This tincture is comprised of some of the best herbs for inflammation reduction, potent antioxidants and tonics for pain reduction.
About the herbs..
Turmeric Root: This pungent and warming herb is revered for its anti-inflammatory properties which are backed by modern research showing it to work to sensitize the body's cortisol receptor sites. It is stronger acting than hydrocortisone without the negative side effects. Curcumin, one of the major constituents of turmeric, has been shown to be powerful against some types of cancer and it has strong antioxidant properties. It has been shown to lower blood cholesterol and prevent the formation of clots. It is a digestive aid and somewhat bitter herb. It helps to stabilize micro-flora in the digestive system and inhibit yeast overgrowth. It is also an effective immune-enhancing herb. It is regarded as safe for all ages and stages.
Solomon's Seal Root: Solomon’s seal contains allantoin that makes it a natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. This root has an absolutely extraordinary effect on the muscular and skeletal systems of the body. It influences a wide variety of ailments relating to tendons, ligaments, bone, joints, bruises, breaks, calcification, decalcifications and more. It really shines with connective tissue troubles and has the amazing ability to either loosen over tight tissues or constrict overstretched tissues. It can re-calcify or de-calcify deposits and rebuild cartilage. AND It improves the body’s ability to produce synovial fluid, repairing joint problems and preventing rheumatism and arthritis. Additionally, it soothes irritation in the digestive tract, lungs, throat, and reproductive system. It's truly an amazing root and well worth the expense.
Ginger Root: Another pungent and warming herb, ginger root contains enzymes that have been shown to reduce inflammation and repair damaged joints and cartilage tissue. It improves circulation, reduces cramping and lowers blood-level triglycerides linked to diabetes and heart disease. It is also effective for GI infections, cold-type imbalances like poor circulation, colds and flus, congestion and more. This herb is also regarded as safe for all ages and stages.
Devil's Claw Root: This is one of the best herbs for pain management and inflammation. Clinical trials have shown devil's claw to possess the ability to inhibit inflammatory cytokines. It contains pain dampening components that ease arthritis, back pain and general musculoskeletal pain. It has strong antioxidant properties and may help those with IBS, diabetes and chronic autoimmune diseases. It is also useful for liver and gallbladder ailments. No known adverse effects are known except digestive upset in large doses.
Black Peppercorn: I added tincture of black peppercorn to make the curcumin in turmeric more bioavailable. Piperine enhances the body's absorption of curcumin by up to 2000%. Piperine is the bio-enhancing compound found in black pepper. Too much black pepper tincture can irritate those with sensitive stomachs so I added just enough to enhance the effects of the turmeric root.
