The following is excerpted from The Professional's Herbal Formula Handbook No. 12, comprising 85 pages of traditional information and recent scientific data that describes the medical properties, physiological action and therapeutic uses for each of the 24 ingredients outlined in this formula.

Adaptogenic, adjuvant, alterative, anabolic, anti-cachexic, anti-dyscratic, antioxidant, antispasmodic, depurative, detoxicant, diaphoretic, diuretic, rejuvenative, restorative, spasmolytic, stimulant (circulatory and secretolytic) and tonic.

Alleviates any general fluids dyscrasia (abnormal or pathological condition) within the bone tissue or skeletal structure that leads to conditions involving osteomalacia (skeletal deformities), osteomyelitis (infectious pathogenic bone disorders), osteoporosis (brittle bone conditions) or spinal degeneration, and eliminates any form of cachexia (state of malnourishment and general debility) throughout the bone tissue or marrow and skeletal system in order to provide increased protection against any nutritional deficiencies or insufficiency that leads to various degenerative bone disorders (such as osteomalacia and osteoporosis); displays antispasmodic or spasmolytic properties in order to soothe and relieve any localized aches or pains associated with any bone injuries (such as broken bones or fractures), as well as various degenerative bone or marrow conditions (including osteoarthritis, osteomalacia and osteoporosis); acts as an effective adjuvant in order to remove any form of cachexia throughout the bone tissue, marrow and skeletal system caused by impaired detoxification processes in the liver and thyroid gland, and removes any chronic fatigue or exhaustion associated with various wasting diseases in the bone tissue or marrow; relieves any hip joint disease, and removes any nodes or nodular enlargements on any bone tissue or skeletal structures; displays alterative and tonifying effects in order to remove any functional states accompanied by depressed metabolic activity, which leads to specific nutritional deficiencies or insufficiency associated with any retarded bone and marrow production or development; 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, especially upon the immune system, skeletal structure, 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 entire skeletal system; acts as a circulatory stimulant by increasing the blood circulation in order to enhance greater nutrient transport, absorption and utilization, thereby accelerating the healing processes associated with the repair of any broken bones or fractures; 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 debilitating or degenerative bone diseases or illnesses, while facilitating greater recovery response during convalescence in order to regain optimal health and well-being; activates the bodily processes of detoxification and elimination in order to cleanse and purify the bloodstream and tissue-systems, and increases both sensible and insensible perspiration in order to more effectively enhance the eliminative capabilities of the body (while increasing the secretion and elimination of urine in order to provide further support to the inner cleansing process); displays alterative activity in order to correct any disordered bodily function, thereby activating increased alterations in both metabolic and tissue functions as a defensive measure against the onset of acute or chronic disease; exhibits restorative effects in order to regain increased vigor or vitality and greater strength, while enhancing normal tissue and metabolic functional capabilities; demonstrates alterative and restorative properties in order to re-establish healthy systemic functional capabilities, as well as to establish greater vascular tone throughout the entire organism (due to its ability to stimulate increased secretory flows); exhibits alterative effects in order to stimulate the anabolic growth processes, thereby enhancing the repair of any degenerated, deteriorated and debilitated cells or tissues (while promoting the elimination of any catabolic waste materials); displays tonifying effects in order to permanently enhance the overall energy-levels throughout the entire organism, without adversely affecting the functional capabilities of any particular organ or system.
