Why Liquid Extracts???

"Liquid herbal extracts solved my dilemma of convincing Tristan at four years old that his survival depended on eating the ground up herbal tablets and powders from capsules mixed with applesauce. What I did not know until much later, was I had stumbled across the most effective form of herbal delivery. The small amber glass bottles with rubber topped droppers held the precious liquid extracts of herbs that gave my son a normal life and he didn't mind taking it!" from A Mother's Guide to Herbal Extracts: Saving Tristan by Kathy Garber.

Kathy Garber further writes in the book, A Mother's Guide to Herbal Extracts: Saving Tristan, how the use of herbal extracts kept her son off dialysis and kept his blood pressure normal for 12 years.

According to Terry Willard PhD of the Wild Rose College and author of the textbook Modern Herbology, extracts are found to be up to 70% more effective than tablets or encapsulated herbs. Their research found the liquid form being much more easily assimilated into the body and the alcohol acting as an effective carrier into the blood stream. This discovery is valuable when quick relief is needed or in an acute situation.

But what about taste? There is an old saying, "The more bitter the draught, the better the cure". Bitter herbs are helpful. Science now confirms when we taste something bitter a sensory response is sent to the brain, stimulating the intestines, gallbladder, liver and the digestive juices in the stomach for digestion. This all happens because of the bitter taste experience!

The digestion process of foods or supplements can take 4-6 hours before most nutrients are absorbed. With liquid, the healing properties your body needs are pulled out of the herb, making it easier for your body to use. This is especially helpful to those who have poor digestion. Liquid extracts retain their beneficial properties for up to 3 years. Tablets or encapsulated herbs can loose up to 90% of their effectiveness within a year.
