Ingredients:
- Nigella Sativa (Black Cumin): Known for its antifungal properties[i], it combats pathogens including bacteria[ii], viruses[iii], fungi[iv], and yeasts[v], and inhibits cancer cell proliferation[vi]–[vii]–[viii]. It has proven effective against H5N1 (bird flu)[ix]–[x].
- Mentha Spicata (Spearmint): This ingredient offers potent antimicrobial[xi]–[xii] and antioxidant[xiii]–[xiv] properties, effectively combating bacterial infections and providing antioxidant support.
- Mentha Piperita (Peppermint): With bactericidal activity[xv] and the ability to inactivate E. coli[xvi], peppermint is beneficial against bacterial infections including Staphylococcus aureus. It has also been found effective against various viruses, including Avian Influenza Virus (bird flu)[xvii].
- Cyatheales: Shown to support wound healing, antioxidant, HSP70 up-regulation, Bax protein down-regulation and reduce mucus production[xviii]–[xix].
- Dicksoniaceae: has been used worldwide for support against osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, asthma and skin diseases[xx]–[xxi].
- Cyatheaceae: Ferns of the genus Cyathea are often used in traditional medicine for the treatment of skin, kidney, and eye infections and even for degenerative diseases, such as cancer and diabetes[xxii]. It has also been used as an antimicrobial agent against multidrug resistant organisms[xxiii].
