“Revolutionary though modern medicine has been, there are a host of illnesses, from depression to multiple sclerosis, for which there is no magic bullet. Some respond better to the kind of mixtures found in herbs.” — New Scientist, May 2001

The main purpose of herbal remedies is to stimulate the body's own natural healing abilities by rebalancing and cleansing it. When correctly prescribed, herbs can be combined and targeted to activate, regulate, heal or tone any organ in the body. Using plants for healing offers many advantages. The absorption of herbal tinctures is superior to that of capsules or tablets. Taking herbal tonics with detox and other cleansing programmes will help accentuate the healing and cleansing action of the flushes.

About 40% of modern, pre-packaged medicines now used in orthodox medical practice are synthetic variants of plant constituents, and several well-known 'wonder drugs' such as digitalis and aspirin are in fact extracted from traditional medicinal herbs. Gingko Biloba, St John's Wort and Kava Kava are three of the most prescribed medicines in Germany, by medical doctors.
