¦ Historical uses Hops feature only occasionally in early herbals, and the health benefits ascribed to them are similar to our understanding today.
¦ Sedative The herb is used mostly for its sedative effect. A sachet placed inside a bed pillow releases an aroma that calms the mind. Hops help to reduce irritability and restlessness and promote a good night's sleep.
¦ Tension Blended with other herbs, hops are good for stress, anxiety, tension, and headaches, though they should not be used if depression is a factor. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Frequent mention of its uses were made in some of the great herbals of that era (Gerard's Herbal in 1597 and Turner's Herbal in 1568). This particular herb had religious connotations surrounding it, hence other common names for it like "holy this-
Blazing star or liatris was used in colonial times for medicinal purposes, but now is strictly an ornamental. Florists favor it when making cut flower arrangements for some of their customers because of its lovely lavender spikes of feathery flowers. | | BITTERS
(also see GENTIAN and WORMWOOD) Brief Description
There is an old saying common to some of the herbals published centuries ago in England and Germany that " the more bitter a plant is, the better it must be for you." A number of herbs contain bitter principles as their chief constituents; these, in turn, pretty much determine the medicinal actions of those plants once they're ingested.
But just because the awful flavor may not agree with your taste buds doesn't mean it's necessarily bad for you. |

As Old World farmers came into possession of the American legumes, they continued the process of selection and breeding that their New World counterparts had begun. Bringing to this task their own set of values and skills, they produced, in due course, dozens of new Phaseolus varieties. | | Elizabeth David once wrote an essay about the eggplant entitled "Mad, Bad, Despised and Dangerous"all epithets that she had found applied to it in herbals and other works of sixteenth-century Europe, especially those of Italy. Castor Durante, whose Herbario Novo came out in 1585, conceded that it was eaten (boiled like mushrooms or pickled) but gave a long and discouraging list of illnesses it could cause or worsen. In the following century, Antonio Fru-goli described eggplant as a low-class food eaten bv the Jews. |

See book keywords and concepts |  According to standard herbals, "turkey rhubarb" is another name for the kind of rhubarb (Rheum palmatum) found in most food markets fresh in the spring and frozen the year round. The stalk is edible, but one must not eat the leaf blades, since they contain enough oxalic acid to cause poisoning.
Garlic is of course readily available. For those who find garlic's breath odor unpleasant, there are a number of odor-free or "sociable" garlics on the market. Since the chemicals DCPA, DDT, ethion, diazinon and malathion have been detected in regular commercial garlic, it is preferable to buy organic. |

Herbage without the roots (herba hyoscyami, hyoscyami herba)
Seeds (hyoscyami semen); the seeds are listed in Chinese herbals under the name tian xian zi (Lu 1986, 80*)
Henbane oil (hyoscyamus oil)
Preparation and Dosage
The chopped, dried herbage can be used as an ingredient in incense and smoking blends, for brewing beer, to spice wine, and as a tea (infusion, decoction). The seeds are most appropriate for use in incense recipes.
Dosages must be assessed carefully no matter what type of preparation is being considered. |

Book: A New Herball (1511), with beautiful wood-cuts is now a collector's piece of value. "This notable work," wrote Eleanor Sinclair Rohde, "is the only original work on botany written by an Englishman in the 16th century." It was published in three separate parts and dedicated to Queen Elizabeth I.

They were followed by J. T. Taber-naemontanus (t 1590), P. A. Matthioli (1501 ?1577), and V. Cordus (1515 ?1544) whose works still served as a main source of reference for physicians in the 19th century. The greatest physician of Europe at that time was Phillippus Aureolus Paracelsus, born Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohen-heim (1493 ? |

See book keywords and concepts |  The Church of Rome objected to these pagan practices; and, in the 16th century, the Swiss physician Paracelsus began to use inorganic cures like mercury and antimony instead of herbals, heralding the near-monopoly of chemical-based medicine which would last until today.
The first determined effort in the modern Western world to break this pharmaceutical monopoly came from America in the 18th century. |

See book keywords and concepts | | A number of grasses appear in herbals from the early modern period. The fact that Phalaris is psychoactive was discovered during phytochemical studies of the grasses for agricultural purposes. For several years, closet shamans have been experimenting with possibilities for using this and other grasses for psychoactive purposes (cf. Arundo donax, Phalaris spp., Phragmites australis).
Distribution
The grass is found in Eurasia, North Africa, and North America. | | This period witnessed the publication of voluminous herbals full of information about psychoactive plants. Among their authors are Leonhart Fuchs (1501-1566), Jacobus Theodorus Tabernae-montanus (1522-1590), Hieronymus Bock (1498-1554), Otto Brunfels (ca. 1490-1534), and Pierandrea Matthiolus (1500-1577).
During the colonization of the New World, the Spanish king sent physicians and botanists to Mexico and Peru. Their task was to investigate the indigenous flora to determine potential medicinal uses. |

See book keywords and concepts | | The most auspicious hour may vary from herb to herb and is recorded in the old herbals. The kind of weather, with presence or absence of sunlight, are now known to affect the potency of a plant. Much herb lore of history has been vindicated by today's scientific research, with the discovery that the quality of active ingredients depends upon such variables as season, location, and the time of day when gathered. Different parts of herbs are gathered at different times.
Herbs should be collected in dry weather after the dew has lifted. |
