A Modern Herbal

Product Information

A strong decoction of syrup of the herb and flowers was recommended by the older herbalists for skin diseases and a homoeopathic medicinal tincture is still made from it with spirits of wine, using the entire plant, and given in small diluted doses for the cure of cutaneous eruptions. A Modern Herbal, first published in 1931, by Mrs. M. Grieve, contains Medicinal, Culinary, Cosmetic and Economic Properties, Cultivation and Folk-Lore. The flowers impart a yellow colour to boiling water and a rather permanent green colour with dilute sulphuric acid, the latter colour becoming brown upon the addition of alkalis. An infusion of the flowers was used by the Roman ladies to dye their hair a golden colour. Lyte tells us, 'the golden floures of Mulleyn stiped in lye, causeth the heare to war yellow, being washed therewithall,' and according to another old authority, Alexander Trallianus, the ashes of the plant made into a soap will restore hair which has become grey to its original colour.

In the 1970’s the Western World was anxious, angry and turning upon itself. The Vietnam War had pitted one generation against another, the Cold War had whittled away at idealism and hope, and the pride and rejoicing in the material gains arising from the optimism and relief inspired by the ending of World War II had turned to shame. Capitalism and triumphalism were in retreat. Kala CP (2005). "Health traditions of Buddhist community and role of amchis in trans-Himalayan region of India". Current Science. 89 (8): 1331–38. Steadman Shorter's Medical Dictionary, Poisons & Antidotes: Aconite Botanical: Aconitum napellus (LINN.) There are many forms in which herbs can be administered, the most common of which is a liquid consumed as a herbal tea or a (possibly diluted) plant extract. [25]Part Used Medicinally and Preparation for Market---The whole herb, collected in the wild state and dried.

The exact composition of a herbal product is influenced by the method of extraction. A tea will be rich in polar components because water is a polar solvent. Oil on the other hand is a non-polar solvent and it will absorb non-polar compounds. Alcohol lies somewhere in between. [25] A herb shop in the souk of Marrakesh, Morocco

Herbalism has been criticized as a potential " minefield" of unreliable product quality, safety hazards, and potential for misleading health advice. [1] [7] Globally, there are no standards across various herbal products to authenticate their contents, safety or efficacy, [38] and there is generally an absence of high-quality scientific research on product composition or effectiveness for anti-disease activity. [7] [71] Presumed claims of therapeutic benefit from herbal products, without rigorous evidence of efficacy and safety, receive skeptical views by scientists. [1] Formerly the flowers of several species of Mullein were officinal, but Mullein no longer has a place in the British Pharmacopoeia, though Verbascum Flowers were introduced into the 4th Edition of the United States National Formulary, as one of the ingredients in pectoral remedies, and the leaves, in fluid extract of Mullein leaves, made with diluted alcohol were directed to be used as a demulcent, the dose being 1 fluid drachm.a b Saad B, Said O (2011).

There is also concern with respect to the numerous well-established interactions of herbs and drugs. [35] [47] In consultation with a physician, usage of herbal remedies should be clarified, as some herbal remedies have the potential to cause adverse drug interactions when used in combination with various prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, just as a customer should inform a herbalist of their consumption of actual prescription and other medication. [48] [49] Mullein is said to be of much value in diarrhoea, from its combination of demulcent with astringent properties, by this combination strengthening the bowels at the same time. In diarrhcea the ordinary infusion is generally given, but when any bleeding of the bowels is present, the decoction prepared with milk is recommended.
