Top quality whole herbs contain not only the one or two active ingredients medical science has identified, but the full range of phytochemicals, those known to science and those yet undiscovered. One of the greatest strengths of herbal medicine is the diversity found within each herb. Unlike drugs, individual herbs are not disease or condition specific. Within each herb are the cofactors, synergists, buffers and supporting chemicals that render the utilization of the active ingredients safe, nontoxic and balancing to the body. Since all body parts and systems are interrelated and disease effects more than one body part, it makes sense to take a complete herb that will work with each part of the problem rather than isolated or concentrated standardized "active ingredients".

Top quality and fresh whole herbs are extracted through a tincturing process. This process effectively extracts the full spectrum of phytochemicals. Liquid extracts of whole herbs are shown to be more effective than using herbs in tablet or capsule form. Herbs grown properly and organically, then harvested at their peak, provide whole herbs that meet and exceed the "standardized guidelines". While we agree that a standardized extract will be better than using inferior quality herbs, we assert that the very best nature offers, can only be found in whole herbal extracts.
