Herp Ease Formula
A blend of herbs designed for use during the acute outbreak of
any type of herpes infection.
Who might benefit from this herbal supplement? Those suffering
an acute outbreak of genital herpes, cold sores (oral herpes), or shin-
gles (herpes zoster.)
While there is no cure for herpes, this formula will help to quiet
the attack and reduce the inflammation. The Ayurvedic herb Neem
is a very strong anti-bacterial and anti-viral that limits the viral attack.
Licorice and Turmeric are strong anti-inflammatory herbs that reduce
the outbreak. They limit prostaglandin-induced inflammation. The
anti-viral actions of St. John’s Wort are being discovered and used
for many viral conditions. St. John’s Wort is also a nerve ending
sedative, which helps in pain. Since herpes lives in the nerve end-
ings and tends to erupt when under stress (stress hyper stimulates
the nerve endings), St. John’s Wort is of obvious value. St. John’s
Wort is calming under stress, is a nerve ending sedative and has anti-
viral implications.
Phyto-Tech™ Herp Ease Formula contains: Neem Herb, Licorice
Root, St. John's Wort Flowers Fresh, Turmeric Root Fresh, Alcohol
Pure Grain, Water Pure Deionized.

Holy Basil (Ocimum sanctum), also known as Tulsi, is one of the
most highly regarded plants in Ayurvedic medicine. It has been used
for centuries in India to treat an array of conditions such as inflam-
mation, digestive complaints, asthma, arthritis, and skin conditions.
In the West it is most well known for its ability to counteract stress,
calm the mind and lift the spirit. Accordidng toherbalists, Holy Basil
is an adaptogen that promotes a healthy stress response and can
protect one from breakdown due to chronic stress, emotional tur-
moil or work overload. Research shows that Holy Basil counteracts
stress-induced changes in neurotransmitters and enzymes. It normal-
izes and brings balance to biochemicals in the body’s stress center
such as cortisol, epinephrine and dopamine. Holy Basil is helpful for
individuals with stress-related conditions, such as anxiety, irritability,
depression, irritable bowel, digestive disorders, hormonal fluctua-
tions, adrenal fatigue, insomnia, and immune deficiency. Holy Basil
encourages emotional well-being and restores homeostasis to indi-
viduals who feel like stress has gotten the best of them.
Research supports the traditional claims for Holy Basil’s role in glu-
cose metabolism, and hypoglycemic effects. A 1996 study involving
patients with type 2 diabetes reported a significant decrease in the
patients’ fasting blood glucose levels when treated with holy basil
compared to treatment with placebo. Total serum cholesterol levels
were also reduced. A more recent 2006 study found that Holy Basil
stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas, which contributes to
the plants anti-diabetic action. In addition, Holy Basil decreases the
stress hormone cortisol, which rises when one is exposed to chronic
stress. Elevated cortisol levels trigger the body to produce more glu-
cose causing an unhealthy increase in blood glucose levels. This can
also result in weight gain. Holy Basil can be helpful for those with
type-2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, or rapid blood sugar swings.
Why is the Phyto-Tech™ Holy Basil liquid filled veggie cap stan-
dardized to 20-8-8-5? Holy Basil contains numerous polyphenols
such as eugenol, ursolic acid and rosmarinic acid that act as power-
ful antioxidants to fight free radicals and protect cells from oxidative
damage. These compounds also fight inflammation and inhibit pro-
duction of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzymes. A study published in
Phytomedicine measured the activity of Holy Basil’s phenolic com-
pounds and found the COX-2 inhibitory activity of the compounds
to be comparable to ibuprofen, naproxen and aspirin. Holy Basil is
therefore indicated for relieving inflammation and pain caused by
arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, sports injury and physical overuse.

Hoodia Gordonii 1:4
Tested Authentic
A South African herb thought to support healthy weight by
decreasing food cravings.
According to many experts, many products now on the market
claiming to contain Hoodia may be mislabeled. Here is advice from
Mitch Coven, Medical Herbalist: “Consumers should use caution
when purchasing products that claim to be true Hoodia Gordonii.
Several Hoodia products on the market are made of cactus-like
material and contain no P57 [P57 is a steroidal glycoside thought to
be the active ingredient of Hoodia] or any other active appetite sup-
pressing substance. The 20:1 claims that many companies use for
their Hoodia products are false. These products are not concentrat-
ed extracts. Their claim of 20:1 is a fresh to dry down ratio of raw
material. Their 20:1 claims are just dry raw material. Additionally,
many 20:1 Hoodia claims are actually adulterated material with
prickly pear cactus, maltodextrin and sand. Many fail independent
lab tests. Consumers should demand to see 3rd party authentic test
results on the current lot numbered batch. Authentic Hoodia must
also be accompanied by an international CITES certificate for valida-
tion. Since Hoodia is endangered, the South African government
carefully allows only a small amount of Hoodia to be harvested in
order to protect it. The CITES certificate with a current date shows
that the batch is authentic and not an illegally harvested batch.
