Frequently Asked Questions:
Where do our herbs come from?
Most of our herbs are organically grown or wildcrafted, we source our materials meticulously from all over the world, including Taiwan, Korea, China, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Tibet, and a few special herbs from North and South America. The herbs are properly identified, hand selected for freshness and potency, tested for heavy metals, pesticides, and bacteria/mold before being used in the formulations. Only the highest quality herbs make it into our products. Most manufacturers use the cheapest source of herbs they buy in bulk, not accounting for whether the herbs were harvested ethically, both socially and biologically. We do our research and source our materials with the highest standards with regard for both the plant and the harvester.
How are the formulas made from the herbs?
We use a proprietary low temperature alcohol extraction method which yields a very concentrated liquid, with all of the delicate aromatic and other ingredients in the product. You can taste and smell the potency. There are NO other added ingredients. The formula is perfectly preserved, and DOES NOT deteriorate like all other forms as pills, tablets, capsules, powders, which always contain gelatin, corn or other starch medium, magnesium stearate and other excipients, preservatives, film coatings or similar ingredients used in their manufacture.
Do these formulas work?
Most of these formulas are based on classical formulas from 500 to over 1000 years old which are still being used today. Currently there are many research articles emerging which reveal the biomechanisms and scientific reasons why the herbs work, the most effective being the classical formulations, and not just single herbs.
Are the formulas safe?
These formulas are absolutely safer than most “food” found in a modern supermarket. The fact is that most of the vegetables and fruits that you buy which are not really organic are loaded with pesticides, fungicides, and other adulterants. Most modern manufactured food is loaded with poisons as well being devoid of nutrients. Not only are these formulas safe, they assist the body in the detoxification and removal of poisons and toxins from your body, and can rebuild deficiencies of hormones, blood, and neurotransmitters caused from depleted food and poor lifestyles as well.
When you increase the dosage amount gradually, you allow time for your body to adjust to digesting and transporting the nutrients. The dosage can vary tremendously for each individual, and is best determined by gradually building up from a very small dose. All formulas are balanced and harmonizing. When identified properly, harvested and prepared appropriately, and combined with other herbs to form historically time tested formula which is applied with the correct dosage, the herbs are very safe and effective.
What is the dosage? How much do I take?
The suggested dosage is 3 droppers (0.6 milliliters) 3 times per day . One dropper is equal to 20 to 25 drops, depending on the viscosity of the formula. Please be aware you should be taking 3 droppers full (the pipette is actually about 1/3 full), and NOT 3 drops. Another way to look at it is 3 squirts full!
Technically each dropper full is about 0.6 milliliters.
3 droppers is about 1.8 ml
The daily dosage is 3 droppers (1.8 ml) three times per day.
Total daily dosage equals 9 droppers (5.4ml)
Each 100ml bottle will last about 18 days if you take every dose. On average it takes about 3 weeks to finish one bottle.
Can the dosage vary depending on the person or the condition?
Yes. The dosage written on the label (3 droppers 3 times per day) is a general dosage for an average size adult. If you weigh more than the average of 75 kg, then consider increasing the dosage. Other factors which may create a need for a larger dosage are poor absorption of nutrients in general, digestive problems, extreme stress, or other conditions which affect absorption and metabolism of the herbs.
