The following is excerpted from The Professional's Herbal Formula Handbook No. 6, comprising 85 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-anemic, antibiotic, anti-cachexic, anti-dyscratic, anti-infective, antioxidant, antiphlogistic (anti-inflammatory), antiseptic, astringent, bacteriostatic (anti-bacterial), cytophylactic, cytotoxic, depurative, detoxicant, disinfectant, diuretic, microbicidal (anti-microbial), restorative, stimulant (circulatory and secretolytic), stomachic, tonic and viricidal (anti-viral).
Alleviates any general fluids dyscrasia
(abnormal or pathological condition) within the blood vessels or
musculature that leads to the onset of degenerative or
debilitative conditions associated with various forms of anemia
or anemic disorders (including aplastic, cerebral, hypochromic,
nutritional, pernicious or sickle cell), and eliminates any form
of cachexia (state of malnourishment and general debility)
throughout the blood vessels and musculature; displays
significant antioxidant effects in order to enhance the transport
of additional oxygen directly into the cells and tissue-systems
throughout the blood vessels (due to lowered hemoglobin levels in
the blood), and removes any chronic fatigue or exhaustion
associated with various form of anemia or anemic conditions
throughout the blood vessels, tissue-systems, or musculature;
relieves any fatigue, weakness or general debility, and
eliminates any blood toxicity while invigorating the blood;
removes any congestion or venous blood stagnation, and addresses
any stagnant and congestive conditions in the liver, stomach,
gallbladder and intestines; alleviates any general toxemia, and
removes any intestinal stasis; exhibits cytophylactic and
cytotoxic activity in order to provide stronger cellular defense
mechanisms against many physical or chemical agents, and displays
anti-infective and disinfectant properties in order to promote
increased resistance by destroying any invasive or harmful
pathogenic bacteria, microbes or viruses that are often
responsible for various infectious states or inflammatory
conditions; exhibits bacteriostatic, microbicidal and viricidal
activity in order to strengthen and increase the resistance of
the arteries, blood vessels and capillaries against any invasive
or harmful bacteria or microbes, as well as to inhibit the
further development of any infectious or inflammatory conditions
associated with the onset of sepsis, septicemia or uremia;
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 sepsis, septicemia or uremia by exerting
an extremely positive influence towards correcting any internal
inflammatory conditions within the arteries, blood vessels or
capillaries; 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 arteries, blood
vessels and capillaries 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); 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
blood vessels, musculature, immune system, and both the central
(cerebro-spinal centers) and peripheral nervous systems; acts as
a restorative to the liver, spleen, pancreas and intestinal
tract, and tonifies the mucous membranes throughout the
gastro-intestinal and genito-urinary tracts; 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
blood vessels and musculature; 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 blood vessels
or tissue-systems throughout the entire musculature; activates
the bodily processes of detoxification and elimination in order
to cleanse and purify the bloodstream, tissue-systems and
musculature, and increases the secretion and elimination of urine
in order to provide further support to the inner cleansing
process; 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.
