Mode of Action of Main Ingredients in Dr. Reckeweg R31  

The therapeutic action is twofold; it is directed towards the liver through the excitation of the fermenting system of the liver (China and Lycopodium), and towards the marrow through a selective excitation (Ferrum chloratum).

Arsen. jodatum has a beneficient effect on cellular metabolism. This means that the action extends to the blood-producing system and this is further heightened by the effect of Lycopodium on the functioning of the spleen as energised by Ceanothus americanus.
