Burdock Root
A member of the daisy family, burdock root has been used as a powerful health-aid for centuries! It is one of the most well-known herbs for helping prevent the growth of unhealthy cells and protect the body from many degenerative conditions. A highly nutritious plant, burdock contains many nutrients vital to the immune system and essential for optimum health, including: iron, amino acids, plant sterols, fatty oils, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, folic acid, riboflavin, pyridoxine, niacin, vitamin E, and vitamin C. This nutrient powerhouse helps the body stave off infections, strengthens the nervous system, boosts the immune system, and protects against unhealthy cell growth. Burdock is also known as one of the best blood purifiers, as it contains certain diuretic principles, which help expel toxins from the blood through the urinary tract. A valuable source of many non-starch polysaccharides such as inulin, glucoside-lappin, and mucilage, burdock acts as a gentle laxative and supports the digestive system.

Sheep Sorrel
Sheep sorrel is known to be a cleansing and detoxifying diuretic that helps stimulate healthy cell regeneration and contains powerful antioxidants and free radical scavengers. Highly praised as a vermifuge, intestinal worms are said to have no resistance to the natural properties of this herb! Sheep sorrel is a rich source of oxalic acid, sodium, potassium, iron, manganese, phosphorous, beta-carotene, and vitamin C. The combination of these vitamins and minerals promote the glandular health of the entire body. Another notable property of this herb is its ability to help regulate digestive health, meaning that it can act as an anti-diarrhea agent as well as a laxative, depending on the health of the digestive tract.

Kelp
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have found that a diet containing kelp seaweed lowered levels of the most powerful female sex hormone, oestradiol, in rats. These findings raise hopes that it might decrease the risk of oestrogen-dependent health problems. Used for centuries to remineralize the body, kelp is rich in many valuable nutrients, including:
• Chlorophyll • Naturally-chelated minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, iodine, and sulfur • 25 vitamins, including: A, B12, folic acid, and D (ones often lacking in vegetarian diets) • Sodium alginate, which actively helps remove radioactive elements and heavy metals from the body.

Red Clover Blossom
Contains genistein, an valuable compound that prevents new blood vessels from forming within unhealthy cell growths. Since these unhealthy cells rely on new blood vessels to grow, genistein effectively starves them while allowing new blood vessels to grow only in healthy tissue! Red clover is a powerful blood cleanser, helps eliminate toxins from the body, reduces swelling and inflammation, promotes tissue repair, and relieves pain!

Slippery Elm Bark
Contains high levels of antioxidants, supports immune function and healthy digestion, soothes the digestive tract, helps maintain normal elimination, absorbs and eliminates toxins from the bowel. Contains both beta-sitosterol and a polysaccharide which have been shown to destroy unhealthy cell growth. American settlers used slippery elm as a food due to its exceptional nutritional value. It is said that George Washington and his troops survived several days on slippery elm by making it into a gruel during the winter at Valley Forge.

Turkish Rhubarb Root
Has been shown to inhibit the growth of unhealthy cells. Supports normal bowel function and encourages a healthy digestion and appetite. Purges the body of bile, parasites, and stagnate food by stimulating the gall duct to expel toxic waste matter. Helps support the bowel’s natural cleansing and detoxification process by cleansing the liver, spleen, and colon. Supports health breast cell formation. A natural diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial, it has been used extensively to relieve constipation.

Blessed Thistle
Blessed thistle is used to stimulate secretion of gastric juices and saliva, to increase appetite and facilitate digestion, and to stimulate the flow of bile. It has been used as a component of many alternative therapies and also has antibacterial and antifungal activity.

Watercress
Watercress is rich in glucosilinate, a sulphuric compound that is useful for blocking many types of unhealthy cell growth and acts as a strong antioxidant. Watercress is particularly high in vitamin A and calcium, and regular use of this herb can enhance immune function and protect against harmful substances the body comes in contact with. It is widely believed to help defend against lung problems.
