Angelica was introduced to Scandinavia in around 950 AD, and it has taken a special position in the culture and tradition of the area ever since. It is used as a musical instrument, a drink, a spice and even as an ingredient in that most potent of drinks, Absinthe.

Chinese Ephedra

Ephedra is a controversial herb in the US, where it was marketed in many diet pills until recently. Suspicions that it may have caused high blood pressure and heart problems in certain patients saw it taken off the market in 2005. In small doses however, Ephedra is a useful ingredient in many herbal remedies.

Ephedra is only available in the US in other forms now – as an asthma, cold or allergy remedy. It is also available in traditional Chinese remedies, mainly focusing on lung problems and flu. Despite this, it remains hugely popular around the world and is cultivated on a large scale in China for both domestic use and export markets. More...

Ginger

Used for at least two thousand years in China as a remedy for upset stomachs, Ginger’s history in Asian cuisine actually goes back at least five thousand years! In more modern times, it was believed by Europeans to have come directly from the Garden of Eden, while the first American settlers used it to make beer.

These days, Ginger is still used by many herbologists to cure digestive problems, but it has also had success in treating the common cold, motion sickness and arthritis. More...

Licorice
