Just FYI Quoting: whiteangel You can order it here: [link to www.sfherb.com] Anise Star, Standard, one pound, $7.20 it is light in weight, a pound is a good amount, about 8 cups. Description says "many stars broken, item is not select whole". I've ordered from San Francisco Herb a lot over the years, an excellent company to do business with, one of the best of many places I've bought from online. Another place to try is Monterey Bay Spice company [link to www.herbco.com] Theirs is the whole stuff, one pound 7.00, 1/4 lb 2.80 [link to www.herbco.com] |

(Peppernut) for after our relatives left the old country. Now I have a reason to make several more batches. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 50688875 Though, beware, it is getting harder and harder to actually find the seeds, easier to find the extract now. Anise seed is different than Star Anise but it is not hard to find either, at least not online, see the two suppliers I posted above. |

Raw garlic, pressed into olive oil and eaten immediately on a salad or mixed into soup or other food, as much as you can, would be good to try. Also horseradish, mixed with fresh lemon juice, you can eat that on crackers or cut up raw vegetables with hummous or other dip. Those are both very good for respiratory trouble and be sure to take vitamins, esp. Vitamin C, you also need magnesium, get a good form, not magnesium oxide, that's the common one and it's no good. Vitamin D, you can load up on very high doses of that for a couple of weeks, and vitamin A too. |

Washing your hands, or using an antiseptic wipe, whenever you are touching doorknobs at the clinic or anywhere really, during flu season is one of the best ways to protect yourself. (Turn the handle at the Dr. Office with a tissue or wipe, men use a hanky.) And at the drug store, pushing those baskets around, grab an ad paper and wrap it around the handle.....Use your wits and wash before you eat when you are out and as soon as you get home. Protect yourself during flu season. One back turns in parting to turn and turn again. Leaving is never going, its circling round the bend. |

What you mention is not the same Star Anise. [link to en.wikipedia.org] ...Japanese star anise (Illicium anisatum), a similar tree, is highly toxic and inedible; in Japan it has instead been burned as incense. Cases of illness, including "serious neurological effects, such as seizures", reported after using star anise tea may be a result of using this species. Japanese star anise contains anisatin, which causes severe inflammation of the kidneys, urinary tract and digestive organs.The toxicity of Illicium anisatum, also known as Shikimi, is caused by its containing potent neurotoxins (anisatin, neoanisatin, and pseudoanisatin), due to their activity as non-competitive antagonists of GABA receptors.[ |
