PROPERTIES:
This formulation contains herbs that are traditionally used in the treatment
of conditions affecting the circulatory system. It has an overall tonic and
strengthening effect on both the blood vessels and the heart itself. In addition,
the secondary nervine properties have a relaxing effect on the central nervous
system that supports the overall action of the formulation by helping to reduce
stress, an important factor in most conditions of the circulatory system.
Circulatory Tonic will help to improve general circulation including that
of the peripheral parts of the body such as the hands and feet. The strengthening
effect on the blood vessels will also be beneficial for conditions such as
varicose veins and hemorrhoids. This formulation also has a regulating effect
on blood pressure and is useful in the treatment of both high and low blood
pressure. It may also have a preventative effect on the formation of plaque
in the arteries.
SUGGESTED USE:
15-30 drops taken in 1-2 ounces of pure water. This should be taken 2-4 times
per day on an empty stomach for periods of 2-3 months. The best times are
15-30 minutes before meals and immediately before bed.
SUPPORTIVE:
Conditions of the circulatory system are related to a number of important
lifestyle factors. It is important to eat a diet that is low in saturated
and rancid fats (avoid red meats, dairy products and deep-fried foods as much
as possible) stimulants such as caffeine and nicotine (coffee, black and green
tea, chocolate, cola, cigarettes) and processed sugar. Conversely, it is equally
important that the diet be high in fresh fruits and vegetables and soluble
fibre (oat bran, flax seeds, etc.). Stress is usually a factor and it is important
to learn how to manage stress in your life. If stress is a major factor, the
Nerve Tonic may be a helpful supporting formulation. Exercise not only strengthens
the heart and improves circulation, it contributes to stress reduction as
well. A healthy liver is necessary for the proper assimilation of fats and
cholesterol. It is therefore important to reduce consumption of foods that
are loaded with toxic chemicals (additives, preservatives, artificial colours,
flavours and sweeteners, pesticides, herbicides, etc.) because these kinds
of foods add to the toxic stress load on the liver. In addition, supplementation
with anti-oxidants such as vitamins A, C and E, selenium and bioflavinoid
complexes including quercetin, hesperidin, rutin and proanthocyanidin will
help strengthen the blood vessels while protecting the heart, blood vessels
and liver from the harmful effects of pollution and toxic chemicals. If liver
function is compromised the Digestive Tonic may also be helpful.
