Herbs

Our herbal healing-cabinet contains standardised plant extracts that can help you with a whole host of health-related issues. Try our Valerian to calm your nervous system and help you sleep, or some Echinacea to boost immunity. For a liver cleanse or help with a hangover, our Milk Thistle or Artichoke will set you off to an excellent start. Equally, if you suffer from inflammation, you may find our Cats Claw every bit as effective as anti-inflammatory medicine. And if you need some support during the menopause, then Red Clover or Wild Yam might be just what you need (also see our Women's Health section).

Traditional medicine in the East and West has long recognized the innate healing powers of plants. Now science is proving what ancient healers knew all along - that plants can really put our health back on track. Studies have now proved Echinacea effective at boosting immunity and reducing cold and flu symptoms. Meanwhile research has revealed that Garlic acts as a 3-in-1 medicine: boosting immunity, thinning the blood and lowering cholesterol. A major plus point of herbal supplements is that they tend to have fewer side-effects. Unlike medical sedatives, our Valerian will help you sleep without the risk of drowsiness the next day. Meanwhile, our anti-inflammatory Cat's Claw can reduce joint inflammation without the risk of side-effects, such as stomach problems.

Herbal supplements can support your body too, enhancing your health and preventing illness in the first place. Try our Ginkgo Biloba for a memory boost, or our Milk Thistle to strengthen your liver or as part of a detox. For digestive troubles, try our Aloe Vera, an all-round digestive tonic and favorite 'heal-all' of Native American Indians (see our Digestive Health section for even more choice). As for our Rosehip, this is one of nature's wonders: containing nature's most bio-available form of Vitamin C, you don't need much of this to give your immune system a real boost.

It’s long been observed that the natural world strives for balance and harmony. So why not give it a chance to work with you, through one of our fantastic herbal supplements....
