Rhodiola Rosea, also known as “arctic root” or “golden root”, is a member of the family Crassulaeae, plants indigenous to the polar arctic regions of eastern Siberia. As a powerful adaptogen rhodiola offers broad nonspecific effects supporting overall body function particularly via adrenal stress.

Dosage

One to three capsules daily at mealtimes or as directed by your healthcare professional.

Rhodiola rosea extracts used in most human clinical trials were standardised to contain 3 percent rosavins and 1 percent salidroside.

 

Potential applications

Stress, adrenal support, fatigue, sports performance, depression, cardiovascular maintenance, colds and infections, cellular health, learning and memory, blood sugar control, amenorrhea, male/female sexual dysfunction, adjunct treatment with chemotherapy, liver protection, antioxidant, protection against gum disease, improving auditory function.

 

Known contraindications

Although rare, certain individuals who experience nervous excitability, feverish states, and hypertension, should not use rhodiola unless supervised by a qualified practitioner. Persons who experience coronary spasm and fluctuations in arterial pressure should also use under supervision.

Not recommended for use during pregnancy and lactation.

 

Interactions

Rhodiola may interact with ADRENERGIC BLOCKING AGENTS and ANTI-ARRHYTHMIC AGENTS.

Studies report that rhodiola may act in the body in a similar way, which may alter the effects of these medications and possibly the dose needed for treatment. Use with caution.

 

ADRENERGIC BLOCKING AGENTS

These drugs include atenolol, esmolol, betaxolol, penbutolol, carteolol, bisoprolol, pindolol, metoprolol, timolol, sotalol, acebutolol, nadolol, propranolol, labetalol, carvedilol, methyldopa, clonidine, guanfacine, guanabenz, brimonidine tartrate, dipiprazole, levobunolol, levobetaxolol, metipranolol.

 

ANTI-ARRHYTHMIC AGENTS

These drugs include amiodarone, bretylium tosylate, adenosine, dofetilide, propafenone, lidocaine, tocainide, flecainide, ibutilide fumarate, moricizine, quinidine, disopyramide, procainamide, mexiletine, verapamil, digoxin, propranolol, sotalol, esmolol, acebutolol.

Beta adrenergic blocking drugs: A class of drugs, also called beta blockers, that block beta-adrenergic substances such as adrenaline (epinephrine), a key agent in the “sympathetic” portion of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. By blocking the action of the sympathetic nervous system on the heart, these agents relieve stress on the heart. They slow the heart beat, lessen the force with which the heart muscle contracts and reduce blood vessel contraction in the heart, brain, and throughout the body.

Antiarrhythmic drugs are medicines that correct irregular heartbeats and slow down hearts that beat too fast.

Sfera Tulsi Holy Basil

Sfera Tulsi Holy Basil

Sfera Tulsi Holy Basil

Sfera Tulsi, which is often referred to as holy basil, is a potent herb that has been used in India for thousands of years to treat colds, coughs, and the flu. According to Ayurveda, holy basil promotes purity and lightness in the body, cleansing the respiratory tract of toxins, and relieving digestive gas and bloating. Holy basil leaves offer a rich source of essential oil, containing eugenol, nerol, camphor, and a variety of terpenes and flavonoids. The oil is a strong antiseptic against many kinds of disease-causing organisms, including bacteria, fungi, and parasites

Holy basil is known for its therapeutic power. It has a rich history dating back 3,000 years ago to ancient Indian uses. Historically used as medicine due to its widespread therapeutic power, holy basil leaves are now regarded by most countries as adaptogens (anti-stress agents) and have been used widely to promote health throughout the entire body.

It’s suspected that holy basil is native to tropical Asia, although it now grows in many tropical climates across the globe. Today, tulsi is commonly consumed in supplement form or as tulsi tea. It’s used as a natural remedy for anxiety, adrenal fatigue, hypothyroidism, unbalanced blood sugar and as a home remedy for acne.

In modern medicine, in the last few decades, several Indian scientists and researchers have studied the pharmacological effects of various parts of the tulsi plant on the immune system, reproductive system, central nervous system, cardiovascular system, gastric system, urinary system and blood biochemistry.

 

Ingredients

One capsule provides: Tulsi 500mg.

Warnings

Tulsi may lower blood sugar levels. Caution is advised in patients with diabetes and hypoglycaemia. Tulsi should not be used during pregnancy or breast feeding.

Directions

As a food supplement take 2 capsule daily with food or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

Feel Healthy A Vogel Echinaforce 100ml

A Vogel Echinaforce 100ml

Echinaforce is a herbal remedy used for the symptomatic relief of colds, influenza type infections and similar upper respiratory tract conditions.

It helps the body fight the symptoms of these infections by supporting the immune system, helping to maintain the body’s resistance.

Benefits and features of Echinaforce

  • Helps fight the misery of colds and flu
  • Strengthens the immune system
  • Made from Echinacea purpurea
  • Fresh herb extract

Echinaforce is produced using extracts of freshly harvested, organically grown Echinacea purpurea herb and root, picked fresh and used within 24 hours of harvest. The benefit of using freshly harvested herbs has been demonstrated in research – extracts produced from fresh plants contain almost 3 times more active substances compared with those obtained from equivalent amounts of dried herb*.

This is why, when you need a herbal remedy to help you fight the misery of colds and flu, not all Echinaceas are the same.

 

Echinaforce is a herbal remedy made from fresh extracts of Echinacea purpurea herb (95%) and Echinacea purpurea root (5%). It is available as drops (tincture in 30ml, 50ml & 100ml bottles) and as tablets (60 & 120 tablets):

  • Echinaforce Echinacea Drops: This is the original Echinacea extract formulated by Alfred Vogel and contains the tinctures of Echinacea purpurea herb and root. 0.6ml drops contains the equivalent of 285mg whole fresh plant. Also contains 65%v/v ethanol.
  • Echinaforce Echinacea Tablets: This is the tabletted version of Echinaforce® Echinacea Drops. Each tablet contains the extract of Echinacea purpurea herb and root equivalent to 270mg whole fresh plant. Also contains lactose, starch, magnesium stearate.

Echinacea is a plant native to America but is now cultivated extensively in Europe. The plants used to produce Echinaforce® are cultivated organically in Switzerland at our own herb farms.

Up to 10 species of Echinacea have been identified, but only three (Echinacea purpurea, Echinacea angustifolia and Echinacea pallida) are used medicinally. Echinacea purpurea, the species used in Echinaforce®, is considered to be the most widely researched.
