This proprietary blend includes quail egg that contains ovomucoids, acting as a tryptase inhibitor, and alpha-glycosyl isoquercitrin, a highly bioavailable form of the widely regarded bioflavonoid quercetin.
For Sun Exposure
The sun may be the source of energy on our planet Gaia but modern life often doesn’t match well with bodies evolved over millenia. Too much sun at once can be painful and potentially dangerous.
For over 100 years homeopathic Natrum carbonicum has been used around the world in both preventing and reversing sunstroke and other adverse effects of heat and sun exposure. Typically, users report feeling back in stride after a dose or two of Natrum carb. 30c.
Hydrating with electrolytes will feel so much more complete. Research has shown vitamin D to show both preventive and therapeutic effects with burns from, including from excess sun exposure.
Digestive Health
Curing Pills, a favorite of the Chinese population for centuries, is commonly used for indigestion, overeating and “upset stomach”. Convenient individual packets. Safe and gentle.
Saccharomyces boulardii first emerged clinically in France where they found that it reduced diarrhea and other adverse effects in hospital patients given antibiotics. Subsequently, Saccharomyces has become widely used in response to food poisoning and other types of digestive distress. Longer term intake is recognized as supportive of a diverse gut microbiome and healthy gut ecology.
Strains, Sprains and Minor Injuries
Every day we treat patients for musculoskeletal injuries in our clinic. While we take care of many hikers, bikers, runners and other athletes, we have been pleased to discover how we can help the many folks who come in with muscle tension and joint pain from gardening.
In the homeopathic tradition of self-care Arnica montana is commonly used for impact injuries, the “bump”, while Ruta graveolens is a key remedy for pulling and straining, the “tug”. For both the usual potency is 30c but a few doses of the 200c potency is often remarkable for more severe trauma.
We benefit from the historical intertwining of the traditions of martial arts and those of Chinese herbal medicine – these herbs are called “hit medicine”. The Great Mender formula has been used for hundreds of years. You’ll notice the injured martial arts practitioner on the label. Whether a pull, a hit, or post-surgery, Chinese medicine emphasizes moving the Blood (Xue) as the primary therapeutic action, rather than simply suppressing pain and inflammation as with conventional drugs.
Topical herbal applications are very popular in China. Whether an acute bruise or “tear” or chronic joint and muscle pain, our favorite is the liniment Evil Bone Water. A colleague in Florida makes an authentic version of this legendary formula.
