Hydrangea Root 5:1

History:

Hydrangeas are a plant group that consists of hardy and tender shrubs and woody climbers. They are mostly deciduous plants, although a few of the tender species are evergreen. The plants are natives of the Himalayas, North and South America, and central and eastern Asia. These flowering shrubs have different flower forms, from the large globes of the "mopheads," to the discs of the "lacecaps," to the thick cones of oakleaf and panicle Hydrangeas, to Hydrangea strigosa (which is a climbing variety). Four species of Hydrangea are native to North America and are cultivated for their stunning beauty (cultivars have some of the largest flower heads of any plants) and long-known therapeutic qualities. Hydrangea arborescens (the smooth Hydrangea) is an ornamental, perennial plant that may reach a height of nine feet and is considered a marsh, aquatic plant that may be found in woodlands and by stream banks. Its relation to water is demonstrated by its name, Hydrangea, which is a derivative of a Greek compound, signifying "water vessel," and it thrives in humus-rich soil in sun or partial shade, avoiding early morning sun in frosty areas. Hydrangea arborescens is commonly used in herbal preparations and is widely distributed across the eastern United States from New York to Florida, proliferating under forest canopies in moist soil along woodland banks and streams. Profuse in the Delaware Valley and Appalachian Mountains, its history in herbal therapy may be traced back to Native Americans who wisely knew of its value for urinary health. The Cherokees used it for urinary health, as well as a topical treatment for wounds and muscles. The early settlers adopted Hydrangea as an important herb in their own remedies and also used it for urinary and kidney health. It is considered a sweet, pungent herb with the roots used in herbal preparations. Some of the constituents in Hydrangea include two resins, gum, starch, sugar, albumin, a glucoside (hydrangin), volatile oil, quercetin, rutin, saponin, kaempferol, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium and zinc.
