Adaptogenic, alterative, anabolic, antibiotic, anti-cachexic, anti-dyscratic, anti-infective, antioxidant, antiphlogistic (anti-inflammatory), antiseptic, astringent, bacteriostatic (anti-bacterial), cholagogue, choleretic, cytophylactic, cytotoxic, decongestant, depurative, detoxicant, diaphoretic, disinfectant, diuretic, immuno-potentiating, immuno-stimulant, 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; 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; reduces any swollen lymph
glands associated with excessive accumulations of various toxic
substances, and expels any systemic impurities; removes any
chronic debility, general weakness or exhaustion associated with
chronic systemal toxicity, and exhibits disinfectant activity in
order to eliminate any infectious conditions in the blood
(sepsis); 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 (due to the presence of
certain flavonoids and volatile oils containing borneol, camphor,
cineole and thujone) 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 (due to the presence of phenolic
acids such as carnosic and labiatic acid) 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; acts as an estrogenic blood tonic to the uterus, and
activates both glandular and urinary functions; 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; 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 enhance the eliminative
capabilities of the body; increases the secretion and elimination
of urine in order to provide further support to the inner
cleansing process, and balances the chemical composition of the
blood; 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.
