Baikal Skullcap, 2 oz. Scutellaria baicalensis
Scutellaria baicalensis is one of the fifty fundamental herbs of traditional Chinese medicine and was one of the active components of the popular PC-SPES prostate formula that was withdrawn from the market in 2002 following reports of varying traces of pharmaceutical drugs in the formula. The New York University Medical Center reports, “Highly preliminary evidence suggests that baicalin can enhance the activity of antibiotics against antibiotic-resistant staph bacteria. Other highly preliminary evidence suggests that baicalin, wogonin, and baicalein may have anticancer, anti-inflammatory, liver-protective, anti-anxiety, and antihypertensive effects.”
Contains: extract of Scutellaria baicalensis root in Distilled Water and Organic Grain Alcohol. This product is sulfur-free and chlorine-free.
Warning: Not for insulin dependent diabetics.

Cat's Claw Extract, 2 oz. Uncaria tomentosa
Uncaria tomentosa is a rain forest herb with demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties. It is therefore often used for people with rheumatoid arthritis. Preliminary studies suggest that cat's claw slows tumor growth and that it enhances immunity. It is safe in the recommended doses; side effects are usually associated with possible allergic reactions to plants in the Rubiaceae family.
As more and more studies are being conducted, interest in cat's claw has come to include AIDS (in conjunction with Jergon Sacha) and Lyme disease. There are a few studies suggesting that this herb is capable of such actions because it is not only a superb free-radical scavenger but also promotes the repair of DNA.
Alcohol: 45%
Contains: extract of Uncaria tomentosa bark in distilled water, organic grain alcohol, and pure vegetable glycerin.

Echinacea Extract, 2 oz. Echinacea angustifolia
Echinacea is a Native American herb with a long history of use, mainly by the Plains Indians. It is perhaps one of the best known immune potentiators but its efficacy is greatest when taken preventatively rather than after symptoms begin to manifest. Those with both chronic and acute conditions can consider using Echinacea first and following up 20 minutes later with Spilanthes. This can be very effective with oral health issues.
Alcohol: 45%
Contains: fresh Echinacea angustifolia root in organic grain alcohol.

Houttuynia Extract, 2 oz. Houttuynia cordata
Houttuynia is an edible herb widely used in Southeast Asian cuisine but found also as far north as Korea. It is known medicinally as the poison destroying plant but its action seems more antimicrobial than detoxifying. For this reason, research has been done on a wide variety of conditions ranging from herpes to Lyme disease an SARS. With more research, we can expect to understand the best uses, but it does seem to help in the regulation of blood sugar and hence also in fluid balance and weight management.
Alcohol:
Contains: Extract of Houttuynia cordata aerial parts, distilled water, and organic alcohol.
$
Kalmegh Extract, 2 oz. Andrographis paniculata
This intensely bitter herb promotes healthy flow of bile and respiratory comfort. It clears the throat, head, and lungs while simultaneously boosting immunity. Though sometimes considered a liver herb, it is also regarded as an immune herb, but studies suggest it is highly specific for both typhoid and fungal infections. There is a lot of research on this herb, everything from antivenoms to immune deficiency conditions.
Alcohol: 24-26%
Contains: extract of Andrographis paniculata aerial parts in Distilled Water, Organic Alcohol, and Vegetable Glycerin.

Pau d'Arco Extract, 2 oz. Tabebuia impetiginosa
Pau d'arco is one of the most well known South American herbs. It has a reputation for having anti-cancer, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties. It is also used to purify the blood and regulate blood sugar. Like many herbs with ethnobotanical traditions strongly suggestive of antitumoral properties, pau d'arco seems to benefit some patients more than others. It is widely believed to work better with patients with elevated levels of Candida albicans.
The earliest modern studies of pau d'arco were published by Dr. Theodore Meyer who successfully used it to cure very advanced cancers, especially leukemia. Some of his findings were questioned by those who attempted to attribute all results to a single compound. As with most herbs, the whole herb often protects against toxicity of the strongest chemical constituent, in this case, lapachol. In clinical trials, low doses stimulate immunity whereas higher doses reduce inflammation often associated with stimulation. As might be expected of an herb with antifungal properties, it helps to reduce allergic reactions.
Alcohol: 40%
Contains: extract of Tabebuia_impetiginosa bark in distilled water, organic grain alcohol, and pure vegetable glycerin.

Usnea Extract, 2 oz. Usnea longissima
Usnea, sometimes called Old Man"s Beard, is a lichen that grows on trees in virtually every part of the world. It has significant immune enhancing properties and is considered by many as a substitute for antibiotics, but it is regarded as both antibacterial and antiviral. This statement always needs qualifying because natural remedies are very seldom "anti" anything since they work by increasing immunity rather than destroying pathogens directly. They do this by providing nutrients for white blood cells. Traditionally, usnea is considered to be immune enhancing and antifungal. It is safe and can be combined with other immune herbs such as echinacea. It is used mainly for sinus and respiratory relief as well as gynecological protection.
Alcohol: 79-81%
Contains: Extract of Usnea longissima Thallus in Organic Alcohol, Distilled Water, and Vegetable Glycerin.
