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 cardiovascular weakness that leads to depressive states
accompanied by general debility, and reduces any general debility
or exhaustion associated with chronic systemal toxicity; 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; 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 (due to the
presence of borneol and bornyl acetate) 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); 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; displays
biocatalytic activity in order to enhance greater assimilation of
those essential nutrients that are necessary for the increased
production of energy and vitality, thereby accelerating certain
rejuvenative processes associated with the repair of any damaged
arteries, blood vessels or capillaries throughout the entire
organism; acts as a cell proliferant in order to stimulate
increased cellular mitosis (cell division and reproduction) in an
adequate nutritional environment, as well as to accelerate the
healing processes by promoting increased granulation and greater
resolution during the repair of any damaged or congested
arteries, blood vessels or capillaries; displays cell proliferant
activity in order to inhibit the normal aging process throughout
the circulatory system, thereby extending the overall lifespan of
the various cells and tissue-systems within the arteries, blood
vessels or capillaries; 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; 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; enhances greater peripheral circulation, due
to its antioxidant activity; inhibits the production of harmful
free radicals in the blood, and tonifies the vasomotor functions
and the peripheral circulation (especially in those conditions
involving circulatory weakness or peripheral circulatory
insufficiency following extended periods of stress or chronic
illness); energizes the blood circulation, and 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; 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; stimulates
the central nervous system in order to relieve any headaches
associated with weakened blood circulation, and increases blood
supply to the hair follicles; balances and strengthens the entire
circulatory system, and tonifies the blood vessels; activates the
bodily processes of detoxification and eliminationin 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; acts as an eliminative vasotonic to the blood, liver and
splenic functions (as well as upon the eliminative functions of
the lymphatic system), 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
