Ayurvedic Medicine is also called Ayurveda. It is a system of medicine that originated in India several thousand years ago. The term Ayurveda combines two Sanskrit words: ayur, which means life, and veda, which means science or knowledge. Ayurveda means "the science of life."

Ayurveda is a whole medical system which integrates and balances the body, mind, and spirit (thus, it is considered "holistic"). This balance is necessary for contentment and good health. read more...

While pharmaceutical companies extract active ingredients from plants and sell them as drugs, the benefits of medicinal plantscannot be replicated because their synergistic

combination of hundreds of naturally occurring phytochemicals cannot be reproduced in laboratories.

This fact has been known to Ayurveda for thousands of years - the benefit comes from using the whole plant, not just an isolated ingredient. Because they contain whole herbs and fruits, Ayurvedic formulas are safer and more effective as opposed to Western formulations which often times have harmful side effects.

We satisfy the health needs of our customers through safe, well-researched, and effective Ayurveda based remedies using premier quality herbal extracts and sound manufacturing practices. read more...

Forest Herbs Research

Forest Herbs' plants are grown organically at our own farm, called Kaituna, adjacent to the million acre Kahurangi National Park. This is a temperate rainforest wilderness of New Zealand with the only intrusion being a few hiking tracks.

To replicate Horopito's natural growing environment the plants are grown in sheltered clearings in the forest.The Horopito bushes must be at least five years old before they are harvested.

Decomposers and scavengers break down dead plants and animals. They also break down the waste (poop) of other organisms. Decomposers are very important for any ecosystem. If they weren't in the ecosystem, the plants would not get essential nutrients, and dead matter and waste would pile up.

There are two kinds of decomposers, scavengers and decomposers.

 Scavengers are animals that find dead animals or plants and eat them. While they eat them, they break them into small bits. In this simulation, flies, waspsand cockroaches are scavengers. Earthworms are also scavengers, but they only break down plants.

 

Once a scavenger is done, the decomposers take over, and finish the job. Many kinds of decomposers are microscopic, meaning that they can't be seen without a microscope. Others, like fungi, can be seen.

Different kinds of decomposers do different jobs in the ecosystem.

Others, like some kinds of bacteria, prefer breaking down meat or waste from carnivores.

Actinolites only break down dead plants, including hard to break down plants and the waste of herbivores.

Others, like certain kinds of fungi, prefer fruits and vegetables.

Decomposers (or saprotrophs) are organisms that break down dead or decaying

organisms, and in doing so carry out the natural process of decomposition.

Likeherbivores and predators, decomposers are heterotrophic, meaning that they

useorganic substrates to get their energy, carbon and nutrients for growth and

development. Decomposers use deceased organisms and non-living organic

compounds as their food source. The primary examples are:

[edit]Fungi

The primary decomposers of litter in many ecosystems are fungi. Unlike bacteria,

which are unicellular organisms, most saprotrophic fungi grow as a branching

network of hyphae. While bacteria are restricted to growing and feeding on the

exposed surfaces of organic matter, fungi can use their hyphae to penetrate larger

pieces of organic matter. Additionally, only wood-decay fungi have evolved

theenzymes necessary to decompose lignin, a chemically complex substance found

in wood. These two factors make fungi the primary decomposers in forests, where

litter has high concentrations of lignin and often occurs in large pieces. Fungi eat the

dead matter by releasing acid found in their body to melt the decaying material, then

sucking in all the acid, along with the melted material.[citation needed] Over time, the fungi

will eat all the material left. Hyphae are used to drain the melted material and acid

are also used in sexual reproduction. When two fungi's hyphae grow close to each

other, they will then fuse together and the form another fungus.[citation needed]That new

fungus will then mature.

Sampaguita 

Bougainvillea (pronounced /ˌbuːɡɨnˈvɪliə/)[2] is a genus of flowering plants native to South Americafrom Brazil west

to Peru and south to southern Argentina (Chubut Province). Different authors accept between four and 18 species in the

genus. The plant was classified by Europeans in Brazilin 1768, by Philibert Commerçon, a

French botanist accompanying French Navy admiral and explorer Louis Antoine de Bougainville during his voyage

of circumnavigation.

They are thorny, woody vines growing anywhere from 1-12 meters tall, scrambling over other plants with their spiky thorns.

The thorns are tipped with a black, waxy substance. They are evergreenwhere rainfall occurs all year, or deciduous if there

is a dry season. The leaves are alternate, simple ovate-acuminate, 4-13 cm long and 2-6 cm broad. The actual flower of the

plant is small and generally white, but each cluster of three flowers is surrounded by three or six bracts with the bright colors

associated with the plant, including pink, magenta, purple, red, orange, white, or yellow. Bougainvillea glabra is sometimes

referred to as "paper flower" because the bracts are thin and papery. The fruit is a narrow five-lobed achene.

Bougainvillea are relatively pest-free plants, but may suffer from worms, snails and aphids. Thelarvae of

some Lepidoptera species also use them as food plants, for example the Giant Leopard Moth (Hypercompe scribonia).

Sampaguita (Jasminum sambac) is a sweetly scentedtropical flower. Belonging to the wide genus ofJasmines (Jasminum), Sampaguita is the common name of the species Jasminum sambac. Sampaguita is also known as Philippine Jasmine, Arabian jasmine,Pikake in Hawaii, Grand Duke of Tuscany, Kampupot, and Melati .Kingdom

Jasminum

The species Jasminum sambac is native to southern Asia, in India, Myanmar and Sri Lanka. Sampaguita is serving as the National Flower of for two countries - Philippines and Indonesia.. The beautiful ornamental Sampaguita blooms cover the glossy green leafed bushed type ever bloomer. The Sampaguita is also well known in Asia for its use in teas and religious offerings, symbolizing divine hope.

Sampaguita grow on a woody vine or semi-climbing shrub, which reaches a height of 1,2 meters. The leaves are ovate or rounded in shape and 6 to 12 cm long. The leaves and Sampaguita flowers grow on short stalks. The Sampaguita flowers bloom either singly or as bundles of blossoms at the top of the branches. Blooming all through the year, Sampaguita are pure white, small, dainty, star-shaped blossoms. The flowers open at night and wilt in less than a day. The Sampaguita flower has about 8-10 calyx teeth that are very slender, and 5 to 8 mm long. The Sampaguita's corolla tube is slender and 1 to 1.5 cm long, the limb is usually double and 1.5 to 2 cm in diameter. The 2 stamens on the Sampaguita are included with a 2-celled ovary.

Sampaguita's distinct sweet, heady fragrance is its unique feature. The essential oil from the flowers is similar to jasmin (Jasminum grandiflores). Sampaguita flowers do not bear seeds, therefore the plant is cultivated by cuttings. Sampaguita was imported into the Philippines in the 17th century from Himalayan areas. The Sampaguita is a native part of the Philippine landscape for centuries. The plant is originally from India and is grown throughout India today. About eight cultivars are generally listed for Sampaguita.Some varieties of Sampaguitas can grow as large as small roses in India.

Varieties of Sampaguita

There are three varieties of Sampaguita, commonly referred to as Single Petal, Double and Double-Double. The double layered Sampaguita are called 'kampupot,' which are less fragrant. The three major varieties: 'Maid of Orleans', 'Belle of India' and 'Grand Duke' - differ from each other by the shape of leaves and flowers structure. The fourth popular variety Mysore Mulli, a variation of the 'Belle of India'.

Maid of Orleans: Single with five rounded petals Belle of India:Semi-double or single (single and double flowers on the same

plant) with elongated petals Grand Duke of Tuscany: clusters of flowers (sometimes single flower). Only the

central flower is truly double-rossete. Side flowers are semi-double, and like miniature roses

Facts About Sampaguita Sampaguita is considered a symbol of fidelity, purity, devotion, strength

and dedication. In the Philippines, the Sampaguita is called by various names: sambac,

sampagung, campopot, lumabi, kulatai, pongso, malur and manul. The name Sampaguita is a Spanish term that comes from the Philippino

words "sumpa kita," which mean 'I promise you.' The Chinese emperor of the Sung dynasty had Sampaguita growing in his palace

grounds to enjoy its heavenly fragrance. Even the kings of Afghanistan, Nepal and Persia had Jasmine planted, in the

1400s. Since ancient times, Jasmine has been cultivated for its essential oils. Varieties of Jasmine, like J. grandiflorum, are especially used in perfumes. Though, Sampaguita (unlike other Jasmine varieties) is not a key ingredient in top-

price perfumes, its scent and makeup have given it important uses. Sampaguita has been used for hair ornamentation in India, China and Philippines

as well. Malaysians scent the hair oil from coconut with Sampaguita scents. Sampaguita is also used medicinally. Its perfume is believed to relieve a many

ailments including headaches and promotes a feeling of well being. Sampaguita roots were used to treat wounds and snake bites. The leaves and the

flowers have antipyretic and decongestant properties Sampaguita flower extract acts as a deodorant.

Growing Sampaguita Sampaguita plant cuttings are easy to root. More plants means more blooms

at one given time and the more fragrance! Plant them in 3 gal pots. The plants are both full sun or shade tolerant. Use a good potting soil (with lots of organic matter like peat moss and humus). If the plant is exposed to certain conditions for a long time it gets used to them,

and may get stressed after the conditions change significantly. However, gradual change should be fine.

The smaller the plant, the easier it gets adjusted to new conditions. The potting mix must be well-drained. Never use top soil or garden soil for potting

to avoid rotting in roots. All Sampaguita plants need lots of light for blooming. Bright light along with

regular fertilization will encourage blooming. Move the plant into a larger pot every spring or when the plant overgrows the pot.

Sampaguita Plant Care Fertilize the plants monthly with a balanced fertilizer from spring through fall. The stems should be tied to supports and keep the soil evenly moist through the

growing season.

Pruning of sampaguita should be taken up after flowering to keep the plants thinned and shaped.

Protect from frost in temperate regions. As a tropical plant, the Sampaguita loves heat, it grows best when the soil around

it stays moist but not soggy. Do not over-fertilize or over water. Bigger flowers need plenty of sun.

Fruits may be pulverized and applied to regions with furuncle, sprains, lymph node tuberculosis with water or alcohol.• In China, extract used traditionally to treat diabetes. Also used for inflammed eyes, tumors, painful urination and hematuria.• In Oriental medicine, fruit has been used for inflammation, jaundice, headache, fever, liver disorders and hypertension.

Studies• Antioxidant: Crocin is a water soluble carotenoid found in the fruits of gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides) and seems to possess moderately strong antioxidant activity• Diabetes / Genipin: Study discovered "genipin" from the Gardenia extract. Genipin blocks the the UCP2 enzyme (uncoupling protein 2) that inhibits pancreatic insulin secretion. It suggests a potential for genipin-related compounds.• Antiangiogenic Activity: The n-butanol fraction of the ethanol extract of gardenia fruit was found to be most effective in the antiangiogenic assay.• Anti- Cerulein Pancreatitis Protective Activity: Study showed Gardenia jasminoides pretreatment ameliorated the severity of cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in rats.• Alzheimer's Disease / Amyloid Beta Peptide: The brains of Alzheimer's disease patients have large depositis of amyloid beta peptide known to increase free radical production in nerve cells leading to cell death. The study of extract of G jasminoides suggest it can reduce the cytotoxicity of amyloid beta peptide in PC 12 cells, possibly by reducing oxidative stress.• Immunosuppressive Iridoids: Study yielded a new iridoid, gardaloside and a new safranal-type monoterpene, jasminoside G, with 10 other known compounds from the fruits of G jasminoides. Four of the compounds showed significant inhibition of IL-2 secretion and anti-CD28 monoclonal antibody co-stimulated activiation of human peripheral blood T cells.

• Geniposide: Study showed geniposide, an extract from Gardenia jasminoides, to be the its main choleretic principle. It also markedly decreased the content of cholesterol and elevate HCO3 concentration in bile without affecting the bilirubin and bile acid levels.• Crocetin / Sleep Benefits: Crocetin is a pharmacologically active carotenoid compound of Gardenia jasminoides. In a doulbe-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial of 21 healthy adult men with mild sleep complaints, study results showed that crocetin may contribute to improving the quality of sleep.• Treatment Benefits / Acute Pancreatitis: Empirical studies on the use of extract of G jasminoides in treating acute pancreatitis showed that GJ remarkably reduces the serum amylase and myeloperoxidase levels of both serum and pancreatic tissue as well as TNF-alpha and interleukin-6 while also reducing injury by oxygen-free radicals, NO and endoxins. GJ extract has been found to lower vasopermeability and inflammation, improve pancreatic hemodynamics and inhibit the release of pancreatic enzymes and other biotic active factors.• Antifungal: Study showed the methanol extracts to show the highest level of antifungal activity against Pleurotus ostreatus, a wood-rotting fungus, compared to five other methanol extracts (T orientalis, D innoxia, L japonicum, J chinensis, M Japonica).• Anti-Inflammatory / Vascular-Inflammatory Inhibition: Study of extract of GJ showed inhibition of TNF-alpha-induced NF-kappaB activation, adhesion moleculre expression and monocyte-endothelial interaction, suggesting an anti-inflammatory role of EGJ, which may be useful in preventing vascular disease, such as atherosclerosis.
