The following is excerpted from The Professional's Herbal Formula Handbook No. 2, comprising 82 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, alterative, anabolic, anti-cachexic, anti-dyscratic, anti-infective, antioxidant, antiphlogistic (anti-inflammatory), antiseptic, bacteriostatic (anti-bacterial) cholagogue, choleretic, cytophylactic, cytotoxic, depurative, detoxicant, diaphoretic, disinfectant, diuretic, fungistatic (anti-fungal), microbicidal (anti-microbial), restorative, stimulant (circulatory and secretolytic), stomachic, tonic and viricidal (anti-viral).

Alleviates any general or systemic fluids dyscrasia (abnormal or pathological condition) within the blood vessels, tissue-systems and mucous membranes throughout the entire organism during the onset of any immuno-depression or immuno-suppression, and eliminates any form of cachexia (state of malnourishment and general debility) within the blood vessels, tissue-systems or mucous membranes throughout the entire organism in order to provide increased protection against any nutritional deficiencies or insufficiency that leads to various forms of immuno-depression or immuno-suppression; 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, tissue-systems or mucous membranes throughout the entire organism; displays cytotoxic and cytophylactic properties in order to provide stronger cellular defense mechanisms against many physical or chemical agents and infectious conditions, including various brain, skin or intestinal infections; demonstrates bacteriostatic and fungistatic activity, due to the presence of triterpene volatile oils (such as taraxol, taraxerol, taraxasterol, stigmasterol, B-sitosterol, hemotaraxasterol, beta-amyrin and taraxacin); exhibits bacteriostatic, microbicidal and viricidal activity in order to strengthen and increase the resistance of the blood vessels against any invasive or harmful pathogenic bacteria or microbes, as well as to inhibit the further development of any inflammatory or infectious conditions associated with the onset of various auto-immune disorders; 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 any blood vessel or tissue inflammation and various other internal inflammatory conditions; demonstrates significant antiseptic effects 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 entire organism; 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 cholagogue activity in order to provide greater contraction and release of stored bile, and displays choleretic properties in order to stimulate the flow of bile from the liver by either increasing the amount of secreted bile or increasing the quantity of bile being released by the gall-bladder (thereby facilitating the digestion of fats); demonstrates stomachic effects (due to the presence of bitter resins) in order to stimulate the activity of the digestive system, and activates the glands of internal secretion while eliminating any degenerative states in the connective tissues or interstitial fluids; stimulates both splenic and pancreatic secretions, due to the presence of natural insulin ("inulin"); removes various infectious conditions, including urinary tract infections and all forms of upper respiratory infections (ranging from pneumonia to chronic bronchitis); 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 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 organism; acts as a circulatory stimulant by increasing the blood flows through the arteries and blood vessels in order to enhance greater nutrient transport, absorption and utilization, thereby accelerating the healing processes associated with the repair of any damaged blood vessels, tissue-systems or mucous membranes; acts as a circulatory stimulant in order to permeate the entire organism (both internally and externally) with greater warmth and movement, thereby supporting the innate warmth that resides in the blood; activates the bodily processes of detoxification and elimination, and increases both sensible and insensible perspiration in order to more effectively enhance the eliminative capabilities of the body; displays alterative effects in order to reduce any mild cases of autointoxication (auto-toxemia), and removes any general toxemia accompanied by excessive uric acid accumulations, hardened deposits and eczematous syndromes; encourages the proper elimination of toxic waste materials during the treatment of various auto-immune system disorders, and increases the secretion and elimination of urine in order to provide further support to the inner cleansing process; possesses volatile and bitter principles that stimulate the production of mucus in order to sequester and eliminate any toxicity (toxic accumulations) from specific dysfunctional organs or bodily tissues, and increases the elimination of nitrogenous substances by the kidneys; enhances the flow of blood through the kidneys, while reducing the absorption of water in the nephrons of each kidney; improves 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 eliminates any liver congestion or inflammation of the bile ducts; 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 or 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.
