Other names for Borage are Starflower, Bee Bush, Bee Bread and Bugloss. The name may derive from the Latin word \"burra\", meaning hairy garment and referring to the glabourous leaves of this species. Borage leaves have been used as a potherb and in European herbal medicine since the Middle Ages and are mentioned by physicians Pliny, Dioscorides and Galen. An alternative explanation suggests it is a corruption of the Latin “corago” (courage), as in Gerards rhyme “ego borago gaudia semper ago” (I, borage, bring alwaies courage). This is in line with its reputation as an herb to dispel melancholy. Borage leaves also have been used for rheumatism, colds and bronchitis, as well as to increase lactation in women.\u003cbr\u003eBefore the invention of ice, Borage was used in a cooling drink called a “cool tankard” or “claret cup”, consisting of wine, water, lemon, sugar and Borage leaves and flowers. In European traditional medicine, the heart was believed to store the vital spirit and circulate it around the body via the arteries. Thus \"heart medicines\" were usually medicines for the spirit —for depression and confusion. Lemon Balm, Motherwort and Borage were specifics for matters of the heart.

Calendula is a genus of about 15–20 species of annual and perennial herbaceous plants in the daisy family Asteraceae that are often known as marigolds.\u003cbr\u003eThis species is native to southwestern Asia, western Europe, Macaronesia and the Mediterranean. In medieval Europe, Calendula was used to colour and spice various foods, and also as a dye to tint hair and to make butter look more yellow.\u003cbr\u003eCalendula was believed to be first cultivated by St. Hildegard of Bingen, an herbalist and nun practicing herbalism in the 11th century. Nicholas Culpepper, a 17th-century botanist, herbalist and astrologist, mentioned using Calendula juice mixed with vinegar as a rinse for the skin and scalp; and that a tea of the flowers comforts the heart. Astrologically associated with the sun and the fire element, Calendula was believed to imbue magical powers of protection and clairvoyance, and even to assist in legal matters. Flowers strung above doorposts were said to keep evil out and to protect one while sleeping if put under the bed. It was said that picking the flowers under the noonday sun will strengthen and comfort the heart.\u003cbr\u003eFolk medicine healers in Europe prepared infusions, extracts and ointments with the petals to induce menstrual flow, to produce sweat during fevers and to cure jaundice. In 19th century America, the Eclectic physicians used Calendula internally to treat liver problems, stomach ulcers, conjunctivitis (inflammation of the mucous membrane that lines the eyelids, commonly called pink eye), and externally for superficial burns, bruises and wounds.

True cinnamon, dates back in Chinese writings to 2800 BC and is still known as \"Kwai\" in the Cantonese language today. Its botanical name derives from the Hebraic and Arabic term \"amomon\", meaning fragrant spice plant. From their word for cannon, Italians called it \"canella\", meaning \"little tube,\" which aptly describes cinnamon sticks. The Ceylon Cinnamon belongs to the family “Lauraceae” or Laurel, which contains about 250+ species, a family containing diverse genera ranging from the Mediterranean Bay Tree, to Sassafras and Paw-Paw.\u003cbr\u003eIn the first century AD, Pliny the Elder wrote off 350 grams of Cinnamon as being equal in value to over five kilograms of silver, about fifteen times the value of silver per weight. In the 17th century, the Dutch seized the worlds largest Cinnamon supplier, the island of Ceylon, from the Portuguese, demanding outrageous quotas from the poor labouring Chalia caste. When the Dutch learned of a source of Cinnamon along the coast of India, they bribed and threatened the local king to destroy it all; thus, preserving their monopoly on the prized spice. In 1795, England seized Ceylon from the French, who had acquired it from their victory over Holland during the Revolutionary Wars. By 1833, the downfall of the Cinnamon monopoly had begun when other countries found it could be easily grown in such areas as Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Mauritius, Réunion and Guyana. Cinnamon is now also grown in South America, the West Indies and other tropical climates.\u003cbr\u003eCinnamon Bark has been used for thousands of years in traditional Eastern and Western medicines. It appears in recorded history dating back to at least 1700 years BCE, where it was a component of embalming fluid in ancient Egypt. The Arabs were avid spice traders who provided this spice to the ancient Romans, Greeks and Hebrews. These cultures treasured Cinnamon as a spice. It is believed that it was added to a spiced wine referred to as \"Hippocras\".\u003cbr\u003eEuropean explorers considered Cinnamon to be the most sought after spice of the 15th and 16th centuries and by the 17th century, it was considered a common kitchen spice. By the 19th century, Cinnamon was commonly used to support digestion.  In Ayurveda, this spice is referred to as \"twak\". It is a highly valued and multipurpose herb. According to the Ayurvedic practitioner, Karta Khalsa said: \"the classic patient who can benefit from cinnamon is cold, dry and frail\". Cinnamon is considered to be a warming herb that is stimulating to the circulatory system and soothing to the digestive system. Being high in antioxidants it is good for overall health.\u003cbr\u003eCinnamon is used to flavour a variety of foods, from confections to curries to beverages, and is popular in bakery goods in many places. Essential oil is distilled from the bark fragments for use in food, liqueur, perfume and drugs; and must be used with caution as a fragrance as it does have skin sensitizing properties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProperties:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe taste and energetics of True Cinnamon are warming, stimulating, astringent and drying.
