Herbal Dietary Supplement

The Inventor has experimented for years with combinations of herbs for use as dietary supplements. She has discovered such combinations, as claimed herein, with herbs contributing therapeutically to vigorous well being of humans.

This invention relates to herbal dietary supplements as well as to herbal holistic therapeutic products for human ingestion via gums, skin and other cutaneous membranes. More particularly the holistic aspects of this invention deal therapeutically with plaque, gingivitis, gum disorders, cold sores, oral boils, herpes simplex, pimples, acne vulgaris and other disorders susceptible to transcutaneous treatment. As foods, the dietary supplements of this invention are of course eaten. As a holistic therapeutically effective product, the active ingredients are carried in a treatment medium such as a liquid solution, drops, gumdrops, lozenges, chewing gum, breath dots, toothpaste, a skin patch, an oral rinse, a cream, a poultice, a suppository, an inhaler and/or a douche.

Applicant teaches a food product, preferably in liquid form, containing in solution two or more ingredients selected from a group consisting of: mullen leaf, witch hazel, baptisia (wild indigo), marshmallow root (Althea officianales), Potentilla tormentilla, myrrh, agrimony, blood root (sanguinaria), bistort, echinacea, parsley, eucalyptus, wintergreen, rosemary, ginger, sandalwood, sweet almond, sassafrass, linseed oil and castor oil.

The first ten of the ingredients preferably are accessed via herbal tincture media, while the latter ten preferably are accessed in oil forms. Linseed and castor oil preferably are produced by means of cold pressing from their seeds.

The Inventor has discovered that these ingredients act synergistically as dietary supplements to enhance vigorous good health of human beings. When ingested transcutaneously via gums, skin and other cutaneous membranes of humans, these products are useful for reducing plaque and symptoms of gingivitis, gum disorders, cold sores, oral boils, herpes simplex, pimples, acne vulgaris and other disorders susceptible therapeutically to transcutaneous treatment.

When used holistically the ingredients preferably are carried in a treatment medium such as a liquid solution, drops, gumdrops, lozenges, chewing gum, breath dots, toothpaste, a skin patch, an oral rinse, a cream, a poultice, a suppository, an inhaler and/or a douche.

The foregoing and other features and advantages of Applicant's teaching will be understood more fully from discussion of her products and methods of preparation thereof. Modern technology makes it possible to extract more efficiently beneficial substances from leaves, roots and flowers of plants, reducing acrid or toxic aspects thereof. Such technology increases the number of natural ingredients now available from sources once very difficult to isolate.

Mullen leaves, witch hazel, baptisia (wild indigo), marshmallow roots (althea officianales), Potentilla tormentilla, myrrh, agrimony, blood root (sanguinaria), bistort and eschinacea are all preferably extracted as tinctures in ethyl alcohol.

Parsley, eucalyptus, wintergreen, rosemary, giner, sandalwood, sweet almond and sassafrass are pressed and distilled in oil form. Linseed and castor are cold pressed from their seed.

Applicant selects at least two (2) up to all of the ingredients and combines them in various portions, according to taste and purpose.

Applicant's products are dietary supplements whereby they are eaten and digested.

It will be understood by those familiar with herbs, with their processing and with various percutaneous delivery mechanisms here involved that wide deviations ma be made in the foregoing disclosure without departing from a main theme of invention as set forth in claims which follow. By way of example and not limitation, some of the herbs preferably accessed as tinctures may be accessed as oils and vice versa.
