Peppermint

Ξ June 19, 2009 – 1:33 pm

Common names : brandy mint.

Description
Peppermint can often be found growing in damp places, such as swamplands and the banks of streams. It is also a very common garden plant.
The peppermint plant grows to be about 1-1 1/2 feet tall (30-90cm)
The leaves of the peppermint plant are about two inches in length, stalked, and most often smooth, but can sometimes be found to be slightly hairy. They are broad, dark green, and come to a sharp point.
Peppermint flowers in mid to late summer, producing purple flowers that grow in whorls at the end of the stalk.
The whole plant has a strong smell, do to the volitale oils found in the entire plant, when contain menthol. When placed on the tongue, peppermint produces a hot taste at first, but soon after, the mouth experiences a cooling sensation.

Uses
The peppermint plant is well known for its culinary uses as well is its medicinal uses.

One of the primary medicinal uses of peppermint is to treat digestive problems. Peppermint has stimulant, stomachic, and carminative properties which means it acts as not only a stomach strenghtener, but also, it can relieve pressure and cramping. Oil of Peppermint (either a distillation or a difussion) can be used as a digestive aid, to help with morning sickness or motion sickness, or to relieve abdominal cramps often associated with menstruation.

Another effective use of peppermint is for slight colds. A tea made with peppermint can be taken to raise body temperature and induce sweating, which can be an effective cure for colds.

Peppermint can also be useful in relieving stuffy noses and congestion, when taken as an inhalent.

Warnings
Do not use the oil in its undistilled form. If applied to the skin the oil can cause irritation or induce an allergic reaction.

History and myths
The ancient greeks and romans sometimes wore crowns of mint leaves and decorated their tables with mint at feasts.

It is sometimes said that if you carry a few leaves of peppermint in your wallet, you will attract money.

Rosemary

Ξ May 5, 2009 – 1:17 pm

Common names : Rosmarinus Officinalis

Description
This herb is a shrubby evergreen, with leaves approx 1 inch long, linear and dark green above, and paler below.  While there are color variations, the dark green variety is used medicinally.  The flowers are small and a pale blue.  The herb’s odor is pungently aromatic and has a hint of camphor.

Cuttings taken in summer will root under a hand-glass and can be transplanted that autumn.  The plant grows best in a light, dry soil.  It grows especially well in the Mediterranean climate.

Uses
The culinary use is used mostly in traditional Mediterranean cuisine.  It has a bitter, astringent taste and complements many different foods.  When burned, the leaves have a distinct mustard smell and also a burning type of smell.  This can be useful in flavoring foods while barbecuing or roasting.

The oldest use of rosemary was to improve one’s memory.  It was used as a symbol for remembrance during weddings and funerals.  A bride would typically wear the herb entwined with the wreath she wore.  A sprig of the herb was carried by mourners at funerals, who then tossed the sprig onto the coffin before burial.  The herb was also used as a substitute for more expensive incense, used to ward off witches and other evil influences.  An old custom was to burn rosemary in sick chambers to purify the air and ward off infection.

Medicinal uses:  Rosemary has been used to cure cases of headache, treating premature baldness and dandruff.  It has been used as a stimulant and to treat gout.  It can stimulate the brain and nervous system and increase blood circulation.  Rosemary Tea helps cure headaches, colic, colds and nervous diseases.  It helps treat nervous depression and asthma and can be effective as an antispasmodic.  Medical research leads to possible use of the herb’s carnosic acid to lower the risk of strokes and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

Cosmetic Use: When prepared as a rinse, it can lighten blonde hair and condition and tone all hair colors.  It can also be used as a toner and astringent on the skin.

Warnings
Rosemary oil is potentially toxic if ingested.  There have been cases of seizures in healthy adults and children after excessive exposure to Rosemary essential oil.  Persons prone to epileptic seizures should be cautious in using the herb.  Large quantities of herb leaves can cause adverse reactions, such as coma, spasm, vomiting and pulmonary edema.  Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid consuming large quantities of Rosemary leaves.

History and Myths
The ancients used the rosemary shrub to strengthen the memory.  It became the symbol of fidelity for lovers.  The herb became quite symbolic and was used in weddings, funerals, decorations at celebrations, incense in religious ceremonies and in magical spells.  The powers of the Rosemary herb include aphrodisiac, protection, exorcism, purification, healing, youth, longevity, increased mental powers and a sleep aid.   The herb makes a pleasant incense. It can help rid the area of negative vibrations and emits cleansing and purifying vibrations.  Placing some of the herb under one’s pillow can help with sleep.  It can be worn around the neck to assist with memory.  Placing the herb in bathwater will help with preserving youthfulness and with purification.  A person should carry some of this herb to help ward off disease.

Yarrow

Ξ May 5, 2009 – 1:15 pm

Common names : Due to it’s wide and long standing use, Yarrow has over 15 alternative names including:  Achillea millefolium, Arrowroot, Sanguinary, Soldier’s Woundwort and Nosebleed plant

Description
Yarrow can produce several stems reaching around 3 feet in height. Leaves are evenly distributed and are usually 2 to 7 and a half inches in length. The leaves are divided into leaflets producing a feathery effect (such as seen in ferns and some palms) and are arranged in a spiral along the stem. The flowers form flat-topped clusters with many small flowers per cluster. The petals can can vary in color from white to a very red pink.

Uses
As the alternative names suggest, this plant has been used since ancient times to help heal wounds and stop bleeding.
It has diaphoretic (causes sweating), astringent (causes body tissues to shrink or constrict), and stimulating properties.

It’s uses include being a styptic (reduces bleeding) due to its astringent properties. Though it is also helpful in treating cold and flu symptoms as well as helping hayfever, asthma and eczema. It also promotes healthy circulation and can reduce high blood pressure. Prepare to be eaten as you would spinach or ina  soup. It has a slightly bitter taste but the is said to be pleasant.

Preperations
The leaves promote clotting, can help relieve pain, and have anti inflammatry properties. Crush fresh and apply to a wound. However the insertion of a leaf into the nostril can also -cause- a nosebleed, reputedly helping in the case of a migraine.

When the fresh flowers are boiled. The steam helps with asthma and hayfever when inhaled. The infusion can be drank for upper respiritory problems or as a wash for eczema.

Extract the dark blue oils with steam distillation of the flowers. This can be used for chest rubs for cold and flu (combine with eucalyptus, peppermint, hyssop and thyme then dilute the mixture with sunflower oil for best results). The Oil can also be used as a massage oil for inflamed joints (infuse with St John’s Wort oil).

Warnings
-

History and Myths
According to Greek mythology, Achilles carried the leaves into battle to treat wounded soldiers.
