External Herbal Therapy

A Summary of Useful Herbal Extracts

Herbs are beneficial plants or portions of plants that help and do not harm you. Herbs have been used historically to nourish the body, enabling it to repair and regenerate. Herbs are foods containing vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids in varying amounts to supply your body with the high quality nutrition it needs to maintain life.
Herbs begin as trees, flowers, bushes or grasses and are available as fresh or dried, or in the form of capsules, teas or extracts. Herbal extracts are usable both internally and externally and usually absorb more easily and work faster than tablets. This brochure informs us of a sampling of herbal extracts useful when applied externally. The extracts mentioned in this brochure are alcohol-based extracts which absorb easily into the skin and bloodstream with pre-digested nutrients readily available to the tissues for quick and speedy recovery. If an area is not accessible by external application, some formulas may be used internally.
The skin is an organ which absorbs nutrients and also eliminates wastes. This is evidenced by the fact that nicotine, estrogen and pain patches work. Herbs absorb in a similar fashion and when dealing with a quality extract, the results can be felt, seen and repeated.
Suggested usages are included in this brochure for educational purposes only. Contact a qualified herbal practitioner for assistance. If you need medical assistance, contact a licensed medical provider.
