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, anti-cachexic, anti-dyscratic, antioxidant, astringent, depurative, detoxicant, diaphoretic, rejuvenative, 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
functional nervous disorders or general weakness, and relieves
any debility or exhaustion associated with heavy workloads,
strenuous exercise, impaired constitution or chronic illness;
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;
displays antioxidant properties in order to inhibit the
production of free radicals, and generates increased physical
strength; 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.
