Custom Formulations
Cultivating Synergy
When formulating herbal remedies, we follow the theory of synergy, which states that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. In herbalism, this means that a custom formula generally combines at least two herbs together which has a greater beneficial effect than taking isolated parts or single herbs separately.
Two or more herbs in a formula can encourage and optimize effectiveness in the course of treatment. Specific herbs may be used like a catalyst and increase the circulation of herbs throughout the body. Additional herbs can also harmonize and/or temper stronger acting herbs in a formula.
Everyone has unique needs and tastes, and herbal remedies can be customized and created in a variety of methods, such as:
- teas & tisanes
- tinctures (some alcohol free)
- honey-sweetened or vegan friendly glycerite elixirs and syrups
- herb-infused vinegars and oxymels
- herbal honey (electuaries)
- flower essences
- essential oil aromatherapy formulas
- herbal body oils
- salves and body creams
Please feel free to reach out if you are already familiar with herbal medicine and are simply looking for a custom formulation outside of an herbal consultation.
