antimicrobial, antibacterial,
antifungal, antitumour, immunomodulatory, and anti-inflammatory activities. In addition, it is found
to be effective in the treatment of cancer. It is particularly indicated for blood sugar
management and weight management.

Properties
Clove found its way into teas and tinctures, poultices and
pomanders. It was a widely used medicine and an early
anaesthetic and antiseptic. Clove was very expensive and
its distinctive taste was much admired in liqueurs and
other aromatic beverages. In the old days, pomanders
were made of oranges studded with cloves to ward off infectious diseases
Cloves are used in Indian Ayurvedic medicine, Chinese medicine, and western herbalism and
dentistry, where the essential oil is used as an anodyne (painkiller) for dental emergencies. Cloves
are used as a carminative, to increase hydrochloric acid in the stomach and to improve peristalsis.
Cloves are also said to be a natural anthelmintic. The essential oil is used in aromatherapy when
stimulation and warming are needed, especially for digestive problems. Topical application over the
stomach or abdomen are said to warm the digestive tract. The use of a clove in toothache is also said
to decrease pain. It also helps to decrease infection in the teeth due to its antiseptic properties.
Clove oil, applied to a cavity in a decayed tooth, also relieves toothache
Cloves may be used internally as a tea and topically as oil for hypotonic muscles, including for
multiple sclerosis. It is known to reduce blood sugar levels. The old texts all seem to agree on the
many therapeutic properties of clove - it is a stimulant and has stomachic, expectorant, sedative,
carminative, antispasmodic and digestive qualities. It helps flatulence, stimulates digestion and
restores appetite, so is good for convalescence. It is a general tonic for both physical and intellectual
weakness; and for those suffering from frigidity. Its principal therapeutic value, though, is antiseptic
because of the high proportion of eugenol. This is used for intestinal parasites, and for prevention of
virus infections. It is good for the immune system, and particularly effective in mouth and tooth
infections.

Properties
Licorice has a long history of medicinal use in both Eastern and
Western systems of medicine. Licorice root has been used as a
dietary supplement for stomach ulcers, bronchitis, and sore
throat, as well as infections caused by viruses, such as hepatitis.
The Extract enters into the composition of cough lozenges and pastilles, with sedatives and
expectorants. It is largely used in conjunction with infusion of linseed in the treatment of irritable
cough, sore throat and laryngitis, and an infusion made by boiling 1 OZ. of the bruised root deprived
of its bark, with 1 pint of water for a few minutes, may be employed in the treatment of sore throat
and in catarrhal conditions of the urinary intestinal tracts.
The chief constituent of Liquorice root, to which its sweet taste is due, is Glycyrrhizin (6 to 8 per
cent), obtainable in the form of a sweet, white crystalline powder, consisting of the calcium and
potassium salts of glycyrrhizic acid. The drug also contains sugar, starch (29 per cent), gum, protein,
fat (0.8 per cent), resin, asparagin (2 to 4 percent), a trace of tannin in the outer bark of the root,
yellow colouring matter, and 0.03 of volatile oil.
Liquorice was prescribed by early physicians from the time of Hippocrates, in cases of dropsy, to
prevent thirst, for which it is an excellent thing, though probably the only sweet substance that has
this effect. It is thought, however, that the property does not actually belong to the saccharine juice,
but that if a piece of the root be chewed till all the juice is extracted, there remains a bitter, which
acts on the salivary glands, and this may contribute to remove thirst.
Properties
Lonicera japonica, native to Asia, is an ornamental groundcover
that is commonly planted in many areas of the world for it's
sprawling habit, numerous sweetly fragrant white flowers, ability
to quickly cover bare or steep ground, and attractive evergreen
foliage.
The stems and flower buds are alterative, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic,
depurative, diuretic, febrifuge. The plant is also used to reduce blood pressure. The stems are used
internally in the treatment of acute rheumatoid arthritis, mumps and hepatitis. The stems are
harvested in the autumn and winter, and are dried for later use. The stems and flowers are used
together as an infusion in the treatment of upper respiratory tract infections (including pneumonia)
and dysentery. An infusion of the flower buds is used in the treatment of a wide range of ailments
including syphilitic skin diseases and tumours, bacterial dysentery, colds, enteritis, pain, swellings
etc. Experimentally, the flower extracts have been shown to lower blood cholesterol levels and are
antibacterial, antiviral and tuberculostatic.
Externally, the flowers are applied as a wash to skin inflammations, infectious rashes and sores. The
flowers are harvested in early morning before they open and are dried for later use.

Properties
The rhizoms of Polygonatum odoratum (Mill.) Druce., family Liliaceae. With a long history, the medicine was
often used in Chinese traditional prescriptions to treat Xiaokezheng (diabetes). Administration of the n-butanol
fraction of Polygonatum odoratum with selenium supplementation reduced the blood glucose level and
peroxidative tissue damage in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The anti-hyperglycemic action of Rhizoma
Polygonati Odorati was also reported by Jia (1991). The active principles to lower blood glucose level may be
saponins.
Polygonatum odoratum has too many possible beneficial herbal uses to fully enumerate. A few of its
uses include: as an astringent, as a demulcent, as a decongestant and as a vulnerary. Herbal
remedies are only prepared from the rhizome. It can also be applied externally as a poultice to treat
bruises, small wounds, etc.
