Herbal Medicine

The World Health Organisation defines herbal medicines as:

Herbal preparations are produced by subjecting herbal materials to extraction, fractionation, purification, concentration, or other physical or biological processes. They may be produced for immediate consumption or as the basis for herbal products. Herbal products may contain excipients, or inert ingredients, in addition to the active ingredients.

WHO (2001:1)

The Adrenal glands are under a lot of stress in this modern world. Lots of people experience fatigue or don't have as much energy as they used to.

Some Herbs have a building and supportive effect on these glands, we use them on there own or in a synergistic formula. Synergistic means that the herbs together have a greater benefit than each herb on there own.

One example of five herbs working in synergy are:

ASHWAGANDHA, Withania somnifera
ASTRAGALUS, Astragalus membranaceus
SIBERIAN GINSENG, Eleutherococcus senticosus
GOTU KOLA, Centella asiatica
LIQUORICE, Glycyrrhiza glabra
