Alleviates any general fluids dyscrasia (abnormal or pathological condition) within the blood vessels and tissue-systems throughout the circulatory and cardiovascular systems while regulating any general blood dyscrasia by purely qualitative means through the altering of any injurious processes, and eliminates any form of cachexia (state of malnourishment and general debility) associated with arteriosclerosis (arterial hardening) or atherosclerosis and hypercholesterolemia (excessive cholesterol formation); removes any circulatory system imbalances associated with hypertension and arteriosclerosis, and demonstrates mild astringent and decongestant effects upon the entire venous circulation; exhibits coagulant hemostatic effects in order to eliminate any venous blood stagnation, and relieves any congested blood conditions associated with various heart muscle deficiencies; demonstrates antiphlogistic activity in order to reduce any severe inflammatory conditions associated with arteriosclerosis, and acts as a restorative to the heart muscle; provides greater regulatory, normalizing and equilibrating effects upon an aging heart muscle, due to the presence of various organic nitrogen compounds (choline, tyramine and acetylcholine); demonstrates both sympathomimetic and hypertensive activity (due to the presence of tyramine), and strengthens the blood vessels and capillary system (due to the presence of rubinasides); acts as a vasoconstrictor to the blood vessels in order to regulate heart muscle action and blood pressure, and tonifies the lining in the walls of the veins; 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 blood vessels and tissue-systems throughout the circulatory and cardiovascular systems; exhibits cytophylactic and cytotoxic effects in order to increase cellular defense against any infection or infectious conditions, and displays significantly increased resistance towards any stressful conditions (particularly throughout the entire capillary system); displays bacteriostatic activity in order to arrest the growth of harmful pathogenic bacteria, as well as natural antibiotic properties in order to prevent the growth of certain microbes; exhibits bacteriostatic and microbicidal activity in order to strengthen and increase the resistance of the blood vessels against any invasive or harmful pathogenic bacteria or microbes throughout the arteries, veins and capillaries, as well as to inhibit the further development of any inflammatory or infectious conditions throughout the cardiovascular or circulatory systems; displays 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 by exerting an extremely positive influence towards correcting any blood vessel or tissue inflammation and various other internal inflammatory conditions; exhibits significant antiseptic effects 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 blood vessels and tissue-systems throughout the entire cardiovascular and circulatory systems; 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); 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 blood vessels or tissue-systems throughout the entire organism; acts as a biocatalyst in order to accelerate and accentuate the transport of all the other herbal ingredients throughout the entire organism to specific areas of the body (especially the blood vessels and cardiovascular system), and exhibits circulatory stimulant activity 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 and tissue-systems; 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 blood vessels or tissue-systems; displays cell proliferant activity in order to inhibit the normal aging process within the blood vessels or tissue-systems, thereby extending the overall lifespan of the various cells and tissues throughout the entire organism; 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 increase the overall resistance of an organism towards any adverse influences or stressful conditions (whether they be physical, chemical or biological in nature), especially upon the blood vessels, musculature, immune system, and both the central (cerebro-spinal centers) and peripheral nervous systems; 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 blood vessels of the circulatory and cardiovascular systems; acts as a circulatory stimulant by increasing the blood flows through the arteries and blood vessels in order to enhance greater nutrient transport, absorption and utilization, thereby accelerating the healing processes associated with the repair of any damaged tissue-systems 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 illnesses, while facilitating greater recovery response during convalescence in order to fully regain optimal health and well-being; activates the bodily processes of detoxification and elimination in order to cleanse and purify the bloodstream and tissue-systems, 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 or 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.
