Revive was formulated as a transcontinental collaboration of Dr Li Xin of Shanghai, China and Dr Stuart Dimson of Awakening Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine LLC in Broomfield, Colorado. ahh Revive helps to detoxify the body, restores energy and promotes cellular hydration. By supporting the adrenal system as well as liver and kidney function, Revive is "medicine for the medicine" for patients using Cannabis.
Medicine for the Medicine
Revive helps reverse the effects of Cannabis by combining the right balance of Chinese medicinal herbs, which are broken down as follows.
- Wu Wei Zi: astringent in nature which counteracts the diuretic nature of Cannabis
- Bai Zhu, Fu Ling and Da Zao are sweet in nature and help to balance digestion so that the proper nutrients can be absorbed from the food to replace what is being used while medicating with Cannabis
- Sheng Di Huang and Gou Qi Zi both are cooling and help remove heat and inflammation from the blood which in turn helps to reduce heat and inflammation in the Liver, Lungs Heart and Kidneys.
- Ba Ji Tian is the foundation-building herb. It helps promote circulation in the whole body. It has nourishing and regenerative functions for the adrenal glands. It’s moistening properties help it to replace vital fluids lost from the drying nature of Cannabis.
Revive
The Chinese medicinal name for Cannabis is Hou Ma, translated as “Fire Hemp.” The Chinese understood that the properties of Cannabis are hot and dry.
Common side affects are:
- Cotton mouth
- Dry, red eyes
- Inflammation in the Liver, Lungs, Heart and Blood
Cannabis also increases the levels of melatonin in the brain.
Melatonin:
- Reduces stress
- Increases immunity
- Deepens sleep
- Promotes longevity
The raw materials needed for melatonin are provided by the kidney and adrenal glands.
This artificial increase in melatonin taxes the kidney and adrenals resulting in adrenal stress.
- Fatigue or “burn out”
- Night sweating,
- Excessive dreaming,
- Irritability,
- Increase in urination, further drying out vital body fluids.
