Dong Quai has been a highly treasured herb in the Orient for several thousand years. It is often referred to as "female ginseng". In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is used for a variety of purposes, including reproductive, circulatory, and respiratory conditions.*

Black Cohosh is approved by the German Comission E monographs for complaints of premenstrual, dysmenorrhoeic, or climacteric origin. It has a long history of traditional use supporting hormonal balance during menopause and menstruation.*

Ginger has been used as a favorite “diffusive” circulatory stimulant and heating agent; calming nausea, removing phlegm or catarrh in a wet cough. It has also been used to support a healthy inflammatory response and is widely used for motion sickness.*

Licorice is covered by a positive Commission E monograph and can be used for catarrh of the upper respiratory tract as well as gastric and duodenal ulcers in Germany as an "OTC" medicine.*

Saw Palmetto, a member of the Palmae/Arcaceae plant family, is native to the southeastern part of the US and West Indies. It has been used for at least 150 years in North America as a complete genito-urinary tonic for men as well as for some conditions in women.*

Technical Comments
There are many “active” chemicals in Black Cohosh root including; Phytosterin, the isoflavone formononentin; isoferulic, fukinolic, caffeic, and salicylic acids, sugars, tannins, long chain fatty acids, 15-20% resins including cimicifugin and triterpene glycosides. The triterpine glycosides particularly 27 deoxyacetin, and acetin are the chemicals used to standardize the most effective preparations used in published clinical trials. It is approved by the German Comission E monographs for the following applications; complaints of premenstrual, dysmenorrhoeic, or climacteric origin. In one randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled comparative clinical trial, 80 women with climacteric symptoms received a standardized preparation of Black Cohosh, conjugated estrogens (.625 mg/day) or placebo for 12 weeks. At the end of the treatments patients receiving Black Cohosh had improved compared to both placebo and estrogen. Both physical (measured by the Kupperman index) and psychological (measured by the Hamilton Anxiety Scale) symptoms were significantly improved. More research is needed to fully understand the exact mechanism of activity.*

Ginger and her cousin Turmeric are proud members of the zingiberaceae family and grow in sub-tropical, volcanic soils in the southern hemispheres. The plant is thought to have originated in tropical Asia and is widely cultivated in the Caribbean and Africa. All cultures report similar uses of this plant. It has been used as a favorite “diffusive” circulatory stimulant and heating agent; calming nausea, removing phlegm or catarrh in a wet cough. It has also been used to support a healthy inflammatory response. Ginger is also widely used for motion sickness. Ginger is one of the most widely consumed aromatic spices on the planet.*

Licorice contains triterpenoid saponins notably glycyrrhizin and glycyrrhetinic acid as well as a fair amount of flavonoids and flavones like liquiritin and numerous chalcones and isoflavones. Licorice is covered by a positive Commission E monograph and can be used for catarrh of the upper respiratory tract as well as gastric and duodenal ulcers in Germany as an "OTC" medicine. Although there have been numerous studies conducted on animals and humans involving both isolated chemicals from licorice and various preparations more research is needed to determine the exact mechanism of the various actions of Licorice. That being said it remains one of the most widely used and trusted herbal medicines among traditional botanical practitioners.*

Saw Palmetto
, a member of the Palmae/Arcaceae plant family, is native to the southeastern part of the US and West Indies It has been used for at least 150 years in North America as a complete genito-urinary tonic for men as well as for some conditions in Women.*
