Gardening, Plants & Accessories

Athens has a wide range of excellent mid-range hotels, many conveniently placed in and around the Plaka district. They give easy access to the Acropolis, many museums, good shopping and the widest choice of eating places, only a few minutes’ walk from Syntagma Square and fashionable Kolonaki. It is far easier for the average visitor to find a good and affordable central hotel in Athens than it is in most other European capitals.

Accommodation is inspected regularly by the Tourist Police and graded according to a range of criteria. The top grade is Luxury, the rest go from A to E class. The grade affects the prices, which are fixed by law ¬though this is not to say that an unofficial price may not be sometimes agreed. Prices are per room not per person, though a single traveler may be offered a discount on a double room, if available. Prices should be displayed in the room, though this is not always adhered to, and in any case price lists can be confusing. Prices vary with the season, last year’s list may not have been updated, and prices might be quoted with or without taxes, and with or without breakfast. In the unlikely event of your being grossly overcharged, report the matter to the Tourist Police. They have the power to close establishments down, and few hotel owners would risk that against a short-term gain from a tourist.

Luxury hotels are of the same standard as anywhere else in the world, A and B class generally have all or most of their rooms with private facilities, C class hotels can be anything, while in D and E class you should not expect private facilities and these are mainly low budget options. The grading system is only a general guideline to standards. An A class hotel has many more facilities and is three times as costly the former. It is perfectly acceptable to ask to see a room before committing yourself. Foreign visitors must surrender their passports until the details have been entered in the hotel’s records. This can take anything from one minute to several days.

Arriving without Accommodation

If you are arriving by air, the Greek National Tourist Organization has an information desk at the El Venizelos Airport (tel: 210 3530000) or visit the airport site www.aia.gr and can advise. In Piraeus, their office is in the EOT building on the Zea Marina harbor (tel: 413-5716). If these are closed, head for central Athens, taking the airport bus to Syntagma or the metro from Piraeus to Monastiraki. Both destinations are on the edge of the Plaka, where there are many excellent inexpensive hotels. There are three on Kodrou alone, and if these are full the owners will direct you to others near by. In any case it is difficult to walk in Athens with baggage for more than five minutes without being asked if you are looking for a hotel. Here common sense must prevail. Some of the offers will be genuine, though naturally you will be guided to a friend’s or relative’s hotel.

It is unlikely you will be led down a dark alley and mugged, though there are confidence tricksters as in all cities. Ask the person the name of the hotel, where it is, how far it is and how much it will cost. If the answers are vague (’come with me, I show you, not far’), it is best to stay where you and ask a policeman or shopkeeper for help. It is better to ask a shopkeeper, who knows the area and is known, rather than rely on an unknown stranger in the street.

Cornsilk Powder (Zea mays) 1 lb: C $10.68 This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Cornsilk is the long styles and stigmata of the flower pistils. The stigmas are the fine soft, yellowish threads from the female flowers and are usually four to eight inches long. It is gathered when the plant has shed its pollen. Cornsilk has often been used as a tea, but also powdered as a food additive. It has also been used as a flavor component for some major food products and face powders. Cornsilk is sweet and easy to chew. In Mexico the silky filaments just inside the husk are sold in bulk as good food and safe medicine for renal problems in both adults and children. Cornsilk is effective either fresh or dried. Laboratory analysis reveals high amounts of silicon, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and phosphorus. It is also an excellent source of B vitamins and PABA. Along with chlorophyll, resin and a fixed oil, maizenic acid is the active principle in cornsilk. Vitamin K is used by the body's mechanism that controls bleeding. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'A mild stimulant, diuretic and demulcent, useful in acute and chronic cystitis and in the bladder irritation of uric acid and phosphatic gravel...' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Corn-silk is diuretic and slightly anodyne, and, for the former purpose, has been found useful in many urinary troubles, associated with renal and cardiac disorders. In southern France, the inhabitants use it as a domestic remedy for calculi, gravel, and strangury. It has been found of value by physicians in the treatment of cystic irritation, due to phosphatic and uric acid concretions, and in both acute and chronic inflammations of the bladder.' Eclectic Materia Medica, 1922 (Felter): 'Zea (Stigmata Maydis) is diuretic, slightly anodyne, and is said to exert a stimulant effect upon the heart and blood vessels. The infusion, the best preparation, is an efficient stimulating diuretic in urinary irritation and inflammation, pyelitis, and catarrh of the bladder. It is especially valued when the urine contains phosphatic and uric acid concretions, and there is a disposition to dropsical accumulations. Its action is quite positive in pyelitis, chronic cystitis and to relieve ardor urinae in gonorrhea.' 'For the bladder affections of children it is one of the most valued of urinary sedatives, and may be freely administered where there is a disposition to decomposition of the urine while still in the bladder. The virtues are attributed mostly to the maizenic acid present.'

Cornstarch Powder (Zea mays) 1 lb: C $3.58 This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Cornstarch is, of course, a superb all-purpose thickening agent in cooking. It's made by pulverizing the ground, dried residue of corn grains after preparatory soaking and the removal of the embryo and the outer covering. It’s also a great body talc – far superior to mineral talcum powders. The American Cancer Society and National Ovarian Cancer Coalition, among others, are recommending that women use cornstarch powders, rather than talcum powders, in the genital area. 'Talcum Powder and Cancer' from the ACS states: 'Until additional information is available, women may wish to consider avoiding these products or substituting cornstarch-based powders that contain no talc.' When asked why cornstarch is safer to use than talc, Dr. Whysner explains, 'Cornstarch is the way that the corn plant stores energy. It's also the starch that is used in food products, and the body can digest cornstarch. Talc, on the other hand, is a mineral. It's mined from the earth, and the body has a difficult time removing it.' Dr. Pennisi adds, 'Since cornstarch is derived from corn and that's a food, our body has natural enzymes to break it down rather easily, whereas talc, which is a mineral and not normally found in the body, cannot be broken down by the body.' The American Health Foundation paper, he adds, says essentially three things: 1) Unlike talc, cornstarch feminine powders have never been associated with ovarian cancer. 2) By the very nature of cornstarch, any association with ovarian cancer is not biologically plausible. 3) Cornstarch is a safe alternative to talc in feminine powders.

Cornsilk has often been used as a tea, but also powdered as a food additive. It has also been used as a flavor component for some major food products and face powders. Cornsilk is sweet and easy to chew. In Mexico the silky filaments just inside the husk are sold in bulk as good food and safe medicine for renal problems in both adults and children. Cornsilk is effective either fresh or dried. Laboratory analysis reveals high amounts of silicon, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and phosphorus. It is also an excellent source of B vitamins and PABA. Along with chlorophyll, resin and a fixed oil, maizenic acid is the active principle in cornsilk. Vitamin K is used by the body's mechanism that controls bleeding. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'A mild stimulant, diuretic and demulcent, useful in acute and chronic cystitis and in the bladder irritation of uric acid and phosphatic gravel...' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Corn-silk is diuretic and slightly anodyne, and, for the former purpose, has been found useful in many urinary troubles, associated with renal and cardiac disorders. In southern France, the inhabitants use it as a domestic remedy for calculi, gravel, and strangury. It has been found of value by physicians in the treatment of cystic irritation, due to phosphatic and uric acid concretions, and in both acute and chronic inflammations of the bladder.' Eclectic Materia Medica, 1922 (Felter): 'Zea (Stigmata Maydis) is diuretic, slightly anodyne, and is said to exert a stimulant effect upon the heart and blood vessels. The infusion, the best preparation, is an efficient stimulating diuretic in urinary irritation and inflammation, pyelitis, and catarrh of the bladder. It is especially valued when the urine contains phosphatic and uric acid concretions, and there is a disposition to dropsical accumulations. Its action is quite positive in pyelitis, chronic cystitis and to relieve ardor urinae in gonorrhea.' 'For the bladder affections of children it is one of the most valued of urinary sedatives, and may be freely administered where there is a disposition to decomposition of the urine while still in the bladder. The virtues are attributed mostly to the maizenic acid present.'

Zea: Maize $14.14 Zea: Maize

Corn, Sweet Whole (Zea mays) 1 lb: K $22.86 This is Frontier’s double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. Corn or maize is a domesticated plant of the Americas. Over a period of thousands of years, Native Americans purposefully transformed maize from a wild grass (Teosinte) originally growing in southern Mexico 7,000 years ago. By systematically collecting and cultivating those plants best suited for human consumption, Native Americans encouraged the formation of ears or cobs on early maize. The first ears of maize were only a few inches long and had only eight rows of kernels. Eventually the productivity of maize cultivation was great enough to make it possible for a family to produce food for the bulk of their diet for an entire year from a small area. Along with many other indigenous plants like beans, squash, melons, tobacco, and roots such as Jerusalem artichoke, European colonists in America quickly adopted maize agriculture from Native Americans. Crops developed by Native Americans quickly spread to other parts of the world as well. This sweet, nutitious vegetable eventually transformed human agriculture worldwide.

Cornstarch Powder Cert. Organic (Zea mays) 1 lb: K $7.11 This is Frontier’s double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. Cornstarch is, of course, a superb all-purpose thickening agent in cooking. It's made by pulverizing the ground, dried residue of corn grains after preparatory soaking and the removal of the embryo and the outer covering. It’s also a great body talc – far superior to mineral talcum powders. The American Cancer Society and National Ovarian Cancer Coalition, among others, are recommending that women use cornstarch powders, rather than talcum powders, in the genital area. 'Talcum Powder and Cancer' from the ACS states: 'Until additional information is available, women may wish to consider avoiding these products or substituting cornstarch-based powders that contain no talc.' When asked why cornstarch is safer to use than talc, Dr. Whysner explains, 'Cornstarch is the way that the corn plant stores energy. It's also the starch that is used in food products, and the body can digest cornstarch. Talc, on the other hand, is a mineral. It's mined from the earth, and the body has a difficult time removing it.' Dr. Pennisi adds, 'Since cornstarch is derived from corn and that's a food, our body has natural enzymes to break it down rather easily, whereas talc, which is a mineral and not normally found in the body, cannot be broken down by the body.' The American Health Foundation paper, he adds, says essentially three things: 1) Unlike talc, cornstarch feminine powders have never been associated with ovarian cancer. 2) By the very nature of cornstarch, any association with ovarian cancer is not biologically plausible. 3) Cornstarch is a safe alternative to talc in feminine powders.

Corn Silk 4:1 Powdered Extract (Zea mays) 10 kg (22 lbs): Q $398.47 Cornsilk is the long styles and stigmata of the flower pistils. The stigmas are the fine soft, yellowish threads from the female flowers and are usually four to eight inches long. It is gathered when the plant has shed its pollen. Cornsilk has often been used as a tea, but also powdered as a food additive. It has also been used as a flavor component for some major food products and face powders. Cornsilk is sweet and easy to chew. In Mexico the silky filaments just inside the husk are sold in bulk as good food and safe medicine for renal problems in both adults and children. Cornsilk is effective either fresh or dried. Laboratory analysis reveals high amounts of silicon, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and phosphorus. It is also an excellent source of B vitamins and PABA. Along with chlorophyll, resin and a fixed oil, maizenic acid is the active principle in cornsilk. Vitamin K is used by the body's mechanism that controls bleeding.

Corn Cob (Zea mays; Yu Mi Xin) 5:1 Extract Powder 100 gm: V $18 This is a potent 5 to 1 powdered extract, meaning that one gram of extract is equal in potency to 5 grams of herb. This extract is packed in Plum Flower Brand's nitrogen-flushed, safety-sealed dispenser bottle, a sample of which is pictured above. Plum Flower is one of the most distinguished herb houses in the world. This is a pure herbal product with no additives. Extracted from sulfur-free and chlorine-free herbs for superior quality. Manufactured in a low-temperature water extraction process to preserve herb integrity. Extracted essential oils are replenished for proper potency. Strict quality control testing to ensure microbiological and heavy metal safety. Only powdered herb added to maintain purity (no artificial fillers such as lactose, cellulose or starch used). TLC (Thin-layer Chromatography) tested to guarantee product quality. Plum Flower takes great care to preserve delicate herbal oils, which are first evaporated using either a water or water-alcohol base in a process that never exceeds 100° centigrade. Sealed vacuum chargers precisely control the temperature, ensuring that none of the oils are lost. Cheaper, high-temperature methods are common industry practice, but these tend to burn off the vital oils. The facilities in Lanzhou and Guang Zhou, China, scientifically test each batch of herbs before, during and after the processing to make sure that all the active ingredients are present. Herbs are also tested to ensure that the formulas surpass all FDA guidelines regarding heavy metals. Those herbs exported to the U.S. are voluntarily submitted to the FDA for approval. Finally, batches are regularly sent out for quality control testing in third-party labs to double-ensure that Plum Flower products are 100% free of pharmaceuticals, preservatives and dyes. The Lanzhou and Guang Zhou factories are so clean, they are certified by the Australian Government’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (GMP). These standards surpass any of the FDA, and are considered the highest for any government agency in the world.

Corn, Purple (Zea mays) Powdered Extract 4:1, 1 kg (2.2 lbs): RF $47.6 This is purple corn. Corn or maize is a domesticated plant of the Americas. Over a period of thousands of years, Native Americans purposefully transformed maize from a wild grass (Teosinte) originally growing in southern Mexico 7,000 years ago. By systematically collecting and cultivating those plants best suited for human consumption, Native Americans encouraged the formation of ears or cobs on early maize. The first ears of maize were only a few inches long and had only eight rows of kernels. Eventually the productivity of maize cultivation was great enough to make it possible for a family to produce food for the bulk of their diet for an entire year from a small area. Along with many other indigenous plants like beans, squash, melons, tobacco, and roots such as Jerusalem artichoke, European colonists in America quickly adopted maize agriculture from Native Americans. Crops developed by Native Americans quickly spread to other parts of the world as well. This sweet, nutitious vegetable eventually transformed human agriculture worldwide.

By systematically collecting and cultivating those plants best suited for human consumption, Native Americans encouraged the formation of ears or cobs on early maize. The first ears of maize were only a few inches long and had only eight rows of kernels. Eventually the productivity of maize cultivation was great enough to make it possible for a family to produce food for the bulk of their diet for an entire year from a small area. Along with many other indigenous plants like beans, squash, melons, tobacco, and roots such as Jerusalem artichoke, European colonists in America quickly adopted maize agriculture from Native Americans. Crops developed by Native Americans quickly spread to other parts of the world as well. This sweet, nutitious vegetable eventually transformed human agriculture worldwide.
