Post Chemo

Key Botanical Components and Mechanisms

Nymphaea caerulea (blue lotus)

Offers anxiolytic and neuroregulatory alkaloids such as nuciferine that promote relaxation, reduce sympathetic stress, and support emotional equilibrium during recovery.

Rosa spp. (rose petals)

Rich in polyphenols and volatile oils with anti-inflammatory and astringent actions, rose petals support mucosal healing and emotional well-being post-treatment.

Urtica dioica (nettle leaves)

Nettle is mineral-rich and supports blood building, immune modulation, and detoxification, making it ideal for restoring vitality post-chemotherapy.

Quercetin (powder)

A potent flavonoid with mast cell–stabilizing, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. It reduces chemo-induced oxidative burden and supports tissue regeneration.

Citrus limon (lemon) and Citrus aurantiifolia (lime)

These fruits provide vitamin C, flavonoids, and organic acids that enhance liver detoxification, antioxidant capacity, and collagen synthesis.

Syzygium aromaticum (clove powder)

Contains eugenol, a compound with strong antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Clove supports oral and gastrointestinal healing and enhances systemic resilience.

Sesamum indicum (white sesame seeds)

Provides lignans and essential fatty acids that regulate inflammation, support NRF2 antioxidant pathways, and restore cell membrane integrity.

Solvent System

Non-GMO French Vodka: This 40% ethanol base facilitates broad-spectrum phytochemical extraction while maintaining stability and preserving both hydrophilic and lipophilic constituents.

Summary

The Post Chemo tincture is designed to enhance recovery following chemotherapy by addressing inflammation, immune reactivity, oxidative damage, and digestive discomfort. Its carefully selected botanicals contribute to systemic repair, emotional recovery, and antioxidant replenishment in the weeks and months after chemotherapy has concluded.
