N.B: Listen to your Body and if taking the Herb does not feel right then don't take it. N.B: Don't mix Herbs and prescription medication unless you are aware of their individual properties as they could combine to create problems. Natural Herbs & Bach Flower Essences are not only natural Organic species but have also not been hybridized or genetically modified. They are utilized as a natural food and medicine for preventive nutrition & therapeutically to treat Imbalances & Disease in the Body. They treat the causes of the Conditions and stimulate and assist the Body in the healing process with virtually no risk of complications. N.B: Certified organically grown Herbs, especially those grown in Australia, are highly recommended for their superior quality. Rarely has "side effects," unless abused, due to the fact that being natural Organic food no waste products accumulate in the Body. The natural Organic Minerals in them metabolize with the other natural Organic Minerals & Vitamins along with the natural Enzymes, Glycoside, Tannins, Tissue Salts, etc that all go to synchronize the Synergy in the whole plant. Quantities: *Use 3 times the quantity of fresh herb to dried herb. 1 x teaspoon of dried herb or 3 of the fresh herb to 1 x cup of water and allow to steep for 15 minutes then drink, hot or cold. Dosage: 1/2 Cup - 2 to 3 times a day. Synergy Is related to the overall balance of the Actions & Constituents and the Compounds involved in plants such as Meadowsweet, which is in reality herbal Aspirin without any "side effects." It contains Salicyclic Acid also found in the Bark of the Willow / Salix Alba and it has an Anti - Inflammatory action on Rheumatic Pain & Fever, as well as being Anti - Septic & Diuretic. The other Constituents in the plant, such as Mucilage & Tannins balance these. N.B: The Salicylates taken in isolation can cause Gastric Bleeding, a "side effect" of the single compound, Aspirin but left as a whole / Synergy it is in balance with its other Constituents, and has the opposite effect being whole herbs that heal Gastric Bleeding & Ulceration. Imbalances occur when there is Human interference with Nature as the key to health is that natural waste products are passed out of the Body quickly & easily, which is not the case with synthetically produced chemical compounds and medicines. The common action of medicinal Herbs & Bach Flower Essences is to treat the two extremes and so create Balance in the Body Systems.

Essential Oils, Fluid - Extracts & Tablets are commercially produced and are not really suitable for home made remedies. In the kitchen Herbs add flavour to cooking and health benefits. Natural plant food and Herbal Medicines provide natural combined Nutrients as a whole package for the Body to take up from them whatever it needs. Synthetic individual isolated chemical molecules derived from these may be stronger for a particular molecule but they do not furnish the Body with the whole package and due to their added strength and lack of natural wholeness may produce "side effects."
