Astragalus:
Involved with maintaining our defences and life force: May raises the body’s resistance to external pathogens. Contains chains of polysaccharides and supports macrophage production, which are involved in increasing the body's effectiveness in fighting viruses and infections. Astraglaus has been found to be most active as a harmoniser of phagocytosis, the process by which white blood cells remove foreign substances such as unwanted bacteria. It also is believed to nourish and balance white blood cells.
Reishi mushroom:
Entire books have been written on the benefits of the Reishi mushroom. Stimulates the immune system. A natural source of interferon (a protein involved with healthy immune response). The book "Oxygen Therapies" by Ed McCabe states that Reishi mushroom traps oxygen in its leaves which then help to oxygenate the body.
Maitake:
Another therapeutic mushroom with similar properties to Reishi
Lapacho:
Very widely used in natural medicine. Contains the compounds lapachol, anthraquinones, and mapthaquninones. Reputed to be strong anti-microbial, anti-viral, anti parasitic, anti-fungal (anti candida). May support red blood cells, immune system, lymph and liver.
Burdock Root:
Burdock Root believed to be a "blood purifier" in traditional botanical medicine. It is an essential ingredient of Essiac tea, and The Hoxsey Botanical Tonic (we recommend you to do a separate Internet search on these famous remedies).
Una de Gato:
Also known as Cat's Claw. Immune booster and detoxifier. Has many other benefits. Please see our page on Samento, which is a form of Una De Gato.
Red Clover
Long prized for its traditional use as a blood purifier, expelling toxins from the bloodstream. Also believed to support the immune system. Also found in the famous Hoxsey botanical treatment mentioned previously.
Schizandra
Used in traditional Chinese medicine for its adaptogenic properties and as a restorative remedy for immune enhancement. An adaptogen is a herb considered to have a normalizing action irrespective of the direction of the pathological state. Thought to balance the nervous system whether you're too sleepy or nervous and agitated. Beleived to have a similar balancing effect on the immune system. In China, Schizandra is also used to increase "the water of the genitals," referring to its use in nourishing sexual fluids and "calm the heart and quiet the spirit." Long term use is said to help to beautify the skin. Schisandra is also said to build wei chi, the defence energy (immunity) of the body, so one is better able to resist infection and disease. Schisandra is listed among China's most important herbs.
