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; displays
choleretic and cholagogue properties in order to remove any
intestinal putrefaction or septicemia, which ultimately leads to
the development of autointoxication (auto-toxemia) throughout the
arterial, venous and capillary systems; removes any general
toxemia (chronic systemal toxicity) accompanied by excessive uric
acid accumulations and impacted (hardened) deposits, and reduces
any enlargement of the liver or spleen associated with various
toxic debris or other metabolic waste materials; encourages the
proper neutralization, elimination or excretion of urea and uric
acid, and relieves any uric acid diathesis that leads to
constitutional susceptibility towards excessive accumulations of
uric acid and urates in the blood vessels or tissue-systems; acts
as a systemic alkalinizer, and displays antacid properties in
order to eliminate any acidosis or uremic poisoning; exhibits
alterative activity in order to remove mild cases of
auto-intoxication (auto-toxemia), and promotes increased diuresis
in order to eliminate any nitrogenous substances by promoting
increased blood flows through the kidneys; displays
bacteriostatic, diaphoretic diuretic, fungistatic and
microbicidal properties, due to the presence of triterpene
volatile oils (such as taraxol, taraxerol, taraxasterol,
B-sitosterol, stigmasterol, homotaraxasterol, beta amyrin and
taraxacin); 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); relieves any
form of anemia associated with deficiencies of nutritive salts in
the blood, and eases any circulatory imbalances or insufficiency;
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; displays astringent properties (due to the presence
of tannins) in order to strengthen the functional capabilities of
the spleen, thereby maintaining proper blood supply throughout
the arteries, blood vessels and capillaries; removes any venous
blood stagnation, and demonstrates anti-plethoric activity in
order to reduce any portal or venous congestion; strengthens any
weakened arteries while acting as a blood builder in order to
enrich and fortify the blood (as well as a powerful depurative in
order to cleanse and purify the blood), and balances the chemical
composition of the blood; activates the bodily processes of
detoxification and elimination in order to cleanse and purify the
bloodstream and tissue-systems, and increases both sensible and
insensible perspiration in order to more effectively enhance the
eliminative capabilities of the body; 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, 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; 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.
