Pansy.
Brief Introduction: Pansy is easily recognized by its handsome, delicate flowers, which range in color from deep blue and bright yellow to pale violet and white. These flowers bloom from May to September and can be seen growing wild across temperate regions of North America and their native Europe, Asia, and North Africa. The plant is also widely cultivated. The above ground parts, including the flowers and the lobed oval leaves, are used medicinally.
Papaya.
Brief Introduction: The small papaya tree grows throughout tropical areas, and has large, hand-shaped leaves and yellowish-green, pear-shaped melons or fruit valued for their edible orange-yellow pulp. These fruits can weigh several pounds. Scoring the fully grown unripe melon produces a milky juice that contains a mixture of plant protein-degrading enzymes termed papain. The juice is collected and dried. Smaller concentrations of papain appear in the leaves as well. Papain is also used commercially. This latex and the papaya fruit, leaves, and seeds are all used medicinally.
Parsley.
Brief Introduction: Many varieties of bright green aromatic parsley are cultivated worldwide. They are distinguished largely by whether the leaves are divided, featherlike, curly, or flat. The characteristically spicy tiny fruits are gray to grayish-brown. Small yellowish flowers grow in clusters. The leaves, seeds, juicy stems, and roots are used in cooking and medicine, as is an oil extracted separately through steam distillation of the herb and seed.
Passionflower.
Brief Introduction: Passiflora incarnata is the most common species used for the medicinal purpose among hundreds of passionflower species, the dried flowers and oval pulpy fruit from this perennial climbing vine are used medicinally.
Peony.
Brief Introduction: Peony is a fragrant and sumptuous flower, its name has relations with the physician of the Greed gods Paeon, it flowers in early summer, with pink, purple-red, and white blossoms. It has been valued since ancient times as a decorative and medicinal plant. The flowers, roots, and seeds are used medicinally.
Pineapple.
Brief Introduction: Pineapple is a large, distinctively shaped, succulent reddish-yellow fruit. The fruit, juice, leaves, and extracted enzymes called bromelains are used medicinally. Pineapple also contains at least three other proteolytic enzymes, but they have not been as thoroughly studied as the bromelains.
Propolis.
Brief Introduction: Propolis is a resin collected by bees from plant spores or tree trunks, mixed with the secretions of the upper palate glands and wax glands, and processed into a colloidal solid with an aromatic smell. It is a yellowish-brown or dark-brown viscous substance secreted by honeybee species such as Chinese honeybee to repair the hive and can be used as medicine.
Pycnogenol.
Brief Introduction: Pycnogenol is an extract of certain pine trees, most commonly the European coastal pine, Pinus maritima, sometimes referred to as Pinus nigra var.maritima. It is an antioxidant and consists of a proprietary blend of biologically active substances called flavonoids. It refers to the group of flavonoids known as flavan-3-ol derivatives.
