Ancient Wisdom
Modern Medicine

Estimated to have been in existence for over 200 million years and first discovered in China, by Buddhist monks for various medical purposes, the Ginkgo Biloba Tree is  today   considered a living fossil and the longest living plant on  earth.   Health benefits during its early existence came from extracts of the tree’s fruit, seed kernel, and leaves.  Extracts of the fruit were used to defend against tuberculosis; the leaves to treat depression, toxic shock, cirulatory ailment and senility; and the seed kernel to ward off bronchial congestion and kidney infection.

     Today, as a result of studies in Germany and France, it is acknowledged that Ginkgo increases blood circulation and boosts the brain’s ability to use oxygen which ultimately has the effect of increasing memory and alertness.   Over 50 studies  showed quite encouragingly that Ginkgo can strengthen blood vessels and therefore is a very effective means of preventing varicose veins and hemorrhoids from getting out of control.

Specially Formulated Herbal Extracts
Can Shorten The Recovery And Enhance
The Results Of Several Surgeries

     Modern technology affords me, the chemist and formulator, many opportunities to adapt herbal extracts effectively for topical usage through the medium of liposomes, which act as a carrier and time-release.  The outer membrane layers of liposomes encapsulate hydrophylic substances; the core membranes  encapsulate lipophylic substances. 

     In this encapsulated delivery system, patented by CA Botana, the incorporated agents of an active ingredient of substance are released in a controlled manner and guided into the skin towards its target.  The process is a controlled time-release action. 

     This exciting technology poses a very provocative solution to the large amounts of transepidermal water (TEW) loss that occurs after such aggressive procedures as laser resurfacing, agressive or other acid peels, cosmetic surgery, burns, traumas, etc.  The method appears to greatly reduce TEW loss and enhance the lipid balance, both disrupted after such procedures, thus shortening the recovery period and enhancing the results of the procedures. 

     In  addressing buzzwords such at ANTI-AGING and LONGEVITY, one sees in today’s market the many unique formulations, combining several ingredients in such a way as to produce visible effectiveness which was for many years not possible.

Rejuvenate While You Sleep

     Retinol A, a hyper-pure form of Retinoic acid, is one product that makes a strong anti-aging statement. The most newsworthy skin care advance since alpha-hydroxy acids, the use of a retinol product is less-dermatologically-taxing and rarely renders the skin red, raw and flaky, a common occurence with Retin A and Renova.   However, Retinol A is so much more impressive when combined with effective botanicals and lecithin-derived vitamins. Re-growable sources of botanical materials are the key to truly establishing “life extension.” 

     Age spots seem to fade, and your skin simply begins to glow.   The secret is as old as the earth and as new as modern technology.  It’s vitamins A and E plus a special botanical blend that helps to boost the benefits of the CA Botana night treament.
