The following is excerpted from The Professional's Herbal Formula Handbook No. 5, comprising 80 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, analgesic, anodyne, anti-cachexic, anti-dyscratic, antioxidant, antiphlogistic (anti-inflammatory), antiseptic, depurative, detoxicant, diaphoretic, rejuvenative, constitutional restorative, stimulant (circulatory and secretolytic) and tonic.
Alleviates any general fluids dyscrasia
(abnormal or pathological condition) within the muscles or
connective tissues (e.g., cartilage, ligaments or tendons) that
leads to the onset of various degenerative or debilitative
conditions throughout the musculature (muscular structure), and
eliminates any form of cachexia (state of malnourishment and
general debility) throughout the muscles, cartilage, ligaments
and tendons; displays significant antioxidant effects in order to
enhance the transport of additional oxygen directly into the
cells and tissue-systems throughout the entire musculature and
connective tissue matrix, and removes any chronic fatigue or
exhaustion associated with various degenerative conditions
throughout the musculature or connective tissues; eases any
general constitutional debility or anemic conditions, and
relieves any muscular exhaustion caused by chronic diseases;
eliminates any depressed vitality, and removes any form of
chronic toxicity associated with exhaustion or weariness; reduces
any excessive amounts of acid (due to faulty or impaired
digestive processes) that ultimately leads to chronic fatigue,
and removes any sluggish conditions throughout the digestive
system associated with alimentary or gastric insufficiency;
alleviates any atonic states throughout the gastro-intestinal
tract, and eliminates any weakened muscular tonicity in the
digestive organs; 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
muscles and connective tissues, immune system, and both the
central (cerebro-spinal centers) and peripheral nervous systems;
activates all the glandular secretions, due to the presence of
various bitter principles; acts as a blood builder during
convalescence by elevating the white blood cell count, while
strengthening and deepening the respiratory rate in order to
allow additional quantities of iron and oxygen to be transported
and released into all the cells and tissue-systems throughout the
entire organism; strengthens and tonifies the entire organism
through systemic reflex glandular stimulation, and acts as a
general constitutional restorative and body builder in order to
invigorate and revitalize the tissue-systems; demonstrates
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 in the
muscles, cartilage, ligaments and tendons by exerting an
extremely positive influence towards correcting any internal
inflammatory conditions in the cells or tissue-systems throughout
the musculature and connective tissue matrix; 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 musculature and connective tissue 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, spleen and lymph glands); 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
muscle and connective tissues; acts as a circulatory stimulant by
increasing the blood flows through the arteries and blood vessels
of the muscles in order to enhance greater nutrient transport,
absorption and utilization, thereby accelerating the healing
processes associated with the repair of any damaged
tissue-systems throughout the entire musculature and connective
tissue matrix; 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
illnesses, while facilitating greater recovery response during
convalescence in order to fully regain optimal health and
well-being; activates the bodily processes of detoxification and
elimination in order to cleanse and purify the bloodstream,
tissue-systems and musculature, and increases both sensible and
insensible perspiration in order to more effectively enhance the
eliminative capabilities of the body; 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.
None.
