Dr. Miller's Tea Ingredients
Blessed Thistle
Blessed Thistle has fuzzy leaves and stems with yellow flowers. It is
a "bitter" that aids digestion and works on a congested liver.
It increases breast milk and is an emotional ally to uplift spirits.
Biological name: Compositae Cnicus benedictus
Blessed Thistle [Glandular] is so named because of the ancient belief
that it possessed supernatural qualities. It grows up to two feet tall
and is found in meadows and along roadsides. From May to June the plant
bears pale yellow flowers. Among natural-health enthusiasts the plant
is commonly used to support the female reproductive system.
By mouth, blessed thistle products are used primarily to treat gastrointestinal
complaints such as indigestion and diarrhea. Blessed thistle can also
be applied to relieve skin wounds.
Note: Although the plants appear similar, Blessed Thistle has much different
uses than Milk/Holy Thistle
Warning: This product contains cathartic herbs. Pregnant and nursing
women, elderly, children and individuals suffering from any illness or
health condition should consult with a physician before starting this
or any other cleansing exercise of weight management program.

Historically, Blessed Thistle has been recommended as a treatment for
stomach upset, indigestion and gas.
Treating smallpox, fever, anorexia, dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation
and flatulence. It is also popularly regarded as a galactagogue, as mentioned
above. It is a wonderfully magical herb.
Holy Thistle (Scientific Name: Milk Thistle)
Holy thistle has been used medicinally for over 2000 years, most commonly
for the treatment of liver and gallbladder disorders. It supports the
liver in the release of toxins; its products are popular in Europe and
the United States for various types of liver disease. Holy thistle is
believed to have great power in the purification and circulation of the
blood. It is such a good blood purifier that drinking a cup of thistle
tea twice a day will cure chronic headaches. Used for stomach and digestive
problems, gas in the intestines, constipation, and liver troubles. It
is very effective for dropsy, strengthens the heart, and is good for the
liver, lungs, and kidneys.
Milk/Holy Thistle contains silymarin, which may have specific protective
effects on cells in the liver. Silymarin and other chemicals in milk thistle
are believed to protect liver cells in several different ways:
- Contains antioxidant properties. Antioxidants prevent or lessen damage
to body cells caused by oxidation.
- Anti-inflammatory effects of silymarin help keep liver cells from
swelling in response to injury.
- Silymarin seems to encourage the liver to grow new cells, while discouraging
the formation of inactive fibrous tissue.
- By changing the outside layer of liver cells, silymarin may also keep
certain harmful chemicals from getting into liver cells.
Holy Thistle may also cause the immune system to be more active.
Silymarin and other chemicals from Holy Thistle have also been tested
in laboratory studies involving various types of human cancer cells. In
general, they seem to interrupt cancer cell division as well as shortening
the time that cancer cells live. They may also stop or limit the formation
of new blood vessels that supply tumors. Most research has centered on
breast cancer and prostate cancer, but Holy Thistle may also be useful
in treating other cancers such as leukemia. Additionally, some chemicals
from Holy Thistle may increase the effectiveness of current anticancer
drugs. Some of these anticancer effects are being studied in early-phase
human trials, but none is yet confirmed.
Malva Leaf
 The
plant is also known as Chinese Mallow, and it comes from the family Malvaceae.
Malva Leaves are used medicinally, often made into a tea to soothe membranes
of the digestive system. Malva Leaf is high in mucilaginous materials,
making it suitable as a protector of the respiratory system and a soother
of the lungs. It is indicated in cases of bronchitis, emphysema, and when
bronchial irritation is present. Malva Leaf is mildly astringent and diuretic,
and has been used to treat gastroenteritis, stomachache, and conditions
of the spleen.
The Malva seed contains mucilage, polysaccharides and flavonoids. It
is demulcent, (soothes and softens irritated tissues, especially the mucus
membranes) diuretic, emollient, (softens the skin) galactogogue (increases
milk flow in nursing mothers), and gentle stimulation of the bowels. The
seeds are used in Tibetan medicine, where they are considered to have
a sweet and astringent taste plus a healing potency. They are used in
the treatment of renal disorders, the retention of fluids, frequent thirst
and diarrhea.
The weedy Malva Leaf has been used interchangeably for food, tea and
medicine for thousands of years.
Malva has been used for:
- Bronchitis
- Colitis
- Cutaneous Diseases
- Gastroenteritis
- Inflamed Hemorrhoids
- Inflammation of the Cervix
- Intestinal Infections
- Leucorrhea or White Discharge
- Pleurisy (Inflammation of the membrane that covers the lungs)
- Rectitis
- Soften Tumors and Abscess
- Tonsillitis
Marshmallow Leaves
Marshmallow (Althea officinalis)-the herb, not the white puffy confection
roasted over a campfire-has been used for centuries as both a food and
a medicine. Its botanical name comes from the Greek word "altho,"
which means "to cure." The Romans, Chinese, Egyptians, and Syrians
used marshmallow as a source of food, while the Arabs made poultices from
its leaves and applied this to the skin to reduce inflammation. The mucilage,
or gummy secretion, in the leaves and particularly the root is helpful
for soothing sore throats, chapped skin, and minor wounds.
Professional herbalists may recommend marshmallow for the following
health problems based on its long history of use in traditional healing
systems, as well as results of laboratory studies.
- Asthma
- Bronchitis
- Common cold/sore throat
- Cough
- Inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative
colitis
- Stomach ulcers
- Weight loss aid (marshmallow swells with fluid and gives a sense of
fullness)
- Wound healing
Milk Thistle
Silybum
marianum
Other Names: Cardui mariae, Carduus marianum, Lady's Thistle, Legalon,
Marian Thistle, Mariendistel, Mary Thistle, Our Lady's Thistle, Silimarina,
Silybin, Silymarin, St. Mary Thistle
Milk thistle contains several chemicals with possible medical effects.
Most current research focuses on one of them, silymarin, which may have
specific protective effects on cells in the liver. In multiple human,
animal, and laboratory studies, silymarin has shown differing degrees
of effectiveness for protecting the liver from damage caused by alcohol,
chemicals, drugs, diseases, and poisonous plants. It is used to treat
both acute conditions (such as poisoning) and long-term diseases (such
as hepatitis C). Silymarin and other chemicals in milk thistle are believed
to protect liver cells in several different ways:
Silymarin has antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are thought to prevent
or lessen damage to body cells that is caused by a chemical process called
oxidation.
Anti-inflammatory effects of silymarin help keep liver cells from swelling
in response to injury.
Silymarin seems to encourage the liver to grow new cells, while discouraging
the formation of inactive fibrous tissue.
By changing the outside layer of liver cells, silymarin may also keep
certain harmful chemicals from getting into liver cells.
Milk (Holy) thistle may also cause the immune system to be more active.
Silymarin and other chemicals from milk thistle have also been tested
in laboratory studies involving various types of human cancer cells. In
general, they seem to interrupt cancer cell division as well as shortening
the time that cancer cells live. They may also stop or limit the formation
of new blood vessels that supply tumors. Most research has centered on
breast cancer and prostate cancer, but milk thistle is also being tested
for treating other cancers such as leukemia. In some animal studies, certain
types of breast cancer tumors actually increased in number and/or seriousness
when milk thistle was given to female animals with existing breast tumors.
However, the application of a second milk thistle chemical, silibinin,
to the skin of laboratory animals has protected the animals against the
development of skin cancer - either before or immediately after exposure
to damaging radiation. Silibinin may even help to restore damaged skin
somewhat by mending DNA that has been harmed by ultraviolet rays. In addition,
some chemicals from milk thistle may increase the effectiveness of current
anticancer drugs. Some of these anticancer effects are being studied in
early-phase human trials, but none is confirmed, yet.
Milk thistle and chemicals derived from it are being studied for a number
of additional possible effects. For example, in a study of humans, milk
thistle produced modest reductions in cholesterol levels. Results of separate
laboratory studies show that milk thistle may help to protect the heart
muscle from damage caused by certain drugs.
Persimmon Leaves
Rich in vitamin C. Helps to prevent allergy symptoms and itching.
Allergies are your body's overreaction to allergens, which can range
from animals to food to plants. Normally, your immune system protects
your body from harmful substances such as bacteria, viruses and toxins
by producing antibodies. If you have an allergy, your body overreacts
to exposure to certain allergens by producing antibodies which cause the
symptoms you experience.
Many people treat their allergies with pharmaceutical drugs. These treatments
provide rapid, temporary relief by masking the symptoms. But the symptoms
reoccur when the drugs wear off, and the drugs themselves can trigger
side effects like dry mouth and nasal passages or lethargy. And who needs
more discomfort?
Botanical extracts offer a safe and effective way to alleviate symptoms,
while avoiding the unpleasant side effects of conventional drugs. Studies
have shown that supplements containing healthy phytochemicals and botanical
extracts such as Persimmon Leaves work to alleviate symptoms without negative
side effects.
Botanical extracts also help treat the real cause of long-term allergy
problems - the immune system's excessive release of allergy-inducing
chemicals -- by inhibiting histamine release and correcting immune system
dysfunctions. That's good news for allergy sufferers.
Allergies make you miserable! Instead of relying on pharmaceuticals
that provide temporary relief and add different symptoms to the mix, why
not try Holy Tea which contains the proven extract of Persimmon Leaves?
Take control of your allergies - NATURALLY!!
Red Clover Blossoms
Red Clover is also known as Meadow Trefoil, Cleaver Grass, Marl Grass,
Sweet Clover, Wild Clover, Cow Clover, and Purple Clover.
Ancients called it Triphyllon, meaning "three leaves". This
term also relates to the common name, Clover, which stems from "clava",
meaning "three-leaved". The three leaves were said to correspond
to the triad goddesses of Mythology, and later to the Trinity in Christianity.
Red Clover grows in Europe and North America. The plant grows best where
soils are rich in calcium, phosphorus and potassium. The flowering tops
are used medicinally. In Europe, Red Clover is widely cultivated and used
as a tonic and a salad herb. Honey makers to add a mild, sweet taste to
their honey use Red Clover. Herbalists have long prized this herb for
it's traditional use as a blood purifier, expelling toxins from the
bloodstream.
Primary chemical constituents of Red Clover include phenolic glycosides
(salicylic acid), essential oil (methyl salicylate), sitosterol, genistiene,
flavonoids, salicylates, coumarins, cyanogenic glycosides, silica, choline,
and lecithin. Red Clover also contains vitamin A, vitamin C, B-complex,
calcium, chromium, iron, and magnesium. Researchers from the National
Cancer Institute (NCI) have found anti-cancer properties in this herb.
Red Clover is one of the most useful remedies for children with skin problems.
Because it is mild, it makes an excellent nutritional supplement for children.
The expectorant and anti-spasmodic action give this remedy a role in
the treatment of coughs and bronchitis, but especially in whooping cough,
dry cough and colds. Red Clover also increases the production of mucus
and urine flow helping relieve irritation and inflammation of the urinary
tract. As a digestive aid, Red Clover stimulates the production of digestive
fluids and bile. It also relieves constipation and helps soothe inflammation
of the bowel, stomach and intestines. Red Clover contains easily absorbed
calcium & magnesium which tones and relaxes the nervous system, relieving
tension due to stress and the associated headaches, which are further
relieved by the silicic acid content. Clinical evidence shows that there
is a basis for its long-standing tradition in treating cancer and its
anti-microbial properties have been proven effective against tuberculosis.
For women, Red Clover is quite special. It contains stilbene, which
stimulates estrogenic activity, thus increasing fertility, and reduces
"hot flashes" experienced by women during menopause. It also
supports the uterus with its vitamin content, and the high protein content
nourishes the whole body. There is also an alkalizing effect, which improves
the vaginal and uterine acid/alkaline balance. Red Clover Blossoms is
a powerhouse in maintaining our good overall health.
Sarsaparilla Root
(in Miracle Tea only)
Sarsaparilla
is a natural herb that has been used by many individuals in connection
with liver disease and syphilis. However, it is most commonly used in
connection with eczema, psoriasis, and other skin disorders. It is a natural
power root that helps the body fight all disease.
Sarsaparilla is native to South America, Latin America, Mexico, and
the islands of the Caribbean and was introduced to Europe in the late
15th century. Unlike the sarsaparilla tree, which is primarily found in
the Northern hemisphere, sarsaparilla is a vine-like plant that has wood-like
stems and long thorns. Sarsaparilla was exported to Europe before 1530
from Mexico. It was used in the sixteenth-century for syphilis and rheumatism.
Sarsaparilla was used in the 1850s for syphilis in the U. S. Pharmacopoeia.
Sarsaparilla products were promoted as blood purifiers, tonics, diuretics,
sweat inducers, and for many other applications and was often used in
patent medicines. With claims implying it contains testosterone, sarsaparilla
has been used as a male sexual rejuvenator and an anabolic steroid replacement
in natural bodybuilding formulas.
Sarsaparilla contains steroidal saponins, such as sarsasapogenin, which
some researcher claim can duplicate the action of some human hormones.
Sarsaparilla also contains beta-sitosterol, a phytosterol, which may contribute
to the anti-inflammatory property of this herb. A few reports suggest
that sarsaparilla has both anti-inflammatory and liver-protecting effects.
Similar findings on the effect of sarsaparilla on psoriasis can also be
found in European literature.
It is used in other parts of the world in connection with acne, eczema,
fungal infections, and similar skin conditions. Sarsaparilla can be applied
to the inflamed or infected skin in a tea form by slashing it on as a
wash or as a compress. Topically it seems to be effective against itching
and infections and seems to possess antibacterial properties. See our
special accolade to this wonderful herb on our Home Page.

"A Healthy Dose of Sarsaparilla"
By Jerome L. Cosyn
Hanging in my living room is an advertising poster from sometime in
the late nineteenth century. It hangs in my house largely because of the
wonderful artwork: a lovely, angelic, round-cheeked young girl, with blue
eyes and curly blonde tresses and rosebud lips. A vision of virginal Victorian
virtue, the epitome of youthful innocence and beauty, a paragon of health
and rectitude, she gazes serenely into the distance, head turned slightly
to profile in a posture that conveys wonder and hope and a guileless and
immaculate strength. A slight flush of rose in her cheeks reveals her
energetic enthusiasm for life, for this child faces each new day with
eager confidence. Her eyes betray no hint of worry or fear; she has never
known disease or suffering. In this painting is encapsulated everything
a loving parent could possibly hope for his children. The artist -- totally
unknown, of course -- had an enormous talent: the ability to distill the
dreams and hopes and grandeur of a proud and growing culture from a palette
of oil colors onto canvas.
The portrait, naturally enough, takes up most of the poster: near-life
size head and shoulders of the girl centered against a neutral background.
Across the top, in tastefully bold-faced letters drawn in an eye-pleasing,
jaunty calligraphy, not too large, not too bold, not too gaudy, is the
name of the product: Ayer's Sarsaparilla. In the upper right and upper
left corners, in slightly smaller, more sedate print, are the phrases:
"Makes the Weak Strong" and "Improves the Complexion, Purifies
the Blood". Across the bottom is the slogan:
"How fair she grows from day to day."
She uses Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
How quaintly absurd we find such claims today, for a simple beverage
of mere flavored water once dispensed as a "tonic" (which is
still the general term for soda pop in certain areas of the country) but
which was little different from the drink we now call root beer. The sophisticated
American mind of today would of course scoff at such pretensions as "Purifies
the Blood", even if truth-in-advertising laws let them slip through.
Today, we know better than to place our faith in wild claims of health
and vigor from ordinary foods and beverages. We can smile at the naive
charm of those simpler times, seeing through such transparent attempts
to manipulate us as easily as a modern ten-year-old dispels the myth of
Santa Claus.
Nowadays we would never be taken in by snake-oil incantations and absurd
assertions from fast-talking medicine show hucksters. Today, people are
vastly more aware, more perceptive than those simple-minded bumpkins of
yore. We're seasoned, sharp and cynical, educated, worldly. We know
about health and medicine and nutrition because there are thousands of
books and magazine articles, talk show interviews and free government
pamphlets, concerned co-workers and relatives and even complete strangers
on the street to explain it to us. We can't get through a day without
being told a dozen times what's truly healthful and what to avoid;
we're bombarded, lambasted, inundated with endless volleys of wellness
programs and organic vegetables, workouts and smoke outs, vitamins and
minerals and high-fiber, low-sodium alternatives.
We monitor our intake of caffeine and calories, sugar and sodium, and
we scrutinize our cholesterol and blood sugar levels; we abhor MSG and
eschew carcinogens. We aerate, chlorinate, and fluoridate; we exercise
and aerobicize. In even the smallest towns can be found a cornucopia of
organic bean curd, hydroponic tomatoes, hand-made marmalade and high-protein
low-fat tofu. In short, we are the most health conscious, medically aware,
biologically in-tune society that mankind has ever produced, and no one
could ever be deceived by so obvious a canard as "Purifies the Blood".
These days, when advertisements proclaim that seemingly ordinary products
will enrich our lives and ensure our health, we know that they can be
believed, because clean-cut, smarmy, bespectacled men with straight white
teeth and conservative ties and white smocks stand before us, clutching
clipboards like stone tablets handed down from the mount by the god of
scientific scrutiny, with actual, factual, objective reports that prove
it to be so. Television advertising is awash in a veritable Sargasso Sea
of graphs and charts and diagrams and reports, from the AMA, the ADA and
the FDA; medical experts, dental authorities, trained nutritional specialists
and ubiquitous independent study teams demonstrate to us with unimpeachable
testimony that the products offered to us are blessed and beneficial.
Keen scientific minds are diligently and tirelessly at work performing
elaborate research, writing books, giving interviews, and providing a
steady, life-giving stream of facts and statistics to keep us healthy
and prolong our lives.
A bran muffin a day will add years to your life. The right facial cleanser
will actually slow the aging process. Mothers who care about their kids
would rather die than feed them the wrong brand of peanut butter. A simple
shot glassful of cough syrup will eradicate a multitude of symptoms. The
nutritionally correct choice of bread will build your body in a baker's
dozen ways. Chicks dig guys who use tartar control toothpaste. Just one
of these pills will cause your body to burn away as many calories as if
you'd run a marathon -- and it's COMPLETELY SAFE! Indeed, you
take your life in your hands if you use a product that isn't doctor
tested, clinically proven, medically effective, nutritionally beneficial,
dentist approved and scientifically validated.
Before the advent of television, it was easy for advertisers to dupe an
unsuspecting public because reality could be modified or even fabricated
by professionals who specialized in creating specific images. The angelic
young girl on my antique sarsaparilla poster is an artistic creation,
an idealized representation brought into existence solely for the purpose
of selling a product. In all her perfection, she was never really real.
But today, the electronic marvel of television brings us visible reality;
people who actually exist and who have clearly known the amazing benefits
of the products they offer us. The faithful scrutiny of the camera brings
the truth into our homes.
Yes, gone are the days of primitive hucksterism and those quaintly transparent
claims of health and vitality from ordinary food and hygiene products.
Health awareness has come of age. "Purifies the Blood" indeed!
We've come a long way, baby.
Southern Ginseng
(in Miracle Tea only)
Other
Names: Gynostemma, Amachazuru, Jiaogulan, Miracle Grass,, Vitis pentaphyllum,
Xianxao, Southern Ginseng pentaphyllum
Powerful Adaptogenic and Antioxidant Herb
Although it has been used to treat a wide range of diseases in its native
areas of China, Southern Ginseng has been studied most for its effects
on the heart and blood vessels. Southern Ginseng may have a direct strengthening
effect on the heart, causing the heart to beat more powerfully. It may
also have a number of secondary cardiovascular effects, such as reducing
the stickiness of blood components called platelets. Created in the bone
marrow, platelets circulate in the blood. In a process called "platelet
aggregation", they stick to injured tissue, beginning the blood clotting
process and promoting wound healing. Southern Ginseng's potential
reduction in platelet aggregation may help to reduce the build up of plaques
in blood vessels. Plaques are accumulations of fats and blood cells that
may lead to heart attacks or strokes if blood flow becomes restricted.
In addition, Southern Ginseng has been shown in laboratory studies to
widen blood vessels -- an effect that may both lower blood pressure and
reduce the workload on the heart. Evidence suggests that Southern Ginseng
also contains chemicals that may lower cholesterol levels in the blood.
Because it is an antioxidant, Southern Ginseng also has the potential
as an anticancer and immune-stimulating agent. Antioxidants are thought
to protect body cells from damage caused by a chemical process called
oxidation, which produces oxygen free radicals, natural chemicals that
may also suppress immune function. As shown in laboratory studies of human
cancer cells, Southern Ginseng may disrupt normal cell division in cancer
cells, thereby preventing or delaying the onset of cancer and destroying
existing cancerous tumors. Separate animal studies show that Southern
Ginseng may also help to regulate the immune system. When it was tested
with either deficient or overactive immune systems, Southern Ginseng appeared
to return immune function to levels that are more normal. The antioxidant
effects of Southern Ginseng may also protect the liver from some of the
damage caused by certain drugs or chemicals or by chronic alcohol abuse.
In animal studies, Southern Ginseng has interfered with the development
of liver fibrosis – the formation of scar-like fibers in the liver.
Because the non-functioning fibers crowd out active liver tissue, liver
function decreases gradually as the amount of fibrous tissue increases.
Southern Ginseng contains many amino acids, vitamins and minerals that
are healthful to the human body, including selenium, magnesium, zinc,
calcium, iron, potassium, manganese, phosphorus, and more. Environmental
pollution, poor nutrient, and stress can all lead to liver deficiency
where the body is not able to convert food into energy, and instead convert
them to triglycerides and stored as fat. Southern Ginseng may help regulate
fat metabolism, maintain normal cholesterol levels and maintain a healthy
blood pressure.
Chinese Herbal Remedy for Cardiovascular Diseases
Southern Ginseng is a powerful adaptogenic Chinese herb that has been
used for centuries by the Chinese as an expectorant and a natural way
to relieve inflammation. Belonging to the cucumber family, this herb is
also referred to as "southern ginseng" where it is grown traditionally
in the mountainous region of South Central China. This is a region of
the world that is well known for the longevity of its inhabitants as well
as the low incidence of cardiovascular diseases and cancer that exist
there. It was believed that the food and lifestyle there contributed to
the well-being and longevity of its inhabitants. But now it has been shown
that one herb in particular was a major factor accounting for the low
rates of cardiovascular diseases in that region. That herb is Southern
Ginseng and scientific pharmacological tests reveal that Southern Ginseng
has the most incredible ability to lower cholesterol levels in the blood
stream. Southern Ginseng works by emulsifying the cholesterol deposits
that have accumulated on the vascular walls, flushing them out from the
circulatory system. Additional benefits to the circulatory system include
lowering high blood pressure, decreasing the level of high blood fats,
and reduction in the incidence of blood clots and arteriosclerosis.
Its importance to cardiovascular health is well-known but Southern Ginseng
has other lesser known but equally important health benefits. Being an
adaptogen, this herb has the unique ability to help "restore homeostasis"
or "re-establish equilibrium" to the body's various systems,
which includes the cardiovascular, digestive, nervous, immune and reproductive
systems. Besides its ability to help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) levels,
it also help increase good cholesterol (HDL) levels, boosts the immune
system by elevating the number and activity of white blood cells, strengthen
the digestive system by assisting in liver function through inhibited
oxidation of liver cells and relieve stress by soothing and relaxing the
central nervous system.
Additionally because of its direct stimulation on liver function, Southern
Ginseng may also be use for natural weight loss. This is especially true
for those with a liver deficiency or imbalance, which happens to be most
of us. If you work and live in a big city with its surrounding bad air,
nutrient deficient diet and worked-related stress, then you have a liver
deficiency or imbalance to some degree, whether you know it or not. In
a person with a normal, fit liver, consumed sugar and carbohydrates are
sent to the muscles to be used as energy whereas in a person with an unfit
liver, the sugar is converted instead to triglycerides and then stored
as fat. Southern Ginseng's ability to greatly inhibit the "unfit"
body's tendencies to store sugars as fat and thus help control the
metabolism of fat in the body. Studies have now been conducted that verifies
Southern Ginseng ability to help regulate fat metabolism, which plays
an important role in the body's capacity to lose weight.
Southern Ginseng is rich in amino acids, antioxidants and minerals and
is safe for long-term continuous use. The health-promoting properties
of this "miracle grass" are as described:
- Helps maintain healthy cardiovascular function by reducing unhealthy
cholesterol levels and lowering high blood pressure by decreasing vascular
resistance and increasing coronary blood flow.
- Its adaptogenic properties enhance physiological functions, aiding
the body to recover from illness, stress and fatigue.
- Powerful antioxidant for protecting the body from free radical damage.
- Strengthens the body's immune system and increase its resistance
to diseases.
- Inhibits growth of cancerous cells in the brain, lungs, liver, kidneys,
stomach, breasts, uterus, prostate, rectum, thyroid and skin.
- Enhances liver, spleen and digestive system functions, prevents and
cure constipation and inhibit the formation of gallbladder stones.
- Assists in natural weight loss by effectively blocking the body's
conversion of sugar into stored fat.
- Slows the aging process by strengthening cellular function and promoting
cell proliferation.
- Soothing, sedative effects on the central nervous system helps memory
and cognitive functions, improves quality of sleep and relieve incidence
of insomnia.
- Helpful in the prevention of hair loss and formation of gray hair
by increasing the enzyme activity of cell membranes responsible for
nourishing the hair follicles.
