Astra Isatis. Ancient Antiviral/Bacterial, Modern Disease
Astra Isatis formula contains high doses of antibacterial and antiviral Isatis, a plant used for thousands of years to combat respiratory disease. Rounding out the formula are ingredients such as Astralagus (an immune-boost star) and others to support the body and address possible gastro-intestinal side effects of Isatis and other strong antiviral and antibacterial ingredients. NOTE: As always with Chinese Medicinal formulas, please contact me to ensure this is a good choice for you.*

So why doesn’t everyone know Chinese Medicine can safely, gently and inexpensively fight bacterial and viral infections? Unfortunately, our broken system puts profits over people. Big Pharma can’t patent plants nor re-create in the lab the intricately harmonious elements of these ancient formulas, so they can’t make money on them. Therefore, the industry works hard to discredit natural medicinals and drowns out supportive voices. Big Pharma coordinates with our government system for the benefit of the politicians, the two parties and themselves… not for We the People.
I have great results with Health Concerns Products. I like them because they’re focused on bringing the centuries of knowledge amassed in the Chinese herbal tradition to the West and continue to research, test, and adapt traditional formulas by applying the science of modern biochemistry, addressing the specific conditions of Western patients.
Chinese Medicine Description of Formula and Ingredient Action:
Astra Isatis combines isatis (da qing ye/ban lan gen), an herb with strong anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties, with Qi, yin and yang tonics. The formula is designed for patients with weak constitutions who are prone to many infections. The cooling and warming properties of the herbs are balanced in Astra Isatis to provide long-term therapy for chronic viral infections, which tend to exhaust the Qi and yang. The formula contains herbs that help calm an overactive metabolism and inhibit the agitating effects of pathogenic organisms. It includes spleen and kidney tonic herbs chosen for their immune enhancing properties and their ability to reduce inflammations. Laminaria (kun bu) regulates the thyroid and resolves lymphatic congestion. Bupleurum (chai hu) invigorates liver Qi and is used in the treatment of prolonged infections. Astragalus (huang qi), codonopsis (dang shen), white atractylodes (bai zhu) and dioscorea (shan yao) strengthen the spleen, and have immune enhancing properties according to Western research. Epimedium (yin yang huo) tonifies kidney yin and yang. Lycium (gou qi zi) nourishes kidney yin. Licorice (gan cao) tonifies the adrenal gland and has detoxifying properties.*
