Herbaldistillate
Herbaldistillatesareaqueousproductsofdistillation.Theyare
colloidal suspensions (hydrosol) of essential oils as well as
watersoluble components obtained by steam distillation or
hydro distillation from plants/herbs. These herbal distillates
have uses as flavorings, medicine and in skin care. Herbal
distillates go by many other names including floral water,
hydrosol,hydrolate,herbalwaterandessentialwater.
Herbaldistillatesareproducedinthesameorsimilarmanneras
essentialoils.However,theessentialoilwillfloattothetopof
the distillate where it is removed, leaving behind the watery
distillate. For this reason perhaps the term essential water is
more descript. In the past, these essential waters were often
considered a byproduct of distillation, but now are considered
animportantcoproduct.
The science of distillation is based on the fact that different
substances vaporize at different temperatures. Unlike other
extraction techniques based on solubility of a compound in
either water or oil, distillation will separate components
regardless of their solubility. The distillate will contain
compounds that vaporize at or below the temperature of
distillation.Theactualchemicalcomponentsofdistillateshave

Herbal waters contain diluted essential oils. Besides aromatic

Cosmetics and toiletries makers are finding many uses for

Malabathrum, malabathron, or malobathrum, is the name

used in classical and medieval texts for certain cinnamonlike
aromatic plant leaves and an ointment prepared from those
leaves. Cinnamomum tamala (sometimes given as
Cinnamomum tejpata), grown most commonly in the eastern
Himalayas, are thought to be notable sources of these leaves,
although other species of Cinnamomum and even plants in
other genera may also have been used. In ancient Greece and
Rome, the leaves were used to prepare a fragrant oil, called
OleumMalabathri,andwerethereforevaluable.
Malabathrum is mentioned in the first century Greek text
PeriplusMarisErytraeiandsourcedtoapeoplecalledSsatai,
identified with Kirradai (Kirata) of Ptolemy. Though
Malabathrum was a product of Northeast India, it was rarely
tradedbythewesterntradersatthemouthoftheGanges,which
ismuchclosertothesource,butatsouthwesternIndianportsof
Muziris/Nelkynda It is mentioned in the Periplus that some
people collected the green leaves after the Ssatai in the
northeast,preparedthem,andcarriedthemtotheportsoftrade.
In the language of Kerala, Malayalam, the plant is called
'Vazhana'.Itisalsoknownas'Edana'inMalayalam.Thename
Malabathrum is also used in mediaeval texts to describe the
dried leaves of a number of trees of the genus Cinnamomum,
whichwerethoughttohavemedicinalproperties.

Mate([mate],[mati]sometimeserroneouslyspelledmatin

yerbamate,chimarro([im

is a traditional South American caffeinerich infused drink,

"national infusion"), Uruguay, Paraguay, the Bolivian Chaco

It is prepared by steeping dried leaves of yerba mate (Ilex
paraguariensis, known in Portuguese as ervamate) in hot
water and is served with a metal straw from a shared hollow
calabash gourd. The straw is called a bombilla in Spanish, a
bomba in Portuguese, and a bombija or, more generally, a
masassa (type of straw) in Arabic. The straw is traditionally
made of silver. Modern, commercially available straws are
typicallymadeofnickelsilver,calledalpacastainlesssteel,or

Jalap is a cathartic drug, its use largely archaic in the West,

consisting of the tuberous roots of Ipomoea purga, a
convolvulaceousplantgrowingontheeasterndeclivitiesofthe
Sierra Madre Oriental of Mexico at an elevation of 5000 to
8000 ft. above sea level, more especially about the
neighbourhood of Chiconquiaco on the eastern slope of the
CofredePeroteinthestateofVeracruz.
JalaphasbeenknowninEuropesincethebeginningofthe17th
century, and derives its name from the city of Xalapa in
Mexico, near which it grows, but its botanical source was not
accurately determined until 1829, when Dr. J. R. Coxe of
Philadelphiapublishedadescription.
The ordinary drug is distinguished in commerce as Vera Cruz
jalap,fromthenameoftheportwhenceitisshipped.Jalaphas
beencultivatedformanyyearsinIndia,chieflyatOotacamund,
andgrowsthereaseasilyasayam,oftenproducingclustersof
tubers weighing over 9 lb but these, as they differ in
appearance from the commercial article, have not as yet
obtained a place in the English market. They are found,
however,toberichinresin,containing18%.Theplantalsohas
beengrowninJamaica,atfirstamongstthecinchonatrees,but
more recently in new ground, as it was found to exhaust the
soil. Besides Mexican or Vera Cruz jalap, a drug called
Tampico jalap has been imported for some years in
considerable quantity. It has a much more shrivelled
appearanceandpalercolourthanordinaryjalap,andlacksthe
small, transverse scars present in the true drug. This kind of
jalap, the purga de Sierra Gorda of the Mexicans, was traced
byDanielHanburytoIpomoeasimulans.
Ipomoea jalapa is yet another morning glory species from
whichjalapisobtaineditwasfirstscientificallydescribed(as
Convolvulus jalapa) by Linnaeus. However, it is not of great
commercial importance. As it also occurs in Veracruz, it was
longconfusedwithI.purga,evenbysucheminentbotanistsas

The consumption of yerba mate became widespread in the

Spanish settlers and indigenous Guarans, who had to some
extent consumed it before the Spanish arrival. Mate
consumption spread in the 17th century to the Platine region

In the mid 17th century Jesuits managed to domesticate the
plant and establish plantations in their Indian reductions in
Misiones, sparking severe competition with the Paraguayan
harvesters of wild stands. After the expulsionoftheJesuits in
the 1770s their plantations fell into decay as did their
domestication secrets. The industry continued to be of prime

Mandrake(plant)
Mandragora officinarum or mandrake is the type species of
the plant genus Mandragora. As of 2015, sources differ
significantly in the species they use for Mandragora plants
native to the Mediterranean region. In the narrowest
circumscription, M. officinarum is limited to small areas of
northernItalyandthecoastofformerYugoslavia,andthemain
speciesfoundaroundtheMediterraneaniscalledMandragora
autumnalis, the autumn mandrake. In a broader
circumscription,alltheplantsnativetothecountriesaroundthe
Mediterranean Sea are placed in M. officinarum, which thus
includes M. autumnalis. The names autumn mandrake and
Mediterranean mandrake are then used. Whatever the
circumscription, Mandragora officinarum is a perennial
herbaceousplantwithovateleavesarrangedinarosette,athick
uprightroot,oftenbranched,andbellshapedflowersfollowed
byyellowororangeberries.
Because mandrakes contain deliriant hallucinogenic tropane
alkaloids and the shape of their roots often resembles human
figures, they have been associated with a variety of
superstitiouspracticesthroughouthistory.Theyhavelongbeen
used in magic rituals, today also in contemporary pagan
traditionssuchasWiccaandOdinism. However, the socalled
"mandrakes" used in this way are not always species of

MonsantoSaysPanelToReviewWHO
FindingOnCancerLinkToHerbicide
July 14 (Reuters) Monsanto Co, whose Roundup product is
one of the world's most widely used herbicides, said on
Tuesday it has arranged for an outside scientific review of a
World Health Organization finding that the weed killer's key
ingredient probably causes cancer. The WHO's International
Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) said in March that it
had concluded that the ingredient, called glyphosate, was
probably carcinogenic after reviewing a range of scientific
literature. Monsanto reacted to the finding by demanding a
retraction, labeling the findings by a team of international
cancerscientistsas"junkscience."

DrumCastle
Drum Castle is a castle near Drumoak in Aberdeenshire,
Scotland. For centuries it was the seat of the chief of Clan
Irvine. The placename Drum is derived from Gaelic druim,
'ridge'.
The original 13thcentury tower of Drum Castle has been
suggested as the work of medieval architect Richard
Cementarius,whobuilttheBridgeofDoninOldAberdeen. It
is believed to be one of the three oldest tower houses in
Scotland (and notably unaltered). A large wing was added in
1619bythe9thlaird,andfurtheralterationsweremadeduring
theVictorianera.
