Seed Pack Description
For hundreds of years before modern medicine, herbs were the medicine of early Americans, both Native and European. Even today, herbs remain one of the primary sources of medical remedies in both modern laboratories and natural medicine. Heirloom Organics offers the best selection of natural remedies available to the home gardener today.
THE PACK INCLUDES: (click to purchase)
Americans may have used echinacea for more than 400 years to treat infections and wounds and as a general “cure-all.” Today, people use echinacea to shorten the duration of the common cold and flu and reduce symptoms, such as sore throat (pharyngitis), cough, and fever. Many herbalists also recommend echinacea to help boost the immune system and help the body fight infections. Echinacea is well known for its anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties.
FENNEL
Fennel Teas, or Fennel Water have been used throughout history to break up kidney stones, increase the flow of milk in nursing mothers, a weight loss aid, help with menopausal symptoms, quiet hiccups, prevent nausea, aid digestion, prevent gout, purify the liver, reverse alcohol damage to the liver, and treat jaundice. For babies, it is said to to relieve colic and flatulence, and to expel worms. It may be effective when used along with conventional treatments in prostate cancer (and it is worth trying, but consult with your doctor first). The tea can also be gargled as a breath freshener and applied as an eye wash. Alternatively, the leaves can be dried, pulverized into a powder, and made into Capsules for when it’s not convenient to utilize a tea.
Used for centuries in European folk medicine as a remedy for headaches, arthritis, and fevers. The term feverfew is adapted from the Latin word febrifugia or “fever reducer.”Feverfew is also used to treat menstrual irregularities, labor difficulties, skin conditions, stomach aches, and asthma.
LAVENDER
Lavender has been used as an herbal remedy, and has antiseptic, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-convulsive, and anti-depressant properties. Internally, Lavender is believed to be of beneficial for ailments including stress, anxiety, exhaustion, irritability, headaches, migraines, insomnia, depression, colds, digestion, flatulence, upset stomach, liver and gallbladder problems, nervousness, loss of appetite, and as a breath freshener and mouthwash. Inhaling the essential oil in some cases has been reported to work as well as narcotics for inducing relaxation and sleep and reducing headache pain.
MULLEIN
Mullein has been used as an alternative medicine in many countries throughout the world. The value of Mullein as a proven medicinal herb is now backed by scientific evidence. Research indicates uses as analgesic, antihistaminic, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant, antiviral, bacteristat, cardio-depressant, estrogenic, fungicide, hypnotic, sedative and pesticide are valid.
STINGING NETTLE
Stinging nettle has been used to treat painful muscles and joints, eczema, arthritis, gout, and anemia. Today, many people use it to treat urinary problems during the early stages of an enlarged prostate (called benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH), urinary tract infections, hay fever (allergic rhinitis), or in compresses or creams for treating joint pain, sprains and strains, tendinitis, and insect bites.
VALERIAN
Valerian is a central nervous system relaxer, and as such has been used as a calming sleep aid for over 1,000 years. When taken in the proper dosage, Valerian can induce restful sleep without grogginess the next morning, unlike prescription drugs that mimic it’s properties, such as Valium. It is an effective stress reducer, and has benefit in cases of nervous tension, depression, irritability, hysteria, panic, anxiety, fear, stomach cramping, indigestion due to nervousness, delusions, exhaustion, and, of course, nervous sleeplessness. It also appears to have real benefits in cases of sciatica, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, shingles, and peripheral neuropathy, including numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, and pain in the extremities.

While Dropps provides a powerful scrub for your duds, it isn’t the harsh kind of cleaning found in other detergents. Instead, their kindly formula gets ferocious on the dirt, but is easygoing on your clothes, perfect for babies, kids and sensitive skin.
The Newest Dropps Product, Baby Dropps:
Dropps’ Smarter Laundry introduces a dye-free, enzyme-free formula. Dropps’ Baby formula is incredibly tender on sensitive baby’s skin, yet tough on dirt and odors. Dropps Baby leaves your family with loads of super-soft, itch-free, really clean clothes. And, Dropps pre-measured, dissolvable pacs, let mom do the laundry while holding that other bundle of joy. Just toss in a pac and go!
Dropps Save Water, Plastic, Trees, and Fossil Fuels.
Water:Because Dropps eliminates all water from their “detergent pacs”— the same water that’s already in your washer—Dropps’ formula saves millions of gallons a year.
Plastic:Dropps dissolvable “pacs” prove you can clean your clothes without wasting thousands of tons of plastic per year, unlike jug brands.
Trees:Dropps smaller, more flexible packaging requires fewer delivery boxes, which means millions of trees left planted in the earth.
Fossil Fuels:A fraction of the weight of water-filled jug brands, Dropps packaging is lighter for delivery trucks to carry, saving millions of gallons of gasoline and tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
Dropps are:
HE Compatible: High-efficiency washers need a low-lather detergent, like Dropps, because they use less water. Besides, big suds don’t equal big clean. Dropps’ smart detergent does.
Biodegradable:Dropps’ patented “pacs” dissolve completely and safely in the wash water, leaving nothing behind but happy clothes
Phosphate-free: The phosphates in some detergents leach algae blooms into waterways which suffocate the aquatic life below. Dropps is anti-phosphate.
Chlorine-free:Dropps avoids harsh chlorine and the polluted air it creates in your home.
NPE-free:NPEs take forever to degrade once in rivers and streams and mess with fish genes. Very un-Dropps.
Safe for Septic Tanks: Dropps does not disrupt the delicate balance of your home’s water service with corrosive additives.

These towels are styled with a solid section of gathered stripes at the edge of each end, for a fresh modern look.
Elements of nature unite to create these clean-lined clocks of solid cherry wood, copper and sea-washed stone. Black hands perch on a smooth time-weathered stone, and four copper inlays mark the face. No two exactly alike, just as mother nature intended.
