BODILY INFLUENCES: Willow Bark: Willow Bark is a source of natural aspirin. All willows are known to be active pain relievers. Perhaps the strongest is the White Willow. This natural source of aspirin will not cause your stomach to bleed or burn the nerves and brain. Willow Bark contains a compound known as a salicylate (sal'-liss-uh-late), which is the natural aspirin without the harmful, strong, synthetic vinegar used to manufacture tablets from synthetic salicylates in a plant somewhere. For those of you who wish to relieve pain and fevers, or keep your blood thinned and prevent clots which cause heart attacks, nature's perfect remedy is the Willow bark. Summer bowel complaints from children respond especially well to this remedy. Typhoid fever (potentially fatal, infectious bacterial disease, accompanied by high fever and abdominal red spots with discomfort, causing damage to the spleen, connective tissue around the intestine which connects to the back body wall and to the digestive area of the small intestine known as Peyer's Patches) finds its extract remedy in the Willow. Yellow Sandlewood is used for: acute dermatitis, bronchitis, cystitis, eye diseases, gonorrhea, herpes zoster, infection, palpitations, sunstroke, urethritis, and vaginitis. The medicinal properties of sandalwood reside in the oil, which can be pressed from the wood or extracted with alcohol or water. The antiseptic and disinfectant properties of this oil are similar to those of cubeb oil. The oil can also be used for bronchitis and for inflammation in mucous tissue. A decoction of the wood may be helpful for indigestion and fever and externally for skin problems, especially those of bacterial origin. Sandalwood cools and calms the entire body and mind. It affects the circulatory, digestive, respiratory and nervous systems. It relieves fever, thirst, burning sensation and stops sweating. It is good for fever or overexposure to the sun. Sandalwood is good for most of inflammatory conditions and for cleansing the blood. The oil or paste is useful for most infectious sores or ulcers if applied externally. Sandalwood helps the awakening of intelligence. Chuchuhuasi: (Chew-chew-huh-wah-see) in the South American Indian name for the rain forest tree known botanically as Maytenus macrocarpa. Its home is the steamy jungles of Peru, where it is well known and used by the people, especially in and around Iquitos, Peru on the Amazon River. Because of the remoteness of this area, its use was unknown to the rest of the world until recent times. Yet, it is now perhaps the most popularly used rain forest herb in Peru. Life in a jungle environment means dealing with infections, bites, and diseases of many kinds. Remedies must be found and used. Chuchuhuasi serves this multi-purpose function, and it is commonly taken in the liquid extract form. Among Chuchuhuasi's strongest properties is the building of the immunity and, at the same time, enhancing sexual activity and function. The ability of Chuchuhuasi to do this has attracted strong scientific interest. This is accomplished by using the root bark as a liquid and taking it orally three times per day. Rather than just working on the relief of symptoms, Chuchuhuasi apparently works on the actual cause of arthritis and, in this manner, restores joints to working order. This, or course, has aroused considerable excitement in the scientific community. The same can be said regarding Chuchuhuasi’s anti-tumor properties. The U.S.D.A. (United States Department of Agriculture) has isolated the alkaloid (active bitter compound) "Maytansine" as being most prominent in the compounds believed to be active in the shrinkage of tumors. As if all this would be enough to recommend the daily use of Chuchuhuasi, it is also applied to the skin to repel jungle mosquitoes. Now, the mosquitoes of the Peruvian jungle are rumored, by the local inhabitants, for the benefit of tourists, to be "So large you can hear them when they walk. And Senior, they may even possess backbones!" At any rate, accounts of their ferocity are legendary and Chuchuhuasi undoubtedly a welcome remedy. This unique combination addresses the torments of Arthritis, Rheumatism, Fibromyalgia, joints, hernia, sprains and pains, and helps rebuild connective tissue while also improving circulation. Lemon Grass has a reputation of being associated with longevity, possibly due to its demonstrated antibiotic properties and calming effect on the nervous system. Nutmeg is much enjoyed in North America as a spice, especially around Christmas and the New Year's observances, to flavor a drink known as eggnog. Since Nutmeg was first introduced into commerce in Europe, in the 12 century by Arab traders, it has been used to flavor foods, and for relief of nausea, vomiting, and gas. Use only is small amounts to achieve its calming and pleasing effects. Birch Bark acts as an effective remedy for cystitis and other infections of the urinary system, as well as removing excess water from the body. Perhaps because of this cleansing diuretic activity, the plant has been used for gout, rheumatism and mild arthritic pain. The bark will ease muscle pain. The medicinal parts of this plant include the young leaves and the bark. The primary chemical constituents of Birch Bark include saponins, essential oil (methyl salicylate), betulinic acid, tannin, flavonoids (hyperoside, luteolin, quercetin), bitter principle, and glycosides. Only the leaves are antibacterial. Birch Bark is being investigated for its anticancer potential, focusing on the betulinic acid content. Birch Bark has been used as an astringent, diuretic, and diaphoretic. Birch helps to cleanse the body of toxins, thin the blood, and relieve pain and inflammation. Typical uses include support for arthritis, boils, fever, gout, headache, kidney stones, rheumatism, and worms. Topical applications of this herb have included use as a poultice for  bruises, burns, eczema and wounds, as a bath herb for skin eruptions; and as a liniment for rheumatism. The essential oil is used in salves and medicated soaps for eczema and psoriasis. Historically, Birch has had several culinary uses: vinegar & wine have been made from the sap; the sap has been cooked into a sweet syrup; the bark has been used for making beer; the inner bark has been dried and ground into a flour; the inner bark has also been cut into thin strips and boiled with noodles; and the plant's young leaves & catkins have been added to salads. The inner bark contains an oil which is sometimes substituted for wintergreen in liniments. Distillation of the bark yields Birch tar oil, an astringent ingredient of ointments for eczema and psoriasis. A Birch leaf tea made by infusion is said to eliminate gravel, and dissolve kidney stones when taken daily for a period of time. The common name Birch also includes the species Betula lenta, Betula pendula (Silver Birch), Betula fontinalis, and Betula papyrifera, which are used interchangeably with Betula alba (White Birch). Oil of Patchouli is thick, the color being brownish-yellow tinted green. It contains coerulein, the vivid blue compound found in matricaria, wormwood and other oils. It deposits a solid, or stearoptene, patchouli alcohol, leaving cadinene. It is laevorotatory, with the specific gravity of 0.970 to 0.990 at 15 degrees C. (59 degrees F.). Its use is said to cause sometimes loss of appetite and sleep and nervous attacks. The Chinese, Japanese and Arabs believe it to possess prophylactic properties. Yellow Sandalwood has the beautiful, deep woody scent of sandalwood. It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine to cool and calm the mind and body and as an antiseptic for the skin and scalp. The aroma of sandalwood has a sedative effect that can help with nervousness and insomnia. Sandalwood paste has been used to treat skin diseases, dry skin, premature wrinkling, acne and external infections. Sandalwood powder can be used in facials, body powders, hair packs, soaps, salt scrubs, bath teas and bath salts. When used externally, Sandalwood oil or Sandalwood paste (made from mixing water with Sandalwood powder) has a calming, cooling effect on body and mind. It helps relieve fever and burns, and stops excessive sweating. In general it relieves Pitta dosha and helps balance the body after overexposure to the sun. The oil or the paste can help heal skin diseases such as infectious sores, ulcers, acne and rashes. Sandalwood powder helps smooth and cool the skin, and can be made into a paste, lotion or soap for cleansing, calming and hydrating sensitive or aging skin. Sandalwood acts as a disinfectant, diuretic, expectorant and sedative. It is bitter, sweet, astringent and cooling. Sandalwood balances the circulatory, digestive, respiratory and nervous systems.
