The following is excerpted from The Professional's Herbal Formula Handbook No. 13, comprising 98 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, anabolic, alterative, anti-anxiety, anti-cachexic, anti-depressant, anti-dyscratic, anti-fatigue, antioxidant, antispasmodic, anti-stress, bacteriostatic (anti-bacterial), calmative, cytophylactic, cytotoxic, diuretic, hypotensive, microbicidal (anti-microbial), nervine, rejuvenative, systemic relaxant, nerve sedative, spasmolytic, stimulant (circulatory and secretolytic), tonic, tranquilizer and tropho-restorative.

Alleviates any general fluids dyscrasia (abnormal or pathological condition) within the brain cells, nerve tissues or cerebro-spinal centers that leads to the onset of those conditions involving Alzheimer's disease, cerebral dementia, encephalitis, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, stroke or tumorous growths, and eliminates any form of cachexia (state of malnourishment and general debility) throughout the brain cells, nerve tissues or cerebro-spinal centers in order to provide increased protection against any nutritional deficiencies or insufficiency that leads to various degenerative or debilitative brain, nerve or cerebro-spinal disorders; relieves the painful conditions associated with the earlier stages of multiple sclerosis, and removes any chronic fatigue, exhaustion or other depressed conditions in the brain associated with various degenerated brain disorders; eliminates any endogenous, nervous or reactive forms of depression, and relieves any neurasthenia (nervous exhaustion) caused by fatigue or over-excitement; eases any anxiety, stress or mental illness, and acts as a restorative during any stressful conditions; acts directly upon the cerebro-spinal centers in order to alleviate any brain or nerve irritability, and eases the motor symptoms associated with Sydenham's chorea; restores greater control over any deranged sensory or motor functions, and reduces any fiery or volatile emotions (such as anger, jealously or hatred); eliminates any nervous spasms or tension, as well as any convulsive conditions and muscular tremors or twitching associated with various injuries to the brain; displays antispasmodic and spasmolytic properties in order to soothe and relieve any localized aches or pains associated with any brain injuries and various degenerative brain conditions, and acts as a nerve sedative for hyperactive children displaying hysterical tendencies; reduces any mental confusion or the inability to concentrate, and promotes greater conscious awareness, perception, mental clarity and emotional detachment; soothes, regenerates and tonifies the central nervous system (cerebro-spinal centers), and stimulates the brain, spinal cord and the sympathetic nervous system; strengthens the cellular tissues in the brain, while nourishing and strengthening the entire nervous system; acts as a neuro-motor depressant, and demonstrates significant tranquilizing effects upon the brain cells and the cerebro-spinal centers; acts directly upon the brain cells and cerebro-spinal centers (due to the presence of the flavonoid scutellarin) by encouraging the production of natural endorphins, which serve as tranquilizing opiates; acts as a systemic relaxant by exhibiting mild sedative and medium-strength spasmolytic effects upon any painful or spasmodic conditions, such as neuro-vegetative dystonia (disordered muscle tonicity); displays tropho-restorative and relaxant activity upon the brain and nerve tissues in order to repair any debilitating effects caused by continuous or longstanding nervous over-activity, and increases or elevates the alpha waves that are generated by the brain; 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 immune system, brain cells or tissues, and both the central (cerebro-spinal centers) and peripheral nervous systems; 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 (due to the presence of the flavonoid scutellarin) in order to strengthen and increase the resistance of the brain tissue or cerebro-spinal centers against any invasive or harmful bacteria or microbes, and increases the secretion and elimination of urine in order to provide further support to the inner cleansing process; 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 brain and cerebro-spinal centers; acts as a circulatory stimulant by increasing the blood flow through the arteries and blood vessels in order to enhance greater oxygen and nutrient transport, absorption and utilization in the brain cells and tissue-systems, thereby accelerating the healing processes associated with the repair of any damaged brain or nerve tissue; 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 brain diseases or illnesses, while facilitating greater recovery response during convalescence in order to regain optimal health and well-being; 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 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.
