Astragalus root is popularly used worldwide as an immune enhancer and general body tonic. Indeed, studies have demonstrated its direct positive effects on the immune system in animal models and have pointed to its antimicrobial activity in vitro. Astragalus may benefit the digestive system, protect against liver injury, boost the immune system of lupus patients, counter alcohol-induced memory loss, improve sperm motility, and help heal burn injuries. The astragalus fraction, F3, has exhibited significant immunorestorative effects on mononuclear cells taken from cancer patients. Similar results were seen in vivo using a rodent model. The anti-tumor activity of LAK cells was greatly enhanced by the action of Shengmaisan with astragalus membranaceus.

Results of numerous studies have shown the following:

• congestive heart failure patients treated, produced a relief in chest distress and dispnea
• improvements were also seen with respect to left ventricular modeling, left ventricular end-diastolic volume and left ventricular end-systolic volume and heart rate
• decreased ratio of pre-ejection period/left ventricular ejection time
• increased superoxide dismutase activity of red blood cells
• reduced the liquid peroxidation content of plasma in acute myoardial infarction patients
• successful therapy for ischemic heart disease patients, proving more effective than Nifedipine and Tab
• animal studies point to the efficacy of astragalus as a heart disease therapy as well.

St. John's Wort while widely used in Europe for decades, St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) has received a lot of attention in the U.S. of late as a promising new treatment in the fight against depression, and for good reason. St. John's wort contains hypericin which inhibits monoamine oxiadase, a chemical that is associated with depression. Results from dozens of studies indicate that the herb is an effective alternative to more conventional pharmaceutical approaches that often are accompanied by serious side effects. Dosages in such studies have generally ranged between 100 to 900 mg per day.

As users of the herb have known for centuries, St. John's Wort is, however, far more than simply a remedy for depression. Studies have shown it can reduce the intensity level of enzymatic and non-enzymatic processes of lipid peroxidation of rat liver microsomes in vitro and in vivo. It has demonstrated anti-herpes in vitro. Contemporary research points to the herb's promise as an effective therapy for cancer, AIDS, alcoholism, hepatitis, and insomnia.
