Herbal medicine aims to treat internal imbalances - rather than resulting symptoms - and encourages healing potential. For over 2000 years in the Orient, herbal medicine has been detailed and refined. Wisdom enabled Shen Nong the 'Divine Farmer' to ingest medicinals to identify and determine the properties of the materia medica.

Precautions taken
No endangered plant species nor animal, bacteria or mineral products are used. Natural, heavy metal and drug-free botanical medicines are only purchased from good quality authenticated sources, traceable back to the field where they were grown.

Practiced with integrity, herbal medicine is safe and effective. Adverse reactions are rare and in most cases cause no side effects. Inherent complexity of plant constituents is more balanced than isolated active ingredients. The combined synergetic actions of herbs allows directed individual care.

The speed of recovery increases with the daily attention provided by herbal medicine. Successful treatment is possible for a wide range of conditions not exclusive to these disorders:
