Anxiety-Free (new name for VBJ) is a blend of vacha, brahmi and jatamansi - three Ayurvedic herbs that when combined have a specific effect on rebuilding the nervous system. It has been labeled a panacea by many Ayurvedic experts because of its stabilizing effect on moods (anxiety or depression), energy, digestion, elimination and any stress related condition. We know that stress is the cause of 80% of all disease. “The Feel Good Pills,” as my patients have named them, are designed to lessen the impact of stress on the nervous system. 90 caps, 400mg. Take 1-3 caps 3x/day depending on body size and need. Take regularly for 1-3 months, then use as needed for stress. |

Shatavari (replaces SITAWARI) - Asparagus racemosus. In my opinion, Shatavari is the most important herb for every woman to know about. Translated it means "a woman with a hundred husbands." It is useful for teenagers moving into puberty. It is extremely important during pregnancy. It is very useful for infertility concerns, and extremely effective for the symptoms of menopause. It is a reproductive tonic, it cleans the blood, rebuilds the nervous system, acts as a hormonal precursor for estrogen and progesterone and is as safe as it is effective. 90 caps, 500 mg. Take 2 caps 2x/day. |

Sugar Destroyer (replaces BIO-GYMNEMA and SWEET EASE) is a formula that has been used for thousands of years for hypoglycemic and diabetic conditions. To influence hypoglycemia, Sugar Destroyer dulls the ability of the taste buds to recognize sweets, so naturally, the craving for sweets diminishes. Sugar Destroyer also helps stabilize the production of insulin, thereby contributing to energy stabilization. One study showed this herb actually restimulated the beta cells in the pancreas to begin producing insulin in insulin-dependent diabetics. Clinically, I see wonderful results with this product in lowering insulin replacement needs. I also see excellent results for hypoglycemics who are hypersensitive to sugar. Once these patients stabilize their conditions with Sugar Destroyer, they are able to tolerate sugar again in moderation. Sugar Destroyer’s primary ingredient is Gymnema sylvestre, which stabilizes blood sugar by resetting the islet cells of pancreas and improving the ability of insulin to take sugar into the cells. The Sugar Destroyer formulation is good for both hypoglycemic highs and lows in energy as well as hyperglycemic or diabetic situations where the body is not producing enough insulin. 90 caps, 500mg. Take 1-2 caps 1/2 hour before meals, if possible, or anytime around the meal. |

(replaces BOSWELYA PLUS) - Boswellia is an Ayurvedic herb that has been used for more than 1000 years for arthritis and painful joints. This herb is not only an anti-inflammatory, but it also breaks up scar tissue and increases blood supply to the joints. Studies have shown that it takes six weeks for the blood to completely penetrate the joint and begin reversing arthritic causative factors. Boswellia has a long history of effectiveness and has been studied extensively. Other supportive herbs have been found to potentiate the effectiveness of the boswellic acids. They are ginger, winter cherry and turmeric. Pain-Free has all these ingredients added to maximize its effectiveness. 90 caps, 400mg. Take 1-2 caps 3x/day, anytime of day, for a minimum of 6 weeks. |

Manjistha (Rubia cordifolia) is one of the most powerful blood purifiers available. It is commonly used for skin discolorations, such as liver spots and vitiligo. However, I find it most effective as a lymphatic destagnator. Most health professionals don't realize the important role of the lymphatic system, which drains the wastes from your body and controls and regulates your immune system. It is pumped through muscular contractions, so if one is sedentary, the lymphatic system will eventually become sedentary and will create toxicity in lymphatic related tissues such as breasts, skin, joints, and muscles. When the lymph system become sluggish, people complain of fatigue, exhaustion, skin conditions, sore throats, puffy hands and feet, and weight gain, to name a few symptoms. The lymphatic system is so important that the symptomatic list goes on and on. Manjistha is an herb that supports the natural function of the lymphatic system allowing nutrition to feed the cells and wastes to be removed from the body in an optimal fashion. Often times we treat the liver and never treat the lymph, and as a result, symptoms remain. 90 caps, 460mg. Take 2 caps 2-3x/day. |
