Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine is the ancient practice of using the naturally occurring properties of plants to treat illness and imbalance within the body. Medicinal plants are harvested, dried and added to a solvent to extract as many of the active constituents as possible. This differs from orthodox medicine, which focuses on using just one chemical component to force a change in the body's physico-chemical processes, usually resulting in huge imbalances in other areas of the body.

​Because herbal medicine has so many active constituents, and they remain in their natural form, there is a more synergistic and balanced effect within the body, making them safe and highly effective.
