What is the big deal about how herbs are mixed? Why do herbs work better mixed than they do individually?
Well, there are several reasons why they work better if mixed properly. Here is the story in a nutshell. Each formula compound contains two-to-five primary agent herbs that are part of the blend designed for specific purposes. Since all body parts, and most symptoms are interrelated, it is wise to have herbs that can affect each part of the problem. Body balance is encouraged by a combination of herbal nutrients, rather than a large supply of one or two focused properties. A combination allows inclusion of herbs that can work at different stages of need. This concept is where you hear different supplements talk about “delivery” or “transport” systems. A combination of several herbs with similar properties can increase the latitude of effectiveness, primarily through a wider range of activity. Finally, some of the extremely potent and complex herbs are beneficial in small amounts, and as catalysts, but should not be used alone.
