demonstrates 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 conditions by exerting an extremely positive influence towards correcting any internal inflammatory conditions throughout the bloodstream and genito-urinary tract; 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 and tissue-systems throughout the entire circulatory system; 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 blood vessels, mucous membranes, musculature or tissue-systems throughout the entire body; 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 bloodstream and genito-urinary tract; accelerates all the cellular processes throughout the entire organism, and stimulates the intercellular metabolic activities without profoundly modifying the normal physiological action; 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 growth of healthy new cells by promoting increased granulation and greater resolution during the repair of any damaged blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries) throughout the circulatory system; displays cell proliferant activity in order to inhibit the normal aging process throughout the entire organism, thereby extending the overall lifespan of the various cells and tissue-systems in the blood vessels; 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), especially throughout the immune system, bloodstream, musculature, and both the central (cerebro-spinal centers) and peripheral nervous systems; exhibits immuno-potentiating and immuno-stimulatory effects in order to enhance greater long-term immune potential and overall systemic immunity (or immune cell activity) and increased immune response (by activating the body's natural defense mechanisms), particularly in relation to the removal or restoration of any degenerative conditions throughout the bloodstream or genito-urinary tract;

acts as a circulatory stimulant by increasing the blood flows throughout the circulatory system in order to enhance greater nutrient transport, absorption and utilization, thereby accelerating the healing processes associated with the repair of any nutritional deficiencies or insufficiency throughout the entire organism; acts as an effective nutritive and rejuvenative tonic to the bloodstream and genito-urinary tract during convalescence (due to the presence of rich sources of calcium, carbohydrates, chromium, cobalt, fats, iron, magnesium, manganese, niacin, phosphorus, protein, selenium, silicon, sodium, zinc and vitamins A, B1, B2 and C) in order to enrich, nourish and replenish any nutritional deficiencies or insufficiency throughout the circulatory system, which leads to the development of various degenerative or debilitative conditions associated with diabetes or hyperglycemia (such as excessive thirst, extreme hunger, emaciation, weakness, weight loss, dry skin conditions, muscle cramps, toxic poisoning, poor healing capabilities, and impaired combustion of fats [lipids] that leads to acidosis); 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 diseases or illnesses, while facilitating greater recovery response during convalescence in order to fully regain optimal health and well-being; nourishes and fortifies the immune system, and enhances the functional capabilities of the liver; strengthens and fortifies the entire glandular system, and provides increased stamina and greater endurance levels; accelerates the healing processes throughout the entire organism (due to the presence of the triterpene asiaticoside), and provides a balanced multiphasic effect upon all the cells or tissues that directly participate in the healing processes; 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; acts as an eliminative vasotonic to the blood, liver and splenic functions, as well as upon the eliminative functions of the lymphatic system; enhances the overall cleansing process by dilating the surface capillaries in order to more effectively remove any toxic debris or metabolic waste materials through the pores of the skin, and increases the secretion and elimination of urine in order to provide further support to the inner cleansing process;
