displays significant antiphlogistic effects 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 any degenerative brain conditions or injuries to the brain or cerebro-spinal centers by exerting an extremely positive influence towards correcting any internal inflammatory conditions within the brain cells, nerve tissues or cerebro-spinal centers; 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) throughout the brain cells, nerve tissues and cerebro-spinal centers; 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, spleen and lymph glands); 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 brain cells or nerve tissues throughout the entire cerebro-spinal centers; acts as a biocatalyst in order to accelerate and accentuate the transport of all the other herbal ingredients throughout the entire organism to specific parts of the body (especially the head region), and exhibits powerful antioxidant effects in order to enhance the transport of additional oxygen directly into the cells and tissue-systems throughout the brain and cerebro-spinal centers; 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 brain cells or nerve tissue; displays cell proliferant activity in order to inhibit the normal aging process within the brain cells or nerve tissue by promoting increased tissue repair and the accelerated growth of healthy new cells, thereby extending the overall lifespan of the brain and cerebro-spinal centers; 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 non-specific resistance of an organism towards any adverse influences(anxiety or fatigue) or stressful conditions (especially upon the immune system, brain tissues, and both the central and peripheral nervous systems), and increases the ability to withstand many adverse conditions (whether they be physical, chemical or biological in nature); 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);

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; enhances greater neurotransmitter metabolism, and 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; exhibits antineoplastic activity in order the reduce the spread of metastases throughout the brain cells or tissue-systems by weakening the vitality of any cancer cells in the brain, and activates the bodily processes of detoxification and elimination in order to cleanse and purify the bloodstream and tissue-systems;
