Throat Spray
A soothing, healing spray for sore and irritated
throats.
1 fl oz - Alcohol Free Spray - Product Code: 56957
Who might benefit from this herbal supplement?
• Those with sore and irritated throats due to sickness or
over-use; those whose throats are raw and sore from
lecturing, yelling, singing, excessive talking, dry air, etc; those
with sore throats due to cold or flu.
Ingredients:
Phyto-Tech™ Throat Spray contains the following: Fresh Osha
Root, Echinacea angustifolia Root, Propolis, Thyme Herb,
Fresh Spilanthes Flower, Fresh Ginger Root, Licorice Root,
Aloe Vera, Vegetable Glycerin, Deionized Water, Organic
Honey, Natural Flavors (Raspberry and Mint)
Throat Spray can be used as a preventive measure, i.e. before
lecturing, flying on airplanes, contact with sick people, etc, or
at the first onset of a respiratory illness.
For colds and flu, Throat Spray is a powerful and immediate
lung white blood cell stimulant (Osha, Propolis). Phlegm is
loosened with Licorice and the lungs are opened with Osha.
Thyme is specific for throat infections while Propolis coats
and helps create an immune barrier. General immunity is
stimulated with Echinacea and Spilanthes. Both of those
herbs also increase saliva, which pH corrects the mouth and
throat to prevent bacteria penetration. As long as saliva and
healthy mucus cover the throat, microorganisms such as Strep
and influenza will have a harder time penetrating tissue and
moving into the body. Licorice, Aloe Vera and honey help to
coat mucosal tissue like the throat as demulcents. Ginger
increases blood supply to the respiratory tract to bring in
innate immunity and help resolve an infection.
Throat Spray may be helpful to athletes, asthmatic and those
exposed to high altitudes as Osha will increase oxygen
uptake. It is great for high altitude sports. Osha brings blood
into the capillaries of the lungs, thus facilitating oxygen
uptake via hemoglobin.

Indications:
Thyroid Complex is a complex formula that provides
nutritional support for the thyroid gland, stimulates hormone
production, and restores normal metabolic balance in the
body. The thyroid hormones are responsible for the body’s
use of energy, known as the basal metabolic rate (BMR). They
are also critical for cell respiration and the production of ATP
energy, and are required for normal growth and
development, protein synthesis and energy metabolism.
While a blood test can be used to test for low thyroid activity,
thyroid tests are commonly normal yet one still has the
symptoms of low thyroid. These symptoms include fatigue,
running cooler than others (feeling cooler in your body), cold
hands and/or feet, sluggish bowels, and slow digestion.
The amino acid L-tyrosine is a precursor to the thyroid
hormone Thyroxine (T4) and helps stimulate the thyroid
gland. Zinc is needed to convert T4 into the active hormone
Triiodothyronine (T3) and low levels of zinc have been shown
to contribute to hypothyroidism. The Ayurvedic herbs
Ashwagandha, Gotu Kola and Bacopa all have stimulating
effects on the thyroid and support the body’s production of
thyroid hormones. Ashwagandha is restorative and
rejuvenating for those experiencing burn-out, weakness, and
fatigue. It’s known as the “Ayurvedic” Ginseng and can give
additional Chi or energy and help one adapt to stress. Gotu
Kola stimulates the thyroid and physical and mental energy
and will help with fatigue, confusion, and general lethargy.
Bacopa enhances memory, learning and concentration while
reducing anxiety and stress.
The trace mineral Iodine is required for the production of the
thyroid hormones that regulate the metabolic energy of the
body and set the basal metabolic rate (BMR). Most of the
iodine in the body is concentrated in the thyroid. Iodine must
be obtained regularly from the diet, as the body does not
store the mineral and eliminates it quickly. Potassium iodide
is a source of iodine that can be easily taken up by the
thyroid gland.
Kelp and Bladderwrack are forms of algae that are rich in
iodine and other important vitamins and minerals including
calcium, magnesium, potassium, niacin, riboflavin, and
choline. They also contains algin, a polysaccharide which has
been used to help pull out intestinal toxins and heavy metals.
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is involved in metabolism and
is essential for the body to utilize carbohydrates, proteins,

D
octors were especially interested to find
a selenium benefit because of the low
chances of survival. In this study of African-
American women, doctors compared the
diets of 406 women with ovarian cancer (OC)
to 632 women of similar age and geographic
location without ovarian cancer.
Women who took selenium supplements of
more than 20 mcg per day were 30 percent
less likely to developo compared to women
who did not take supplements. Among
women smokers, those who took selenium
supplements were 87 percent less likely to
develop ovarian cancer than those who didn't
take selenium supplements.
The benefit appeared only in women who
took selenium supplements, and not in those
who only got selenium from diet. Doctors said
that to their knowledge, this is the first study
to find a potential link between antioxidants
like selenium and reducing ovarian cancer in
African-American women.

Older adults are more likely than younger
ones to have problems falling and staying
asleep, and prescription sleep medications
can have harsh side effects. In this study, 60
older adults complaining of low-quality sleep
and insomnia took 200 mg of chamomile
extract capsules, twice per day, or a placebo.
After 28 days, compared to placebo, those
taking chamomile reported better sleep
quality including less time spent falling asleep,
a greater percentage of total time in bed
spent sleeping, fewer sleep disturbances, less
need for taking sleep medication, and better
daytime functioning.
While the total time sleeping did not
increase, doctors said this may be because
the study, at just one month, was too short.
Doctors think chamomile may work because
compounds in the plant bind to nerve-
signaling sites in the central nervous system,
creating a natural sleep-inducing effect.
