Ancient Japanese remedies harboring the wisdom of ages have merged with modern technology to develop unique supplements that feature herbs used for centuries to promote health and well being. Rooted in sacred philosophy, and revered for their healing powers, the three herbs listed below provide nutrition, increase immunity, give total body cleansing and inspire invigoration and the cultivation of happiness and tranquility.

Eleuthero Root

Known as an "adaptogen," an extraordinary element offering a broad range of health benefits, the Eleuthero Root reduces the effects of stress on the body in a multitude of ways. Providing improvement in memory, increased endurance, and defense against radiological activity, the Eleuthero Root stimulates immune function and aids the body in total health.

Believed by scientists to help prevent "adrenal burnout" caused by ongoing physical or mental challenges, it also acts as an anti-inflammatory that decreases cortisol levels. In addition, it contains amazing chemoprotective qualities that protect healthy tissues from the toxic effects of anticancer drugs.

Albizzia Bark

Used worldwide by scientists and researchers alike, bark from the Albizzia plant is a soothing agent and herbal remedy used to alleviate emotional aliments and decrease stress. Known as "the herb of happiness," Albizzia Bark possesses natural ingredients that refresh the mind, calm the spirit, and restore a sense of tranquility and peace.

Dating back hundreds of years, and part of ancient traditions that celebrated the bark’s de-stressing abilities, Albizzia Bark is completely non-chemical and has been shown by researchers to contain antioxidants that encourage emotional well being.

Dimocarpus Longan

Used for centuries to nurture the health of the heart, this super-fruit revitalizes the blood, invigorates the spleen, and adds vibrant luster to the skin. A staple of the earliest holistic remedies known to man, Longan also treats stomach aches, insomnia, and has even been shown to help cure amnesia.

An essential energy-providing element, Longan enhances mood to invite a contented, happy mind, and supplies the body with stamina against physical strain and mental stress. Supporting the immune system and calming the nervous system, Longan truly does it all.

Centuries ago, before modern medicine, the use of plants, roots, herbs, and flowers was critical in maintaining health and treating illnesses. Over the course of hundreds of years, knowledge began to amass revealing the effectiveness of certain combinations of specific herbs. Today, many doctors in traditional, Western medicine believe that while modern medicine may produce a quick fix, it does not provide long term solutions and work in accordance with the body’s natural functions and energies. A movement toward alternative medicine and treatments is gaining momentum in modern medical field, reverting back to use of natural herbs and plants.

One natural treatment that is being employed is the use of Beta-glucan. Beta-glucan is considered the most powerful supplement available for overall immune function and plays a crucial role in the body in its ability to modulate the immune system. Equipped with healing properties, it is a powerful antagonist to both benign and malignant tumors, and activates the body’s natural immunological defenses.

Clinical studies conducted in Japan suggest Beta-glucan promotes innate immunity without over-stimulating the immune system (as many clinical drugs do) and reduces influenza-infected cells. It also has been proposed in recent studies that it increases NK cell activity, and has been demonstrated in laboratory studies to kill H1N1 and Bird Flu viruses. It has even been used to treat cancer, and has been proven in several clinical studies to shrink tumors, inhibit tumor growth, and stimulate the body’s natural ability to destroy a tumor. In fact, in Japan for the past twenty years extracts containing an assortment of different types of Beta-glucan have been used to effectively help cancer patients.

With such compelling advantages to the body’s first line of defense–the immune system, and pioneer in the cancer-fighting war, the potent Beta-glucan is a central and highly valued ingredient in any health supplement.
