Consult with a qualified professional before combining herbs and drugs. Many of the herbs mentioned in this module are not safe to take during pregnancy or lactation. Carefully research each plant mentioned in each formula and consult a physician before using Them. Copyright © 2021 HomeGrown Herbalist, LLC General Notes On The Formulas In This Module The various formulas in this module are given as volume ratios for powdered, dry herbs. For example: 2 Echinacea 1 Calendula 1 Cleavers So, for this formula you would mix 2 parts of Echinacea, 1 part Calendula and 1 part cleavers. Those parts could be grams, ounces or tons depending on how much you want to make. :) Copyright © 2021 HomeGrown Herbalist, LLC General Notes On Dosing The Formulas In This Module The typical adult dosing for each formula is also given. This is the volume of dry herb you should ingest. Whether you do that by making a tea of the herbs, putting the herbs in a little juice or encapsulating them is up to you. If using fresh herbs instead of dry herbs, double the quantities to account for the water content in the plants diluting their medicinal components. You could also make tinctures of the some of these formulas. To do so, mix the herbs in exactly the same ratio and then make your tincture by adding one part dry herb to 5 parts vodka and saying nice things to it and shaking it daily for two weeks.. Dosing information adults, children and animals for formulas sold on HomegrownHerbalist.net can be found on the “More Info” tab on each product page. Copyright © 2021 HomeGrown Herbalist, LLC Herb Forms Most herbal products are sold in three forms; powders, tinctures and capsules. People often ask which form is best. The truth is, it matters very little how we get herbs into our body but there are some advantages to each form. Powders: Powders are the least expensive form. Powders can be made into teas or tinctures or you can just put the powder into a little juice or water or a smoothie and drink it. Shelf life is a year or two. Tinctures: Tinctures are alcohol extracts of herbs. They act a little more quickly in the body and are very portable. Shelf life is many years. Tinctures can be taken alone or mixed with a little juice, water or smoothie. Capsules: Capsules are my least favorite form personally. I believe that many herbs are more effective if capsules aren’t used. Click here to read a blog article on Capsules Any of the above forms can be mixed with your morning smoothie or with yogurt, apple sauce etc... Tinctures mix really well with this product: Barlean’s Seriously Delicious Omega-3 Fish Oil. This is a great way to get tinctures into children and adults that are sensitive to yucky herb flavors. Copyright © 2021 HomeGrown Herbalist, LLC Dosing Humans Recommended Servings for Humans For chronic or maintenance issues, twice daily is usually sufficient. For acute situations, dosing can be done more frequently. If you’re taking herbs long-term, take a day off every week or two. Herbs and Adults Powders for Adults: 1-2 rounded teaspoons 2-3 times daily. Tinctures for Adults: 1/4 to 1 teaspoon 2-3 times daily. Capsules for Adults: 4 capsules 2-3 times daily. Herbs and Children I don’t recommend herb use in children under two years of age without consulting a qualified practitioner. When I do use herbs for children. I dose them based on weight compared to an adult...1/2 an adult...1/3 of an adult etc... Copyright © 2021 HomeGrown Herbalist, LLC Herbs and Pets At HomeGrown Herbalist, all of our formulas were created so that they could be used in either humans or in dogs and cats. Most dogs will eat herbs willingly if the powdered form is mixed with a little wet food. Tinctures can also be used. Many cats are very resistant to taking herbs willingly. For chronic or maintenance issues, twice daily is usually sufficient. For acute situations, dosing can be done more frequently. If the pets are getting herbs long-term, take a day off every week or two. Copyright © 2021 HomeGrown Herbalist, LLC Dosing Pets Powders for Pets Under 10 Pounds: 1/8 teaspoon twice daily 10-20 Pounds: 1/4 teaspoon twice daily 20-40 Pounds: 1/2 teaspoon twice daily 40-60 Pounds: 3/4 teaspoon twice daily Over 60 Pounds: 1 rounded teaspoon twice daily Tinctures for Pets: Under 10 Pounds: 3 drops twice daily 10-20 Pounds: 5 drops twice daily 20-40 Pounds: 10 drops twice daily 40-60 Pounds: 20 drops twice daily Over 60 Pounds: 30 drops twice daily Capsules for Pets: Under 10 Pounds:1/4 capsule twice daily 10-20 Pounds: 1/2-4 capsule twice daily 20-40 Pounds: 1 capsule twice daily 40-60 Pounds: 2 capsule2 twice daily Over 60 Pounds: 3 capsules twice daily Copyright © 2021 HomeGrown Herbalist, LLC Meanwhile… Back At The Dandelion Webinar Copyright © 2021 HomeGrown Herbalist, LLC Taxonomy: Kingdom: Plantae Angiosperms Eudicots Asterids Order: Asterales Family: Asteraceae Subfamily: Cichorioideae Tribe: Cichorieae Genus: Taraxacum Species: Taraxacum officinale Copyright © 2021 HomeGrown Herbalist, LLC Etymology Taraxacum is a midieval Latin word Which was (ṭaraḵšaqūn) طرخشقون taken from the Arabic which means herb of the poor as dandelions were only eaten when times were tough.

    IJAS_39192 Vol 8, Issue 6, 2020 ISSN- 2321-6832 Review Article GENERAL OVERVIEW OF PHYTOCHEMISTRY AND PHARMACOLOGICAL POTENTIAL OF RHEUM PALMATUM (CHINESE RHUBARB) AAMIR KHAN KHATTAK, SYEDA MONA HASSAN, SHAHZAD SHARIF MUGHAL* Department of Chemistry, Lahore Garrison University, Lahore, Pakistan, Email: [email protected] Received: 21 July 2020 , Revised and Accepted: 11 October 2020 ABSTRACT Recent probe of medicinal plants incorporated in traditional systems for curing infection and sustaining holistic health, has exposed good sum of therapeutic efficiency against deleterious infections and chronic illnesses. Rheum palmatum (Chinese Rhubarb, family Polygonaceae) is a significant medicinal herb, which finds an extensive use in Unani (Traditional) system of medicine. It has been traditionally employed as antiseptic, liver stimulant, diuretic, diabetes, stomachic, purgative/cathartic, anticholesterolemic, antitumor, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, tonic, antidiabetic, and wound healer. The most vital components from Rheum palmatum are the phenolics, flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins, and anthraquinone derivatives such as aloe- emodin, chrysophanol, physcion, rhein, emodin and its glucorhein, and glycoside. Rhubarb also contains tannins which include hydrolysable-tannins, containing glycosidic or ester bonds composed of glucose, gallic acid, and other monosaccharide’s and condensed tannins, resulting principally from the flavone derivatives leukocyanidin and catechin. In recent years, new components such asrevandchinone-1, revandchinone-2, revandchinone-3, revandchinone-4, sulfemodin8-O-b-Dglucoside, and 6-methyl-rhein and aloe-emodin have been reported from the same class. It also encompasses some macro and micro mineral elements such as Ca, K, Mn, Fe, Co, Zn, Na, Cu, and Li. Anthraquinone derivatives demonstrate evidence of anti- microbial, antifungal, anti-proliferative, anti-Parkinson’s, immune enhancing, anticancer, antiulcer, antioxidant, and antiviral activities.

Our work is focused both in the internal relationships among representatives of Omphalodes main subgroups (and including Omphalodes verna, the type species), and their relationships with other Cynoglosseae genera that have been related to the Omphalodes group. Our phylogenetic analysis of ITS and trnL-trnF molecular markers establish close relationships of the American Omphalodes with the genus Mimophytum, and also with Cynoglossum paniculatum and Myosotidium hortensia. The southwestern European annual Omphalodes species form a discrete group deserving taxonomic recognition. We describe two new genera to reduce the paraphyly in the genus Omphalodes, accommodating the European annual species in Iberodes and Cynoglossum paniculatum in Mapuchea. The pollen of the former taxon is described in detail for the first time.

  • Towards Resolving Lamiales Relationships
    Schäferhoff et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2010, 10:352 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/10/352 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Towards resolving Lamiales relationships: insights from rapidly evolving chloroplast sequences Bastian Schäferhoff1*, Andreas Fleischmann2, Eberhard Fischer3, Dirk C Albach4, Thomas Borsch5, Günther Heubl2, Kai F Müller1 Abstract Background: In the large angiosperm order Lamiales, a diverse array of highly specialized life strategies such as carnivory, parasitism, epiphytism, and desiccation tolerance occur, and some lineages possess drastically accelerated DNA substitutional rates or miniaturized genomes. However, understanding the evolution of these phenomena in the order, and clarifying borders of and relationships among lamialean families, has been hindered by largely unresolved trees in the past. Results: Our analysis of the rapidly evolving trnK/matK, trnL-F and rps16 chloroplast regions enabled us to infer more precise phylogenetic hypotheses for the Lamiales. Relationships among the nine first-branching families in the Lamiales tree are now resolved with very strong support. Subsequent to Plocospermataceae, a clade consisting of Carlemanniaceae plus Oleaceae branches, followed by Tetrachondraceae and a newly inferred clade composed of Gesneriaceae plus Calceolariaceae, which is also supported by morphological characters. Plantaginaceae (incl. Gratioleae) and Scrophulariaceae are well separated in the backbone grade; Lamiaceae and Verbenaceae appear in distant clades, while the recently described Linderniaceae are confirmed to be monophyletic and in an isolated position. Conclusions: Confidence about deep nodes of the Lamiales tree is an important step towards understanding the evolutionary diversification of a major clade of flowering plants. The degree of resolution obtained here now provides a first opportunity to discuss the evolution of morphological and biochemical traits in Lamiales.

Wysakowska, Department of Botany, Poznań University of Life Sciences, Wojska Polskiego 71 C, 60-625 Poznań, Poland, e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] (Received: June 17, 2015. Accepted: October 20, 2015) ABSTRACT. Results of anatomical studies on the developing endocarps of Cornus mas and C. officinalis are pre- sented. Formation of an endocarp and anatomical changes in its structure from the flowering stage to fully developed fruits were observed with the use of LM and SEM. In the process of anatomical development of endocarps the formation of two layers, i.e. the inner and the outer endocarp, was observed. Changes in their anatomical structure consisted in a gradual thickening of cell walls and their lignification. The ligni- fication of endocarp cell walls begins in the inner endocarp, it proceeds in the outside parts of the outer endocarp, with an exception of several layers of cells forming the transition zone (circular strand) present on its margin, and finally, almost at the same time, in the rest of the outer endocarp. Cell walls of the cells distinguishing the germinating valves undergo thickening delayed by several days in comparison to other endocarp cells. Thickening of their cell walls starts in cells situated close to the inner endocarp and proceeds to its outer parts, and their lignification is not very intensive.
