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); 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; 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; 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, fats, iron, magnesium, manganese, niacin,
phosphorus, potassium, protein, selenium, and vitamins A, B1, 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; 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; exhibits laxative and microbicidal
properties, due to the presence of anthraquinone glycosides
(emodin and chrysophanic acid); acts as a powerful blood builder
and tissue restorative while cleansing and purifying the
bloodstream and lymphatic system, and invigorates the blood and
lymph fluids; removes any blood congestion in the uterus, and
alleviates any weakened recuperative powers; acts as a
restorative in order to relieve any blood deficiencies
accompanied by general debility, fatigue and weakness; provides
increased stamina, endurance and vitality, and increases the
production of red blood cells and hemoglobin (due to the presence
of high levels of iron and other assorted mineral salts);
activates the bodily processes of detoxification and elimination,
and increases both sensible and insensible perspiration in order
to enhance the eliminative capabilities of the body; acts as an
eliminative vasotonic to the blood, liver and splenic functions,
