Benefits
A variety of epidemiological (disease and population) studies have found
that in populations with high-fiber diets, the incidence of colon cancer,
appendicitis, and diverticulosis are very low. Industrialized countries,
which largely have diets high in fat and low in fiber, have high incidence
of these diseases.
Fiber has long been recognized as one of the best food ingredients for
maintaining regularity and preventing constipation. Consuming fiber
reduces transit time and results in a more thorough evacuation of waste
materials.
Because fiber may cause starches and sugars to be absorbed more slowly into
the bloodstream, the amount of glucose in the blood is reduced and so is
the work required of the pancreas in producing insulin.
Water-soluble fiber may lower cholesterol. This is because fiber removes
bile acids from the body, and bile acids are made from cholesterol. In
order to replace the bile acids lost to fiber, the body pulls more
cholesterol out of the blood. This lowers cholesterol. However, not all
water-soluble fiber does this. The fiber found in oat bran, legumes, and
psyllium does. Studies reported by the Kellogg Company indicate that a
daily intake of 10 grams of psyllium may lower cholesterol by as much as 15
percent.
Because fiber is low in calories, it can be added to your diet, providing a
greater feeling of satiety without significantly increasing your caloric
intake. In other words, you may find yourself eating less. This is
beneficial in weight-loss programs.

Alfalfa - Medicago sativa
Alfalfa is one of the green grasses, which are some of the most
nutritionally rich foods there are. It is a source of chlorophyll, beta
carotene, and minerals. It is especially rich in minerals, as it pulls up
nutrients from root depths as great as 130 feet.
Black Walnut Hulls - Juglans nigra
The walnut fruit contains magnesium, protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron,
iodine, and potassium, as well as essential fatty acids. The leaves and
bark from the black walnut tree also have been used over the years.
Cascara Sagrada - Rhamnus purshiana
Seventeenth-century Spanish explorers named this plant cascara sagrada -
sacred bark - after they observed Native Americans using the bark. Common
to Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia, cascara sagrada's use spread
with the arrival of Europeans to North America. Soon, it was shipped to
Europe, where it became one of the most widely prepared and used laxatives.
It still is used today in many preparations.
Hibiscus Flower - Hibiscus sabdariffa
More than 300 species of hibiscus can be found around the world, growing in
both tropical and subtropical regions. It is often drunk as a tea.
Irish Moss - Chondrus crispus
Actually as seaweed, this plant saved many Irish during the potato famine
of the mid-19th century. It contains 15 of the 18 elements composing the
human body. It contains vitamins A, D, E, F, and K and is also high in
sodium, calcium, and sodium.
Licorice Root - Glycyrrhiza glabra
The therapeutic value of licorice was described in the Roman Empire and
mentioned in the first Chinese herbal. Native Americans also used wild
licorice for different ailments. It is commonly used in cough syrups and
cough drops.
Marshmallow Root - Althaea officinalis
Marshmallow root derives its botanical name from the Greek word
altho, which means "to heal". The entire plant, including the root,
leaves, and flowers, has been used for centuries. The leaves contain
flavonoids. A confection made from the herb was originally the inspiration
for the candy known as marshmallow, although the commercial product does
not contain any of the plant.
Mullein - Verbascum thapsus
Mullein has a long history of use. In India it is believed to ward off
spirits, and in Medieval Europe the plant was dipped in suet and used as a
torch. Mullein grows wild in most of the United States, Europe, and Asia
due to its ability to survive in marginal soils with little moisture. It
is used for a variety of purposes.
Oatstraw - Avena sativa
Oats are a traditional staple of Northern Europe. Cereal made from oatmeal
(the crushed grain) is a nutritious breakfast food in many parts of the
world. The entire plant is referred to as oatstraw, which is typically
gathered for use in herbal blends when the grain is ripe. Recent research
has shown that oat bran, and to a lesser extent oatmeal, may help reduce
high blood cholesterol. Oatstraw contains saponins, flavonoids, a number
of minerals, vitamins B1, B2, D, E, and carotene, as well as wheat protein.
Passionflower - Passiflora incarnata
Passionflower was used by Native Americans and later was "discovered" by
the Spanish. They gave it its name because they saw symbols of
Christianity in its design. The stem of the plant is crushed and brewed as
tea.
Psyllium - Plantago ovata
A grain grown in India, psyllium has been given a lot of attention lately
for its high content of soluble fiber - up to 70 percent. This is much
more soluble fiber than oat bran contains.
Pumpkin seeds - Cuburbita pepo
A native plant of the Americans, Native Americans grew pumpkins alongside
corn. Today it is one of the most familiar types of produce in North
America. Both the pumpkin seeds and pulp can be consumed, although it is
the seeds that have been used over the years for their beneficial effects.
Shavegrass - Equisetum arvense
Also known as horsetail grass, shavegrass is a member of one of the oldest
groups of plants on earth. The plant's success can be attributed to its
ability to grown in poor soil with minimum moisture. It has been used both
internally and externally since the 16th century, usually as a powder. As
an herb, the entire plant is used. It contains flavonoids and minerals.
Slippery Elm Bark - Ulmus rubra
The slippery elm tree is found in the central and northern parts of the
United States. It was used by North American Indians as a skin ointment.
At one time, the plant was listed in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia, a book
describing medicinal preparations.
Stevia - Stevia rebaudiana
Stevia, a plant native to Brazil and Paraguay, has been used for centuries
by the indigenous people of these countries. For some 40 years it has been
drunk as an herbal tea. Currently, there is much interest in stevia and
over 500 scientific articles have been published on it.
Violet - Viola odorata
Stories about the uses of violets date back to Greek mythology. Napoleon
Bonaparte gave violets to Josephine and later used the flower on his
political emblem. In Germany, finding the first spring violet was
celebrated with dancing. In 1960, scientific studies were undertaken to
try to determine the source of the plant's benefits. The violet flower is
a good source of vitamins A and C.
Witch Hazel - Hamamelis virginiana
Native Americans taught the first settlers how to use witch hazel for
medicinal purposes. Today it is sometimes used as a skin lotion or
aftershave. Its name does not come from "witches"; rather, it derives from
an old English word meaning "to bend."
Yucca - Yucca schidigera/Yucca brevifolia
The yucca is a cactus-like succulent common to the western United States
and most of Mexico. It has been commonly used by Native Americans for
centuries as a soap for personal hygiene and also as a detergent for
clothing. The soap is derived from the roots of the yucca plant.

increase to 1 teaspoon per day.
* Use for 3 months for initial program, then as desired.

consume. Drink eight glasses of water per day while using Herbal
Fiberblend®.
