Cartilage Plus – Why, When



Many cartilage products are available on the market. Especially the undenatured UC-II form of collagen has proven to be effective in increasing flexibility of the joints, and alleviating joint discomfort in osteoarthritis as well rheumatic arthritis.

Collagen supplements also help in other autoimmune conditions.

Collagen is derived from animal sources.

Rudolf Steiner points out that remedies made from animal origin affect/strengthen the etheric body. In our time when the life forces are so stressed and more and more people suffer literally from devitalization of their life forces it is no wonder that these remedies are gaining in importance.

In the True Botanica supplement, also included is Stannum (tin) in potentized form. According to Rudolf Steiner this metal (in potentized form) helps the Ego organization to enter more deeply into the etheric body of the connective tissue and strengthen it.

Ginger Reduces Painful Periods



According to recent data up to 90% of young women report that they are suffering from painful menstrual periods*.

For those not willing to take the conventionally prescribed medication (or not able to tolerate it, due to the significant side effects) ginger seems to be an effective alternative.

The recommended dosing is 750mg-2,000mg in three daily divided doses for the first three to four days of the menstrual cycle.

True Botanica has paid particular attention to make this formula stronger for supporting not only the etheric body functions (anti -inflammatory effects) but also the higher ego organization. This was achieved through unique features. With the addition of the ashes of the ginger root to the final mix the formula contains not only the basic primary active ingredients, with their soothing effects, but contains also the trace minerals naturally occurring in the plant. It is these minerals that support the higher spiritual functions of the human being. The ego organization needs minerals which it then uses to directly regulate the warmth content in the body. We have indeed noted a more warming and consequently relaxing effect of this formula than after the use of other ginger products on the market. This warming effect may not only help momentarily but may also reduce the incidence of the cramps in the future.

With the increasing stress in our culture, stress that is experienced by humans of all ages- girls too (!) – it is no wonder that a “warming” ingredient is beneficial in relieving “cold” cramping (constriction) and pain.

There are many more useful applications of ginger. Its use needs to be greatly increased.
