Herp Ease Formula
A blend of herbs designed for use during the
acute outbreak of any type of herpes infection.
1 fl oz - Product Code: 57099
Who might benefit from this herbal supplement?
• Those suffering an acute outbreak of genital herpes, cold
sores (oral herpes), or shingles (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 endings
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.
Ingredients:
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 inflammation, 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
turmoil or work overload. Research shows that Holy Basil
counteracts stress-induced changes in neurotransmitters and
enzymes. It normalizes 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 fluctuations,
adrenal fatigue, insomnia, and immune deficiency. Holy Basil
encourages emotional well-being and restores homeostasis to
individuals who feel like stress has gotten the best of them.
Research supports the traditional claims for Holy Basil’s role
in glucose 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 glucose 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.

n a study published in the American Journal
of Clinical Nutrition; October, 2016, 38
healthy, non-smoking men and women with
mildly elevated blood pressure, age 30 to 77,
took a whey protein shake or a calcium
caseinate shake, or a placebo. The whey and
caseinate shakes each containing 28 grams of
protein, twice per day. The participants
were not taking antihypertensive or
cholesterol medications.
After eight weeks, compared to placebo,
those in the whey protein group saw a
decline of 3.9 mmHg in systolic blood
pressure, and 2.5 mmHg in diastolic blood
pressure. Also for whey protein, systolic
blood pressure at the extremities and
centrally had declined by 5.4 and 5.7
mmHg, respectively. Blood vessel flexibility
increased for both whey and calcium
caseinate compared to placebo.
Total cholesterol levels in the whey group
declined to 188.7 from 195.2 mg/dL, while
increasing for placebo, and triglycerides
dropped to 102.7 from 116.0 mg/dL, while
the placebo group increased.
Thus, it seems that we can add improved
cardiovascular health to the other benefits of
dairy protein supplementation, especially for
whey protein.

D
octors combined results from 11 studies
covering 900 people who took sea
buckthorn berries or extract. Some
participants were healthy, some had fatty
liver disease, and others had high lipid levels.
Overall, sea buckthorn reduced total
cholesterol by an average of 24.3 mg per
deciliter of blood (mg/dL); triglycerides by
40.7 mg/dL, and LDL cholesterol by 23.9
mg/dL. Those taking sea buckthorn who had
higher chances of developing heart or
circulatory diseases saw HDL, the “good”
cholesterol, increase by 10.4 mg/dL.
Discussing the findings, doctors said the
heart-protective effects of sea buckthorn may
be due to the antioxidant phytochemicals,
especially flavonoids and beta-sitosterol.
