Herbal Medicine

We develop and recommend custom herbal tincture mixes for individual patients to meet their health needs. We use tinctures because they are the best absorbed form of herbal medicine for most herbs, and we buy only from sources we trust. (For maximal absorption, capsules are second in preference and tablets the last choice.)

A great herbal tincture has to come from beautiful, healthy plants that are correctly identified by an expert in the field, and they have to be handled and processed properly to give the maximum amount of the proper constituents. Experienced wine drinkers can tell the difference in taste between an expensive and inexpensive wine, but chemical analysis would probably not indicate much of any difference. In the same way an herbal tincture that is well prepared from whole plants by a knowledgeable person provides a medicine that is not able to be chemically analyzed as different, but is far superior to anything standardized on the basis of an ingredient that may not even be active. Therefore, we dispense products from companies that we know supervise every aspect of their product and are consistently excellent. This allows us to know exactly what the patient is receiving and at what dose of active ingredients.
