The following is excerpted from The Professional's Herbal Formula Handbook No. 11, comprising 82 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, anabolic, alterative, anti-cachexic, anti-dyscratic, antioxidant, antiphlogistic (anti-inflammatory), antiseptic, bacteriostatic (anti-bacterial), cytophylactic, cytotoxic, depurative, detoxicant, diuretic, laxative, microbicidal (anti-microbial), 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; 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); enhances greater lymph drainage, and
provides increased resistance to disease; 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; 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 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; 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.
