The Body’s Defenses

 

The immune system is a powerful network. When healthy, an immune cell is equipped with the tools to eliminate all pathogenic bacteria, viruses and fungi. They are also able to detect and kill off cancerous cells. Whenever we go through a stressful experience two major hormones, adrenaline and cortisol, are released. These hormones direct the immune system to slow down. As a result the immune system weakens during stressful moments and immune cells are not made properly. As immune cells are released they are unable to recognize foreign microbes, allowing infection to spread. Other manifestations include allergies or autoimmune disease such as arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, etc. Additionally, these immune cells can’t detect cancerous cells, allowing them to proliferate and turn into tumors.

 

 

Strengthening the Immune System

 

Phytotherapi Immune, Phytotherapi Stress, Essential Therapi and Renewal Therapi are used to help strengthen and restore the immune system. Phytotherapi Immune works with the body to support the strength of the immune system. Phytotherapi Stress contains sesquiterpenes, allowing it to pass through the brain barrier to help balance the biochemistry of the brain and decrease the production of adrenaline and cortisol. Essential Therapi provides the nutrients needed to heal and repair cellular damage caused by autoimmune problems. Renewal Therapi allows proper regeneration and function of tissues by restoring cellular signaling and communication.
