Energi-Bliss – Energy Tonic
Ingredients:
Premium Herbal Extracts containing Siberian Ginseng, Korean Ginseng & Withania
KOREAN GINSENG (Panax ginseng)
Ginseng root has been used empirically for thousands of years in Asian countries. It is one of the most important medicinal products in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Its indication as a general tonic, along with those of physical performance enhancer, ‘adaptogen’ and aphrodisiac, has survived to this day. It is used as a tonic for the treatment of physical or mental exhaustion, stress, lowered immunity, general weakness, cold extremities, lack of appetite, weakness and wasting after long duration of illness, anxiety accompanied with heart palpitations and insomnia, impotence and infertility in women and cardiac insufficiency.
Traditional Use:
The man-shaped root was initially taken as a whole body treatment according to the ‘doctrine of signatures'
Actions:
Adaptogen, tonic, immunostimulant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiproliferative, antiallergic, antiemetic, antidepressant, demulcent, stomachic, aphrodisiac, stimulant, diuretic, neuroprotective, cardioprotective, antihypertensive
Indications:
Energetics:
Sweet, slightly bitter and slightly warm. Tonifies the ‘primal qi’ and the ‘qi of all organs’, especially that of the lungs and spleen.
Use in Pregnancy:
While use in TCM formulas in Asia is common during pregnancy and lactation, caution is advised.
Contraindications & Cautions:
Older literature suggests ginseng is contraindicated during acute illness, haemorrhage and the acute period of coronary thrombosis. It’s also recommended that people who are highly energetic, nervous or schizophrenic should avoid it, and it should not be taken with stimulants, including caffeine (coffee), antipsychotic drugs or during treatment with hormones. The scientific basis for many of these statements is not clear.
Drug Interactions:
Caution with caffeine, digoxin, imatinib (chemotherapy medication), insulin, midazolam (a benzodiazepine with sedative properties), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (antidepressants), nifedipine (a medicine used to treat high blood pressure), oestrogens, raltegravir (an antiretroviral medication used to treat HIV/AIDS), anticoagulant/antiplatelet (such as warfarin), antidiabetic, immunosuppressant and stimulant drugs (such as cocaine, methamphetamine, nicotine and prescription stimulants such as Ritalin). May be beneficial with cancer therapy (chemotherapy and radiotherapy) under medical supervision.
SIBERIAN GINSENG (Eleutherococcus senticosus)
Siberian ginseng is often referred to as the ‘king of adaptogens’ and is traditionally used to help the body better adapt to stress. It is most effective in the treatment of prolonged exhaustion and anxiety resulting from overwork, lack of sleep and long-term stress and shows promise for the management of moderate chronic fatigue syndrome. Siberian ginseng is also used for increased endurance, especially athletic performance, and memory improvement, as well as for immunological enhancement and overall well-being.
Traditional Use:
In Russia Siberian ginseng was originally used by people in the Siberian taiga (sub-arctic) region to increase performance and quality of life, and to decrease infections. In the 1950s the term adaptogen was coined by Soviet scholars and they considered Siberian ginseng to be one of the most important adaptogens after Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng). It can invigorate qi (vital energy), strengthen the spleen and nourish the kidney in the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Siberian ginseng was first introduced into the American herb market in the late 1970s, as Wuchaseng and Wujiaseng, and it became commonly known as Eleuthero.
Actions:
Adaptogen, immunomodulator, antiviral, mild stimulant, tonic
Indications:
Safety during pregnancy and lactation has not been established. In the absence of sufficient data, the use during pregnancy and lactation is not recommended. It is not traditionally used in pregnancy.
Contraindications & Cautions:
May cause insomnia in some people if taken too close to bedtime. People with hypertension should be monitored.
Drug Interactions:
Caution with alcohol, central nervous system depressants, digoxin, lithium and immunosuppressant drugs. Monitor with anticoagulant/antiplatelet and antidiabetic drugs. May be beneficial in chemotherapy – medical supervision recommended.
WITHANIA (Withania somnifera) - otherwise known as Ashwaganda
In recent years Withania has been used by Western herbalists for its ability to both strengthen those who are weak and calm those who are stressed and anxious. It enhances the function of the brain and nervous system and improves the memory. It improves the function of the reproductive system promoting a healthy sexual and reproductive balance. Being a powerful adaptogen it enhances the body's resilience to stress.
Traditional Use:
Withania is a revered medicinal plant that has been used in Ayurvedic and indigenous medicine for millennia to relieve stress, increase energy levels and improve concentration. In Ayurveda Withania is referred to as a rasayana. Most of the rasayana herbs are adaptogen and anti-stress agents. Among the Ayurvedic rasayana herbs withania holds the most prominent place.
Actions:
Adaptogen, anxiolytic, nervine tonic, tonic, mild sedative, aphrodisiac, anti-inflammatory, antitumour, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, cardioprotective
Indications:
Withania is used as a tonic to support pregnancy and lactation, and to prevent miscarriage, in the Ayurvedic tradition. However Western texts urge caution in pregnancy due to reputed abortifacient activity and antifertility effects when taken in large doses which were noted in early animal studies despite there being no evidence of foetal damage.
Contraindications & Cautions:
Use with caution in peptic ulcer disease as withania may cause gastrointestinal irritation. People who are sensitive to the Solanaceae family should use this herb with caution.
Drug interactions:
Caution with benzodiazepines antidiabetic, central nervous system depressant and immunosuppressant drugs. Monitor with antihypertensive drugs. Combination may be beneficial with antipsychotic drugs such as haloperidol, clomipramine and chemotherapeutic agents. Medical supervision is recommended.
