Bladderwrack
Bladderwrack is a type of seaweed commonly used for its rich Iodine content.
Bladderwrackis useful in treating thyroid problems, myxedema, iodine deficiency, obesity, diminished resistance to disease, anxiety, digestive problems, constipation, lymphadenoid goiter, arteriosclerosis, emphysema, bronchitis, arthritis, rheumatism, and disorders of the genitourinary tract. Also it serves as a blood cleanser.
Benefits of Tinctures
Capsules, soft gels and tablets are very popular. Tinctures, however, have many advantages over these modes of delivery. The bio-availability of tinctures is very high in comparison, because unlike pills tinctures don't rely on digestion to break them down. Tinctures are readily absorbed by the body, beginning their work in the bloodstream almost as soon as they enter the mouth. Which is a very significant benefit. Note also that:
Tinctures can be applied externally as well as internally
Tinctures can be stored for long periods of time, even years, without loss of effectiveness
Tinctures can be taken relatively accurately because they are administered in drops
Why are tinctures alcohol-based?
Not only is the alcohol in St. Francis tinctures indispensable for extracting the active ingredients of an herb, it is also needed to stabilize and preserve them. As well as limiting microbial activity, alcohol has the ability to inhibit enzymatic or hydrolytic reactions in plant extracts.
Alcohol plays the role of a carrier substance conveying active ingredients within the body. Beyond that, it has been scientifically proven that small amounts of alcohol actually enhance the immune system and its defenses.
The amount of alcohol taken in an average dose of tincture, you'll be surprised to learn, is about the same as what you'd find in an overly ripe banana!
