Arnica Oil 1:6 Topical
Arnica Oil 1:6 Topical
A popular first-aid remedy for trauma, injuries.
Arnica is the pre-eminent remedy for trauma,
injuries, and accidents and is a common part of first
aid kits and home medicine cabinets. This topical oil is
massaged into painful tissue that has been traumatized
from an accident, athletic event and overexertion.
Massage Therapists and Chiropractors commonly use
arnica oil on muscle and joints that are problematic in
order to disburse congested fluids in a painful area.
It is thought that Arnica works as a fluid transport
stimulating herb. It moves interstitual fluids through
ischemic tissue. Ischemic tissue is tissue that has dimin-
ished oxygen content because of restricted blood and
fluid flow. This action by Arnica on the painful tissue
helps it heal and stop the pain cycle. As a result of the
increased circulation, cellular waste is removed, bruis-
es clear up, pain diminishes, tissue heals, tissue oxy-
genates and recovery time is significantly reduced.
Athletes find arnica reduces potential for injury,
reduces recovery time from injury and bruising.
Arnica Topical Oil is great for the daily bumps and
bruises inevitable in life and especially childhood. It is
safe for kids.
Phyto-Tech™ Arnica Oil 1:6 Topical contains the fol-
lowing: Arnica montana Flowers (Wild Harvested),
Sage Essential Oil, Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Olive Oil,
Note: First extracted in alcohol and oil to maximize
potency, then the alcohol is removed.
Special Note: Most Arnica on the market is
“Mexican” Arnica. This is commonly Heterothica inu-
loides, an adulterant and is not true Arnica. The
Vitality Works Arnica products are made from the true
European Arnica montana.
Cautions: Do not apply to open wounds, ulcerations
or on areas prone to bleeding; Do not take internally;
Discontinue use if very sensitive skin results in a rash.
Complimentary Formulas and Single Herbs:
Phyto-Tech™ MuscleGesic, an oral formula for mus-
cle and general body pain, inflammation
Phyto-Tech™ Comfrey Root 1:3 (to promote healing
of breaks, fractures, sprains, cuts, lesions)
Phyto-Tech™ Valerian Root 1:2 (for severe pain)
Phyto-Tech™ St. John’s Wort 1:2 (if nerves are very
sensitive or painful)
Dosage: Massage into effected areas as needed.
Repeat 2-3 times per day or as needed.
Arnica works best if applied in full concentration to
the problematic area. It is less effective if applied all
over the body as massage oil. Use a different oil for a
massage (i.e. almond oil) and arnica on the painful
area.

Ashwagandha Root
Ashwagandha Root
Known as “Ayurvedic Ginseng,” Ashwagandha
supports stamina, endurance, and energy.
Who would benefit from this supplement? Those suf-
fering from fatigue, stress, immune system problems,
chronic fatigue syndrome, recovery from illness and
auto-immune disorders. Ashwagandha is an adapto-
genic herb, similar to ginseng, but it is less heating,
“yang” or simulating than Panax ginseng.
Ashwagandha is known as the “Ayurvedic” Ginseng.
It is indicated for the same types of conditions as
Ginseng, but Ashwagandha is not heating, Yang or
stimulating like Ginseng (Panax varieties). It is used
preventatively for those who have difficulty replenish-
ing the energy they expend, and want to avoid burn
out. Burnout from unrelenting stress can take the form
of immune breakdown (colds, flu), headaches, irritable
bowel, blood sugar swings and any other genetic, pre-
dispositional or constitutional weakness. Ashwagandha
gives additional life force or Chi to help adapt to the
stresses at hand.
It can also be used as a restorative for those who
have already burned out. Ashwagandha, as part of a
rejuvenation treatment plan is effective in chronic
fatigue syndrome, depression, debility, recovery from
wasting diseases, chemotherapy and helps while one is
in emotional recovery therapy.

thoroughly before eating.”
Dr. Natalie Engelbart, clinical
director of Alternative Health
Solutions also recommends packing
a high-quality probiotics as part of
your vacation preparation. “We
spend so much time coordinating
the details of our vacations that we
often overlook planning for the
prevention of any illness. And you
can do this by taking a high quality
probiotic a week before you leave
and continuing to take them
throughout your trip. Research has
shown that probiotics can help
boost your immunity, prevent trav-
eler’s diarrhea caused by food-
borne bacteria and lessen the
symptoms of other digestive issues.
“Travelers do not realize that 80
percent of gastrointestinal illnesses
are caused by a bacterial infection
and can often be avoided with
proper supplements. Environmental
stress and traveler’s bugs can lower
the number of friendly bacteria,
disrupting the balance and causing
digestive distress,” said Dr.
Engelbart. “I recommend taking 4
to 6 a day a week before the trip
then 2 to 3 a day during vacation
and pack extra in case you do have
any stomach issues."
Both healthcare practitioners
agree that all probiotics are not cre-
ated equal and certain criteria
should be met before purchasing.
“A good probiotic should be
backed by scientific research, use
live, viable bacteria containing
numerous strains and have a deliv-
ery system that assures the benefi-
cial bacteria make it to the GI tract
where they can do their job,” said
Ms. Cohen.
Dr. Engelbart only recommends
Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics Original
Formula to her patients. “It is a
truly unique formula developed by
award-winning microbiologist
Iichiroh Ohhira, Ph.D. The various
strains of lactic acid bacteria were
scientifically selected for a specific
purpose—the proprietary TH 10
has been shown to be virulent
against modern bacterial threats.”
The nutritious plants used in the
fermentation culture medium and
the resulting organic acids benefit
all the body’s beneficial strains of
bacteria and are unlike anything in
the probiotic industry. Dr. Ohhira's
Probiotics are perfect for traveling
because they are in blister packs
and never need to be refrigerated,
so you can throw them in your
suitcase, purse or even a shirt
pocket to ensure a healthy holiday.
PSA Testing: Yes or No
“What can I take to lower
my PSA reading?”
The following is an excerpt from the
Willner Window Radio Program,
originally broadcast on May 27,
2012. The Willner Window can be
hear on WOR (710 AM) on Sunday,
from 2 to 4 pm, or on the internet,
www.wor710.com. MP3 files can

Today, I thought we would start
off by answering some questions
that were sent to me by email, via
my blog. I want to also comment
on some recent items in the news,
such as the new recommendations
on PSA testing. And, I want to talk
in more detail about some topics
we have commented on in recent
weeks, such as eye drops that show
promise in preventing cataracts and
other eye problems.
How many times over the years
have we had men call in, asking
the question, how do I lower my
PSA test result? Even after I careful-
ly explain to them that the PSA
reading is merely an indicator that
there might be an underlying prob-
lem with the prostate, perhaps
indicating early prostate cancer,
they continue to focus on the PSA
reading itself. They cannot let go of
the idea that the PSA reading is the
disease, and that lowering the PSA
reading will somehow cure the dis-
ease. They refuse to understand
that all the elevated PSA really
means is that they need to now
have their doctor look more closely
at their prostate, and determine if
there is or is not an underlying
problem. If there is a problem with
the prostate, be in inflammation,
enlargement or cancer, that is what
needs to be treated–not the PSA
reading. So I explain all of this, and
they say, "ok, thanks, now what can
I take to lower my PSA reading?"
Well, now that the latest expert
panel has chimed in, I have a new
answer to the question "how do I
lower my PSA test result?" Don't
take the PSA test!
The expert panel has advised that
most older men should not get rou-
tine screening for prostate cancer.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task
Force said that prostate-specific
antigen (PSA) screening does more
harm than good. A high test read-
ing can indicate prostate cancer.
But PSA can go up for other rea-
sons. Only a biopsy can tell if can-
cer exists. Some prostate cancers
can be deadly. But most grow so
slowly they never cause harm. Men
who get treated may have prob-
lems with sexual function and urine
control. And the panel concluded
that there's little or no evidence
that routine PSA tests save lives.
If your PSA level is elevated, it
can signal hidden prostate cancer.
But PSA also rises for many other
reasons. These include:
•An enlarged prostate
•A prostate infection
•After having sex or riding a bic
cle
Even when prostate cancer caus
es a rise in PSA, most often that
cancer would have otherwise gon
unnoticed. Only a minority of
prostate cancers harm a man's
quality of life or shorten how long
he lives.
Now, obviously, this panel's
advice is not the final word.
Whether or not you should contin
ue having PSA tests is a question
you need to decide after talking t
your doctor and evaluating your
personal situation.
If you are a man age 50 or olde
should you stop having routine
blood tests for PSA? A doctor from
Harvard Medical School gave som
good advice on how to go about
making that decision, and I poste
his comments on our website. I
think it is worth reading. Here is
how to find it. Go to our website,
www.willner.com. Click on the
"Reference Library" tab. The first
section you will see on the refer-
ence library page is "Articles &
Reprints." Click on that, and then
scroll down the listings until you
come to "PSA Testing: Pros and
Cons"
That's one way to find it. I'm
going to give you an even easier
way. I'm taking the time to do this
because we have a lot of very goo
information on our web site, and
you should take the time to
