How to Get the Most out of Herbal Medicine

Since the beginning of time man has turned to his environment for medicines. Plants, minerals and even certain animal products all contain powerful healing substances.

The key to the effective application of herbal medicine begins with the correct diagnosis of the exact imbalance. An experienced clinician knows that most people show an array of conflicting imbalances. One organ may require warming while another needs cooling. The direction of alternative medicine in the West has tended toward the mass marketing of general formulas, which people buy directly off the shelf. Herbal medicine, however, is most effective when the formula is conformed exactly to the person.

The body possesses a powerful healing and regenerative chemistry that awakens under the right conditions. This healing chemistry is secreted by the endocrine system when the body is brought into proper balance. A complex herbal formula consisting of eight to fifteen ingredients can treat all the organs simultaneously and help to bring the body into such regenerative balance.
