Ginseng to Replenish Vital Energy
Ginseng is traditionally used as a tonic to revitalise the energy. It is used during recuperation from disease and as a preventative measure, to build resistance, adapt to stress and promote health and longevity.

How are Drugs Detoxified
As far as the body is concerned, drugs - whether natural or man made, are foreign substances that need to be inactivated or detoxified and eliminated. These chemicals can not be allowed to accumulate in the body. If they do accumulate they increase the toxic burden in the body. The accumulation of toxic substances in the body is now considered to be one of the main reasons behind the development of disease (Miller 1997).

Glucosamine for Joint Health and Repair
Glucosamine is an amino acid and sugar (glucose) combination. It is essential for the maintenance and repair of joints and is naturally produced in the body. As we age the body's ability to produce glucosamine from glucose decreases because the quantity of the enzyme glucosamine synthetase, responsible for the process declines. After an injury to joints, cartilage or spinal discs the body is often unable to make sufficient glucosamine for healing to occur.

Toxic Chemicals in Skin and Hair Care Products
Skin and hair care products are used in an attempt to enhance our appearance or preserve our skin - however this is not what many of the product that are commercially available actually do. Many are far from safe and add to the toxic burden of the body. If you have been using unsafe skin and hair care products (and anybody who uses the usual commercially available products will have) then you need to detoxify your body to remove these toxic chemicals and limit the damage that they can cause.
