You know the feeling - pressure behind the eyes, mild throbbing
headache just waiting to be trigger into a full-blown roaring pain. You can't
breathe through one side of your nose and you just know that the whole
thing will be clogged up again! SN-R-2 is a possible solution to the
recurring pain. This combination contains many heating herbs that work
wonders for getting head congestion moving.
Horseradish (Amoracia rusticana) is a timeless remedy for respiratory
illnesses. It is rich in aromatic sulphur, not to mention vitamins B1, C, B
complex, A, P, and the minerals calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron and
sodium. Many of its chemical components, like sinigrin, produce infection
fighting substances. Its ability to produse perspiration allow the body to
"sweat off" possible sinus congestion. Horseradish is a definate catalyst for
other ingredients of this power-packed combo.
Chickweed (Stillaria media) is an excellent choice for soothing irritated
tissues, calming almost any inflammation. Its demulcent (soothing)
properties make it a great expectorant. Donald Lepore, N.D. says that
Chickweed's glycosides have "wonderful antiseptic properties" in his book
The Ultimate Healing System. It is rich in iron, copper, calcium and
sodium and has trace amounts of manganese, phosphorus, zinc and
molybdenum.
Anytime that an infection of some sort is suspected, "blood purifiers" are
excellent choices for your daily regimen. This formula has two, Oregon
Grape and Golden Seal. Oregon Grape (Mahonia nervosa) is often in
formulas that "reduce inflammation in the blood" and therefore is said to be
used of increased heat inflammation. In fact, in spanish it is often called
Yerba de la Sangre or "herb of the blood." Oregon Grape was first
introduced as a tonic in the late 1800's and was listed in official
pharmacopoeias. It was an important herb in the Physiomedicalist
movement that blended orthodox and Native American practices. This
anti-inflammatory herb acts as a purifier to the spleen and lymphatic system
as a whole, with historical references to being used specifically for
suspected staph infections and other lymphatic congestion. It is rich in
antiseptic isouionline alkaloids, especially berberine just like its fellow
yellow root, Golden Seal.
Golden Seal (Hydrastis canadensis) also carries a load of berberine,
credited for the botanical's antibiotic qualities and a mild sedative on the
central nervous system. Some have called it "King of the Mucous
Membranes" and it has definately earned the title. Found most plentiful in
the woods of Ohio, Native American Cherokees introduced this plant as a
medicine for treatment of ulcers and arrow wounds. Golden Seal is very
effective in stimulating the immune system by increasing the blood supply to
the spleen. It has been shown to be effective in some strains of
streptococcus by not allowing the bacteria to adhere to the throat. It even
has a mild stimulating effect on digestion.
An herb historically used for digestive stimulation is Gentian (Gentian
lutea). Gentian has been used in traditional aperitifs and bitters such as
Angostura bitters. Bitters actually signal the stomach and then the brain that
food is on the way so that digestive juices may be secreted. It is named
after the King of Illyria, who is thought to have first discovered the herb's
medicinal uses. This tall plant is native to the Alps and other European
mountainous regions from Spain to the Bulkans. Historically, it has also
been used to "build the blood" during recuperation and to stimulate the
appetite during times of great illness.
Found in coaastal regions of the U.S. as far west as Texas, Bayberry
(Myrica cerifera) is also included in this combination. This is yet another
herb that is described as soothing to the mucous membranes. During the
19th century, doctors would prescribe hot tea made from powdered
Bayberry bark at the first sign of colds, flu and coughs. It has also been
valued to clear the sinuses, as the powder has been "sniffed" for this
purpose. It was listed in the U.S. National Formulary 1916-1936 and was
used to strengthen local resistance to infection and to tighten and dry
mucous membranes. Bayberry also promotes perspiration like Horseradish.
Betonic is the Celtic name for Wood Betony (Betonic officinalis), which
stems from ben meaning the head, and ton meaning good. So even the
ancient Celts knew that this herb is prized for pain in the head area. Some
sources cite it as being especially good for facial pain, more specifically
around the pineal gland area. This nervine has been used for various
nervous disorders as it is a slight sedative. Wood Betony has been
regarded as a possible "cure-all" since classical times. In fact Antomius
Musa, physician to Roman Emperor Augustus (60 BC - 14 AD) claimed it
would "cure" 47 different illnesses.
The ingredients in this formula would definately move congestion,
especially from the sinuses.
Caution: Some of the herbs described in this formula may cause slight
contraction of the uterus, especially used in large quantities. Therefore, it
may be wise to avoid this formula during pregnancy, especially in large
doses.
