Epithelial Support Remedy Epithelium is not a system, but it is important enough to have its own remedy because of how vital it is to the body and how many health issues relate directly to problems with Epithelial tissue. Where is it located? It covers the whole surface of the body! What Does It Do? This tissue is specialized to form the covering or lining of all internal and external body surfaces. Epithelial cells from the skin protect underlying tissue from mechanical injury, harmful chemicals, invading bacteria and excessive loss...

Tongue Support Remedy The tongue is a muscular organ in the mouth. The tongue is covered with moist tissue called mucosa. It is vital for chewing (manipulating food for mastication) and swallowing food, as well as for speech, more specifically phonetic articulation. The tongue also serves as a natural means of cleaning one's teeth. It is the primary organ of taste (gustation), as most of the upper surface of the tongue is covered in papillae and taste buds. It is sensitive and kept moist by saliva, and is richly supplied...

Thyroid Support Remedy Your thyroid gland is a small gland, normally weighing less than one ounce, yet it has influence on every cell of your body. Some consider it to be the most important gland in the modern world because 98% of the tested population have some undiagnosed trouble with it. It is located in the front of the neck and is made up of two halves, called lobes, which lay along the windpipe (trachea) and are joined together by a narrow band of thyroid tissue known as the isthmus....

Thymus Support Remedy The thymus is a lymphatic organ located behind the sternum. The main responsibility of the thymus is to mature lymphocytes by releasing a hormone called thymosin (stimulates maturation of lymphocytes). About one half of the lymphocytes that are created in the bone marrow are sent to the thymus to mature and be released as T lymphocytes (T cells) to provide immunity. Seventy to eighty percent of the T cells found in the circulation originate from the thymus. They are most abundant in the lymph nodes, thoracic duct...

Throat Support Remedy Your throat is a tube that carries food to your esophagus and air to your windpipe and larynx. The technical name for throat is pharynx, which is Greek for 'throat'. As you move further down the throat, the pharynx turns into the larynx. It houses the vocal cords and is crucial to speech and breathing. The larynx also serves as a passageway to both the trachea (windpipe to the lung) and the esophagus (canal to the stomach). Sore throats are one of the most common health complaints...

Teeth Support Remedy We all love a beautiful smile filled with pearly whites. But beyond the attractive feature, and assuming you never have to use them for self defense purposes, teeth are known for one main function, and that is to break up food in the process of chewing. Chewing, also called mastication, is considered mechanical digestion. The teeth are classified into two parts, the crown (the part you see above the gums) and the root (the part you don't see below the gum line). The crown is made of...

Stomach Support Remedy After food has been chewed very well and thoroughly mixed with saliva, food is swallowed. It first passes into the pharynx, then down the esophagus, penetrating the diaphragm muscle through the esophageal hiatal, then past the lower esophageal sphincter (cardiac sphincter) into the stomach. The stomach is a J-shaped, pouch-like organ, about 25-30 centimeters long, which hangs under the diaphragm in the upper left portion of the abdominal cavity. It has a capacity of about one liter or more, and its inner lining is marked by thick...

Spleen Support Remedy The spleen is the soft, purplish-red organ tucked just under the rib cage on the left side of the abdomen. It is about the size of the heart and is made up of a spongy material that can hold up to three gallons of blood. Of all the abdominal organs, the spleen is the one most easily and frequently injured. We usually do not hear much about the spleen unless we know of someone who was in a car accident or fell causing the spleen to rupture....

Spinal (cord/column/disc) Support Remedy The spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular bundle of nerve tissue and support cells that extends from the brain (the medulla oblongata specifically). It begins at the occipital bone and extends down through the protective spinal column to the space between the first and second lumbar vertebrae. It does not extend the entire length of the vertebral column. The brain and spinal cord together make up the central nervous system (CNS). The spinal cord functions primarily in the transmission of neural signals between the brain...

Small Intestine Support Remedy The small intestine is a tubular organ that extends from the pyloric sphincter, at the end of the stomach, to the beginning of the large intestine, where the illeocecal valve is found. It is part of the gastrointestinal tract, or the human gut. Because of its many loops and coils (as much as 32 feet of it, or 9.8 m), it fills much of the abdominal cavity, as you can see in the photo. The primary function of the small intestine is the absorption of nutrients...

Skin Support Remedy Skin is your body's biggest organ. It is one of the most important parts of the body because it interfaces with the environment and is the first line of defense from external factors. For example, the skin plays a key role in protecting the body against pathogens and excessive water loss. Its other functions are insulation, temperature regulation, sensation, and the production of vitamin D folates. The skin is made up of three layers, each with its own important parts. The layer on the outside is called...
