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 adrenal exhaustion or various other forms of adrenal
disorders, including Addison's disease (chronic primary
adrenocorticoid and aldosterone insufficiency) accompanied by
vagotonia; removes any functional hypoadrenia, and induces the
adrenal cortex to produce increased amounts of natural cortisone
and aldosterone; stimulates the hormonal secretions by the
adrenal cortex, due to the presence of glycyrrhizin or
glycyrrhizic acid (which is similar in chemical structure to the
corticosteroids (deoxycorticosterone) that are released by the
adrenal glands; possesses oleanane triterpenes such as
glycyrrhizin (glycyrrhizic or glycyrrhizinic acid) and its
agylcone glycyrrhetinic acid (glycyrrhitic acid), liquiritic
acid, glycyrrhetol, glabrolide, isoglabrolide, licoric acid and
phytosterols, which are metabolized into molecules that possess a
similar structure to the adrenal cortex hormones; 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; 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 muscles or connective tissues
throughout the entire organism; displays immuno-stimulating
effects (due to the presence of glycyrrhizin), which induces the
production of interferon-like compounds; removes any form of
blood impurities associated with general weakness or debility,
and increases both extracellular fluid and plasma volume while
mediating the poisonous characteristics of any harmful toxins;
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; acts as an effective nutritive and rejuvenative
tonic to the blood vessels muscles during convalescence (due to
the presence of rich sources of calcium, carbohydrates, iron,
magnesium, manganese, niacin, potassium, protein, silicon,
sodium, and vitamins B1 and C) in order to enrich, nourish and
replenish any nutritional deficiencies or insufficiency within
the cells or tissues throughout the entire body, which leads to
the development of various degenerative or atonic conditions
associated with anemia; 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 the secretion and
elimination of urine in order to provide further support to the
inner cleansing process; acts as an eliminative vasotonic to the
blood, liver and splenic functions (as well as upon the
eliminative functions of the lymphatic system), and 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; 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.
