The following is excerpted from The Professional's Herbal Formula Handbook No. 4, comprising 73 pages of traditional information and recent scientific data that describes the medical properties, physiological action and therapeutic uses for each of the 24 ingredients outlined in this formula.

Adaptogenic, alterative, anabolic, anti-allergic, anti-cachexic, anti-catarrhal, anti-dyscratic, anti-infective, antioxidant, antiphlogistic (anti-inflammatory), antipyretic, antiseptic, mild diffusive astringent, decongestant, disinfectant, expectorant, febrifuge, restorative, circulatory stimulant (circulatory and secretolytic), tonic and vasoconstrictor.

Alleviates any general fluids dyscrasia (abnormal or pathological condition) within the mucous membranes throughout the upper respiratory tract (sinus cavities, bronchial passages and throat region) that leads to the onset of various forms of allergies or allergic reactions (including atopic, bacterial, bronchial, contact, drug, food, hereditary or pollen), and eliminates any form of cachexia (state of malnourishment and general debility) throughout the mucous membranes of the sinus cavities, throat and bronchial or nasal passages; displays anti-catarrhal and expectorant properties in order to accelerate and strengthen the functional capabilities of the entire expectoration process, thereby facilitating the loosening and expulsion of any excessive gummy or viscid mucoid or phlegmatic accumulations from the entire respiratory tract (including the lungs, sinus cavities, throat and bronchial or nasal passages); eliminates any acute catarrhal conditions by reducing various internal secretions and excessive mucus or catarrhal discharges from any relaxed mucous membranes, and removes any tissue hyper-relaxation accompanied by copious or profuse secretions; eliminates any blood or mucoid congestive conditions accompanied by marked tissue debility, as well as any excessive muco-purulent discharges; relieves any naso-pharyngeal catarrh accompanied by swollen hyperemic membranes (with or without any capillary bleeding), and eases any sinus congestion or venous blood stagnation; alleviates any inflamed sore throat or mouth conditions, including any chronic inflammatory swelling in the fauces, larynx and pharynx (accompanied by pale or relaxed mucosa); displays diffusive astringent properties (due to the presence of tannins) in order to reduce any painful inflammatory conditions, and exhibits vasoconstrictor effects directly upon the muscular fibers in the veins in order to contract any inflamed blood vessels; alleviates any irritation or inflammation of the aural canal, as well as any irritated or inflamed conditions in the external auditory meatus (especially when caused by irritation from the presence of inspissated cerumen, congestive nasal catarrh or chronic pharyngitis); exhibits significant antiphlogistic activity 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 various allergies or allergic reactions by exerting an extremely positive influence towards correcting any blood vessel or tissue inflammation and various other internal inflammatory conditions; displays significant pulmonary antiseptic effects (due to the presence of eucalyptol) 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 mucous membranes throughout the entire respiratory system; 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 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/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) activity in order to provide greater resistance towards many physical or chemical agents and various allergic or infectious conditions, as well as greater reinforcement to the body in relation to its ability to deter any external aggressive bacterial or viral agents during the onset of allergies; 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 entire organism; acts as a circulatory stimulant by increasing the blood flows through the arteries and blood vessels of the upper respiratory tract in order to enhance greater nutrient transport, absorption and utilization, thereby accelerating the healing processes associated with the repair of any damaged mucous membranes or tissue-systems throughout the sinus cavities, throat and bronchial or nasal passages; 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.
