Why use herbal drinks?

Special Plants
In our search for health and vitality, Oriental medicine offers us a choice that seems to be missing in Western medicine. That choice is the use of herbal drinks. There are some very special plants available to us that we can use to support our healthy wholeness and to prevent the development of disease. According to Oriental philosophy, these special herbs keep us healthy (or return us to health) not by attacking specific disease agents but by causing changes via life-promoting influences.

Nourish the Whole System
Indeed, tonic herbs seem to nourish and tone the whole of a system by maintaining a stable internal environment thus enhancing the life force of those taking them. Herbal drinks are not drugs. They are more like foods that provide nutrients and other substances that seem to invigorate the body and mind in a gentle and balanced way. (Not all herbal remedies are tonics. Herbal remedies are used to treat and alleviate illness. These herbs must be used with respect due to the powerful effects they can have on the body.)

Influence Balance
Herbal drinks were first used by Oriental Sages and yoga masters to enhance their efforts to attain radiant health and spiritual illumination. Herbal drinks can help each person achieve a particular peak of health and vitality. The quality of that state will vary from person to person. However, herbal drinks alone may not help one achieve radiant health. Life is balance. What we eat, what we think, our openness to spirituality, our emotional well-being, our physical condition and the exercise we choose will all influence our personal health and vitality.

Gentle Remedies
A characteristic of tonic herbs is that they are all gentle remedies that have a mild yet profound effect upon the body. Tonic herbs work slowly and work best when taken over a long period. If you have any known medical problems, it is essential you consult a qualified physician before trying an herbal tonic. Then, follow instructions, be steady, be patient and incredible results may occur.
