Herbal extracts are taken on or under the tongue, mixed with fruit juice or used externally, as indicated.  When used internally, they are carried through the tongue or stomach walls almost directly into the blood stream and thus, bypass the nearly 26 feet of tortured digestive tract.  When applied externally to the skin, herbal extracts are rapidly absorbed and enter the blood stream within seconds.  They go where they are supposed to go and do what they are supposed to do.

Extracts are absorbed especially well from the soles of the feet, the palms of the hands, the insides of the thighs, the temples of the forehead, the spine and back of the neck or any other places where you can feel the pulse beat of the heart.  This gives the practitioner and the user a great deal more flexibility and is very helpful for babies and grownups who cannot or will not swallow anything.  It should be emphasized here that an herbal extract can be applied to the entire spine, from the tip of the coccyx (tail bone) upward and on to the neck, to work with great rapidity and efficiency.

Many in the "Western" medicinal field consider the use of herbs to be quackery.  Everything Herbs and our team of experts draw from a variety of cultural traditions (and scientific literature, too).  While we always recommend that you seek the advice of a qualified health practitioner, we are pleased to offer you the historical information regarding herbs and their uses, including information from the Chinese Materia Medica and flower remedies.  We hope you will join us in tending to the causes of dis-ease rather than patching the symptoms.  The more you know, the more you will be able to direct your life to one of focusing on fresh air, good water, plenty of rest, NO STRESS.  Restoring balance is key to our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.  We need to keep our vital force strong.  We certainly do not recommend ceasing to take vital drugs.  But many patients turn to herbs because they wish to phase out pharmaceutical drugs by replacing them with gentler herbal approaches.  We are very fortunate to still be able to choose what seems right for ourselves.
