Natura-Mune 2 (40265)

530 mg per vegetable cap 120 count

Natura-Mune 2 is used to tonify Qi, Blood, and Jing. Natura-Mune 2 helps strengthen the immune system protecting against pathogens, especially during cold and flu season. This formula is recommended to be included in a supplement support program when treating chronic deficiency-type diseases because of its superior balance and gentle strengthening qualities.

Formula considerations: This formula has a wide margin of safety. As with any tonic, stop taking it when there are cold/flu symptoms or bacterial infection. Switch to Weather Beater, Attack 1, or Attack 2. Once the symptoms are resolved, resume taking Natura-Mune 2.

Tonify Qi:

The profound healing powers of fungi and mushrooms have been known throughout China for thousands of years. They are considered longevity herbs in Taoist formulas. More recently there have been extensive clinical studies that have identified a number of compounds in them that stimulate immune function and inhibit bacterial, viral, and tumor growth. Extracts and combinations of Coriolus versicolor, Maitake, and Reishi are carefully made and comprise 44% of the formula. Eleuthero (Wu Jia Shen) and Astragalus [(Zhi) Huang Qi] are too deep acting (and not very warming) Qi tonics. They increase energy and endurance. In the last 35 years, there have been many studies showing that, even on its own, Astragalus has very strong immuno-stimulating properties. Eleuthero has been used extensively by athletes during training to increase endurance. Cat’s Claw and Pau d’Arcu are two well-known (and studied) South American herbs that have some similar properties. They have been used extensively to treat chronic illnesses and degenerative conditions.

As a group, Coriolus versicolor, Maitake, Reishi, Cat’s Claw, and Licorice Root clear toxic heat. Usually, herbs that do this are somewhat cold in nature. These 5 herbs are more neutral so they do not adversely affect the digestive system as can be the case with cold herbs. This dual function is quite valuable to help clear out any hidden toxic pathogens and, at the same time, restore the Qi, Blood, and Jing. From a naturopathic view, they can also be considered to have liver (organ) and blood detox functions.

Tonify Blood/Jing:

Reishi Mushroom (Ling Zhi) is used in this formula to strengthen the immune system, help protect the liver organ and detox a wide range of pathogens.

Tonify and Regulate Qi:

Citrus Peel (Chen Pi) tonifies the Qi and help prevents the Spleen and Stomach Qi from stagnating.

Also Tonifies Yin/Jing:

(Pau d’Arcu and Cat’s Claw)

Also Clears Toxic Heat:

(Coriolus versicolor, Maitake, Reishi, Cat’s Claw, Licorice Root)

Overall, Natura-Mune 2 is a deep-acting neutral tonic. This allows it to be used when there are mild Heat signs along with Qi deficiency. (Start with a smaller dosage and build up to the regular dose)
