possesses iridoid valepotriate compounds (valeriana-epoxy-triester), which exert powerful tranquilizing effects upon the central nervous system by attaching themselves to individual receptor sites within certain portions of the brain, spinal column and nervous system in order to more effectively remove any stress, tension, mental fatigue or nervous exhaustion; penetrates directly into the locomotor tissues of the body and the central nervous system in order to provide a more subtle form of numbness to both regions, and generates tranquilizing effects that are refreshing (rather than producing sluggishness); demonstrates an equilibrating effect upon the central nervous system, and promotes predominantly equalizing and regulatory (amphoteric) activity upon the autonomic nervous system (due to the presence of valepotriates); relieves any nervous disorders associated with over-excitable temperaments or hysterical states, and acts as a sedative, antispasmodic and nervine stimulant in order to reduce any nervous or reflex excitability or functional nervousness; promotes gentle and soothing effects upon the entire nervous system, especially the cerebro-spinal centers; removes any asthmatic or hysterical coughs, and reduces any circulatory excitement; relieves any anxiety, fearfulness or restlessness, and induces quieting and comforting sensations in order to instill greater relaxation that leads to increased vigor and mental clarity; significantly reduces any sleep latency associated with various asthmatic conditions, while improving sleep quality and greater restful sleep-states without any narcotic after-effects; exhibits cytophylactic and cytotoxic activity in order to provide stronger cellular defense mechanisms against many physical or chemical agents, and displays anti-infective and disinfectant properties in order to promote increased resistance by destroying any invasive or harmful pathogenic bacteria, microbes or viruses that are often responsible for various infectious states or inflammatory conditions; exhibits bacteriostatic and microbicidal activity in order to strengthen and increase the resistance of the blood vessels against any invasive or harmful pathogenic bacteria or microbes throughout the lung, bronchial or sinus mucosa, as well as to inhibit the further development of any inflammatory or infectious conditions associated with the onset of asthma and various other forms of catarrhal conditions throughout the respiratory tract; displays significant antiphlogistic activity in order to inhibit the formation of certain inflammatory compounds (such as histamine, leukotrienes, prostaglandin, serine proteases and thromboxanes), as well as to reduce any severe inflammatory swelling associated with various asthmatic conditions by exerting an extremely positive influence towards correcting any blood vessel or tissue inflammation and various other internal inflammatory conditions; exhibits significant antiseptic activity by destroying the vitality of any organized living ferments in order to prevent the onset of putrefaction or septicemia, and precipitates the proteins in any inflamed tissues in order to provide a mildly antiseptic and protective coating (under which the regeneration of new tissue occurs) for the mucous membranes throughout the respiratory tract; acts as an effective antiseptic in order to remove any septic conditions associated with tissue degeneration or ulceration, and promotes increased suppuration and a steady toning or restorative impression to the entire glandular system (especially the liver and lymph glands); exhibits immuno-potentiating and immuno-stimulatory effects in order to enhance greater long-term immune potential and overall non-specific systemic immunity (or immune cell activity) and increased immune response (by activating the body's natural defense mechanisms), particularly in relation to the repair and restoration of any damaged or congested blood vessels or mucous membranes throughout the respiratory system; displays biocatalytic activity in order to enhance greater assimilation of those essential nutrients that are necessary for the increased production of energy and vitality, thereby accelerating certain rejuvenative processes associated with the repair of any damaged blood vessels or mucous membranes throughout the respiratory system; acts as a biocatalyst in order to accelerate and accentuate the transport of all the other herbal ingredients throughout the entire organism to specific areas of the body (especially the bone tissue and musculature), and exhibits circulatory stimulant activity in order to permeate the entire organism (both internally and externally) with greater warmth and movement in order to support the innate warmth that resides in the blood and muscle tissues; acts as a cell proliferant in order to stimulate increased cellular mitosis (cell division and reproduction) in an adequate nutritional environment, as well as to accelerate the healing processes by promoting increased granulation and greater resolution during the repair of any damaged blood vessels, tissue-systems or mucous membranes throughout the respiratory tract; displays cell proliferant activity in order to inhibit the normal aging process within the mucous membranes of the lungs, sinus cavities and bronchial or nasal passages, thereby extending the overall lifespan of the various cells and tissue-systems throughout the respiratory system; exhibits anabolic activity in order to accelerate the production of DNA and RNA (which enhances the production of proteins in the form of antibodies), while increasing protein and lipid synthesis in the bone marrow and DNA/RNA content in the adrenals and lymph nodes (along with increased body weight and enhanced re-synthesis of glycogen and high-energy phosphate compounds); demonstrates powerful adaptogenic (balancing and strengthening) activity in order to increase the overall resistance of an organism towards any adverse influences or stressful conditions (whether they be physical, chemical or biological in nature), especially upon the mucous membranes, immune system, and both the central (cerebro-spinal centers) and peripheral nervous systems; acts as a secretolytic stimulant in order to promote increased gastric, pancreatic or intestinal secretory and motor activity, and enhances greater peripheral circulation (due to its antioxidant activity); exhibits significant antioxidant effects in order to provide greater oxygen-transport capabilities throughout the bloodstream, as well as enhance the transport of additional oxygen directly into the cells and tissue-systems throughout the blood vessels and mucous membranes of the entire respiratory tract; acts as a circulatory stimulant by increasing the blood flows through the arteries and blood vessels of the respiratory tract in order to enhance greater nutrient transport, absorption and utilization, thereby accelerating the healing processes associated with the repair of any damaged mucous membranes or tissue-systems throughout the lungs, sinus cavities, throat and bronchial or nasal passages; demonstrates significant rejuvenative and restorative properties upon the basic plasma tissue-systems throughout the entire organism, thereby enhancing the production of vital bodily fluids while providing greater enrichment through increased assimilation of the various organic mineral salts; accelerates the recuperative processes that are essential in order to overcome any chronic degenerative or debilitative illnesses, while facilitating greater recovery response during convalescence in order to fully regain optimal health and well-being;
