When used to support weight loss programs, hawthorn berries reduce water retention expelling excess salt from the body. Hawthorn berries have also been known to reduce nervous tension, alleviate insomnia and aid digestion

Motherwort

A remedy for the heart and nerves and often prescribed for palpitations, motherwort strengthens heart function, especially in conditions where the heart is weak. A gentle sedative and antispasmodic, it promotes relaxation rather than drowsiness. However, it does stimulate the muscles of the uterus, and is especially suitable for delayed menstruation, menstrual pain, and premenstrual tension (especially if shock or distress is a factor). Motherwort should not be used if menstrual bleeding is heavy.

Stone Root

Diuretic and tonic, stone root is chiefly employed in the treatment of kidney stones. Stone root is also prescribed to counteract fluid retention. Stone root has been used to reduce back pressure in the veins, which in turn helps prevent the formation or worsening of hemorrhoids and varicose veins. As an astringent, stone root contracts the inner lining of the intestines, and can be helpful in treating digestive system disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome and mucous colitis. The fresh leaves or roots of stone root are used as a poultice for bruises, cuts, and sores.

Lily of the Valley

Lily of the valley is used by European herbalists in place of common foxglove. Both herbs have a profound effect in heart failure, whether due in the long term to a cardio-vascular problem or to a chronic lung problem such as emphysema.. Lily of the valley encourages the heart to beat more slowly, regularly and efficiently. Lily of the valley is also strongly diuretic, reducing blood volume and lowering blood pressure. Lily of the valley is better tolerated than foxglove, since it does not accumulate within the body to the same degree. Relatively low doses are required to support heart rate and rhythm, and to increase urine production.

Flax

Linseed is rich in mucilage and unsaturated fats, and makes a valuable remedy for many intestinal and chest problems. Taken whole internally, the seeds soothe irritation throughout the digestive tract. They also absorb fluid and swell, drawing in toxins and forming a jellylike mass, which acts as an effective bulk laxative. If the seeds are split before being swallowed, they provide essential fatty acids. To a lesser extent, the seeds benefit the urinary tract. Externally, a poultice of the crushed seeds may be helpful in treating chronic coughs, bronchitis, pleurisy, and emphysema. A poultice of the seeds, or of linseed flour, may be applied to relieve painful boils. A Portuguese recipe recommends linseed oil mixed with red wine to treat wounds.

Myrrh

Therapeutic properties - The medicinal actions of myrrh have not been well researched, although its astringent, antiseptic, and antimicrobial actions have been confirmed. Myrrh is not soluble in water and is therefore normally taken in the form of a powder or a tincture, rather than as an infusion.

The diluted tincture is used as a mouthwash and is effective as a gargle, helping to counter infection and inflammation and tighten the affected tissue.

External uses - Externally, myrrh's astringent and antiseptic actions make it a useful treatment for acne and boils, as well as for mild inflammatory skin problems. The herb's drying and slightly anesthetizing effect has led to its use in Germany as a treatment for pressure sores caused by prosthetic limbs.

Myrrh is an essential oil derived from 100 percent pure Commiphoria myrria. Myrrh has been an integral part of religious rituals, health practices, beauty treatments and perfumery for thousands of years. It contains antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties. Myrrh is commonly applied to the mouth and gums and may be beneficial in supporting the respiratory system.
