Introduction

Medicinal herbs and plant extracts:a passion for well-being, a passion for nature

Our seriousness and professionalism are our hallmarks, the outcome of a long tradition centred on the use of aromatic and medicinal herbs for personalwell-being. The course we have pursued has taught us to know the intimate natureof plants and we have gained the knowledge that allows us to supply plantsand extracts that are selected, processed and packaged with innovative techniques which respect the characteristics of the raw material as provided by nature.

Our vegetable raw materials are: healthy and selectively chosen, originating in suitable zones and harvested during the balsamic phase, and dehydrated according to natural methods; checked, selected and cleansed with the aid of qualified personnel and machinery of the latest generation;stored in decontaminated environments, thermo-hygrometrically standardized, specifically designed to reduce to a minimum the impactof environmental factors on the quality of the dehydrated plants;certified under the Quality management system ISO 9000:2001, the HACCP self-regulation system and an internal service of quality control that ensures the safety and traceability of all the plants.

The care that makes the difference:the care with which we treat products from their arrival at the company to the end of processing. In order to achieve this, systems and low impact technologies have been put in place that respect the delicate balance that exists betweenthe active ingredients contained in the plant.

Plant repository: where the plants “recharge their batteries.”We like to say, for simplicity’s sake, that, in our warehouses, the plants don’t age, they “rest,” loading themselves up with positive energy.The area devoted to the storage of herbs, constructed according to the principles of geobiology and completely decontaminated of Hartmann nodes and geo-pathogenic fields, is furnished with a pyramidal superstructure oriented north-south and east-west, whose proportions are basedon the aureate section, allowing the plant to live in a bio-architecturally harmonious environment, able to avoid the exhaustion of the plant’snatural energy, and “recharge it.” All the structures are provided with temperature and humidity control systems that ensure the best thermo-hygrometric conditions.The special layout of the environment allows lighting conditions that ensurethe stability of the pigments and the active ingredients against degradation and photo-oxidisation.

Extraction by ultrasound: as delicate as a breath, as powerful as an explosionSpecifically developed for the extraction of the active ingredients of plants, ultrasound technology allows the complete extraction of the drug while conserving the integrity of all the phytocomplex, be they thermolabile(proteins, amino acids, vitamins and enzymes etc.), thermostable, water-soluble and fat-soluble. This is made possible by the mechanism of “cavitation,”that is, the mechanical breaking down of the cell walls by shockwaves produced by ultrasound generators immersed in the extraction liquid, which causesthe release of cell fluid and vacuolar fluid. In this way, a stable emulsionis created of the molecules contained in the plant cell. Visualising the plant cellas an egg, the ultrasound simply breaks the shell in a selective way in orderto allow the release of the contents, which are simultaneously mixed to obtaina homogenous, stable mixture of yolk and albumen.

Quality and safety in first place“Primum non nocere”. (“First, do no harm.”). The quality and safety of the products are our first thought: in addition to the self-regulation plan under protocol H.A.C.C.P., for the further protection and guarantee of our product, we have developed a system of quality management that covers the entire process, from finding the raw materials through to the finished product.Internal laboratory analysis allows direct control of the raw materials, products, intermediate and production processes, according to a rigorous standard based on the official pharmacopoeia and the regulations on nutrition and nutritional supplements.

Revitalised informed water: more than a simple solvent

Care over the raw materials does not end with the plants, but extends to all the elements involved in the production process, above all the water; because of this, we chose to use only revitalised water.Water of itself is not an amorphous molecule. It links up with many other molecules, creating interactions called “hydrogen bridges” to form a network structure that permits it to gather, store and transmit information.Even the in the so-called “solid elements,” the structure has its part to play; diamond and graphite, for example are both composed of carbon, but with different structures. As a consequence, diamond is absolutely the hardest material, while graphite is relatively soft. In official evaluations of drinking water, little importance is even now givento the structure; this is due, above all, to the fact that this characteristic is not yet measurable. The mature water that emerges has its own typical structure, which is compromised by phenomenon such as the pressure in the piping, canalisation, the introduction of chemical substances and heavy metals. The procedure of the vitalisation of water takes place through a technology based on the transmission of oscillatory information and allows the recovery of the original memory of the spring water.It is a technology based on the transmission of oscillatory information. The equipment known as “water revitalisers” have within them chambers filled with “information water.” The oscillations (information) of the information water are transmitted to the water that passes through the equipment without there being any contact between the two liquids. Nothing is either added or subtracted to the water. Products prepared using vitalised water display improved qualities of conservation, greater stability even following microbiological modifications, greater self-purifying power, improved solvency powerand improved organoleptic characteristics (freshness, taste, odour).

Adaptogens: the heart of Adaptha

Adaptogens are specific plants to combat the negative effects of stress,both for preventive purposes and to aid recovery from an already existing situation. The word ‘stress’ is used in modern parlance to define a generalised situation of unease and tension. The stress reaction is a non-specific reaction by the organism to outside stimuli such as illness, certain phases of the reproductive cycle (pregnancy, birth, breast-feeding), lack of sleep, emotional causes, which are generically associated with disorders such as anxiety, insomnia, irritability, difficulty concentrating, dietary imbalance, tiredness and depression. As a biological response, stress is an important factor capable of influencingour state of health. The physiological importance of stress is to prepare (adapt) the organism to react to physical and psychophysical stimuli when these,in terms of duration and severity, are perceived as dangerous. During stress reactions, biological and hormonal changes and modifications to the autonomic nervous and immune systems occur, which tend to improve the response (the level of resistance or defence) of the organism both in terms of behaviour and biology. The adaptation response is greatest in young people from 20 to 30 years old, while it is reduced by half after 70. It is generally characterised by an increase in the levels of catecholamine, glucose and fatty acids in circulation and above all by the activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axes, which can, in weakened subjects (age, sickness), lead to anxiety, depression, apprehension, but also to changes in body tissues. When the stress reaction is too intense or too prolonged, the physiological mechanisms of rebalancing our organism can prove to be insufficient and may display decompensation.This leads to a constant state of tiredness, a little worse each morning, which, notwithstanding any feelings of enthusiasm, prevents us from keeping upwith the pace of life, making us apathetic, inactive and feeling barely alive. Difficulty in remembering things, poor results in studying and intellectual work, difficulty in maintaining concentration. Tension that denies us restorative sleep and reduces our capacity for recovery.Faced with a situation of “exhaustion” of this type, plants definedas “adaptogens” prove to be extremely useful.The term “adaptogen” indicates something able to produce a general improvement in the physical and psychological condition: increased resistance against fatigue, regulation of the metabolic functions, improvementin the cognitive capacity; it was coined in 1975 by the Swedish Herbal Institute, at the conclusion of research carried out of the Rhodiola rosea, to explain

the actions of this very interesting class of plant in the face of stress. Belonging to this category are ginseng (Panax ginseng), eleutherococcus senticosus, echinacea angustifolia, schizandra chinensis, hawthorn (Crategus oxyacantha), Rhodiola rosea, whose properties have been widely demonstrated.

The Adaptha formulations use a balanced combination of the main adaptogens of traditional use, which are “functionalized” accordingto the effect sought by specific plants and extracts, in order to steerthe effect of the preparation towards the resolutionof the specific disturbance.

The speed of the action of Adaptha

Adaptha exploits to a maximum the potential of the adaptogens by using oral spray for their administration.

Adaptha combines a particular and unique blend of plants with the innovative form of the sublingual oral spray, which, in comparison with the normal formsof administration, allows a more rapid and efficient administration.The zone between the lower palate and the tongue is bathed by blood vessels and the mucous membrane is very thin. All this aids the passage of the active ingredients from outside to the blood. The sublingual blood circulation reverses in the superior vena cava and therefore the active ingredients are distributed at the systemic level without passing through the liver, the organ in which the first transformation and eliminationof the greater part of the active ingredients takes place.

BACKGROUND

Geobiology and geopathyElectrical signals are clearly important in the control of all the biological processesand in the transmission of information from one part of our bodies to the other. Nerve cells propagate signals from one part of our body to another which, duly deciphered,are then retransmitted to muscles and other areas of our organism. It’s clear, therefore,how important the maintenance of the distribution of the physiological electrical currents are, avoiding both the accumulation of currents caused by static electricity and exposureto electromagnetic pollution.

Electromagnetic stressElectromagnetic fields represent a type of environmental pollution that, in recent decades,with technological development, has become ever more ubiquitous due to the greater electricity requirements and the ever growing use of electronic devices. In parallel, it is noted that exposure to these fields may in certain individuals be the cause of alterationsto the immunity system as well as a possible cause of neoplasia. At the basis of these health effects, there is an alteration in the transport of calcium and so an alteration in the mechanism of translating the intracellular signal.This type of pollution is present in particular in confined spaces since it is produced by the use of both small and large household appliances which operate through the use of mains electricity (50Hz) and by various types of cellular telephones (900Mhz). Pollution generated by electromagnetic waves becomes significant when those environments used for working activities are taken into consideration. Indeed, these work environments are continuously subjected to exposure to magnetic fields and so there is a risk of these health effects appearing over the long term. Furthermore, the danger of such exposure is aggravatedwhen it’s considered that low frequency electromagnetic fields are highly penetrative. Therefore the use of systems able to filter out harmful radiation aids the maintenance of the electrical balance of the body.

Geopathic stressOn our planet, natural electrical fields exist as a result of various causes. Telluric currents consist of an electrical circulation of weak intensity and an oscillating current that covers all the surfaces of the globe and are connected to terrestrial magnetism. Other causes of the production of natural currents are some oxidisation phenomenon created by the streams of dissolved oxygen in subterranean water courses: because of this, various substances oxidise, producing electrical currents. Earth radiation science concerns the interference and influence of all the waves that strike us. In ancient times, the Chinese chose the places to be used for building according to the study of the symmetry of the surrounding environment; the Greeks and Romans took their flocks of sheep to graze and sleep, for a year, on the terrain on which they intended to build. Awareness of the healthiness, or otherwise, of places has almost always been the prerogative of the priestly caste; the ancient sacred places - pagan and Paleo-Christian - are replete with positive energy. The Druids, Celts and Egyptians, with their early megalithic tombs,

obelisks, menhirs (upright stones) and pyramids and later, the architects of the great cathedrals, always took account of studies and research into places charged with positive energy and the neutralisation of negative energy. For proof of that - without necessarily being a believer - just go into a cathedral built in the Middle Ages: you feel almost in another world. Today, unfortunately, this custom has been lost and, in the name of progress, buildings are put up everywhere, sometimes - as sometimes we see - even without basic technical feasibility investigations. The fields of disturbance to be considered are: the Hartmann net, the Curry grid, fault lines, the water tables and the Cam points. The Hartmann net, named after the man who discovered it, is a network of magnetism that covers the entire globe. The Curry grid is a grid of electricity, at 45° to the Hartmann net, with negative and positive intersections, where points of ionisation are enhanced. The Curry grid is mobile and where it crosses another geopathic source it causes a very high frequency molecular orientation, resulting in damage to organisms close by. A fault is a fissure in a rocky mass, with disparity of the levels of the two edges vertically and horizontally - think of the San Andreas fault in California. The fault line, through water courses, emits gamma rays, which are at their greatest at night; so if one sleeps on a fault, whose energy is concentrated in a small area, there are negative effects on the organism. Subterranean water courses, before gushing out at the surface and feeding into the sea, they pass through small subterranean channels and all types of material. If the speed of the water is greater than 15 m/sec., the ionizing energy which is liberated is very great and interferes with living organisms. If another geopathogenic form is superimposed over the fault, this only accentuates the potential of agents harmful to the organism. The Cam geopathy is the superimposition, also on different planes, of electricity cables and water pipes, a situation that can easily be found under condominiums of several floors. The pathologies are due to the heating of the tissues and the effect of the waves are seen in the endocrine apparatus, the heart and the intestine. From the analysis of the plant and on-site inspection, a nexus of causalities including the place, the subsoil and built-up areas is found, nearly always with strong negativity in places selected for repose.

BACKGROUND

The work of Ernst Hartmann: Geobiology, Functional Medicine and Bioarchitecture

Introduction:

The brain, a marvellous biological computer granted us at creation and still almost completely unknown, emits around itself a weak magnetic field which originates in the area responsible for movement, and formulates thought. The forces that are active in high places manage to reinforce the energy of the human mind, which are present in different ways in each individual, and promote some particular psychophysical states and, perhaps, also communication with more subtle and higher levels of existence.When it is said that a place is rich with a “magic atmosphere” we attribute it to the beauty of the place, to the tranquillity in the air there and also to the interest and respect we feel for a site that reminds us of the sacred nature of the ancient inhabitants of the Earth. But the sense of wellbeing, of serenity, of physical and spiritual force that we perceive in these places is manifest in all those who visit there, even if only for cultural reasons, and the fresh and silent half-light of an ancient church induces everyone to prayer and meditation, just as the presence of an enormous mass set on the land, or the ruins of a temple, transportus to a particular state of mind commensurate with the awareness and preparation of each of us. Vigorous investigations and in-depth studies have lead to the discovery that certain places emit a particular force that acts positively on human beings which, beyond the time-space dimension, permits an encounter with transcendency that may be explained as apparitions, miracle cures and extraordinary phenomenon.The importance of sites charged with the energies of the Earth, so well known from antiquity, is that they can influence both nature and human beings.Looking back over time, we get an inkling of this knowledge, which we would so want to have and which currently is being sought through scientific means. For the people of the past, it was of the greatest important to know how to recognise the charged sites of the planet in order to recognise within them sacredness, even without celestial intervention. Something that was possible if they discovered the places from which arose these mysterious energies, or where the subsoil emitted radiation that was positive for physical and spiritual wellbeing. Then they considered the site sacred, suitable for making possible contact with beings from other dimensions and, with them, their manifestations, and they built there a structure, which, according to the feelings of those times, was the most adapted to enable all men to perceive it and benefit from its energy-giving possibilities. If, with great love and openness, we approach these traces, these symbols, these stones, these vestiges, we are once again able to perceive that which they felt and amplified by means of that structure which, around that energy-giving movement, they had wanted to erect. Our only chance is really to use love and openness, qualities we have been losing, in a particular way in the last two centuries. “Love” towards ourselves, the environment, the Earth and the whole Cosmos, in order to be able to place ourselves again within a network of cosmic relationships that they allow us to see.“Openness” towards everyone who surrounds us, be they this or that colour, who have

different traditions and philosophies, who pray to other gods or who deny them, who express themselves in the language of minerals or who use current science-fiction technologies: all must be accepted as the expression of a diversity that makes them similar and, often, equals in the search of a reason for which we can believe we are here.Then we will see ourselves and others with eyes that are not only the physical ones, hear sounds that will seem to have never been heard before, touch vibrations and energies that we will not recognise as physical, taste flavours that gods and angels enjoy and smell scents from past and future memory. We inhabit a planet that created us, but the Earth is a living being, intelligent and in continuous, constant evolution, whose life is completely connected to that of all beings who live above and inside it and its spirit unites with all this in a unique essence. In the same way in which this mother lives and collaborates with us, we must live and collaborate with all the other living beings which she has allowed to exist.

GeobiologyGeobiology is a discipline that studies the constant relationship between man and the earth in terms of energy, vibrations and magnetism, with the purpose of improving the way in which man interacts with his environment. Geobiology, in addition to the study of interference with man due to cosmic-telluric causes, also taking into consideration what are defined as technical aggravations. After thousands upon thousands of years lived in harmony with nature, Man has changed his living habits almost overnight. Indeed, in the last 100 years, man has discovered new forms of energy which accelerate progress to such a point that the advantages are quickly evident, but the disadvantages and risks to health are discovered after a significant delay. Various other branches have sprouted from geobiology, such as bioarchitecture and functional medicine, based on the principles enunciated by Dr. Ernst Hartmann following observation of natural phenomenon and the study of electromagnetic phenomenon, and popular history and tradition.

The Hartmann Theory Man has always been fascinated by the cosmic-telluric and magnetic aspects of the planet and erected megaliths or built sanctuaries where terrestrial magnetism was most apparent: these magical and sacred places have survived for millennia. In all antiquity, and in particular studying the sacred architecture from ancient Egypt and the pre-Colombian populations through to ancient Greece, indisputable traces are rediscovered of the study and sophisticated awareness of the constant relationship between the earth and the cosmos. The menhirs, dolmens, cathedrals and chapels are centres through which the telluric forces are channelled in order to enter into communication with those which arrive from the Cosmos and form places charged with energy and very strong vibrations; real regenerators of man’s organism which, if one stays above or alongside them for some time, one receives a charge of beneficial forces which lead sometimes to healing and often to improvement in physical and spiritual health. The great Egyptian pyramids have a very precise orientation with the summits pointed exactly at the cardinal points and with proportions that can be traced back to the “sacred cubit,” a measurement that exactly corresponds to ten millionths of the terrestrial polar radius (which was only determined scientifically in the last century). Vitruvius, in “De Architetura,” relates that, before building a house or a city, the Romans left a flock of sheep to graze on the land chosen,

later examining their entrails. Today, it is known that these practices have a basis in reality. The earth, already immersed in a huge field of natural radiation, indispensable to life, itself produces radiation; if, in a certain place, this is excessive, the effects will be shown in the liver function which, by regulating and filtering the blood, is the first barrier the body has against telluric rays.

dolmen

Just as the human body is traversed by the arterial and nervous system, so the Earth is traversed and bathed by a system of subterranean water and magnetic currents that emit vibrations. It is composed of a solid terrestrial crust and internal magma, a semi-liquid amalgamation. In the rotating movement of the Earth, the magma turns more slowly than the crust and creates a phenomenon of friction which emits electricity. It is the difference in the speed of rotation that creates telluric-magnetic currents which form a sort of grid with interconnected points of very great intensity, and which form magnetic axes which produce terrestrial magnetism.

The first to announce, in 1937, at the International Congress of the scientific press, the presence on the earth of an electromagnetic field with a network structure similar to that of the geographic lines of longitude and latitude, was Peyré. His hypothesis was taken up and

systemised by other researchers, Ernst Hartmann among them, of the University of Heidelberg, the father of modern geobiology. According to Hartmann, every organism on the Earth is subject to cosmic or telluric influences which act by changing the rhythm or intensity of the electromagnetic field due the to rotation of the globe on its own axis and around the Sun. Our planet behaves like the negative plate of an immense capacitor, the other part of which, the Cosmos, is positively charged. This cosmic-torque causes an electromagnetic field whose point of origin is found at the centre of the Earth which manifests itself in a network of streams of electromagnetic waves, which form a network defined as Hartmann’s grid. Hartmann spoke of a global network, or network H, with irradiation originating from inside the globe spreads out across the whole biosphere, contracting towards the poles and widening towards the equator, defining a grid oriented longitudinally in a North-South direction and longitudinally in an East-West direction.

Hartmann’s net

The mesh of this network describe rectangles which have 2.5 metre sides latitudinally and 2 metres longitudinally, with an area of 5 square metres. Every side has a width of 21 cm and at the points in which the two flows meet (4 for every 5 square metres) we have a structure defined as Hartmann’s Block. This web causes three zones of very different intensities: a very wide zone of rest for the vital forces constituted by the areas that press against the strips; a zone of first intensity, which is not harmful to man and which is gathered in the so-called “walls,” corresponding to the rays that describe the network; a third zone of intersection of the lines of force, in which the points of maximum telluric intensity lie, located at the intersections of the walls and defined as “Hartmann’s blocks” or “H blocks.”

details of the H net

According to the theory put forward by Hartmann, the H blocks represent the points of disturbance most active from the point of view of energy-giving, originating in the turbulence of the intersecting flows where energy is swallowed up or released. These blocks increase their respective strength when they coincide with other disturbances due to both natural and artificial sources. Determining the precise position of the H blocks is possible but difficult due to their relative instability, since they are under the influence of geophysical factors and natural and artificial electromagnetic disturbances. Where Hartmann’s grid corresponds in the depths with water tables, geobiological fault lines, subterranean water courses, types of terrain or ore deposits, there is a marked disturbance of the magnetic field which could delineate an area defined as a geopathogenic zone.This is data is much disputed, even if it has been observed that animals systematically avoid making their nests in structures that have a Hartmann block in their geometric centre. The only exception to this rule are cats and bees. The coupling of cosmic radiation/terrestrial magnetism represents the main physical factor in many important human biorhythms by which, in theory, an individual located in an environment in which there is an optimal balance between the effects of these factors, would live in a sort of biological limbo, protected moreover from factors that promote cellular ageing, both of astronomic and geological origin. It has been revealed, for example, that when the surface of the sun displays hyperactivity of the so-called “spots” there is, statistically, an increase in the incidence of neuropsychological, cardiovascular and immuno-hematological pathologies. It has also been proved that, by increasing the magnetic force, plants grow better, and that trees that grow on points identified as Hartmann’s blocks display less growth and are more subject to pathologies, as well as being statistically more frequently hit by lightning. If the vibrations that the ancients managed to “feel” were those of the magnetic field, then one may believe that, as sustained by the American physicist, Zabj Harvalik, after a long series of studies and researches, 90% of beings are sensible to oscillations, even minor ones, of the variations in the terrestrial magnetic field, and that the most open subjects perceive oscillations of half a millionth of a gauss, even if, so far, he has not succeeded in discovering how this may occur.

Faraday cagesAn antithetical situation but of similar importance in electromagnetic excess or imbalance is the absence of magnetism. The natural electromagnetic fields may be modified by artificial fields. In metal cages, such as, for example, a building constructed in reinforced concrete may display an absence of a natural electrical field, a phenomenon known as a Faraday cage. Michael Faraday, an English chemist and physicist, observed that any metallic structure in the form of a cage acts like a shield: the bodies contained within it are isolated from the action of external electrical fields, and only the magnetic fields remain. The lack of, or anomalous variations in, electrical fields lead to a state of general weakness, which in some cases becomes a real ‘sick building’ syndrome. It has indeed been demonstrated that the natural electrical field has a fundamental role in the maintenance of cellular polarisation and in the inhibition of the processes of proliferation of micro-organisms: in its absence, the organism has less defence. Hartmann’s theory explains the enormous mass of data gathered by doctors who study the so-called “functional medicine” (and, for Italy, by the B.E.R.I.A.R. institute) whose diagnosis starts from the study, by means of bioelectrical equipment, of the environment, and which brings to light the damage caused by permanence on points defined as geopathic, such as Hartmann’s blocks, from exposure to the form of buildings or environments, including from the emanation of subtle, negative waves from walls or land or articles of furniture.Within this context are the study of materials, geometric structures and the distribution of spaces depending on the correct management of the electromagnetic flows, of the earth/cosmic dipole and Hartmann’s grid.

The rebalancing of environments Each physical element has within it an energy which is given off and interacts with the environment in which it is located, emitting its charge into its surroundings. Imbalance and disharmony may be provoked by an erroneous placement of objects and environments in space. The first thing to do is therefore to identify the energy-giving characteristics and vibrations of the environment and identify points of disharmony or energy-giving eddies.The nodes of geopathogens may be identified with the aid of instruments similar to those used by water diviners, which allow the location of points of greatest energy-giving concentration.As well as instruments such as the galvanometer, which measures even weak electrical currents, and the geomagnetometer, which records magnetism of terrestrial origin, observations of animals and plants furnish certain indications. The dog is a good indicator and has an instinctive antipathy for zones of disturbance, while the cat loves the vibrations of the telluric rays of the network, in particular those in H blocks and chooses places of greatest stimulation. Bees produce three times the quantity of honey if they are on an H block, termites and ants, on the other hand, ook for zones of more intense irradiation to build their homes. Plants also demonstrate great sensibility towards geopathogenic zones, in which they have difficulties in rooting and growth, and are more easily subject to disease; a negative zone is made particularly evident by hedges which, in the areas concerned, lose vigour and turn yellow. Among the most sensitive, maidenhair ferns and parsley in pots, which in the wrong place will fail to develop. Cucumber, celery and onions do not grow in zones of disturbance.Once points of imbalance are identified, it is possible to intervene with a correct redistribution of the environments accordingly. All metallic structures modify electromagnetic waves. It is better not to place large metallic structures such as bookcases in bedrooms or even in the rooms below

them: the boiler and the car in the garage under the bedroom may have an amplifying effect. In order to neutralise the effects of telluric radiation in the bedroom, materials with shielding properties may be used: an effective remedy is a copper wire woven into a mat and covered with pure wool, and wood, cork, bamboo and wool have partial insulation properties.

Architectural WorksAs previously recorded, man has always built in accordance with rigorous principles whose origins are lost in the mists of time. The highest and most sought after expression of architectural works is Sacred Architecture. As a general rule, those who study sacred architecture have directed their study towards “signs and symbols,” that is, an interpretation of architectural work based on the function that it was meant to fulfil, neglecting the bioenergizing characteristics. Today, following numerous studies that until a little while ago were considered part of “esotericism,” we know that the most important temples of ancient Greece, as with the Egyptian and pre-Colombian pyramids, Stonehenge, Canterbury cathedral, the Manhirs and the Dolmens, were built with precise orientation on points of great energy-giving concentrations. What’s more, all these works correspond to geometric canons which can be traced back to the golden mean section, the sacred cubit and the radical rectangle, according to three dimensional relationships which reveal a clear energizing function. Perfect examples of this are the Menhirs. Megalithic works built in ancient times were systematically positioned on H blocks and often corresponding to subterranean water courses. According to geobiological interpretation of the work, the Menhir is a perfect exchanger. One of their primary functions was indeed to act as an antenna to receive the information coming from the cosmos in order to redistribute it on the earth; the other function was to collect the energy-giving information coming from the earth in order send it to the cosmos. Placing a hand 4-5 cm from the stone and running it slowly in a vertical and parallel direction, it is possible to perceive, as if they were currents of fresh air, two energy-giving currents which arrive from the sky and from the earth.

Menhir.

The PyramidThe most shining example of human awareness of the constant bioenergizing relationships between the earth and cosmos is without doubt the pyramid. From the iconographic point of view, it is known that the pyramid symbolises upward

awareness, the desire to rise to the heavens, linked to funeral rites of encounter and passage. Any pyramid which respects the perfect proportions of the pyramid of Cheops has a base perimeter equal to the length of the circumference with a radius equal to its height; the ratio between the static basic square and the moveable circle, express the elevation.

the Pyramid: proportions and mathematical ratios.

In this light, the pyramid may be considered a sort of interface between geological radiation and cosmic radiation. The pyramid, according to studies and geobiological surveys, may exercise a synergic action of concentrating radiation from the cosmos to the earth in an apex-base direction, and dispersing radiation from the earth to the cosmos in a base-apex direction. Within the pyramidal structure, force fields are formed that are different from those detectable in any other closed, geometric space. The pyramid collects cosmic energy (as a crystal catches light and fragments it), and may separate it out, having a reordering influence on the substance. One zone in which a major energy-giving condensation lies is that at a third of its height (corresponding to the position of the King’s Chamber in the pyramid of Cheops…)

PyramidologyThe rediscovery of pyramidal energy is quite recent history: in the thirties, the French philo-sopher, Paul Brunton, obtained authorisation from Cairo to spend an entire night in the King’s Chamber in the great pyramid. He made a detailed account of the incredible experience he underwent, describing numerous marvellous visions, astral projections and even spoke of a specific initiation received in the royal sarcophagus. At the same time, Antoine Bovis, a psychic and diviner, after an inspiring trip in Egypt, began the first experiments of mummifica-tion with models of pyramids. In 1949, Karl Drbal, a retired engineer, presented to the Patents’ Office in Prague his “device for maintaining the edge of a razor and razor blades” comprising of a model of the “Cheops type” pyramid. Only after 10 years of experimentation, in part carried out personally by one of the members of the commission, did the said office issue patent No° 91304. In 1968, the Nobel prize-winner, Dr. Luis Alvares, organised an expedition to Egypt to conduct research into the secret chambers of the Great Pyramid by measuring cosmic rays, which lose energy through the rocky layers of the pyramid, and would thus signal the presence of any empty spaces lying above the King’s Chamber. The data collected was processed by a computer in Cairo, without however revealing anything of interest that wasn’t already known. The same experiment, later assessed by Dr. Goneid, another researcher, gave altoge-ther different results, such as to support the presence of unknown energies inside the pyramid

which corrupted the recording of the data. From then on, research into the mysterious energy of the pyramid has been pursued at an ever more unrelenting pace. In 1970, a group of Mexican researchers, coordinated by Dr. Luis Alberto Rodriguez, among them an engineer, a psychologist and a physicist, founded a club in Mexico City with the inten-tion of starting a series of experiments regarding Pyramidology. Their research continued until 1990 and led to the progressive perfecting of the construction of pyramid models: it was ob-served that the energies did not depend on the amount of material used but, above all, on the form of the said material. The first tubular pyramids, without walls, were invented and tested, with the use of concentra-tors and superpyramidal caps, right up to our times, when the positive therapy of the pyramid has been established, even if not officially recognised.There are many researchers who have built models of pyramids, from a few centimetres to a few metres: the results of the tests carried out by them showed that the Energy of the pyramid activates living cells and mummifies dead ones. Among the applications, which are innumerable, we find that this Energy mummifies and dehydrates meat, eggs and all other ele-ments: it dehydates flowers and dries them with them losing their form and colour; it sharpens razor blades, removes oxide from gold and silver, purifies water and improves the taste of liquids that are inserted within it, and accelerates the growth of plants. It applies a “charismatic” force whose origin is not known and which we have called simply “Pyramidal Energy.” The use of pyramids is supported for any application, giving results by augmenting the auto-immu-ne capacity of our bodies, lending its energy to our regeneration and amplifying the quality of any remedy. By applying radionic enhancement circuits, optimum results are obtained by reproducing the energy-giving effects of any remedy (energising water and using the memory of it).

BACKGROUND

Grander Method of “Vitalizing” WaterIn the 21st century, we must definitively welcome the theory that the element of water was defined in a satisfactory way by the chemical formula, H2O. The last century was the century of the chemical approach to the phenomenon of water. In this century, it will be physics that will have its chance to get closer to the solution of the water enigma.

MemoryDoes water have a memory? Is it capable of accumulating information and even able to reproduce and transmit it? What was defined by J. Grander as “water memory” is a phenomenon through which certain properties of water are modified or lost following the most disparate events. In that sense, we may compare water to a magnetic tape capable of absorbing physical vibrations and reproduce them at will, without modifying, weakening or losing the information originally memorised. More problematic are the artificially produced vibrations which are also “recorded” by water. Due to diverse sources of emission (among others, the antennas of mobile phones, radio equipment, satellite radiation, high voltage cables etc.), the interior structure of water may be disturbed by technological radiation. The method and exact process of memorization of water are known to science at best by intimation and only theoretically. Much greater are the empirical data in the systematic testing of the understanding of the effects. Thus today it is known that the complex interior structure of water is responsible in conclusive measure for its properties. These diverse characteristics determine, for example, the length of time the water may be conserved, the conditions for the development of micro-organisms in water and finally even the healthiness of all the living beings with which the water exchanges information. These important properties, which may be present naturally in all water, are in large measure lost today by way of external influences, such as the pressure of the pipes, channelling, contact with metallic structures and the consequent electromagnetic charge, the emission of chemical substances and heavy metals. The fundamental idea of Grander technology lies in the effort of returning the internal structure of the water to an optimal state and conferring upon it a durable stability.

The structure of waterWater of itself is not an amorphous molecule, but by nature is bipolar; it is linked with many other water molecules through hydrogen bridges which organise themselves to form a network structure which permits it to collect, store and transmit information. In the official evaluation of drinkable water, little importance is still given to the structure of water. The quality of drinking water in central Europe is essentially guaranteed by the regulations which govern the treatment of drinking water. In this way, assurance is sought that in the number one fuel of human beings, no pathogenic germs are found in it, nor are there, furthermore, heavy metals or chemical substances above the limits laid down. In this way, all the regulations and measures are fulfilled, however, the point has not yet been reached of including the essential fact that the structure of water represents a decisive qualitative characteristic. This is due above all to the

fact that this characteristic is not yet measurable. For a long time, it has been known that certain curative spring waters may have antipyretic and digestive effects, are able heal skin, cure or sooth wounds, yet no regulations exist to cover this. Even in the so-called solid elements, structures have their role: so it is with, for example, diamond and graphite, both composed of carbon, only with different densities. Diamond is absolutely the hardest material, while graphite is soft.

The propertiesFollowing that line through to the element of water, it has been established that even water possesses an internal structure. Although the different structures do not change the “hardness” or even the density, as in the case of diamonds and graphite, upon this depend, amongst other things, how long it can be conserved and above all the microbiological properties of water depend in large measure on the internal structure. Two portions of chemically identical water may have different biological properties, which means that water may behave differently in one living organism than another, even though both contain the same substance. Therefore, it is not sufficient to evaluate water according to its chemistry and microbiology, but ways must be found to evaluate its structure. This is difficult because we are only at the first steps in reproducible methods of measurement. No known “western” textbook makes reference to the ability to memorise information. But even here, important changes are foreshadowed because, at the global level, interest is focusing in an increasing way on the physics of water: a committee of experts from the World Health Organisation, WHO, has been concerned for some time about the issue of the structure of water. And efforts are already underway to at least include the term, “structure of water,” in WHO’s international regulations for drinking water.

J. GranderThe term “vitalisation of water” has become, in the meantime a much cited concept, often misrepresented and sometimes, unfortunately, even abused. But what is the origin of this expression? It was the same Johann Grander who called his procedure “vitalisation of water, ” after having established that modifications in its behaviour duly occurred as soon as water was treated with this method. To be better able to describe the meaning and origin of this expression, it is important to look further into the activities of Johann Grander.Following an extremely severe winter and the hard physical activity in which he was engaged, Johann Grander suffered chronic inflammation of the joints. Surgical intervention seemed to be the only solution. In the phase of preparation before the intervention, Johann Grander remembered the so-called rolling massage invented by his father. He thus began to use it. This rolling massage was similar to a dynamo, and by rubbing it against the skin, it produced sharp, intense electrical impulses that could be adjusted, and which stimulated the parts of the body being treated, reinforcing and improving the vascular supply. A similar piece of equipment today might be defined as a device for electrical stimulation massage. Following the treatment, Johann Grander’s state of health improved remarkably, to the point that the surgical intervention became unnecessary. This fundamental experience provided Johann Grander with the stimulus to further develop and improve the invention of his father. The “secret” of the efficacy was in the choice of entirely special magnets, finished with an alloy which enabled them to transmit extraordinary energies. In his thinking, however, Johann Grander was already one step ahead. The question that occupied him the most regarded

the possibility of creating an energy that was entirely harmless for human beings, even in direct contact, and yet able to work normal electrical appliances. So it was than within ten years, Johann Grander developed ten “magnet generators” of varying construction, able to produce energy at a frequency such that, even in touching the poles without insulation, these would not present any danger. The half-way point, therefore, had in fact been reached. The generators, made with “natural magnets,” supplied completely harmless energy. That notwithstanding, putting the generators into production was scuppered by the refusal of the patents’ office to register the product. The projects submitted were rejected on the grounds that “products not having the character of novelty may not be patented,” since the innovation brought to the task by Grander’s magnets was not taken into account. After the initial, brief disappointment, Johann Grander soon learned how to perceive in this experience a positive stimulus towards a new direction. From the experiments carried out during his research activities, it was always clear that the transformation of energy worked both in water and underwater, and that the water in its turn developed particular qualities. With the passing of time, it became ever more apparent to him that the refusal from the patents’ office was in reality nothing other than an invitation to concentrate more intensely on this element of water. So it was that Johann Grander began to study water, linking it with the magnet generators he had developed. The greater part of his discoveries were the fruit of intuition and observation of nature. But at this point, mention must be made of a precious collaborator and indomitable critic, given that this character’s instinct was a great deal superior to that of humans, and that was Grander’s cat. It was precisely the unusual behaviour of the animal that attracted Johann Grander’s attention to “vitalised” water. Indeed, in order to slake its thirst, the cat exclusively chose this water. Grander understood that the combination of his generators and the water gave rise to something “special.” During his experiments, he discovered that the qualities and the information that he could transmit to water were also transferable to other water, without any direct contact. The microscope, for J. Grander, was the most important instrument for learning about water. Hundreds of samples of water, from all around the world, (the Nile, the Po and the Ganges and innumerable other sources), were to be found in his “study,” analysed by him under the microscope with the intention of discovering how the diverse bodies of the earth behaved. If polluted water were treated with his procedure, it began to regenerate itself once again. Beneficial micro-organism were able to develop once more and become active. It was thanks to this discovery that Johann Grander coined the concept of the “vitalisation of water.” In recognition of his research, Grander was awarded, in 2000, the “Silver Medal of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences,” and, in 2001, by the Austrian Republic, the “Austrian Cross of Honour for Science and Art.”Today, this knowledge has been exploited successfully in Grander’s apparatus for the vitalisation of water. How exactly the principle of vitalisation functions is a well-guarded secret by the Grander family; it remains however the fact that it depends on many factors, elaborated over a long and rewarding research activity.

Grander technologyis a technology based on the transmission of information. The equipment known as “water revitalisers“ have within them chambers filled with “information water.” The oscillations (information) of the information water are transmitted to the water that passes

through the equipment without there being an contact with the “information water.” It is therefore not the energy itself being transmitted but the information. The water network, which in the wake of diverse environmental influences, but also because of environmental and electromagnetic pollution, had lost its energy, becomes “vitalised.” In vitalised water, a particularly strong structure is formed such as to make it resistant to outside agents and thus capable of regenerating itself by reconstructing its own, authentic memory. Nothing is either added or subtracted to the water. According to Johann Grander, the properties of vitalised water - with entirely positive effects for humans, animals and plantsare transferrable to all other water:

Increased self-purifying power; •Greater dissolving power; •Improved microbiological behaviour; •Greater stability even following microbiological changes; •Improved organoleptic characteristics; freshness, taste, odour; •Beneficial ecological and environmental impact; •

Applications The applications and examples of the effectiveness of the Grander method are today innumerable, from agriculture and hygiene to the dairy industry, with some unexpected confirmation. Studies carried out on the maturation of cheeses produced using water treated with the Grander method display more homogenous and constant acidity development curves, while studies into the cultivation of plants using vitalised water have shown that it is possible to obtain plants with greater vigour and productive yield, as well as a higher standard in secondary components.

BACKGROUND

Extraction by Ultrasound

Concentrated water extracts: extractive techniquesand methodology

EXTRACTION METHOD: UltrasoundSOLVENT USED: Vitalised water CONSERVATIVES: NoneEXTRACTION TIME: Around 4 hoursTEMPERATURE OF EXTRACTION: Room Temperature

Preparation methodThe plant, or mixture of plants, that are certified to be in conformity with the Ministerial Decree of August 27th, 2004, and the requirements of the Official Pharmacopoeia of the Republic (“plant medicines: general provisions” section), are placed inside the extractor with vitalised water solvent and are subject to vigorous agitation for at least 2 hours.

Ultrasound generators controlling the frequency are activated and the time of the extraction is based on the type and characteristics of the plant. Ultrasound is made up of sound waves of a higher frequency than the highest that are, on average, audible to the human ear (around 20 Khz) which allow the rapid and complete lysis of the cell walls. Extraction takes places thanks to the creation of stretching forces which work to mechanically break down and disrupt the cell walls, encouraging the release of the materials of the cytoplasm/vacuolar essences. The reduction of the particles subject to the ultrasonic cavitation increases in a significant way the solid/liquid contact surfaces. The mechanical action carried out by ultrasound increases the spread of the solvent in the tissues and breaks the cell walls by force of cavitation and stretching.

The physical phenomenon which explain the operation of ultrasound are three:• Increase in the kinetic energy of the molecules which are found within the solid matrix • Increase in the velocity of the spread of the substances extracted in the entire mass of the extracting liquid in such a way as to avoid zones of over-saturation in proximity with the solid to be extracted. • Cavitation: repeated creation of micro-bubbles within a liquid, followed by their implosion.

The use of ultrasound allows the complete extraction of all the active ingredients of the plant (these being the water and fat soluble ingredients, essential oils, mineral salts, amino acids, oligonucleotide elements or vitamins) without the use of heat or organic solvents, thus preserving the integrity of the phytocomplex which is entirely transferred to the water.

Once the extraction process has terminated, the spent plants are pressed and eliminated by means of centrifugation and filtration, obtaining the extractive solution.

This technology makes it possible to obtain products that are complete with all the physiological and organoleptic properties, in addition to all their active ingredients, both primary and secondary. The advantages obtained through extraction by ultrasound may be summarised in three fundamental points: • total extraction at room temperature, no greater than 35°C; this avoids the denaturation of the active ingredients contained therein, which in this way remain intact. • minimum contact time between the medicine and extraction liquid used; this reduces to a minimum the possibility of any accidental pollution in the phytoextracts finally obtained. • Breaking down of the bacterial load, thanks to the natural action of disintegration of the bacterial cells performed by the ultrasound.

Vitalised waterThe mature water that gushes from the rocks is channelled for supply and distribution, undergoing damage caused by various phenomenon, including the pressure of the piping, channelling and the emission of chemical substances and heavy metals. With the procedure of vitalisation of water according to Johann Grander, based above all on the combination of diverse magnetic waves, restores the water to a state of having a greater number of oscillations, in such a way as to compensate for the loss of energy and information, with the water regaining its original memory, that is, of spring water.The process used by us is able to create vitalised water. The products created using vitalised water have the following advantages:• Greater stability even following microbiological changes• Improved organoleptic characteristics; freshness, taste, odour;• Improved conservation • Greater softness and tolerability on the skin• Beneficial ecological and environmental impact;

Adaptogens

EchinaceaEchinacea angustifolia

Family: Compositae

Synonym: rudbeckia, purple coneflower.

Part used: the roots.

Popular and herbalist tradition: Echinacea is an adaptogenic plant that improves the resistance of the organism to external attacks by stimulating the immune system. Originally from the western North American plains, Echinacea is traditionally used for its properties of stimulating the immune system. Native Americans used echinacea for its properties of purifying the blood and for the treatment of numerous conditions: infections, wounds, eczema, rheumatism, syphilis, haemorrhoids and also as a general painkiller. At the beginning of the 20th century, European and American herbalists used this plant to treat viper bits and certain infectious illnesses such as typhoid and diptheria. In the twenties, it lost popularity with the arrival of synthetic drugs, nevertheless today it is one of the most widely used remedies for reinforcing the natural defences of the organism, especially against seasonal indispositions such as colds, influenza, coughs and seasonal allergies.

Principle ingredients: polyphenic compounds derived from caffeic acid: echinacoside, chicory acid, chlorogenic acid. Essential oil: polyacetylene compounds, N-isobutylamide Polysaccharides of high molecular weight.

Activity: adaptogen with immuno-stimulant characteristics, generally indicated for problems linked to winter ailments, a tonic.

EleuterococcusAcanthopanax senticosus Maxim

Family: Araliaceae

Synonyms: Siberian ginseng, devil’s stick.

Part used: rhyzome and roots.

Popular and herbalist tradition: the botanic name of the family of eleuterococcus is “Acantopanax” where: Acanto means “thorny” - Panax means “panacea.” The modern story of this plant begins with Brekham, in the forties, who, in the course of research to find an alternative to ginseng, discovered that eleuterococcus offered many of the benefits of the very famous Chinese and Korean product. Later research by Soviet and Chinese scientists has shown that eleuterococcus is a tonic-adaptogen with peculiar characteristics often even greater than those of the Chinese root (for example, at the level of the immune system). It is still well known for its use to aid the performance of the Russian athletes at the Moscow Olympics and for cosmonauts during long periods in space. Eleuterococcus is traditionally indicated as a tonic to reinforce the body during exertions and as a remedy against debilitation and the tendency of diminished working capacity and concentration, and during convalescence. It possesses a general action of stimulating the immune system.

Principle ingredients: eleuterosides, polysaccharides, phenolic compounds (coumarins, lignans, phenilpropans).

Activity: adaptogen, anti-asthenic, anti-stress, tonic.

HawthornCrataegus oxyacantha

Family: Rosaceae.

Synonyms: hawthorn, bossolin, spinapulce, calaringhe.

Parts used: flowers and leaves.

Popular and herbalist tradition: used in Europe since the Middle Ages, popular medicine indicates hawthorn as a sedative remedy for the Central Nervous System and it is recommended for heart and circulation disturbances. Western herbalists consider it to be “food for the heart” because it increases the flow of blood to the heart and regulates its beat. Moreover, it is present in various medicinal preparations against insomnia and nervous conditions. Hawthorn displays a recognised sedative and muscle relaxant action which makes it particularly indicated for states of stress and anxiety. It has been demonstrated that its administration brings a calming effect on the central nervous system, being especially indicated in cases of sleep disturbances and in conditions characterised by excessive emotionality and anxiety, in stress and in the menopause. It has also been confirmed that the plant contributes to the elimination of the emotional elements of certain states of hypertension. The studies carried out reveal an important action on the cardiovascular system with a real improvement in resistance to exertion.

Principle ingredients: flavonoids including hyperosid and vitexin, triterpenoid compounds including ursolic acid, amine, sterols; tannin and purine derivatives.

Activities: invigorating, antidiarrhoeal, hypotensive and cardiotonic.

SchisandraSchisandra chinensis

Famiglia: Schisandraceae.

Synonyms: Wu Wei Zi, Schizandra japonica.

Parts used: the fruit.

Popular and herbalist tradition: It is a deciduous and evergreen climber, of great development, with scented flowers and fruit similar to berries, widespread in eastern Asia and eastern North America, and introduced in the gardens of the West around 1850. The name Schisandra derives from the Greek, skhisis, “separation, fissure” and andros, “male,” referring to the garish dehiscence of the two anther pods. The Chinese name, “Wu Wei Zi” means “plant with 5 flavours” because, according to the system of traditional Chinese medicine, this plant contains all the flavours that regulate the effects of food on the body. Representative experiments showing the adaptogen action of Schisandra were conducted in the Soviet Union with volunteers from various professions; fighter pilots, wireless operators, athletes and intellectuals. The results were extremely positive with an improvement in performance, both physical and intellectual, with greater clarity of action and greater resistance to fatigue.

Principle ingredients: active schisandrina (methyl ester of polyphenols) Adaptogen: lignans (7% to 19.2%); sugars; tannins; essential oil; organic acids (citric acid and tartaric acid); vitamins (vitamins C and E); minerals (copper, manganese); micro elements (nickel, zink, traces of titanium and silver).

Activities: detoxicant, tonic, astringent, adaptogen, stimulant, hepatoprotective antioxidant.

RodiolaRhodiola rosea

Family: Crassulaceae.

Part used: the roots.

Synonyms: golden root.

Part used: the roots.

Popular and herbalist tradition: traditionally used in Nordic countries to increase physical resistance and immunity, and longevity of the individual, Rhodiola has an almost legendary history. In Siberia, roots are administered to couples before marriage to promote the birth of healthy children. Rhodiola, believed to be a powerful stimulant, was used in the formulation of various love potions; the Ukrainian prince, Galitsky, who lived in the 13th century, boasted of being a great lover thanks to the roots of Rhodiola. For many centuries, Chinese emperors, who used the root to treat many different disturbances and illnesses, sent expeditions to eastern Siberia in search of the area where Rhodiola grew spontaneously. The first scientific studies on Rodiola date back to the first half of the last century, when groups of Russian scientists began to observe the effects of this plant; it was only in the early years of the sixties that information about the benefits and properties of Rhodiola was made public in the western world.

Principle ingredients: glycosidic phenolic compounds (rosavin, rosin, rosarin, salidoris), organic acids (oxalic, citric, malic, succinic, gallic), monoterpenes, beta-sitosterol, essential oils, mineral salts.

Activities: adaptogen, anti-stress, useful in the control of body weight when associated with a balanced diet. Improves the concentraton, lucidity and mnemonic potential; indicated in the treatment of asthenia, depression, apathy, stress, muscular weakness and to optimise sporting performance by reducing the duration of the recovery phase.

FRUITS

PomegranatePunica granatum

a precious concentrate of antioxidant substances (polyphenols derived from ellagic acid), organic acids, minerals (calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, copper and sulphur), vitamins (robiflavin, thiamine, vitamin B6, niacin, pantothenic acid, beta-carotene). The juice of the pomegranate combines recognised antioxidant, re-mineralising and vitamin properties with a pleasurable and refreshing taste.

GrapefruitCitrus grandis

Rich in flavonoids, pectins, vitamins of group B, vitamin C, pantothenic acid and organic acids, it possesses the organoleptic and nutritional qualities of citrus fruit.

MangosteenGarcinia mangostana

Garcinia mangostana, commonly known by the name, Mangosteen, is a typical fruit from the vast area of South-East Asia, belonging to the family of the Guttifere, and widespread in countries like Thailand, India, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines, but also Australia and Hawaii. The benefits of this fruit with its pleasurably acidic flavour have recently been brought to light by studies that have revealed its marked antioxidant and immuno-modulating action.

RowanSorbus aucuparia

The name “aucuparia” (from the Latin, aiucupium: fowling) derives from the fact that, the berries being much loved by small migratory birds, it was traditionally used in traps in hunting such prey. Dried service tree fruit (also called sorb or whitty pear), in the past, was mixed with flour to enrich the bread at times of scarcity. Containing derivatives of parasorbic acid which determines the natural antifungal and anti-bacterial actions.

Functionalizing

Spirea UlmariaSpiraea Ulmaria

Herbalist/popular tradition: in the Middle Ages, Spirea Ulmaria was a favourite common herb. Gerard wrote in his Herball (1597) that the “odour from this source makes the heart happy and joyous and delights the senses.” The salicylic acid isolated from the plant was synthesised for the first time in 1890 and used to create aspirin. It was moreover one of the herbs most sacred to the Druids, but it is not known whether it was also used as a medicine. For a long time, it was a popular remedy in many parts of Europe. Nicholas Culpeper wrote in 1652 that “boiled in wine, it quickly helps those with the colic and stops diarrhoea.” Used for gastric problems and inflammatory pathologies like arthritis.

Activities: analgesic, antacid, anti-inflammatory, light urinary antiseptic, anti-ulcerogenic, astringent.

Neutralising action: combats gastric hyperacidity. A decoction of flowers of Dropwort (1:10; 1:20) have a demonstrated preventative activity on ulcers caused by ulcerogenic agents such as aspirins and ethanol, and reduced the ulcerogenic effect of the pylorus ligament.

Anti-inflammatory action: the phenolic glycosides such as salicin possess the anti-inflammatory effects typical of the salicylates. The content, derived from salicylic acid and flavonoids, therefore supports the observed anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antispasmodic and antibacterial effects of the medicine. It has a remarkable action as a diuretic, favouring the retention of water and the formation of fatty accumulations.

Principle ingredients: flavonoid glucosides: quercetin, spiraosides (quercetin-4’-glucoside), kempferolo; phenolic glycosides (salicylates), salicilaldeide, polyphenols (tannins) spiraoside (quercetin-4’-glucoside).

Flavonoids: spiroside, rutin, iperoside, avicularina. III. Polyphenols: especially tannins.IV. Chalcones, Phenylcarboxylic acid, ascorbic acid.V.

Indications: ulmaria, commonly known as Meadowsweet, is one of the anti-inflammatory and analgesic remedies most delicate on the gastric mucous and is often used in the treatment of painful inflammatory complaints such as rheumatic pain, headaches and toothache. Also used as a depurative.

PineappleAnanas Sativus

Herbalist/popular tradition: discovered by colonists of the American tropics, it was almost immediately introduced in Europe, but given the difficulties and length of early ocean crossings, it was only in 1733 that the growth of the first pineapple fruit was celebrated in old Europe. Cultivation in Italy began in Naples, then in the important greenhouse of Villa Reale of Monza, under Umberto I. From there, it spread to the greenhouses of Lombardy and Piedmont, Veneto and Tuscany.

Actions: the bromeline contained in the pineapple was the first proteolytic protein (that is, capable of breaking down proteins) identified. This enzyme has the capacity of breaking down in a few minutes the equivalent in protein of 1,000 times its weight. It has a vigorous anti-edematous power. The activity of bromeline in combatting the inflammatory processes has been known and studied for a long time; today, nevertheless, no unequivocal mechanism of the action is known. Various studies have shown it provides support in cases of acute and chronic inflammation.

Principle ingredients: nitrogenous substance, citric acid, Bromeline.

Indications: edamatous manifestations, inflammatory states, auxiliary disinfiltration in the treatment of cellulite.

Garcinia mangostana, commonly known by the name, Mangosteen, is a typical fruit from the vast area of South-East Asia, belonging to the family of the Guttifere, and widespread in countries like Thailand, India, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines, but also Australia and Hawaii. The benefits of this fruit with its pleasurably acidic flavour have recently been brought to light by studies that have revealed its marked antioxidant and immuno-modulating action.

RowanSorbus aucuparia

The name “aucuparia” (from the Latin, aiucupium: fowling) derives from the fact that, the berries being much loved by small migratory birds, it was traditionally used in traps in hunting such prey. Dried service tree fruit (also called sorb or whitty pear), in the past, was mixed with flour to enrich the bread at times of scarcity. Containing derivatives of parasorbic acid which determines the natural antifungal and anti-bacterial actions.

Royal jelly

Royal Jelly is one of the five products of a beehive, along with honey, pollen, propolis and wax. It is a straw-coloured gelatinous substance, with a very concentrated, acidic taste and which is produced by young bees aged between 5 and 14 days. Royal jelly represents the exclusive food of all the larvae up to the second day of life; from the third day, the ordinary larvae are fed on honey and pollen while the larva destined to become the queen bee will continue to feed for their entire life on this noble substance. It is precisely the nutrition at the base on this jelly that is the secret of the extraordinary longevity of the queen bee, which lives for 4/5 years as opposed to the 40/45 days or 4/5 months in winter of a normal worker bee.Royal jelly was ignored for a long time by the scientific world and only in the 17th century did the Dutch scientist Swammerdam mention it for the first time in his “Bible of Nature.” In the late 18th century, the term “royal jelly” was coined and its use to feed larvae and the queen bee was observed. The term “royal jelly” is in common use in many foreign countries (gelatina reale, gelée royale, jalea real etc….) while in Italy for the moment the term “pappa reale“ continues to be preferred. Considered one of the most complete natural foods, it contains water (65%), proteins (12%), carbohydrates (15%), fat (5%) and other substances such as amino acids, vitamins (group B, in particular B5, vitamins A, C, D) minerals and mineral salts (sodium, chrome, manganese, nickel, phosphorous, copper, sulphur, selenium, calcium, iron, potassium and silicone).The richness of its composition is responsible for the tonic and energy-giving action, useful in cases of asthenia, physical and mental fatigue.

AlfalfaMedicago sativa

For millennia, Alfalfa has been the secret of the longevity of certain animals due to the high content of nutrients. Thanks to its richness in protein (18%, 5% higher than eggs and 15% higher than milk), vitamins, minerals, amino acids and mineral salts, it is greatly prized for its nutritional and re-mineralising properties. Today, various activities are attributed to this medicinal herb. Since it is rich in vitamins and minerals, it is a restorative and preventive remedy. It stimulates the appetite, above all in children, and is useful for convalescence, anaemia, haemorrhage and osteoporosis. It strengthens finger nails and hair. Being rich in amino acids (the basis for the building of proteins in the organism) has a natural anabolic action. It helps prevent premature ageing, arteriosclerosis, moreover the use of this plant in osteoporosis as a remineralizer is suggested by the presence of phytoestrogens (cumestrol) and mineral salts: Ca, P, Fe, Zn, Cu, Se, Si. It has a tonic activity, above all at the sexual level. It increases resistance to illness. It regulates female hormone production. It has an anti-haemorrhage activity thanks to the presence of natural vitamin K.

EchinaceaEchinacea angustifolia

Family: Compositae

Synonym: rudbeckia, purple coneflower.

Part used: the roots.

Popular and herbalist tradition: Echinacea is an adaptogenic plant that improves the resistance of the organism to external attacks by stimulating the immune system. Originally from the western North American plains, Echinacea is traditionally used for its properties of stimulating the immune system. Native Americans used echinacea for its properties of purifying the blood and for the treatment of numerous conditions: infections, wounds, eczema, rheumatism, syphilis, haemorrhoids and also as a general painkiller. At the beginning of the 20th century, European and American herbalists used this plant to treat viper bits and certain infectious illnesses such as typhoid and diptheria. In the twenties, it lost popularity with the arrival of synthetic drugs, nevertheless today it is one of the most widely used remedies for reinforcing the natural defences of the organism, especially against seasonal indispositions such as colds, influenza, coughs and seasonal allergies.

Principle ingredients: polyphenic compounds derived from caffeic acid: echinacoside, chicory acid, chlorogenic acid. Essential oil: polyacetylene compounds, N-isobutylamide Polysaccharides of high molecular weight.

EleuterococcusAcanthopanax senticosus Maxim

Family: Araliacee

Synonyms: Siberian ginseng, devil’s stick.

Part used: rhyzome and roots.

Popular and herbalist tradition: the botanic name of the family of eleuterococcus is “Acantopanax” where: Acanto means “thorny” - Panax means “panacea.” The modern story of this plant begins with Brekham, in the forties, who, in the course of research to find an alternative to ginseng, discovered that eleuterococcus offered many of the benefits of the very famous Chinese and Korean product. Later research by Soviet and Chinese scientists has shown that eleuterococcus is a tonic-adaptogen with peculiar characteristics often even greater than those of the Chinese root (for example, at the level of the immune system). It is still well known for its use to aid the performance of the Russian athletes at the Moscow Olympics and for cosmonauts during long periods in space. Eleuterococcus is traditionally indicated as a tonic to reinforce the body during exertions and as a remedy against debilitation and the tendency of diminished working capacity and concentration, and during convalescence. It possesses a general action of stimulating the immune system.

Principle ingredients: eleuterosides, polysaccharides, phenolic compounds (coumarins, lignans, phenilpropans).

Activity: adaptogen, anti-asthenic, anti-stress, tonic.

HawthornCrataegus oxyacantha

Family: Rosaceae.

Synonyms: hawthorn, bossolin, spinapulce, calaringhe.

Parts used: flowers and leaves.

Popular and herbalist tradition: used in Europe since the Middle Ages, popular medicine indicates hawthorn as a sedative remedy for the Central Nervous System and it is recommended for heart and circulation disturbances. Western herbalists consider it to be “food for the heart” because it increases the flow of blood to the heart and regulates its beat. Moreover, it is present in various medicinal preparations against insomnia and nervous conditions. Hawthorn displays a recognised sedative and muscle relaxant action which makes it particularly indicated for states of stress and anxiety. It has been demonstrated that its administration brings a calming effect on the central nervous system, being especially indicated in cases of sleep disturbances and in conditions characterised by excessive emotionality and anxiety, in stress and in the menopause. It has also been confirmed that the plant contributes to the elimination of the emotional elements of certain states of hypertension. The studies carried out reveal an important action on the cardiovascular system with a real improvement in resistance to exertion.

Principle ingredients: flavonoids including hyperosid and vitexin, triterpenoid compounds including ursolic acid, amine, sterols; tannin and purine derivatives.

SchisandraSchisandra chinensis

Famiglia: Schisandraceae.

Synonyms: Wu Wei Zi, Schizandra japonica.

Parts used: the fruit.

Popular and herbalist tradition: It is a deciduous and evergreen climber, of great development, with scented flowers and fruit similar to berries, widespread in eastern Asia and eastern North America, and introduced in the gardens of the West around 1850. The name Schisandra derives from the Greek, skhisis, “separation, fissure” and andros, “male,” referring to the garish dehiscence of the two anther pods. The Chinese name, “Wu Wei Zi” means “plant with 5 flavours” because, according to the system of traditional Chinese medicine, this plant contains all the flavours that regulate the effects of food on the body. Representative experiments showing the adaptogen action of Schisandra were conducted in the Soviet Union with volunteers from various professions; fighter pilots, wireless operators, athletes and intellectuals. The results were extremely positive with an improvement in performance, both physical and intellectual, with greater clarity of action and greater resistance to fatigue.

Principle ingredients: active schisandrina (methyl ester of polyphenols).

RhodiolaRhodiola rosea

Family: Crassulaceae.

Part used: the roots.

Synonyms: golden root.

Part used: the roots.

Popular and herbalist tradition: traditionally used in Nordic countries to increase physical resistance and immunity, and longevity of the individual, Rhodiola has an almost legendary history. In Siberia, roots are administered to couples before marriage to promote the birth of healthy children. Rhodiola, believed to be a powerful stimulant, was used in the formulation of various love potions; the Ukrainian prince, Galitsky, who lived in the 13th century, boasted of being a great lover thanks to the roots of Rhodiola. For many centuries, Chinese emperors, who used the root to treat many different disturbances and illnesses, sent expeditions to eastern Siberia in search of the area where Rhodiola grew spontaneously. The first scientific studies on Rodiola date back to the first half of the last century, when groups of Russian scientists began to observe the effects of this plant; it was only in the early years of the sixties that information about the benefits and properties of Rhodiola was made public in the western world.

Principle ingredients: glycosidic phenolic compounds (rosavin, rosin, rosarin, salidoris), organic acids (oxalic, citric, malic, succinic, gallic), monoterpenes, beta-sitosterol, essential oils, mineral salts.

CurcumaCurcuma longa

The term OXIDATIVE STRESS refers to changes in the normal intracellular balance between oxidising substances, produced physiologically during the metabolic processes, and the anti-oxidant defence system that carries out the function of neutralising them [Sies (1985)]. The anti-oxidant system comprises enzymatic mechanisms and nonenzymatic mechanisms. Among the former are the superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione. Among the nonenzymatic substances are Vitamans E and C, the carotenoids, polyphens, antocianins etc. The main sorts of oxidants are the free radicals, substances derived from molecular oxygen, characterised by the presence of uncoupled electrons. The reactive types of oxygen (ROS), such as H2O2, the OH° and O° radicals, under normal conditions, carry out important physiological functions by intervening in the processes of the growth and deaths of cells in the inflammatory responses, but can also cause major cell damage; the balance between the physiological functions and damage is determined by the respective ratio between production and removal of the ROS. Normally, these types are rapidly removed before they can cause cellular dysfunction and eventual death. Numerous physiological and pathological processes (inflammation, infections, carcinogenesis, ageing, vitamin deficiency, metabolism problems) and similarly environmental factors may throw out of balance the production of oxidising substances and compromise the system of anti-oxidant defence and compromise the main cellular components of response such as fats, proteins, carbohydrates and DNA, with all the functions connected to them. In addition to the normal biochemical reactions of cellular oxidation, the following contribute to the formation of free radicals:

certain dysfunctions and pathological conditions. 1. the reduction of the carrying of blood to the tissue; 2. diets too rich in proteins and saturated animal fats; 3. non-tolerated foodstuffs; 4. excess of iron which, in the early phase of the transformation, the cause of 5. the liberation of the radical hydroxyl from hydrogen peroxide; the action of gas pollution and toxic substances in general (carbon 6. monoxide, heavy metals, hydrocarbons);

cigarette smoke; 7. excess alcohol; 8. ionizing radiation and solar radiation (excessive ozone and UVA and UVB 9. rays). 9. Solar radiation induces in the skin processes of photo-oxidation which degrade the polyunsaturated fatty acids of the cellular membrane with the consequent formation of free radicals;certain pharmaceuticals; 10. intense physical activity, both organic resistance and muscular force, cause 11. a notable increase in the reactions that use oxygen (increase in pulmonary breathing and the mitochondrial activities of the muscle cells etc.) and the consequent surplus of the formation of hydrogen peroxide.

This phenomenon has been closely associated with a series of human pathologies such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and neuro-degenerative diseases [Halliwell and Cross (1994); Bray (1999); Forsberg et al. (2001)]. The antioxidant substances restore the chemical balance of the free radicals thanks to the possibility of supplying them with the electrons they are lacking. The human organism naturally defends itself against free radicals by producing endogenous antioxidants such as the superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione. Beyond a certain threshold, a external supply of antioxidant is necessary The main ones are:

Plant pigments: polyphenols, bioflavonoids; •Vitamins: vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene (provitamin A); •Micronutrients and enzymes: selenium, copper, zinc glutathione, coenzyme •(Q10 etc)

Curcuma, together with its active ingredient curcumin, is one of the plants most studied in recent years for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects found at various levels. Curcuma is a root traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine. A US study showed that this root stops the growth of melanoma (a skin tumour) and promotes apoptosis (the death, that is, of the cancer cells): according to a report in the magazine “Cancer Research,” a group of New Jersey researchers have also proposed the use of the herb in treating prostate cancer. Curcumin is the main active ingredient of curcuma. Curcumin has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and has been shown to be useful in this way against problems such as arthritis, asthma and irritable bowel syndrome, and in pre-cancerous lesions in the mouth. Studies carried out on curcumin have shown its capacity to block in an extremely efficient manner the propagation of free radicals, limiting the damage to DNA, to the cellular structures and tissues.

SchisandraSchisandra chinensis

Famiglia: Schisandraceae.

Synonyms: Wu Wei Zi, Schizandra japonica.

Parts used: the fruit.

Popular and herbalist tradition: It is a deciduous and evergreen climber, of great development, with scented flowers and fruit similar to berries, widespread in eastern Asia and eastern North America, and introduced in the gardens of the West around 1850. The name Schisandra derives from the Greek, skhisis, “separation, fissure” and andros, “male,” referring to the garish dehiscence of the two anther pods. The Chinese name, “Wu Wei Zi” means “plant with 5 flavours” because, according to the system of traditional Chinese medicine, this plant contains all the flavours that regulate the effects of food on the body. Representative experiments showing the adaptogen action of Schisandra were conducted in the Soviet Union with volunteers from various professions; fighter pilots, wireless operators, athletes and intellectuals. The results were extremely positive with an improvement in performance, both physical and intellectual, with greater clarity of action and greater resistance to fatigue.

Principle ingredients: active schisandrina (methyl ester of polyphenols).

Adaptogen: lignans (7% to 19.2%); sugars; tannins; essential oil; organic acids (citric acid and tartaric acid); vitamins (vitamins C and E); minerals (copper, manganese); micro elements (nickel, zink, traces of titanium and silver).

Activities: detoxicant, tonic, astringent, adaptogen, stimulant, hepatoprotective antioxidant.

RhodiolaRhodiola rosea

Family: Crassulaceae.

Part used: the roots.

Synonyms: golden root.

Part used: the roots.

Popular and herbalist tradition: traditionally used in Nordic countries to increase physical resistance and immunity, and longevity of the individual, Rhodiola has an almost legendary history. In Siberia, roots are administered to couples before marriage to promote the birth of healthy children. Rhodiola, believed to be a powerful stimulant, was used in the formulation of various love potions; the Ukrainian prince, Galitsky, who lived in the 13th century, boasted of being a great lover thanks to the roots of Rhodiola. For many centuries, Chinese emperors, who used the root to treat many different disturbances and illnesses, sent expeditions to eastern Siberia in search of the area where Rhodiola grew spontaneously. The first scientific studies on Rodiola date back to the first half of the last century, when groups of Russian scientists began to observe the effects of this plant; it was only in the early years of the sixties that information about the benefits and properties of Rhodiola was made public in the western world.

Principle ingredients: glycosidic phenolic compounds (rosavin, rosin, rosarin, salidoris), organic acids (oxalic, citric, malic, succinic, gallic), monoterpenes, beta-sitosterol, essential oils, mineral salts.

Activities: adaptogen, anti-stress, useful in the control of body weight when associated with a balanced diet. Improves the concentration, lucidity and mnemonic potential; indicated in the treatment of asthenia, depression, apathy, stress, muscular weakness and to optimise sporting performance by reducing the duration of the recovery phase.

RowanSorbus aucuparia

The name “aucuparia” (from the Latin, aiucupium: fowling) derives from the fact that, the berries being much loved by small migratory birds, it was traditionally used in traps in hunting such prey. Dried service tree fruit (also called sorb or whitty pear), in the past, was mixed with flour to enrich the bread at times of scarcity. Containing derivatives of parasorbic acid which determines the natural antifungal and anti-bacterial actions.

GinsengPanax ginseng

Ginseng is the most famous of all the herbs in traditional Chinese medicine and the adaptogen for antomasia. The name, which in Chinese means “similar to man” (jen-shen), derives from the particular form of the root which looks like the human body, with a central tap-root from which spring little roots that suggest the idea of arms and legs, while the scientific name, Panax ginseng, could be derived from Panacea, the Greek god of healing. It grows spontaneously in the mountainous region between North Korea and Manchuria. It has been appreciated for its remarkable health benefits for around 7000 years and was so venerated that in the past wars were fought over control of the forests in which it grew. An Arab doctor brought Ginseng to Europe in the 9th century, but its capacity to improve vigour and resistance to stress became common knowledge in the West only in the 18th century.In popular Chinese medicine, it was widely used as a tonic and revitaliser to promote health and longevity. Various studies have been dedicated to the analysis of the active ingredients of Ginseng. In particular, in the fifties, numerous studies were conducted all over the world to determine whether the properties attributed to Panax Ginseng were legendary or real. Today, we have a sufficient quantity of research to maintain that Panax Ginseng possesses an action commensurate with its almost legendary fame.The best known action of this plant is that on the central nervous system, where a marked increase in electrical activity in the cells of the cerebral cortex can be observed. Ginseng is defined as a “psycho-tonic“ for its stimulating effect on the central nervous system, and a tonic. Indeed, it doesn’t only improve the organism from the physical point of view, but has a positive influence on states of depression, and improves efficiency and concentration. Interestingly, it is the strengthening effect of the ginsenosides on the action of the Nerve growth factor that brings an increase in the average life of the cortical neurones. Studies conducted on subjects treated with Ginseng displayed improved memories, greater capacity to learn, greater attentionand better moods.

EchinaceaEchinacea angustifolia

Family: Compositae

Synonym: rudbeckia, purple coneflower.

Part used: the roots.

Popular and herbalist tradition: Echinacea is an adaptogenic plant that improves the resistance of the organism to external attacks by stimulating the immune system. Originally from the western North American plains, Echinacea is traditionally used for its properties of stimulating the immune system. Native Americans used echinacea for its properties of purifying the blood and for the treatment of numerous conditions: infections, wounds, eczema, rheumatism, syphilis, haemorrhoids and also as a general painkiller. At the beginning of the 20th century, European and American herbalists used this plant to treat viper bits and certain infectious illnesses such as typhoid and diptheria. In the twenties, it lost popularity with the arrival of synthetic drugs, nevertheless today it is one of the most widely used remedies for reinforcing the natural defences of the organism, especially against seasonal indispositions such as colds, influenza, coughs and seasonal allergies.

Principle ingredients: polyphenic compounds derived from caffeic acid: echinacoside, chicory acid, chlorogenic acid. Essential oil: polyacetylene compounds, N-isobutylamide Polysaccharides of high molecular weight.

Activity: adaptogen with immuno-stimulant characteristics, generally indicated for problems linked to winter ailments, a tonic.

EleuterococcusAcanthopanax senticosus Maxim

Family: Araliacee

Synonyms: Siberian ginseng, devil’s stick.

Part used: rhyzome and roots.

Popular and herbalist tradition: the botanic name of the family of eleuterococcus is “Acantopanax” where: Acanto means “thorny” - Panax means “panacea.” The modern story of this plant begins with Brekham, in the forties, who, in the course of research to find an alternative to ginseng, discovered that eleuterococcus offered many of the benefits of the very famous Chinese and Korean product. Later research by Soviet and Chinese scientists has shown that eleuterococcus is a tonic-adaptogen with peculiar characteristics often even greater than those of the Chinese root (for example, at the level of the immune system). It is still well known for its use to aid the performance of the Russian athletes at the Moscow Olympics and for cosmonauts during long periods in space. Eleuterococcus is traditionally indicated as a tonic to reinforce the body during exertions and as a remedy against debilitation and the tendency of diminished working capacity and concentration, and during convalescence. It possesses a general action of stimulating the immune system.

Principle ingredients: eleuterosides, polysaccharides, phenolic compounds (coumarins, lignans, phenilpropans).

Activity: adaptogen, anti-asthenic, anti-stress, tonic.

HawthornCrataegus oxyacantha

Family: Rosaceae.

Synonyms: hawthorn, bossolin, spinapulce, calaringhe.

Parts used: flowers and leaves.

Popular and herbalist tradition: used in Europe since the Middle Ages, popular medicine indicates hawthorn as a sedative remedy for the Central Nervous System and it is recommended for heart and circulation disturbances. Western herbalists consider it to be “food for the heart” because it increases the flow of blood to the heart and regulates its beat. Moreover, it is present in various medicinal preparations against insomnia and nervous conditions. Hawthorn displays a recognised sedative and muscle relaxant action which makes it particularly indicated for states of stress and anxiety. It has been demonstrated that its administration brings a calming effect on the central nervous system, being especially indicated in cases of sleep disturbances and in conditions characterised by excessive emotionality and anxiety, in stress and in the menopause. It has also been confirmed that the plant contributes to the elimination of the emotional elements of certain states of hypertension. The studies carried out reveal an important action on the cardiovascular system with a real improvement in resistance to exertion.

Principle ingredients: flavonoids including hyperosid and vitexin, triterpenoid compounds including ursolic acid, amine, sterols; tannin and purine derivatives.

Nettle Urtica dioica

Nettle (urtica dioica L.) is a herbaceous annual or biennial plant equipped with stinging hairs belonging to the Urticaceae family typical of North America and Europe. The leaves contain polyphenols, potassium salts, salicilic acid, mineral salts and vitamins. The leaf extract is used traditionally for its diuretic effect, due to the presence of mineral salts and flavonoids, and its restorative effect. In popular medicine, nettle leaves are used for their “haematopoietic“ action. In the Urtica dioica leaves, high concentrations of mineral salts are present, in particular, potassium (21 mg/g), calcium (49 mg/g), magnesium (4.6 mg/g) and silicates. In addition, the following are present; organic acids; proteins (23-24% of the dried plant); free amino acids; ammines: flavonoids (glycosides of quercetin, kempferol and isoramnetina), coumarins (scopoletina) sitosterol, sitosterol-_-glycoside derivatives and stearyl; lignans, chlorophylls (chlorophyll A and B) and their degradation products, carotenoids (including beta-carotene and xanthophyll); vitamins (including, vitamin C, vitamins of group B, vitamin K); tannins. The high nutritional power of this plant makes it useful in cases of anaemia of conditions of debilitation. Studies carried out on the active ingredients of the class of lectins contained in this plant have shown that extracts containing lectins act on the specific activators of lymphocyte T, with an effect similar to that of other substances with immuno-stimulant actions.

Popular and herbalist tradition: the botanic name of the family of eleuterococcus is “Acantopanax” where: Acanto means “thorny” - Panax means “panacea.” The modern story of this plant begins with Brekham, in the forties, who, in the course of research to find an alternative to ginseng, discovered that eleuterococcus offered many of the benefits of the very famous Chinese and Korean product. Later research by Soviet and Chinese scientists has shown that eleuterococcus is a tonic-adaptogen with peculiar characteristics often even greater than those of the Chinese root (for example, at the level of the immune system). It is still well known for its use to aid the performance of the Russian athletes at the Moscow Olympics and for cosmonauts during long periods in space. Eleuterococcus is traditionally indicated as a tonic to reinforce the body during exertions and as a remedy against debilitation and the tendency of diminished working capacity and concentration, and during convalescence. It possesses a general action of stimulating the immune system.

Principle ingredients: eleuterosides, polysaccharides, phenolic compounds (coumarins, lignans, phenilpropans).

Activity: adaptogen, anti-asthenic, anti-stress, tonic.

HawthornCrataegus oxyacantha

Family: Rosaceae.

Synonyms: hawthorn, bossolin, spinapulce, calaringhe.

Parts used: flowers and leaves.

Popular and herbalist tradition: used in Europe since the Middle Ages, popular medicine indicates hawthorn as a sedative remedy for the Central Nervous System and it is recommended for heart and circulation disturbances. Western herbalists consider it to be “food for the heart” because it increases the flow of blood to the heart and regulates its beat. Moreover, it is present in various medicinal preparations against insomnia and nervous conditions. Hawthorn displays a recognised sedative and muscle relaxant action which makes it particularly indicated for states of stress and anxiety. It has been demonstrated that its administration brings a calming effect on the central nervous system, being especially indicated in cases of sleep disturbances and in conditions characterised by excessive emotionality and anxiety, in stress and in the menopause. It has also been confirmed that the plant contributes to the elimination of the emotional elements of certain states of hypertension. The studies carried out reveal an important action on the cardiovascular system with a real improvement in resistance to exertion.

Principle ingredients: flavonoids including hyperosid and vitexin, triterpenoid compounds including ursolic acid, amine, sterols; tannin and purine derivatives.

Activities: invigorating, antidiarrhoeal, hypotensive and cardiotonic.

SchisandraSchisandra chinensis

Famiglia: Schisandraceae.

Synonyms: Wu Wei Zi, Schizandra japonica.

Parts used: the fruit.

Popular and herbalist tradition: It is a deciduous and evergreen climber, of great development, with scented flowers and fruit similar to berries, widespread in eastern Asia and eastern North America, and introduced in the gardens of the West around 1850. The name Schisandra derives from the Greek, skhisis, “separation, fissure” and andros, “male,” referring to the garish dehiscence of the two anther pods. The Chinese name, “Wu Wei Zi” means “plant with 5 flavours” because, according to the system of traditional Chinese medicine, this plant contains all the flavours that regulate the effects of food on the body. Representative experiments showing the adaptogen action of Schisandra were conducted in the Soviet Union with volunteers from various professions; fighter pilots, wireless operators, athletes and intellectuals. The results were extremely positive with an improvement in performance, both physical and intellectual, with greater clarity of action and greater resistance to fatigue.

Principle ingredients: active schisandrina (methyl ester of polyphenols).

Adaptogen: lignans (7% to 19.2%); sugars; tannins; essential oil; organic acids (citric acid and tartaric acid); vitamins (vitamins C and E); minerals (copper, manganese); micro elements (nickel, zink, traces of titanium and silver).

Part used: the roots.

Synonyms: golden root.

Part used: the roots.

Popular and herbalist tradition: traditionally used in Nordic countries to increase physical resistance and immunity, and longevity of the individual, Rhodiola has an almost legendary history. In Siberia, roots are administered to couples before marriage to promote the birth of healthy children. Rhodiola, believed to be a powerful stimulant, was used in the formulation of various love potions; the Ukrainian prince, Galitsky, who lived in the 13th century, boasted of being a great lover thanks to the roots of Rhodiola. For many centuries, Chinese emperors, who used the root to treat many different disturbances and illnesses, sent expeditions to eastern Siberia in search of the area where Rhodiola grew spontaneously. The first scientific studies on Rodiola date back to the first half of the last century, when groups of Russian scientists began to observe the effects of this plant; it was only in the early years of the sixties that information about the benefits and properties of Rhodiola was made public in the western world.

Principle ingredients: glycosidic phenolic compounds (rosavin, rosin, rosarin, salidoris), organic acids (oxalic, citric, malic, succinic, gallic), monoterpenes, beta-sitosterol, essential oils, mineral salts.

Green TeaCamelia sinensis

The consumption of tea is second only in the world to that of water. Known since antiquity to the oriental peoples and cultivated from the most remote times, in China and Japan elaborate rituals have developed for the preparation of green tea. As well as being a very enjoyable drink, tea is also a medicinal plant of great interest, traditionally used in Chinese medicine as a stimulant, diuretic and intestinal astringent and in Ayurvedic medicine as an astringent, diaphoretic, digestive, nervous tonic, currently enjoying considerable attention for its characteristics as a stimulant, tonic and antioxidant.It has recently been observed that the use of the extracts obtained from the non-fermented parts of Green Tea determines an increase in basic energy expenditure. This thermogenic effect justifies the use of green tea in support of dietary regimes aimed at weight control.

GuaranàPaullinia cupana

Guarana (Paullinia cupana) is an evergreen climbing plant typical of South America and, in particular, of the Amazonian region. The seeds contain xanthinic derivatives, chiefly caffeine, as well as other compounds structurally similar to caffeine, such as theophylline and theobromine. In addition, polyphenols (catechin and epicatechin) are present. Indigenous Indians take guarana in powder form, diluted in water; they use it especially during ritual events to overcome fatigue and fasting during the hunt, and above all when they have to take important decisions, so that it inspires their creativity, harmony and peace. Paullinia cupana has an action similar to that of coffee, but it is more rich in tannin and caffeine (from 2 to 5 times). Guarana acts mostly on the central nervous system and the cardiovascular apparatus. At the cerebral level, it causes stimulation of the cells of the cerebral cortex with the result of increasing attention levels, memory, mental performance in general and diminishes the sensation of fatigue. The effect of Paullinia cupana seems to be linked to an increase in the availability of glucose for muscular activity.The use of Guarana stimulates the activity of the enzymes responsible for the mobilization of fats. That leads to an increase in lypolysis, with positive effects on the reduction of deposits of subcutaneous fat.

Part used: the roots.

Popular and herbalist tradition: Echinacea is an adaptogenic plant that improves the resistance of the organism to external attacks by stimulating the immune system. Originally from the western North American plains, Echinacea is traditionally used for its properties of stimulating the immune system. Native Americans used echinacea for its properties of purifying the blood and for the treatment of numerous conditions: infections, wounds, eczema, rheumatism, syphilis, haemorrhoids and also as a general painkiller. At the beginning of the 20th century, European and American herbalists used this plant to treat viper bits and certain infectious illnesses such as typhoid and diptheria. In the twenties, it lost popularity with the arrival of synthetic drugs, nevertheless today it is one of the most widely used remedies for reinforcing the natural defences of the organism, especially against seasonal indispositions such as colds, influenza, coughs and seasonal allergies.

Principle ingredients: polyphenic compounds derived from caffeic acid: echinacoside, chicory acid, chlorogenic acid. Essential oil: polyacetylene compounds, N-isobutylamide Polysaccharides of high molecular weight.

UncariaUncaria tomentosa

Large thorny liana, with a woody stalk, which grows in the pluvial forests of Central and South America, where it is known as “Uña de Gato” for the shape of the thorns. The bark (extracted from the root and stalk) is quite a useful popular remedy used by the indigenous Amazonian community as a restorative, immuno-stimulant and anti-rheumatic, in the treatment of gastritis and diarrhoea; the Ashaninka tribe in Peru seems to have a tradition stretching back centuries of the use of this plant. The active ingredients of Uncaria are very varied: oxidising alkaloids, triterpenes, sterols, procianidine and organic acids: the first are thought responsible for the immunostimulant and anti-inflammatory actions; the sterols helps in the anti-inflammatory action, while the polyphenols behave like antioxidants. It brings energy and acts with typically adaptogenic plants in cases of chronic fatigue, weakness and exhaustion.
