Red Sage Root Tablets, 450 mg active ingredient Tablet size → 16mm * 8mm Active ingredient per tablet → 450 mg Red Sage Root (Salvia miltiorrhiza, Dan Shen) pressed tablets made from the roots What is Red Sage Root (Salvia miltiorrhiza)? With its orchid-like purple flowers and peppermint-like leaves, Red Sage Root is a true eye-catcher. Yet the real treasure of this traditional medicinal plant from the mint family (Lamiaceae) lies hidden underground. Deep in the soil rests the thick, deep-red root of Salvia miltiorrhiza, which plays a major role in its native regions of China and Japan. This perennial herb prefers riverbanks and forested areas. When growing conditions are met, Red Sage can reach a height of up to 80 cm. For the production of our tablets, we follow the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and use only the deep-red roots. These are harvested under strict quality standards, carefully dried, and finely ground before being gently pressed into tablets. One of the most important medicinal plants in TCM In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Red Sage Root holds a special position. Many Eastern doctors and healers even regard it as a universal remedy. This is mainly due to its broad applications in TCM and its long-standing tradition. Classified as slightly cooling and bitter, Red Sage Root is associated with the heart and liver meridians. It is mainly used to support the heart, liver, metabolism, and circulation. In Chinese folk medicine, it is also applied for joint pain, menstrual problems, coughs, and colds. Herbalist Stephen Harrod Buhner describes the plant as having “antioxidative and antibacterial effects” and recommends its use in Lyme disease and related co-infections. Red Sage Root contains valuable compounds such as triterpenes, diterpenes (tanshinones and isotanshinones), flavonoids, phenylpropanoids, tannins, steroids, lignans, and quinones. Red Sage Root Tablets without harmful additives This dietary supplement contains no artificial coloring, no flavoring, no preservatives, no gelatin, no added sugar, no lactose, and no gluten. Red Sage Root Tablet Ingredients IngredientContent per maximum daily dose Red Sage Root – powdered root(Salvia miltiorrhiza, Dan Shen) approx. 4500 mg Also contains 2 common, safe cellulose-based excipients (MCC / HPMC) for tablet form stability (plant-based), plus a very small amount (trace percentage by weight) of the equally common and safe substance magnesium stearate. Recommended Use The maximum daily dose is 10 tablets per day with sufficient liquid, distributed throughout the day. Start with no more than 3 tablets per day and gradually increase over several days until reaching the maximum daily dose. If you experience any discomfort, remain at the lower dosage that feels comfortable for you. Notes Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Japanese Knotweed Tablets, 600 mg active ingredient Japanese Knotweed pressed tablets made from the ground root Tablet size → 20mm * 10mm Active ingredient per tablet → 600mg What is Japanese Knotweed? With its small white flowers and countless leaves, Japanese Knotweed may appear rather unremarkable at first glance, somewhat resembling bamboo. Originally native to Asia, it has since spread across much of the world as one of the most invasive plants. Its rapid spread is due to its extraordinary strength, which even allows it to push through concrete. While the plant prefers riverbanks and streams, it adapts to nearly any location and soil type. When thriving, Japanese Knotweed can grow up to 30 cm per day, demonstrating incredible persistence and displacing nearly everything in its immediate surroundings. For our products, we only use plants that meet our strict purity standards and grow in natural, uncontaminated soil! Japanese Knotweed in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Although Japanese Knotweed has now arrived in the Western world, it is still considered something of a well-kept secret. This plant is packed with nutrients. In addition to flavonoids and resveratrol, Japanese Knotweed provides a wealth of vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamins A, C, and zinc. Resveratrol is best known as a component of red wine, valued for its antioxidant properties and its reputed ability to support heart health and enhance memory. Antioxidants are generally believed to help protect our body’s cells — and Japanese Knotweed’s resveratrol content even surpasses that of grapes. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Japanese Knotweed has been used for over 2000 years. Practitioners especially value its strength and persistence. TCM doctors prescribe it primarily for gentle but effective body cleansing. According to TCM, the body is traversed by a complex network of meridians linked to specific organs such as lungs, heart, and bladder. Japanese Knotweed is believed to act successfully along these meridians, particularly against massive invasions of harmful intruders. These intruders are often invisible to the human eye and can enter the body via air or food. Others prefer intermediate hosts, such as insects living on grass blades and in forests during warm seasons. Through their bite, these intruders can enter the bodies of mammals and cause significant damage. TCM relies on Japanese Knotweed to counteract these effectively. Japanese Knotweed is also well known from the books on Lyme disease by Stephen Harrod Buhner.

Cat’s Claw Tincture (1:4) Cat’s Claw (Uncaria tomentosa, Uña de Gato) tincture made from ground root bark What is Cat’s Claw (Uncaria tomentosa)? Cat’s Claw owes its name to its appearance, as the woody vine bears thorns that closely resemble the claws of a house cat. This climbing plant is primarily found in Colombia, Ecuador, Trinidad, Venezuela, Costa Rica, and many other tropical regions. It thrives especially well in dense forests, where it climbs trees in search of sunlight and can grow to an astonishing height of up to 100 meters. Its shoots carry opposite leaves, and in the spaces between them, slightly sickle-shaped thorns appear, giving the plant its characteristic name. Following the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), we use only the root bark for our products, as this part is believed to hold the highest potential. Because a healthy and sustainable lifestyle is at the core of our philosophy, we always ensure the finest quality of raw materials. Cat’s Claw in Indigenous Traditions and Traditional Chinese Medicine Modern science has succeeded in identifying some of the active compounds of Cat’s Claw. In addition to flavonoids, alkaloids, and triterpenes, it contains a wide spectrum of steroids and other components. This diverse composition helps explain why Uncaria tomentosa has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years. Its alkaloids are considered immune-modulating, triterpenes are thought to help ward off unwanted guests in the body, and flavonoids support the protection of cells against free radicals. Indigenous peoples along the Amazon make extensive use of the plant’s many active ingredients. Uncaria tomentosa is particularly valued there for its anti-inflammatory properties. Shamans and healers traditionally use Cat’s Claw to address chronic inflammation of the respiratory tract and joints. Even so-called “diseases of civilization” in the Western world are treated by Amazonian communities with Cat’s Claw — ranging from joint pain to metabolic imbalances. Even in cases of severe cellular changes, indigenous populations trust in the power of this vine. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Cat’s Claw is used in similar ways. Experienced practitioners apply Uncaria tomentosa not only for the uses mentioned above but also for dizziness and issues related to excessively rapid blood circulation. If you are familiar with the works of Stephen Harrod Buhner, you will know that he recommends Cat’s Claw as one of the key herbs for Lyme disease protocols. Cat’s Claw is a well-established dietary supplement made from the root bark of this South American vine, native particularly to Peru. Cat’s Claw Tincture without harmful additives This dietary supplement contains no artificial colors, no flavors, no added sugars, no lactose, and no gluten.

Indian Star Tablets, 400 mg Active Ingredient Tablet size → 16mm * 8mm Active ingredient per tablet → 400mg Indian Star (Uncaria rhynchophylla, also known as Gouteng) Tablets made from ground leaves and fruits What is Indian Star (Uncaria rhynchophylla)? Behind the melodious name “Indian Star” lies a plant that at first glance appears almost prehistoric. With its greenish-fleshy leaves, white spherical flowers, and hook-shaped appendages, Uncaria rhynchophylla may not seem particularly beautiful. Yet, as is often the case, true beauty comes from within, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) recognized the true value of Indian Star long ago. Thanks to Stephen Harrod Buhner, this healing plant is also gaining more recognition in the Western world. Botanically, this unusual climbing plant belongs to the family of Uncaria lianas and is mainly known in Japan and China under the name Gouteng. Indian Star prefers dense thickets to wind itself up trees. The grasping organs, with which Gouteng clings to trees, play a decisive role in TCM. That is why we use exclusively the claws of Indian Star for the production of our tablets. As always with Phoenix der Lebenskraft, we rely on 100% natural and 0% chemical ingredients. All raw materials come exclusively from valuable organic cultivation. Traditional use and new findings Traditional Chinese Medicine uses Indian Star to calm liver heat and regulate wind. According to TCM, a disturbance of liver energy manifests as inner restlessness, irritability, and insomnia. An excess of wind is said to cause increased mucus formation. When this mucus accumulates in the nerves, it may, in the long term, lead to nerve damage – according to Chinese folk medicine. In the Western world, Indian Star is now receiving more attention. Its rising popularity is due to Stephen Harrod Buhner, who in his book “Healing Lyme Naturally” drew attention to the protective and beneficial properties of Indian Star in relation to neuroborreliosis. According to Buhner, Indian Star possesses neurological anti-inflammatory properties. Indian Star contains valuable constituents such as: hirsutine, hirsuteine, rhynchophylline, isorhynchophylline, corynoxeine, isocorynoxine, tannins, and flavonoids. Indian Star Tablets without harmful additives This dietary supplement contains no artificial colorings, no flavorings, no preservatives, no gelatin, no added sugars, no lactose, and no gluten. Indian Star Tablets Ingredients IngredientContent per maximum daily dose Indian Star – ground claws of the liana(Uncaria rhynchophylla, Gouteng) about 800 mg Additionally, 2 commonly used and safe cellulose excipients with the abbreviations MCC / HPMC for tablet stability, also of purely plant origin, and a very small amount (only a few thousandths by weight) of the likewise common and safe substance magnesium stearate. Indian Star Tablets Recommended Use The maximum dose is 2 (two) tablets per day with sufficient liquid, spread throughout the day. Start intake with no more than 1 tablet per day, and then gradually increase over several days until reaching the maximum daily dose.

Japanese Knotweed Tincture (1:4) Japanese Knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum, Resveratrol) Tincture made from the ground root What is Japanese Knotweed? With its small white flowers and countless leaves, Japanese Knotweed may appear rather unremarkable at first glance, somewhat resembling bamboo. Originally native to Asia, it has since spread across much of the world as one of the most invasive plants. Its rapid spread is due to its extraordinary strength, which even allows it to push through concrete. While the plant prefers riverbanks and streams, it adapts to nearly any location and soil type. When it thrives, Japanese Knotweed can grow up to 30 cm per day, demonstrating incredible persistence and displacing nearly everything in its immediate surroundings. For our products, we only use plants that meet our strict purity standards and grow in natural, uncontaminated soil. Japanese Knotweed in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) In the Western world, Japanese Knotweed has recently begun to attract attention, though it is still considered something of an insider’s tip. This remarkable plant is packed with nutrients, including flavonoids and resveratrol, as well as numerous vitamins and minerals. Particularly noteworthy is its high content of vitamins A, C, and zinc. Resveratrol is widely known as a component of red wine and is valued for its antioxidant properties, which are associated with supporting heart health and enhancing memory function. Antioxidants are generally believed to help protect our body’s cells — and Japanese Knotweed’s resveratrol content even surpasses that of grapes in a striking way. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Japanese Knotweed has been used for over 2000 years and remains highly valued by doctors and practitioners. It is especially appreciated for its strength and ability to gently yet effectively cleanse the body. According to TCM, the body is traversed by a complex system of energy pathways called meridians, each linked to specific organs such as the lungs, heart, and bladder. Japanese Knotweed is believed to act along these meridians, and it is often used against significant invasions of disruptive intruders. These intruders are often invisible to the human eye and can enter the body through air or food. Others prefer an intermediate host, such as insects that thrive in grasses and forests during warm seasons. Through their bite, such intruders can enter the bodies of mammals and cause significant damage. TCM relies on Japanese Knotweed to effectively counteract these invaders. Japanese Knotweed is also well known from the works of Stephen Harrod Buhner on Lyme disease and co-infections.

Siberian Ginseng Alcohol-Free Tincture (1:4) Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) tincture – made from ground roots What is Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus)? Siberian ginseng is often mistakenly associated with true ginseng, although both medicinal plants are completely different and unrelated. As the name suggests, Siberian ginseng originally comes from Siberia and northeastern China. This traditional medicinal plant from the ivy family is also known as Taiga root. The green shrub can grow up to 3 meters tall and bears bluish-black, berry-like fruits that develop from umbel-shaped flowers. The Latin epithet “senticosus” indicates that Siberian ginseng is “rich in thorns.” In the production of our tablets, we combine tradition with modern methods. In line with traditional medicine, we use only ground roots from premium cultivation. These are finely milled and gently pressed into tablets, allowing you to optimally benefit from the valuable components in a practical form. The secret of the “unknown ginseng” In German-speaking regions, Siberian ginseng is known, if at all, under the name “Taiga root” and is still considered something of an insider’s tip. In its homeland, especially in Siberia and China, however, Siberian ginseng has long secured a place in traditional folk medicine. Siberian folk medicine uses Taiga root to help prevent colds and to strengthen general well-being. As an adaptogen, Siberian ginseng is used to enhance resilience, helping people better cope with mental and physical stress. Experienced practitioners in Siberia also prescribe the root to support the musculoskeletal system, normal kidney function, as well as healthy blood sugar and blood pressure levels. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is also convinced of the benefits of Taiga root. It assigns it to the functional systems of the heart, spleen, lungs, liver, and kidneys. According to Far Eastern understanding, Taiga root strengthens the life energy within these systems in a unique way. Similar to Siberian folk medicine, Eleutherococcus senticosus is also used here for persistent fatigue, exhaustion, and to support the immune system.

Red Sage Root Powder Red Sage (Salvia miltiorrhiza) powder made from the roots What is Red Sage Root (Salvia miltiorrhiza)? Red Sage Root, a traditional medicinal plant from the mint family (Lamiaceae), presents itself with orchid-like purple blossoms and peppermint-like leaves, making it a true visual delight. Yet the real treasure of this plant lies hidden underground. Its thick, deep-red root has been highly valued for centuries in its native regions of China and Japan. Red Sage prefers riverbanks and forest habitats and can reach a height of up to 80 cm under optimal conditions. For the production of our tablets, we follow the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and use exclusively the deep-red roots. These are harvested under strict quality standards, carefully dried, finely ground, and then gently processed into tablets. One of the most important medicinal plants in TCM In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Red Sage Root holds a prominent role and is even regarded by many Eastern physicians and therapists as a universal remedy. This reputation is rooted in its long-standing use and wide range of applications in TCM. Classified as slightly cooling and bitter, it is associated with the heart and liver meridians. Therefore, Red Sage is primarily used to support heart function, liver health, metabolism, and circulation. In Chinese folk medicine, it is also employed for joint pain, menstrual discomfort, coughs, and colds. Herbal expert Stephen Harrod Buhner attributes antioxidant and antibacterial properties to Red Sage and recommends it in connection with Lyme disease and its co-infections. Red Sage contains valuable compounds such as triterpenes, diterpenes (tanshinones and isotanshinones), flavonoids, phenylpropanoids, tannins, steroids, lignans, and quinones. Ingredients Red Sage Root (Salvia miltiorrhiza) from the roots Note We offer this powder as a raw plant material (food-grade quality) without any intended use.
Licorice Root Alcohol-Free Tincture (1:4) Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) tincture – made from the ground root What is Licorice? Licorice, a plant from the legume family, is distinguished by its characteristic blossoms, which can range in color from white to bluish-violet. Originally found as a wild plant across Europe, North Africa, Asia, Australia, and both North and South America, licorice prefers loose, humus-rich soil and thrives particularly well in sunny locations. Under optimal conditions, it can grow up to two meters tall and one meter wide. Its robust, fleshy roots penetrate the soil up to one meter deep, while rhizomes spread outward as far as eight meters. Our products are made exclusively from licorice roots, as they contain the broadest spectrum of active compounds. We place the highest importance on purity and sustainability in our raw materials. The long tradition of this healing plant As early as ancient Egypt, licorice was revered and used as a healing plant. Theophrastus of Eresos, in 350 BC, described its remarkable effects on the upper respiratory tract, noting that licorice was effective for conditions ranging from persistent cough to chronic bronchial hypersensitivity. Indigenous peoples of the Americas also appreciated the many benefits of licorice. They used it not only as a sweetener but also valued its roots as a tonic. Licorice was particularly relied upon for digestive issues, toothaches, sore throats, and stomach or intestinal discomfort. For around 3,000 years, licorice has also been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Known as Gan Cao, the sweet roots are primarily employed to strengthen Qi – the life energy that is believed to flow harmoniously through the body. In Ayurveda, licorice root is highly regarded for its cooling and revitalizing properties. Practitioners use it to combat fatigue and to restore balance in the body’s energy centers, with particular influence on the liver, bladder, and lung energies. In the Western world, licorice is best known as the base for licorice candy. Today, its compounds are well-studied, revealing its unique composition. The roots are rich in triterpenoid saponins and contain high concentrations of glycyrrhizin – a natural compound believed to have anti-inflammatory and protective effects, especially for mucous membranes. Other constituents include flavonoids and coumarin. Flavonoids are antioxidants that help the body defend itself, while coumarin is regarded as calming, antispasmodic, and anti-inflammatory. Many people also know licorice from the book “Herbal Antivirals” by Stephen Harrod Buhner.

Kalmegh, also known as Andrographis paniculata, is often referred to as the "King of Bitters". This upright-growing plant, with its numerous leaves and small white flowers, may appear rather modest at first glance. While often considered a weed in Europe, it is highly valued in its native regions of South and Southeast Asia.

Cat’s Claw owes its name to its appearance. On closer inspection, this woody climbing vine bears curved thorns that strongly resemble the claws of a house cat. It is mainly found in Colombia, Ecuador, Trinidad, Venezuela, Costa Rica, and other tropical regions. In its native habitat, Cat’s Claw thrives in dense forest undergrowth. Seeking sunlight, it climbs trees and can reach an astonishing height of up to 100 meters. Along its shoots grow opposite leaves, and between them slightly sickle-shaped thorns emerge, giving the plant its distinctive name. In line with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), we use exclusively the root bark in our products, as this is considered to hold the highest potential. Since a healthy and sustainable lifestyle is central to our philosophy, we always ensure premium quality raw materials. Cat’s Claw in Indigenous Traditions and TCM Modern science has identified some of the key constituents of Cat’s Claw. Alongside flavonoids, alkaloids, and triterpenes, it also contains a wide range of steroids and other compounds. This diverse phytochemical profile helps explain why Uncaria tomentosa has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years. Its alkaloids are thought to support immune modulation, triterpenes may help defend the body against unwanted intruders, and flavonoids are known to protect cells from oxidative stress. Indigenous peoples of the Amazon rainforest have long used Cat’s Claw for its broad spectrum of applications. It is particularly valued for its anti-inflammatory properties and is traditionally used to relieve chronic respiratory and joint inflammation.

Motherwort enchants not only with its melodious name but also with its striking appearance. Along its square, hairy stems grow heart-shaped leaves with a fine fuzz on the underside. Numerous purple, fluffy blossoms are a feast for the eyes. This medicinal herb is native from Europe to Iran and prefers nitrogen-rich soils near walls and fences.

As always with Phönix der Lebenskraft, we source our raw materials exclusively from ecologically valuable cultivation. We ensure the highest quality and purity at all times. Recommended by skilled physicians in the Middle Ages When thinking of the Middle Ages, we often associate it with dirt, disease, and hunger. But despite these negative associations, we should remember that we are descendants of that time – and without the resourcefulness and closeness to nature of the people in the 15th/16th century, we would not be here today. Herbal medicine played a major role in those days, and motherwort was considered one of the most important healing herbs. It was first mentioned in a medical book ("Gart der Gesundheit") in 1485. Renowned physicians such as Paracelsus and Rembert Dodoens prescribed motherwort for various ailments. Paracelsus used it to treat palpitations and cramps in his patients’ limbs. Rembert Dodoens recommended it for melancholy and to strengthen the heart. The population also used motherwort for anxiety and insomnia. Today, we know that motherwort contains a variety of valuable active ingredients, including: Flavonoids Bitter compounds Betaine Ursolic acid Leonurine Choline Essential oils These components make motherwort a true all-rounder, particularly because of its protective effects on the mitochondria – the energy centers in every cell that power our organs, muscles, and joints. To perform their function, mitochondria require protection – a task motherwort fulfills like a true bodyguard, nurturing and shielding them.
