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; removes
any chronic blood stasis (diminution of the flow of blood or
other bodily fluids) throughout the liver, spleen, uterus,
abdomen and portal system, and eliminates any blood poisoning
(sepsis) conditions; eliminates any protoplasmic poisons or
lymphatic congestion caused by excessive accumulations of toxic
waste materials, as well as any general debility or exhaustion
associated with chronic systemal toxicity; exhibits diuretic
effects (due to the presence of tannins and the flavonoids
galuteolin, gossypitrin, herbacetrin, isoquercetrin, kaempferol
and luteolin) in order to relieve any heart disorders associated
with a deficiency in normal blood circulation (circulatory
insufficiency); removes any blood in the urine associated with
various urinary tract infections, as well as any anemia or
general debility associated with internal hemorrhaging by
promoting increased blood coagulation activity; 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); 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
and 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; improves the overall blood circulation (due to the
presence of silicic acid), and displays preventative activity
against any hardening of the arteries or amnesia by means of its
blood-cleansing effects; 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, carbohydrates, chromium, cobalt, copper, fats, fluorine,
iron, magnesium, manganese, PABA, phosphorus, potassium, protein,
selenium, silicon, sodium, and vitamins A, B2 and C) 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; 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 or congested arteries, blood vessels
or capillaries throughout the circulatory system; 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; reduces any excessive blood pressure
conditions, elevates the white blood cell count, and invigorates
the kidneys; displays diaphoretic and diuretic activity by
promoting increased diaphoresis and diuresis in order to more
efficiently expel any excessive accumulations of various toxic
waste materials, and activates the bodily processes of
detoxification and elimination in order to cleanse and purify the
bloodstream and tissue-systems; increases both sensible and
insensible perspiration in order to more effectively enhance the
eliminative capabilities of the body, 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.
