Pacific Botanicals Growers & Suppliers of High Quality Certified Organically Grown Herbs & Spices Since 1979 Wholesale Catalogue Winter-Spring 2010-11 Dedicated to Empowering People Everywhere to Experience the Miracle of Good Health! In This Issue : Mark’s Farm Update, Toni’s Window, New Herbs for Fall, Custom Blending, Three Calming Herbs, New Guide for Fresh Harvest Baikul Skullcap, Scutellaria baicalensis and Fresh Shipping, The Famous Healing Weed; St. John’s Wort Mark’s Farm Update W e are moving into winter here at the farm. The light is starting to come in at that angle that makes things hazy and the colors warm. Even though nature is beginning to slow down we are still moving at full speed ahead to bring in the crops. Each year we hope that the rain waits for us to complete the harvest of the plants and dig the roots. This year, so far so good. Everyone is working hard, from the field workers harvesting clover and calendula by hand, to the people on the phones taking orders, to the millers, the tractor drivers and the administrative staff that keep our business rolling day to day. We are all trying to make sure our customers are happy. It takes a team, working together, to bring in the fresh herbs and ship this good medicine to our customers all over the world. This year we have some very good news from the fields. We are now one of only two farms in the U.S. cultivating and growing Plantain Plantago major. I am very pleased to see that the soils and climate here at Pa- cific Botanicals are ideally suited to this plant. Our crop is very robust and we should have plenty of stock available throughout the winter. As so many of you know plantain supports wound healing and promotes urinary tract and respiratory health. We are happy to be offering this high quality American grown herb to our customers. There are many facets to our farm processes that affect the quality of our herbs. First and foremost is experience. After 30 years and lots of trial and error we have acquired a good deal of knowledge on how to produce the finest and most potent botanicals. We understand our micro-climate and what grows well here. The quality of the air and water in the Applegate Valley are superb. We have honed our production processes together with the help of our great management team so that we can produce and deliver this high quality product over and over again each year. I guess the thing that is not so measurable but is just as key to what we do here is that we love what we are doing. We are still inspired as the seed becomes shoot, root, plant and then flower, knowing that eventually each herb will be medicine for an individual somewhere in the world. This passion still goes into our herbs. Well, that’s it for now. I hope you enjoy our catalog. All the best through the fall and the holidays, from our home to yours, Mark. —Mark Wheeler, Founder, Pacific Botanicals If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need. —Marcus Tillius Cicero New Products for Fall Sweet Fennel Seed (Foeniculum vulgare) Our Sweet Fennel seed is grown here on the farm. It contains the terpenoid anethole which is found in the volatile oil. Anethole may have estrogen-like activity and inhibit spasms in smooth muscles such as those in the intestinal tract. In Germany it is used as a treatment for indigestion, gas pains and infant colic. Marshmallow Leaf (Althaea officinalis) The roots are used for the digestive system while the leaves are used for the urinary system and lungs. The leaves may help in cystitis, urethritis and urinary gravel as well as bronchitis, respiratory catarrh and irritating coughs. Table of Contents General Herbs & Spices........pages 4-12 Sea Vegetables..................................page 10 Super Food Powders.....................page 10 Indian Sarsaparilla (Hemidesmus indicus) It is one of the Rasayana (rejuvenation) plants of Ayurveda, as it is anabolic (building tissues and organs) in its effect. It stimulates the flow of bile and removes toxins from the body. It is also a good diuretic. When used with Tinospora cordifolia (Guduchi), a liver protector, the herb's effect is enhanced. Nutritional Yeast Flakes (Saccaromyces cerevisiae) After so many requests from customers we now offer Red Star nutritional yeast flakes as part of our SuperFood line. Nutritional yeast is a source of complete protein and B-complex vitamins. It is naturally low in fat and sodium, and has a savory flavor that is described as nutty or cheesy. It is used as a healthy condiment on many natural foods.

Below you will find some helpful information. vegetable products, and those listed with an (*), are kosher certified by Earth Kosher, www. earthkosher.com. Wildcrafted Herbs and Herbs Grown Without Chemicals Salmon Safe Certified Some of our herbs are carefully harvested and dried by wildcrafters known to us who follow strict harvesting guidelines established by the company. Herbs that are Grown Without Chemicals (GWC) are grown and shipped to us chemical-free. We offer them with the knowledge that they are grown, harvested and shipped to us with the same quality and care that we require of our Certified Organically Grown and Wildcrafted herbs. Pacific Botanicals is recognized for its farming practices and conservation measures which adhere to strict guidelines of sustainability for the salmon in our watershed. Certified Species In order to serve our customers’ requirements for positive botanical identity, we have received Certificates of Authenticity from the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia for almost all of the herbs grown on the farm which are available on request. The Herbal Pharmacopeia uses many of our herbs to develop the identity “footprint” which other testing facilities then use to compare results with their own herbs. Distinguished Memberships We are proud to be members of the American Herbal Products Association, United Plant Savers, Northwest Coalition for Alternatives to Pesticides, The American Botanical Council, and The American Herbal Pharmcopoiea. Kosher Certification European Union Compliant All herbal products sold, except for the sea Toni’s Window on the Field W e are really busy here at the farm as the last of the fresh herbs are harvested and either shipped fresh or dried, cut, and stored to be ready for sale to our customers. We are harvesting the last of the roots. I can see the big diggers out the window. The root washers are going and the leaves on the trees surrounding the farm are turning rust, red, and golden It is amazing to me how fast this summer has gone. I have fond memories of camping and biking around the coastal headlands. A little cooler this year, but still wonderful. One of the things that we do here at the farm during the warm months is give tours to different groups: interns, naturopath doctors, students and herbalists. This year in addition to the students and interns, we had a magical visit with the children and parents of the Waldorf Farm School in Ashland, OR. This school has a unique approach to elementary education that is near to our hearts. In addition to its unique curriculum they have school in a barn on a 10 acre farm! The children are learning to be grounded in farm processes and gardening in addition to educating the intellect. It was so wonderful to see very young children romping around in the big fields sniffing and tasting all of the herbs. We are so glad that we can expose them to botanicals at this young age and hope it will plant a seed that will flower when they are grown. Who knows what budding herbalists and Naturopathic M.D.’s we had scurrying through our clover fields. Their sweet intense energy was such a delight. As we head into winter I hope you will think about a growing contract with us next year. Contract growing a l l ow s o u r customers to plan ahead to make sure that they have the type and consistent quality and quantity of herbs they need for manufacture or proprietary formulas no matter what the market or other growers are doing. We are also offering custom blending this fall for the first time. Call me to see if we can support your business with these services. Well, I hope you are ready for another year and I hope this new year will be full of joy for you and yours. Stay warm and be blessed.

At Pacific Botanicals we have years of experience harvesting, packing, and shipping freshly harvested herbs. Very few growers do this. It is one of our specialties. We encourage you to call early in the season to reserve your portion of the harvest. Below is our price list and the season you will need to call to place your fresh order. On page 12 there is a list of the fresh harvested herbs and the number of times (in parentheses) in the year that each herb is harvested. These time frames are approximate because of the fickleness of Mother Nature. Remember, fresh harvests are limited so we highly recommend you plan ahead and reserve your supply.

It is human nature to be anxious or tense given the amount of stress we deal with everyday. The older we get the more we realize that peace of mind is one of the most precious personal assets we can have. Whatever we can do to improve our serenity helps us in our daily lives. Here are three calming herbs that offer us a little help from our friends so to speak. Whether in tinctures or tea blends these herbs can support peace of mind. Hops (Humulus lupulus,top) Used for over 500 years in the making of beer, hops contain lupulin, bitters, resin, volatile oil, and tannin. The plant has sedative, hypnotic, and astringent properties as well as mild estrogenic properties. For some the scent alone has a sedative effect. Hence, “hops flower pillows,” for supporting a good nights sleep Passion Flower (Passiflora incarnata, middle) Its name comes from the striking crimson and black petals which resemble the crown of thorns in the passion of Christ. It supports relief for anxiety, stage fright, muscle pain and insomnia. Combine it with chamomile, hops, catnip and spearmint for a calming tea. Valerian (Valeriana officinalis, bottom) First cultivated in America by the Shaker religious community in the mid 1800’s Valerian played a key role in the medicinal herb industry of the time. It still does today. It is useful in supporting the nervous system and does not cause the hangover, or morning after feeling, associated with chemical sedatives of today. As with all medicinal botanicals we recommend consult—J. Donald Walters ing a qualified physician when using them in conjunction with pharmaceutical medications. There are realities we all share, regardless of our nationality, language, or individual tastes. As we need food, so do we need emotional nourishment: love, kindness, appreciation, and support from others. We need to understand our environment and our relationship to it. We need to fulfill certain inner hungers: the need for happiness, for peace of mind, for wisdom. One man’s weed is another man’s Miracle The Amazing Healer: St. John’s Wort A s so many of you know, SJW is an amazing plant. It is sometimes referred to as the “happy” plant. It has been long recognized to support a sense of well being. And, most recently scientists have found that it is just as effective as Prozac in treating depression. German scientist, Dr. Klaus Linde, from the Centre for Complementary Medicine in Munich, pooled data from twenty nine studies involving 5,489 patients with mild to moderately severe depression. ‘Overall, the St. John’s Wort extracts tested in the trials were superior to placebo, similarly effective as standard anti-depressants, and had fewer side effects than the pharmaceuticals’, he said. Product constituencies may vary, so for the best product sources it is always best to get advice from a qualified practitioner. On the other hand...many have considered SJW , also known as Klamath weed, a noxious weed. Its eradication from Northern California cattle country became the most celebrated biological control success story in American history. Introduced to Pennsylvania in 1793, the yellow-flowering plant had both medicinal and religious meaning for the Europeans who brought it here. By the 1940’s, the plant, toxic to livestock, had spread across the continent, rendering more than five million acres of cattle grazing rangeland useless. Scientists recruited natural predators to control the weed, and Chrysolina, a group of Eurasian beetle species, were released in the western United States in 1945 and 1946. As soon as the insects established themselves in their new home, St. John’s Wort populations crashed in California, freeing up hundreds of thousands of acres and saving an estimated $3.5 million per year throughout the 1950’s. The Directors of the Humboldt County Wool Grower’s Association and the Humboldt County Cattlemen’s Association in northern California were so thrilled with the results, they erected a statue of Chrysolina in the town of Arcata, California. But...of course...we are glad they did not eradicate it all. At Pacific Botanicals our SJW is ethically and sustainably harvested in the wild. The timing and health of the plant is crucial to its potency. We only use trusted, experienced wildcrafters that we have built relationships with over time. Each wildcrafter must meet our strict ethical guidelines for environmentally friendly harvesting. 15 PRSRT STD U.S. POSTAGE PAID Pacific Botanicals, LLC Medford, OR Permit No. 110 4840 Fish Hatchery Road Grants Pass, OR 97527 Wholesale Catalog Winter-Spring 2010-11 Visit us online: www.pacificbotanicals.com E-mail: [email protected] Sometimes I Wonder What it must be like... S ometimes, when I’m staring out the window of my office, or walking down the path past the rows of crops, I wonder what it must be like to be a plant. Maybe you have too from time to time. What must it be like to be rooted so firmly in the ground? Strong in wind and rain, wound and woven close to a whole field of friends who are so much like you but not exactly. Do they sense their closesness to each other? Do they always get along? What would it be like to spread your petals in the sun? Face turned up to the endless sky. Stretching upward faithfully surrendered to the warming light. Fully open all the day following the sun from east to west. Drinking in the penetrating rays. Patient over days and days to observe the simple coming and passing of the changing shades of sky. Humbly closing without worry for the night. And what about when you and I pass by? By tractor or by feet. Do they sense us? Making a riffle in the air. A brightly charged cloud of chatter or thought as we stroll by. Do they silently acknowledge “the breathing ones?-- Our colorful hair and hats--Our fragrance and gait--Our bright faces in the sun. Can they feel our turmoil or our joy as we pound our boots along the dusty track? Do they feel affection for the beauty of our kind? Each of us so different and unique. As we do them. Do they sleep peacefully at night and dream of earthworms lighlty brushing their dangling roots? Do they worship the falling rain that cleanses in a thrill and sinks down to stir the dark mineral stew for those who do not toil and do not spin? And the bees? Called to the spinning honey glow, and the nectar, and the seductive color refined over centuries. Are the flowers excited at their approach? Do they feel the whisper of the vibrating air from beating wings, the rubbing of moving legs that catch the furry pollen and the delicate touch of tiny feet dancing on their sensitive leaves? Do they cherish their being freely blooming even if only for a season? A few glorious months in the sun? I wonder sometimes, don’t you, what it must be like.—DE.
