Stillingia

Why You Need It

• Supports Healthy Skin: Helps clear up stubborn skin issues like acne, eczema, and psoriasis by cleansing the blood.
• Lymphatic System Boost: Encourages lymph flow, reducing swelling and fluid retention.
• Respiratory Health: Traditionally used to support healthy breathing and loosen congestion.

Deep Dive

Stillingia contains unique compounds called diterpenes, specifically 'stillingiatoxin'.

How it works:

1. The Blood Cleanser: It stimulates the liver and kidneys to process metabolic waste more efficiently.
2. The Lymph Mover: It specifically targets the lymph nodes, helping to break up congestion and stagnation. This is why it is often found in herbal blends for acne or chronic skin rashes—it helps the body push toxins out through the skin rather than other elimination routes.

Natural Food Sources

Unlike vitamins, Stillingia is a specific root. It is not found in standard fruits or vegetables. It must be harvested from the plant itself.

Supplementation

Because Stillingia is a potent herbal stimulant, it is rarely used as a daily supplement in isolation.

Typical Usage:

• Form: Usually taken as a tincture (liquid extract) or capsule.
• Synergy: It is most effective when combined with other alterative herbs like Burdock Root, Cleavers, or Red Clover.
• Who should take it: Individuals dealing with chronic skin conditions, swollen lymph nodes, or sluggish digestion who need a short-term detox boost.

Important: Do not take this long-term (more than 2-3 weeks at a time) without professional guidance.
