liver function and helps retain moisture in the intestines.
Moving On is a non-cramping, gentle formula.
Cascara is a predictable laxative that increases peristalsis. It
softens the stool by helping it to move out more quickly and
can assist in painful bowel movements.
Yellow Dock stimulates bile production and is often used as a
digestive bitter for those with poor digestion. Increasing bile
output causes peristalsis to increase which helps assist in
normal healthy bowel function. Yellow Dock contains small
amounts of anthraquinone glycosides, which give it mild
laxative effects. Yellow Dock also promotes the absorption of
nutrients by the ileum.
Triphala has been used in the Ayurvedic system of medicine
for thousands of years as a bowel tonic and whole body
rejuvenator. The formula consists of the three fruits: amalaki,
haritaki, and bibhitaki. The combination balances the system
by enhancing digestion, drawing stagnated wastes out of the
intestines, and gently encouraging healthy and complete
elimination.
Similar in action to Yellow Dock, Oregon Grape and Gentian
are bitters that stimulate the liver to produce more bile and
other liver enzymes. They essentially increase liver function
and are indicated for those with constitutional deficiency
patterns in the liver and digestive system. They will increase
fat digestion (by increasing bile) and protein digestion (by
increasing HCl and pepsinogen), and speedup the rate in
which the liver detoxifies the blood as it passes through the
liver.
Licorice increases the hormone aldosterone, which increases
water retention slightly. It will help hydrate and soften dry
stools and acts as a mild laxative. Licorice is soothing to the
digestive tract and is known for healing stomach and
duodenal ulcers.
Ginger will increase digestive enzymes and speed up the
transit time of food that is slow. It essentially increases the fire
of digestion. It has a history of use in foods to help digest and
move them through the digestive tract. It also helps reduce
gas and can help prevent and alleviate nausea.
Contra-indications and Cautions: Pregnancy, Nursing; Colitis,
inflammatory bowel, irritable bowel. It is not advisable to use
stimulant laxatives regularly over a long period of time follow
the advice of your health care professional.

MuscleGesic
A blend of herbs designd to help reduce muscle
and nerve pain, and inflammation.
1 fl oz - Product Code: 57035
Who might benefit from this herbal supplement?
• Those suffering from muscle pain; those suffering from
fibromyalgia
• Those who wish to shorten recovery time after athletic
workouts; those recovering from injuries or accidents.
Ingredients:
Phyto-Tech™ MuscleGesic contains the following: Fresh
Skullcap Herb, Fresh St. John’s Wort Flowers, Devil’s Claw
Tuber, Black Cohosh Root, Fresh Lobelia Herb, Fresh Betony
Herb, Pure Grain Alcohol, Deionized Water.
MuscleGesic has many uses. It helps diminish muscle and
nerve pain and inflammation. Skullcap and St. John’s Wort
decrease the frequency the nerve sends a pain signal to the
brain while Devil’s Claw decreases inflammation. It can be
used as a preventative, for immediate acute pain and for
chronic pain.
Unlike a prescription pain medication (potentially addictive
and toxic), this non-toxic and non-addictive approach will
diminish pain but not paralyze the pain signal completely.
This allows for enough pain relief so one can relax and heal
rapidly.
Chronic pain can lead to depression and that is addressed
with the St. John’s Wort in the formula.
As a specific for fibromyalgia and chronic pain disorders,
MuscleGesic helps diminish pain and connective tissue
inflammation.
Dosage:
Preventative: Before a painful event (dental visit, deep
muscle massage, workout, athletic event) 30 drops minimum
and up to 120 drops 1/2 to 1 hour before the event.
Acute dosage: 60-90 drops in water every 2-3 hours until
pain subsides. Then 2-3 times daily until not needed.
Chronic pain: 60-90 drops 2-3 times daily in water.
Note: Phyto-Tech™ Arnica Oil 1:6 can be used topically for
local muscle pain and inflammation along with MuscleGesic.

Probiotics Ease Allergy in Peak Pollen Season
I
n this double-blind, placebo-controlled,
parallel, randomized clinical trial, doctors
studied the effects of probiotics on seasonal
allergy.
They gave 173 people with seasonal
allergies a placebo or a probiotic containing l-
gasseri, bifidobacterium bifidum, and
b-longum at three-billion colony forming units
per day total, during peak pollen season. The
actual product used was
Kyo-Dophilus
, by
Wakunaga
.
After eight weeks, while there were no
changes for placebo, but the probiotics group
reported fewer symptoms of runny nose and
watery eyes, and an improvement in quality
of life.
(The study was published in the American
Journal of Clinical Nutrition; February, 2017,
No. 140012)
In the introduction to the study, the
researchers emphasized the importance of
evaluating “wuality of life” in this study.
“Medical practice often focuses on treating
diseases and alleviating symptoms of disease,
but quality of life is also an important aspect
that is sometimes overlooked. Secondary
effects of a disease or its consequent
treatment can negatively impact well-being
and the ability of an individual to continue a
daily routine, diminishing quality of life.
Allergic rhinitis, commonly known as seasonal
allergies or hay fever, has been associated
with a lack of sleep, reduced productivity at
work or school, emotional distress, and
embarrassment (1). A steady increase in the
prevalence of allergic diseases has been
observed over the past 50 y (2).
Currentmedications for allergies may have
undesirable side effects depending on the
individual (e.g., dry mouth, drowsiness,
sleeplessness) (3), some of which may affect
quality of life. It is of interest to continue to
search for alternatives.”
This is another of those “win-win”
situations. Not only has
Kyo-Dophilus
now
been shown to be helpful in treating seasonal
allergies, but it also, of course, will provide
other benefits–supporting healthy intestinal
and digestive function and immune health.
Kyo-Dophilus
is available at Willner
Chemists. It is guaranteed stable throughout
the indicated shelf -life indicated, is dairy free,
and does not need to be refrigerated. It is
available in the following sizes: 45 capsule
(Willner ode 17798), 90 capsules (Willner
code 17799) and 180 capsules (Willner code
31686).
In addition to a probiotic supplement like
Kyo-Dophilus
, there are two Phyto-Tech™
supplements that can be utilized as well:
Phyto-Tech™ Sinus Decongest
is a blend of
herbs that exert an immediate, dramatic effect
on the sinus area. These herbs are pungent
and aromatic, producing vapors that open
and dilate the sinus passageways. This
facilitates breathing, drainage and helps fight
microbial growth. It produces a short term
intensity that is followed by a more mellow,
warming sensation in the sinus area. Sinus
Decongest will open even the most stubborn
and clogges sinus cavity. It can be used
manytimes during the day to help maintain
breathing and sinus drainage.

1 fl oz, Product Code:56941
It is best to inhale deeply right after taking
Phyto-Tech™Sinus Decongest. The deeper
one inhales, the more effecive the result.
General Dosage:
Take 15-30 drops directly in
mouth, or in water or juice as soon as is
needed. Take 1-3 times per day and up to
every 3 hours when needed.
Phyto-Tech™ Sinus Decongest contains:
Horseradish Root Fresh, Spilanthes Herb
Fresh, Echinacea angustifolia Root, Elderberry,
Peppermint Oil, Olive Leaf, Horehound Herb,
Garlic, Licorice Root, Cayenne Fruit, Boneset
Herb, Osha Root Fresh, Andrographis Herb,
Onion, Yarrow Herb, Goldenseal Root, Wild
Cherry Bark, Water Pure Deionized, Alcohol
Pure Grain, Glycerin Vegetable, Honey.
How does it work?
Peppermint Oil and Fresh
Organic Horseradish pulls the action up and
into the sinus while the pungency of
Cayenne, Garlic Onion and Horseradish
increase circulation. Since the sinus cavity has
poor circulation in general, this increase
allows immune compounds in the blood to
fight infection. The additional Immuno-
Stimulating action of Echinacea, Spilanthes,
Goldenseal, Elderberry, Garlic, Olive and
Fresh Osha help stimulate the body to fight off
microbial inundation and assist in healing.
Decongesting herbs like Horehound, Licorice,
Wild Cherry and Osha also help clean the
lungs. Sinus Decongest helps to thin, thick
and infected mucus and expectorate it out. In
this way, it can help resolve an unproductive
cough. Fever managing herbs like Boneset,
Yarrow, Osha, Andrographis and Peppermint
also help reestablish immune homeostasis.
The other product is
Phyto-Tech™ Allergy
Complex
. This herbal supplement supports
healthy sinus and respiratory systems function
by exerting an anti-histamine, decongestant
type action. Phyto-Tech™ Allergy Complex
contains the following herbs: Nettle Leaf,
Eyebright Herb, Yerba Santa Leaf, Turmeric
Root, Lobelia Herb, Ambrosia Herb.
