Rhodiola Root Powder Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) powder made from the roots What is Rhodiola? The fragrant medicinal plant with its melodious name was long forgotten in Central Europe, although Rhodiola has played a significant role here since the 17th century. Rhodiola rosea, belonging to the Crassulaceae family, is mainly found in arctic regions and mountainous areas of Eurasia. The plant, which reaches a maximum height of 35 cm, is easily recognized as a succulent thanks to its characteristic leaves. Its small flowers grow in dense clusters and exude a captivating fragrance that clearly reveals its kinship with roses. Both the roots and stems release a rose-like aroma when cut, giving Rhodiola its name “rose root.” For the production of our powders and tablets, we rely on the traditional knowledge of Nordic folk medicine and use only finely ground Rhodiola roots. A large portion of these roots comes from wild collection in Russia, but we strive to source from controlled cultivation whenever possible to protect the wild populations. Because for us, not only your well-being but also the health of our planet matters. The forgotten adaptogen In Scandinavia and Russia, Rhodiola has long been regarded as an extraordinary adaptogen. Adaptogens are plants that gently yet effectively influence the body’s stress response and may help the organism develop greater resilience. In Siberia, Rhodiola is even called the “golden root,” underlining its high esteem. In Nordic folk medicine, the herb has been used to enhance cognitive performance and memory and is also believed to support vitality and potency. The indigenous peoples of the Altai Mountains have also treasured Rhodiola, using it especially for persistent fatigue, weakness, and to support both mental and physical performance. This knowledge was once present in German-speaking regions as well. Rhodiola is mentioned in Leonhard Fuchs’ herbal book as an important tonic and an effective remedy for headaches. Rhodiola contains valuable constituents such as phenolic glycosides (e.g. salidroside and rosavin, tyrosol), phytamines, tannins, flavonoids, organic acids, phytosterols, polysaccharides, and essential oils. Ingredients Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) root powder Note We offer this powder as a plant-based raw material (food grade) without any specific intended use.

Baikal Skullcap Tablets, 480 mg active ingredient Baikal Skullcap made from ground root Tablet size → 16mm * 8mm Active ingredient per tablet → 480 mg What is Baikal Skullcap? Baikal Skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis) is one of the most important plants in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It is also highly valued among indigenous communities, not just for its unique appearance. With its vibrant green leaves and purple flowers, it is truly a visual delight. The flower shape is likely the reason for its name, as they resemble tiny helmets from ancient times, evoking the image of gentle little soldiers. The plant grows to about 30 cm tall and has specific environmental preferences. It thrives along rocky coasts, river plains, and streams. Frost and cold do not bother Baikal Skullcap, allowing it to flourish even in the harsh winters of Siberia. Wild forms are primarily found in China, Japan, Korea, and Mongolia. We only use the roots in our products because they contain a much higher concentration of active compounds compared to other parts of the plant. As always with Phönix der Lebenskraft, we place great importance on the absolute purity and sustainability of our raw materials. That’s why we only use plants that meet our strict quality standards! Baikal Skullcap in Traditional Chinese Medicine Baikal Skullcap has been used successfully in TCM for over 2,000 years. Skilled practitioners in Asia value this plant especially for its versatility. In TCM, all plants and foods are classified based on their properties. Baikal Skullcap is considered bitter and cold. People in Asia rely on its ability to expel heat of any kind from the body. This “heat” is believed to arise when the body attempts to free itself from internal imbalances. According to TCM, Baikal Skullcap helps the body fend off unwelcome invaders. Like a reliable doorman or soldier, the plant protects the body from invasions—preventing intruders from entering cells or politely showing them the door if they manage to get in. This allows the body to regain internal balance. Many studies in the Western world are now exploring the full range of benefits of Baikal Skullcap. Most focus on the plant’s unique composition of valuable compounds. The roots are rich in resins, tannins, essential oils, and flavonoids. Of particular interest is the plant’s high melatonin content. While melatonin was once believed to occur only in humans and animals, we now know that many plants contain it—and Baikal Skullcap stands out with one of the highest concentrations. This is important because melatonin plays a vital role in regulating sleep and circadian rhythm. Its antioxidant properties also help repair and protect other molecules in your body. Any melatonin that the body doesn’t use is converted into serotonin—commonly known as the “happiness hormone”—which contributes to overall joy and well-being. Baikal Skullcap is also known from the book “HERBAL ANTIVIRALS” by Stephen Harrod Buhner. Baikal Skullcap – Free from Harmful Additives This dietary supplement contains no artificial coloring, no flavorings, no preservatives, no gelatin, no added sugars, no lactose, and no gluten. Ingredients IngredientAmount per daily dose Baikal Skullcap – ground root (Scutellaria baicalensis) approx. 2400 mg Also includes 2 commonly used and safe cellulose-based excipients (MCC / HPMC) to maintain tablet form—both of 100% plant origin—plus a very small amount (only a few thousandths by weight) of magnesium stearate, which is also a widely used and harmless substance. Recommended Use Take 5 tablets daily with sufficient liquid. Do not take all 5 tablets at once. Instead, divide them throughout the day—for example, 2 in the morning, 2 at midday, and 1 in the evening. It’s generally recommended to take them before meals rather than with or directly after food. However, this guideline doesn’t have to be followed strictly. Another option is to take 1 tablet five times a day—morning, late morning, midday, afternoon, and evening—with roughly 2–3 hour intervals. Notes Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Store in a cool, dry place and out of reach of children. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

Ginseng Pulver Ginseng (Panax Ginseng) Pulver hergestellt aus den Wurzeln Was ist Ginseng? Ginseng ist auch hierzulande längst kein unbeschriebenes Blatt mehr. Auch wenn die bewährte Heilpflanze noch immer nicht das Ansehen genießt, dass ihr gebührt, werden in der traditionellen chinesischen Medizin ihre Wurzeln nämlich seit über 4700 Jahren erfolgreich genutzt. Entdeckt wurde das „königliche Kraut“ vom damaligen chinesischen Kaiser Shen Nung und seinen Ärzten. Sie waren überzeugt, dass die Wurzel ein Allesheiler ist. Dies erklärt auch den griechischen Pflanzennamen Panax Ginseng – einer Ableitung von „Panacea“ (die alles heilende Göttin).Da Ginseng schon zur damaligen Zeit selten zu finden war, galten die Wurzeln kurzerhand als Geschenk der Götter, das lediglich dem Kaiserhaus vorbehalten war. Das einfache Volk kam vorerst nicht in den Genuss „des regenerierenden Elixiers“.Zu finden ist die mehrjährige Pflanze übrigens nicht nur in China, sondern auch in Korea und Sibirien. Das Araliengewächs bevorzugt dabei Misch- und sommergrüne Laubwälder. Die Wuchshöhe variiert zwischen 30 und 60 cm. Zu erkennen ist die Heilpflanze an ihren doldigen Blütenständen, an denen weißlich-grüne Blüten wachsen. Für medizinische Zwecke wird allerdings lediglich der Wurzelstock mit seinen spindelförmigen oder zylindrischen Wurzeln genutzt.Der Wildbestand des Ginsengs ist inzwischen leider noch mehr zurückgegangen. Angesichts dessen verwenden wir für die Herstellung unserer Tinktur ausschließlich Wurzeln aus kontrolliertem Anbau, um Ressourcen zu schonen.Die natürlich angebauten Gisengwurzeln werden nach strengen Qualitätskriterien geerntet, sorgfältig getrocknet und mit Alkohol extrahiert. Heraus kommt eine absolut reine Tinktur, die unserem hohen Qualitätsanspruch gerecht wird. Wertvoller als Gold In der chinesischen Volksheilkunde galt Ginseng nicht aufgrund des geringen Bestandes als unglaublich wertvoll. Auch seine Eigenschaften macht die Heilpflanze in der TCM so beliebt. Bis zum heutigen Tag gilt die Wurzel als Sinnbild für ein langes und glückliches Leben. Nicht nur chinesische Therapeuten, sondern auch die Bevölkerung ist überzeugt: Ginseng ermöglicht körperliche, geistige und emotionale Beweglichkeit bis ins hohe Alter. Doch nicht nur als prophylaktisches Mittel wird die Heilpflanze in Fernost genutzt. Auch bei emotionaler Verstimmung, Konzentrationsproblemen, Ängsten, chronischem Husten und Schnupfen kommt die Wurzel zum Einsatz. Inzwischen weiß übrigens auch unsere westliche Wissenschaft, dass Ginseng viele Besonderheiten besitzt. Als sogenanntes Adaptogen wirkt es ausgleichend auf Körper, Seele und Geist. Adaptogene sind nämlich dazu in der Lage, in den Stresskreislauf einzugreifen und seine Auswirkungen auf körperlicher und emotionaler Ebene auszugleichen. Das Tolle an diesen „Ausgleichspflanzen“ ist ihre Fähigkeit, auch bei zu wenig innerem Antrieb aktiv zu werden. Wir Menschen kippen ja gerne einmal in das eine oder andere Extrem: Entweder treiben wir uns selbst zu extremen Höchstleistungen an oder wir ziehen uns in unser Schneckenhaus zurück. In beiden Fällen gilt Ginseng in der TCM als wirksames Elixier. Im Übrigen hat die Wurzel (laut der TCM) auch einen positiven Einfluss auf die Milz-, Lungen- und Nierenmeridiane. Ginseng enthält wertvolle Inhaltsstoffe, wie:Ginsenoide (vorwiegend Rb 0, Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd, Rg1), Peptidoglykane, ätherische Öle, Fettsäuren, Phytosterole, Aminosäuren, Vitamine, Mineralstoffe Inhaltsstoffe Ginseng (Panax Ginseng), Wurzeln Hinweis Wir bieten das Pulver als pflanzlichen Rohstoff (in Lebensmittelqualität) ohne Zweckbestimmung an.

Chinese Angelica Tablets, 500 mg Active Ingredient Tablet size → 16mm * 8mm Active ingredient per tablet → 500mg Chinese Angelica (Angelica sinensis) tablets made from ground roots What is Chinese Angelica (Angelica sinensis)? Known as Dong Quai, Chinese Angelica has been a key remedy in women's health since the early days of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The nickname “female ginseng” already points to its main areas of application in TCM. This member of the celery family is primarily found in central and western China. At first glance, Angelica sinensis may appear rather modest despite its impressive height of up to one meter. With its compound umbels and greenish-white flowers, the plant might be mistaken for an ordinary weed in Chinese forests and meadows—at least from a European perspective. But that wouldn’t do it justice. As with many things in life, the real power lies hidden. Its aromatic and sweet-spicy roots are the true treasure. At Phönix der Lebenskraft, we make use of this ancient knowledge and work exclusively with Angelica sinensis roots – always in the highest quality. More Than Just a Women’s Remedy The first written reference to Dong Quai dates back to 2800 BCE. It has been successfully used in TCM ever since – and perhaps even longer. Experienced practitioners often recommend the roots to support hormonal balance, menstruation, and menopause. Since TCM associates Dong Quai strongly with the blood, its main applications are self-evident. It is believed to strengthen, nourish, and activate the blood. That’s why it’s often used for symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, and discomfort – which, in traditional Chinese medicine, are attributed to blood deficiency. In TCM, Angelica sinensis is classified as warm, sweet, and pungent and is assigned to the functional systems of liver, heart, and spleen. Other areas of application include pain, allergies, boils, abscesses, and constipation. Chinese Angelica contains valuable compounds such as: essential oils, tannins, bitter iridoids, coumarins, ferulic acid, lactones, polyacetylenes, phytosterols, tannins, valeric acid, vitamin A, vitamin B12, vitamin E, and niacin. Chinese Angelica Tablets – Free from Harmful Additives This dietary supplement contains no artificial colors, no flavorings, no preservatives, no gelatin, no added sugars, no lactose, and no gluten. Chinese Angelica Tablet Ingredients IngredientAmount per maximum daily dose Chinese Angelica – ground root (Angelica sinensis) approx. 1500 mg Also includes two common and harmless cellulose-based excipients (MCC / HPMC) for tablet form stability – entirely plant-based – and a very small amount (only a few parts per thousand by weight) of magnesium stearate, also widely accepted and harmless. Recommended Dosage The maximum recommended dosage is 3 (three) tablets per day, taken with sufficient liquid and spread throughout the day. Start with a maximum of 1 tablet per day and gradually increase over several days to the full daily dose. If you experience any discomfort, reduce the dosage to the previous level. Important Notes Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Store protected from heat, dry, and always out of reach of children. The recommended daily intake should not be exceeded. Important: Do not use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or while taking blood-thinning medications.

Chinese Angelica Root Powder Chinese Angelica (Angelica sinensis) Powder made from the root What is Chinese Angelica? Chinese Angelica, also known as Dong Quai, has long been a cornerstone of women’s health in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Its nickname, the “female ginseng,” already hints at its primary applications within TCM. This plant from the Apiaceae family is native to central and western China. Although it can grow impressively tall—up to one meter—its appearance might seem rather ordinary to the untrained European eye. Its compound umbels and greenish-white flowers could easily be mistaken for a common weed in Chinese forests and meadows. But that would do the Chinese Angelica a great disservice. Its true strength lies hidden beneath the surface, invisible to the eye but clearly noticeable in its effects. The aromatic and sweet-spicy roots are the true gem of this plant. At Phönix der Lebenskraft, we draw on this centuries-old knowledge and use only the high-quality roots of Angelica sinensis in our products. More Than Just a Women’s Remedy The first written record of Dong Quai dates back to 2800 BCE. Since that time—perhaps even earlier—this healing plant has been successfully used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Experienced practitioners prescribe the root especially for hormonal imbalances, menstrual complaints, and during menopause. Since Dong Quai is closely associated with the blood in TCM, its primary applications are obvious. It is believed that Chinese Angelica strengthens, nourishes, and stimulates the blood. It is therefore used for symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and general discomfort—conditions believed in Chinese medicine to be caused by blood deficiency. In TCM, Angelica sinensis is classified as warm, sweet, and pungent, and is associated with the liver, heart, and spleen organ systems. Other traditional uses include pain, allergies, boils, abscesses, and constipation. Chinese Angelica contains a wide array of valuable compounds, including essential oils, tannins, bitter iridoids, coumarins, ferulic acid, lactones, polyacetylenes, phytosterols, tannins, valeric acid, and the vitamins A, B12, E, and niacin. Ingredients Chinese Angelica (Angelica sinensis), root of the plant Note We offer this powder as a plant-based raw material (in food-grade quality) without specific intended use.

Rhodiola Tincture (1 : 4) Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) tincture made from the roots What is Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea)? The fragrant medicinal plant with its melodious name had long fallen into obscurity in Central Europe, even though Rhodiola already played an important role here in the 17th century. Rhodiola rosea, from the Crassulaceae family, is mainly found in arctic regions and the mountain ranges of Eurasia. The small plant, with a maximum height of 35 cm, is easily recognized as a succulent due to its characteristic leaves. Its tiny clustered flowers exude a delightful fragrance that highlights its botanical kinship. Not only the flowers please our senses – when cut, both the roots and above-ground stems release a rose-like scent. This is also the origin of the plant’s name “rose root.” For the production of our tinctures, we rely on the traditional knowledge of Nordic folk medicine and use only finely ground roots. These are largely sourced from wild collections in Russia. However, we strive to obtain all raw materials from controlled cultivation in order to protect the wild Rhodiola population. Because for us, not only your well-being but also the health of our planet is important. The forgotten adaptogen In Scandinavia as well as in Russia, Rhodiola has long been considered an exceptional adaptogen. Adaptogens are plants that gently yet sustainably influence the body’s stress response and help the organism develop better stress tolerance. In Siberia, Rhodiola is referred to as the “golden root,” underscoring its high importance. In Nordic folk medicine, the herb has been used to enhance concentration and memory performance and is also said to be helpful for vitality and potency concerns. The indigenous people of the Altai region also valued Rhodiola highly, using it especially for persistent fatigue, weakness, and to support mental and physical strength. This knowledge was also present in German-speaking regions. Rhodiola already appears in Leonhard Fuchs’ herbal book as an important tonic and trusted remedy for headaches. Rhodiola contains valuable compounds such as phenolic glycosides (e.g. salidroside and rosavin, tyrosol), phytamines, tannins, flavonoids, organic acids, phytosterols, polysaccharides, and essential oils.

Ginseng Tincture (1 : 4) Ginseng (Panax ginseng) tincture made from the rhizome What is Ginseng Tincture (Panax ginseng)? By now, ginseng is no longer an unknown remedy in Europe, although this revered medicinal root still does not enjoy the recognition it deserves. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), ginseng roots have been used successfully for more than 4,700 years. The “royal herb” was first discovered by the Chinese Emperor Shen Nung and his physicians, who believed the root to be a universal healer. This is also reflected in its Greek botanical name Panax ginseng, derived from “Panacea,” the goddess of healing. Because wild ginseng was already rare in ancient times, the roots were considered a divine gift, reserved only for the imperial family. Ordinary people had no access to this “rejuvenating elixir.” The perennial plant is found not only in China but also in Korea and Siberia. Belonging to the Araliaceae family, ginseng prefers mixed and deciduous forests. It grows 30–60 cm tall and is recognizable by its umbels of whitish-green flowers. For medicinal purposes, however, only the rootstock with its spindle-shaped or cylindrical roots is used. Since wild populations of ginseng have declined even further, we use only roots from controlled cultivation for our tincture in order to preserve natural resources. These naturally grown ginseng roots are harvested under strict quality standards, carefully dried, and extracted with alcohol, resulting in a pure tincture that meets our high standards of quality. A traditional tonic in TCM In Chinese folk medicine, ginseng was considered highly valuable not only because of its rarity but also because of its remarkable properties. To this day, the root symbolizes longevity and vitality. Both TCM practitioners and the population at large are convinced that ginseng supports physical, mental, and emotional flexibility into old age. Beyond its use as a tonic, it has traditionally been applied for mood imbalances, concentration problems, anxiety, as well as chronic coughs and colds. Modern science now recognizes that ginseng possesses many beneficial qualities. As an adaptogen, it helps balance body, mind, and spirit by regulating the stress response and mitigating its effects both physically and emotionally. Remarkably, ginseng can also provide energy when motivation is lacking, making it a versatile plant for those caught between exhaustion and overexertion. In TCM, it is also believed to positively influence the spleen, lung, and kidney meridians. Panax ginseng contains valuable compounds such as: Ginsenosides (mainly Rb0, Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd, Rg1), peptidoglycans, essential oils, fatty acids, phytosterols, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Ginseng Tincture without unnecessary additives This dietary supplement contains no artificial colors, no flavorings, no added sugar, no lactose, and no gluten.

Ashwagandha Tablets, 450 mg Active Ingredient Tablet size → 16mm * 8mm Active ingredient per tablet → 450mg What is Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)? Ashwagandha is considered the favorite plant of Ayurvedic medicine. Its status is comparable to that of ginseng in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), earning it the nickname “Indian Ginseng.” The origin of this nightshade plant is believed to be in Africa. However, Indian ginseng is also native to Pakistan, China, the Mediterranean region, and India. The herbaceous shrub can grow up to 2 meters tall and closely resembles the well-known Physalis with its oval leaves and cherry-like flowers. However, one should not make the mistake of eating the hard red berries — they are inedible. Our Ashwagandha tablets are produced in line with Ayurvedic principles. We use only Ashwagandha roots from ecologically sustainable cultivation. These are carefully chopped, gently dried, and finely ground. Only after all steps have passed our strict quality control are the raw materials gently pressed into tablets. THE Tonic of Ayurveda Ashwagandha has been successfully used in Ayurveda for over 3,000 years and continues to play a vital role. Especially in cases of fatigue and for boosting life energy, Indian ginseng is considered the most important strengthening herb and is assigned to the so-called Sattva type. This personality type is characterized by knowledge, purity, inner contentment, and joy. Ayurvedic medicine believes that Ashwagandha can uniquely awaken and enhance these positive traits in every person. Even those not seeking personal development can benefit from Indian ginseng, according to Ayurveda. This strengthening remedy is also used by experienced therapists for chronic fatigue, sleep disturbances, and to calm the mind. Especially in cases of sleep issues, traditional medicine swears by Ashwagandha, which is why it is also called the “sleep cherry.” Withania somnifera contains valuable compounds such as: alkaloids like anaferine, anahygrine, cuscohygrine, nicotine, tropine, and withasomnine. Withanolides such as somniferanolide, somniwithanolide, withaferin A, and withasomniferanolide. Effective Compounds of Ashwagandha The physiologically relevant main compounds in the Ashwagandha root used here are primarily steroidal alkaloids and lactones, including: Whitanin, Whitaninin, Pseudowhitanin, Somnin, Somniferin, Somniferinin, Tropine, Pseudotropine, so-called Ashwagandhanolides, Cuscowhygrin, Anaferin, Anhydrine, Sitoindoside 7/8, among others. Ashwagandha without questionable additives: This dietary supplement contains no artificial coloring, no flavoring, no preservatives, no gelatin, no added sugars, no lactose, and no gluten. Ingredients IngredientAmount per Daily DoseInfo Ashwagandha Root (Withania somnifera) approx. 1350 mg Organic raw material Includes two commonly used and safe cellulose-based excipients labeled MCC / HPMC for tablet stability, both of plant origin, as well as a very small amount (just a few parts per thousand by weight) of the equally common and safe substance magnesium stearate. Recommended Usage Take one tablet three times a day with plenty of water. Ideally, take the tablets before meals. It is better not to take all three tablets at once but spread them throughout the day (e.g., one in the morning, one at midday, and one in the evening) with sufficient water. Taking the tablets with or shortly after meals is generally not recommended; taking them before meals is preferable. However, this is not a strict rule. Important Information Ashwagandha tablets may cause drowsiness — as the German name “Schlafbeeren” (sleep berries) suggests. If you notice this side effect, it is best to take the three tablets in the evening, ideally before a light meal. Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Store in a cool, dry place out of reach of children. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

Valerian Alcohol-Free Tincture (1:4) Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) Tincture made from the root Valerian is a well-established dietary supplement made from the dried root of the valerian plant, which is native to Central Europe and also commonly known as a tea herb. What is Valerian (Valeriana officinalis)? Valerian, also known as cat’s herb, has an enchanting scent that has a magical attraction to cats. With its reddish-white flowers, the plant may seem ordinary at first glance, but it is native to Europe and Asia, where it typically grows in forests, damp meadows, and along riverbanks. For our products, we use only valerian roots from high-quality organic cultivation. Our tablets are easy and pleasant to take. A Remedy with a Long Tradition Valerian was already held in high regard in ancient times and considered a universal remedy. In the Middle Ages, its roots were known as the most effective treatment for pain, respiratory issues, and eye ailments. The famous herbalist Sebastian Kneipp also swore by the power of this healing plant and included it in his 1894 plant atlas. Kneipp listed the following conditions that valerian could support: “Chest, abdominal, and headaches, stomach upset, chronic respiratory issues, nervous dizziness, and sleep disorders.” The calming effects of the valerian root are primarily attributed to its content of sesquiterpenes and valeric acid. Sesquiterpenes support the function of GABA receptors within nerve cells, promoting relaxation and having a soothing effect on the body.

Chinese Angelica Alcohol-Free Tincture (1:4) Chinese Angelica (Angelica sinensis) tincture – made from ground roots What is Chinese Angelica (Angelica sinensis)? Chinese Angelica, also known as Dong Quai, has long been a key element of women’s health care in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Its nickname, “female ginseng,” already hints at its primary areas of application. This member of the Apiaceae family is primarily found in central and western China. At first glance, Angelica sinensis may seem rather inconspicuous, despite growing up to one meter tall. With its compound umbels and greenish-white flowers, it might be mistaken for an ordinary weed by European eyes, commonly found in Chinese forests and meadows. But this impression is misleading—its true strength lies hidden beneath the surface. The aromatic, sweet-spicy roots are highly valued and remarkably potent. At Phönix der Lebenskraft, we draw on this ancient wisdom and use only the high-quality roots of Angelica sinensis in our products. More Than “Just” a Women’s Herb The use of Dong Quai dates back to around 2800 BCE, long before the beginning of the common era. Since then—and possibly even earlier—it has been successfully applied in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Experienced therapists recommend the root especially for hormonal imbalances, menstrual issues, and during menopause. In TCM, Dong Quai is associated with the blood, believed to strengthen, nourish, and keep it moving. This makes the herb a popular choice for addressing symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, and general discomfort, which are traditionally attributed to blood deficiency. Angelica sinensis is classified as warm, sweet, and pungent in TCM, and is assigned to the functional systems of the liver, heart, and spleen. Other traditional uses in Chinese folk medicine include pain, allergies, boils, abscesses, and constipation. Chinese Angelica contains valuable active compounds, including essential oils, tannins, bitter iridoids, coumarins, ferulic acid, lactones, polyacetylenes, phytosterols, tannins, valeric acid, and vitamins A, B12, E, and niacin. Chinese Angelica Glycerin Tincture – Free from Harmful Additives This dietary supplement contains no artificial colors, no flavorings, no added sugars, no lactose, and no gluten. Chinese Angelica Tincture Ingredients IngredientAmount per maximum daily dose Chinese Angelica – ground root (Angelica sinensis) approx. 1500 mg Extraction agent: plant-based glycerin approx. 6 g Also contains traces of acetic acid from organic apple cider vinegar (under 1%) and purified water.

Rhodiola Alcohol-Free Tincture (1 : 4) Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) tincture – made from the roots What is Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea)? The fragrant medicinal plant with its melodious name had long fallen into obscurity in Central Europe, even though Rhodiola played an important role here as early as the 17th century. Rhodiola rosea, belonging to the Crassulaceae family, is primarily found in arctic regions and mountainous areas of Eurasia. The small plant reaches a maximum height of 35 cm and can easily be recognized as a succulent thanks to its distinctive leaves. Its tiny clustered flowers exude a wonderful scent, further revealing its botanical kinship. But it is not only the flowers that delight the senses – when cut, both the roots and the above-ground stems release a rose-like fragrance, giving the plant its name “rose root.” For the production of our tinctures, we follow the traditional knowledge of Nordic folk medicine and use only finely ground roots. Most of these are sourced from wild collections in Russia. However, we strive to obtain all raw materials from controlled cultivation in order to preserve wild Rhodiola populations. Because for us, not only your well-being but also the health of our planet matters. The forgotten adaptogen In Scandinavia and Russia, Rhodiola has always been regarded as an extraordinary adaptogen. Adaptogens are plants that gently yet effectively influence the body’s stress response and help the organism build better resilience. In Siberia, Rhodiola is even called the “golden root,” highlighting its high value. In Nordic folk medicine, the herb has been used to enhance concentration and memory and was also applied in cases of vitality and potency concerns. The indigenous peoples of the Altai mountains also valued Rhodiola highly, using it primarily against persistent fatigue, weakness, and to support both mental and physical strength. This knowledge was also present in German-speaking regions. Rhodiola is mentioned in Leonhard Fuchs’ herbal book as an important tonic and a trusted helper against headaches. Rhodiola contains a wide range of valuable constituents, including phenolic glycosides such as salidroside and rosavin, tyrosol, phytamines, tannins, flavonoids, organic acids, phytosterols, polysaccharides, and essential oils. Rhodiola Glycerin Tincture without questionable additives This dietary supplement contains no artificial coloring, no flavoring, no added sugars, no lactose, and no gluten. Rhodiola Tincture Ingredients IngredientContent per maximum daily dose Rhodiola root – dried (Rhodiola rosea) approx. 800 mg Extractant: plant-based glycerin approx. 4 g Additionally contains traces of acetic acid from organic apple vinegar (under 1%) and pure water.

Maca Tablets, 450 mg active ingredient Tablet size → 16 mm * 8 mm Active ingredient per tablet → 450 mg What is Maca (Lepidium meyenii / Lepidium peruvianum)? In recent years, Maca has also gained attention in Europe. But what exactly is behind this name? It is the root of a cress plant originally native to Peru. This medicinal plant thrives best at altitudes of up to 4000 meters in the Andes. Under these extreme conditions – strong winds, cold, and intense UV radiation – Maca develops its full potential. At only about 20 cm in height, the plant grows close to the ground, and its true treasure lies in its root. The stem gradually transforms into a tuber, where the plant stores not only water but also a wealth of nutrients. At first glance, the Maca root looks much like a turnip. From the tuber sprout feathery leaves, which are used by the local Peruvian population as food, often eaten as a salad. The Sacred Plant of the Indigenous People For the people of Peru, Maca has always been an essential part of life. For over 2000 years, it has been valued both as food and medicine. Even the Inca appreciated its powerful effects when they built the legendary city of “Machu Picchu” in the 15th century. To this day, indigenous communities value Maca especially for its strengthening properties. In traditional Peruvian medicine, the root has been used for arthritic pain, respiratory issues, and for supporting hormonal balance. Women in particular use Maca from midlife onwards, as it is believed to help with resilience, mood swings, and energy levels during the natural transition that begins around age 40. For our products, we use only high-quality Maca roots that meet strict quality standards, ensuring that you receive only biologically valuable Maca. What’s inside: The Maca tuber provides a rich abundance of nutrients. It contains proteins, carbohydrates, and essential micronutrients such as zinc, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin C, and vitamin B3. It also contains a wide variety of secondary plant compounds, including glucosinolates (mustard oil glycosides) and natural plant sterols. Maca Tablets without unnecessary additives This dietary supplement contains no artificial colors, no flavorings, no preservatives, no gelatin, no added sugar, no lactose, and no gluten. Ingredients IngredientContent per daily doseInfo Maca – powdered root tuber(Lepidium meyenii / peruvianum) approx. 3150 mg Organic raw material Also contains 2 common and safe cellulose excipients with the abbreviations MCC / HPMC, used for tablet stability (plant-based), and a very small amount (just a few thousandths by weight) of the common, harmless substance magnesium stearate. Recommended Use Take 7 tablets daily with sufficient liquid. Notes Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Store protected from heat, in a dry place, and out of the reach of children. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.

Guarana Tablets, 600 mg Active Ingredient Guarana tablets made from ground fruit seeds Tablet size → 20mm * 10mm Active ingredient per tablet → 600mg What is Guarana (Paullinia cupana)? Guarana is a climbing plant originally native to the South American rainforest. More precisely, it is a type of liana that belongs to the soapberry family. The plant can grow up to 10 meters high and thrives in warm, humid climates. Its whitish-yellow flowers develop into red fruits containing a black seed. This seed holds so much power that, as it grows, it often bursts through the red fruit shell. Indigenous Amazonian tribes call this seed “Wara,” meaning “fruit of youth.” We use only fruit seeds from natural, untreated cultivation in our products. Purity and quality are our top priorities. Small but mighty! The people of South America have valued guarana’s power for centuries. Ground guarana seeds were especially essential during multi-day hunting trips, serving as a vital energy reserve. The indigenous people particularly appreciated guarana’s ability to support focus and alertness in a pleasant way. They reported a special sense of well-being and clarity that lasted even in difficult situations. In its homeland, guarana is not only used as a tonic. Local healers also rely on it to help rebalance the digestive system and regulate body temperature. What’s inside? The rainforest plant stands out for its high content of caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine. All three are known in the Western world as stimulants. Unlike coffee, however, the caffeine in guarana is released slowly—thanks to its high tannin content, which binds the caffeine. These tannins must first be broken down before the caffeine is released, allowing it to remain in the body for up to six hours and providing a steady energy boost. This is particularly gentle on the stomach lining and avoids the typical “crash” often experienced with coffee. Guarana Tablets – Free from Undesirable Additives This dietary supplement contains no artificial colors, no flavorings, no preservatives, no gelatin, no added sugar, no lactose, and no gluten. Ingredients IngredientAmount per daily dose Guarana – ground fruit seeds without additives(Paullinia cupana / sorbilis) approx. 2400 mg Also includes two commonly used and safe cellulose-based binders (MCC / HPMC) for tablet stability—both of plant origin—as well as a very small amount (only a few per mille by weight) of the equally common and safe substance magnesium stearate. Recommended Use Take 4 tablets daily with sufficient liquid. Important Information Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet or a healthy lifestyle. Store in a cool, dry place and out of reach of children. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.

What is Valerian (Valeriana officinalis)? Anyone who has ever smelled valerian root will not forget it easily. Its intoxicating scent has a magical attraction for cats, which is why the plant is often referred to as "cat’s herb." Aside from its unique scent, the plant with its reddish-white flowers may seem quite ordinary at first glance.

Chinese Angelica Tincture (1:4) Chinese Angelica (Angelica sinensis) tincture made from ground roots What is Chinese Angelica (Angelica sinensis)? Known as Dong Quai, Chinese Angelica has been an integral part of women’s health care since the very beginning of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The primary areas of application are already hinted at by its nickname, “female ginseng.” This member of the Apiaceae family is mainly found in central and western China. At first glance, Angelica sinensis may seem inconspicuous, despite its impressive height of up to one meter. With its compound umbels and greenish-white flowers, it may appear to be nothing more than a weed in Chinese forests and meadows—at least from a European perspective. But that impression falls far short of doing this medicinal plant justice. As is often the case, true strength lies beneath the surface, hidden from the eye yet clearly felt. Its aromatic, sweet-spicy roots are where the plant’s powerful properties reside. At Phönix der Lebenskraft, we draw on this ancient knowledge and use only the roots of Angelica sinensis—naturally of the highest quality. More Than “Just” a Women’s Herb The first written reference to Dong Quai dates back to 2800 BCE, long before our era began. For at least that long—and possibly even longer—this healing plant has been used effectively in TCM. Experienced practitioners mainly prescribe the root for hormonal imbalances, menstrual complaints, and during menopause. As Dong Quai is believed to have a strong connection to the blood in TCM, its main areas of application are quite clear. Chinese Angelica is thought to strengthen, nourish, and move the blood. Therefore, it is also used for symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, and general discomfort, which are attributed to blood deficiency in traditional Chinese folk medicine. In TCM, Angelica sinensis is classified as warm, sweet, and pungent and is associated with the functional systems of the liver, heart, and spleen. Additional applications in Chinese folk medicine include pain, allergies, boils, abscesses, and constipation. Chinese Angelica contains valuable compounds such as: essential oils, tannins, bitter iridoids, coumarins, ferulic acid, lactones, polyacetylenes, phytosterols, tannins, valeric acid, and vitamins A, B12, E, and niacin.
