Adaptogenic, alterative, anabolic, anti-aggretory, antibiotic, anti-cachexic, anti-dyscratic, anti-infective, antioxidant, antiphlogistic (anti-inflammatory), antiseptic, astringent, bacteriostatic (anti-bacterial), cytophylactic, cytotoxic, decongestant, depurative, detoxicant, disinfectant, diuretic, microbicidal (anti-microbial), nutritive, rejuvenative, restorative, stimulant (circulatory and secretolytic) and tonic.
Alleviates any general fluids dyscrasia
(abnormal or pathological condition) within the arteries, blood
vessels or capillaries throughout the circulatory system that
leads to the onset of various degenerative or debilitative
conditions associated with any blood disorders or blood
impurities involving the presence or persistence of various
pathogenic bacteria or microorganisms and their toxins in the
blood (sepsis) or the retention of excessive by-products of
protein metabolism in the blood that leads to various toxic
conditions (uremia), and eliminates any form of cachexia (state
of malnourishment and general debility) within the arterial,
venous or capillary system while removing any chronic fatigue or
exhaustion associated with excessive accumulations of toxic waste
materials throughout the bloodstream and tissue-systems; relieves
any capillary fragility (accompanied by spontaneous
hemorrhaging), blood purpuras, venous insufficiency, encaphalic
circulatory imbalances, or microscopic hematuria associated with
diffused kidney capillary fragility, and prevents any rupturing
or breakdown of fragile capillaries within the glomerulus
(filtering unit) of the kidneys; repairs any broken capillaries,
and rebuilds any damaged capillaries caused by various
inflammatory or degenerative conditions; 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 and microbicidal 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); strengthens the entire capillary
system, and increases the resistance of the blood capillaries
while reducing their overall permeability; 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) properties 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
throughout the arteries, blood vessels, capillaries and the
entire circulatory system; restores greater ionic balance to the
walls of the arteries or blood vessels, and eliminates any
leakage that allows plasmatic proteins to become dangerously
distributed on both sides of the membranes; displays significant
direct anti-aggretory (anti-adhesive) effects upon the blood
(serum) platelets and indirect action that involves certain
prostacyclin-related activity, thereby preventing the blood cells
from "clumping" and forming clots that interfere with
proper blood circulation; reduces the permeability of the
blood-brain barrier (due to the presence of anthocyanosides and
other flavonoid compounds) by inhibiting both enzymatic and
non-enzymatic degradation of the basement membrane collagen in
the capillaries of the brain, thereby maintaining or restoring
greater protection of the brain against various
naturally-occurring degradation products and other cerebral
toxins; acts as a circulatory stimulant by increasing the blood
flows throughout the circulatory system in order to enhance
greater nutrient transport, absorption and utilization, thereby
accelerating the healing processes associated with the repair of
any damaged arteries, blood vessels or capillaries throughout the
entire organism; 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 arteries, blood vessels, capillaries and the
entire circulatory system; acts as a circulatory stimulant in
order to permeate the entire organism (both internally and
externally) with greater warmth and movement by supporting the
innate warmth that resides in the blood, and stimulates the
intercellular metabolic activities without profoundly modifying
the normal physiological functions; acts as an effective
nutritive and rejuvenative tonic to the arteries, blood vessels
or capillaries during convalescence (due to the presence of rich
sources of calcium, iron, lecithin, magnesium, manganese, niacin,
phosphorus, potassium, protein, selenium, zinc, and vitamins A, B1, B2, B12, C and E) in order to
enrich, nourish and replenish any nutritional deficiencies or
insufficiency within the arteries, blood vessels or capillaries,
which leads to the development of various degenerative or
debilitative conditions throughout the entire circulatory system;
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 diseases or 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 and tissue-systems, 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.
