Herbal Medicine
Pharmaceutical grade herbal medicine can assist with a wide range of treatment options.
Herbs have the ability to cleanse, support, adapt, nourish, detoxify and tone body systems, organs and glands.
Modern herbalists have hundreds of scientifically proven medically effective herbs in their dispensaries, including the traditional western herbs as well as auyervedic herbs from India and the Chinese herbals.
With “Practitioner Only’ herbals, the medically active pharmaceutical grade product of herbal material is carefully assayed for potency and consistency of active principles and supplied in a high grade form such as a fluid extract or spray dried to make tablets.
The fluid extract is a liquid form and everything but fibre is stripped from the dried herbal material with a solution of medical alcohol and water, which goes straight into the glass bottle the practitioner uses to dispense for the patient. The patient gets a potent medicine mixed just for them, it’s very absorbable and the mix can be adjusted week by week as needed.
Because every active principle of the plant is dissolved out, many of the extracts have a strong taste and smell. However, just put a spoonful of mix into a little water or juice and it’s down in one swallow.
Interestingly, the actual taste often has its own medicinal effect, such as Gentian, which is very bitter and gets digestive juices flowing.
Herbs are complex and wonderful. They can nourish nerves, boost the function of organs and glands such a brain, thyroid, adrenals, kidney and heart, as well as supporting all aspects of digestive tract health. They are essential to care for liver health, function and to help regenerate liver tissue.
