Devil’s Claw
Devil’s Claw
This herb, wild harvested from the Kahalari desert of Africa,
has been shown to exert significant anti-inflammatory and
analgesic action.
Who could benefit from this supplement? Those with
arthritis, rheumatism, fibromyalgia, joint and muscle
pain.
Phyto-Tech™ Devil’s Claw 1:4 provides 250 mg of
Devil’s Claw secondary tubers per 30 drops.
Devil’s claw (Harpagophytum procumbens) originates
from the Kalahari and Savannah desert regions of South
and Southeast Africa. The part used is the secondary
tubors. Currently, the major uses of devil’s claw are as an
anti-inflammatory and pain reliever for joint diseases,
back pain, and headache. Devil’s Claw enjoys wide-
spread popularity as a treatment for mild joint pain
throughout Europe. This use is supported by several clini-
cal studies.
Devil’s Claw also increases gastric digestive enzymes,
thus aiding in protein and fat digestion. It has been
known to help reduce cholesterol and uric acids in the
blood, which can lead to gout.
Dosage: 20-40 drops, 2-3 times per day or as needed
in juice or water. Best used long term (over 1 month con-
tinual use).

Digest Stim Complex
Digest Stim Complex
This formula promotes optimal digestive enzyme balance for
proper digestive function. It can be categorized as a bitter
digestive tonic.
Who can benefit from using this supplement? Those
who are deficient in digestive enzyme secretion or gastric
function. Helpful in cases of indigestion, gas, sluggish
bowels, bloating.
Phyto-Tech™ Digest Stim is available in a regular, and
an alcohol-free version. Most commonly, it is taken
before meals. It contains the following herbs: Gentian
Root, Fennel Seed, Oregon Grape Root, Ginger Root,
Licorice Root, Prickly Ash Bark, Blue Flag Root,
Peppermint Spirits, and Potassium Carbonate.
Phyto-Tech™ Digest Stim will stimulate the body to
secrete more digestive enzymes (HCl, bile, pancreatic
enzymes, pepsin, lipase, and saliva) which will enhance
digestion. This makes absorption more possible. This for-
mula actually makes the body secrete its own digestive
enzymes if deficient instead of taking digestive enzymes
by themselves. The goal is to get the body to function
normally and to not rely on external enzymes.
It can be used as needed for meals that cause indiges-
tion.
Phyto-Tech™ Digest Stim can be used as a tonic for
those with chronic indigestion, before or after a meal,
but is best when used before the meal.
Phyto-Tech™ Digest Stim also contains fennel and pep
permint to soothe digestive upset and keep the digestive
tract calm while digesting efficiently.
This formula can be especially helpful to the elderly,
where poor digestion is common.
Many herbalists recommend Phyto-Tech™ Digest Stim
for Candida albicans. Candida thrives in a digestive tract
that under secretes, thus becoming too alkaline (digestiv
pH is acidic, blood pH is alkaline). Phyto-Tech™ Digest
Stim is thought to increases HCl in the stomach, thus
keeping it very acidic which kills parasites, bacteria,
germs and keeps Candida in check. Insufficient digestive
enzymes result in leaky gut syndrome and the
candida/parasite/germ hypothesis that cannot be healed
without increasing digestive enzymes.
Contraindications: Pregnancy; Ulcers, Irritable Bowel
(Phyto-Tech™ Digest Stim may help or worsen this cond
tion—use caution)
Dosage: In general, it is best before a meal but can be
used afterward.
Daily use: 15-60 drops, 2-3 times per day or as neede
in juice or water. Use before or after meals.
Occasional use: 30-60 drops before or after meals that
create indigestion or digestive upset.

Dong Quai Root 1:3
Dong Quai Root 1:3
A highly regarded, well known Chinese herb widely used fo
various menstrual and menopausal problems.
Who migfht benefit from this supplement? Women suf
fering from various menstrual irregularities; women seek
ing to lessen the symptoms of menopause (hot flashes,
mood swings, irritability); women with premenstrual dis-
orders (PMS) to decrease the discomfort of cramps, slow
onset, dull ache, mood swings, bloating and irritability).
Phyto-Tech™ Dong Quai Root 1:3 contains Dong Quai
Root, Alcohol Pure Grain, Water Pure Deionized; 333
mg/ml.
Herbalists consider Dong Quai to be an estrogen syner
gist. It sensitizes the binding or absorption sites where
estrogen is absorbed into the body and will increase lev-
els of estrogen. In menopause where estrogen is decreas
ing, it helps satisfy the bodies craving and diminishes
symptoms. In PMS, Dong Quai accentuates the estrogen
phase or phase from menses to ovulation. It is especially
indicated for cycles longer than 28 days. It is contraindi-
cated for cycles less than 28 days, which is estrogen
excess (use Chaste Tree Berries here). Dong Quai will
help bring a longer cycle back to a 28-day cycle, help
bring on a crampy slow onset period and possibly help
alleviate a dry vagina.
Contraindications: Pregnancy; Menses that have a cycl
shorter than 28 days.
