GENERAL INFORMATION
According to German Pharmacopoeia, each herb needs to be extracted at a certain ethanol percentage to extract the active ingredients effectively, eg:
- Black cohosh- 67% ethanol.
- Red clover- 45 % ethanol.

Herbal blends provide nutrients and other constituents to gently probe the body in overcoming an imbalance. A healthy balanced diet, exercise, stress release, etc. are essential to one's well being and in the effectiveness of the products.

Certain individuals, who for religious, cultural and health reasons (gastric, liver inflammation, etc.) may find the ethanol content unsuitable, by simply adding almost boiling water to the tincture dose in a cup, the ethanol will evaporate and the active ingredients will remain. Diabetics are also directed to administer the remedies in this way.

Pregnant and breast feeding mothers are not advised to take the herbal blends specified. Please note, people who are salicylate acid sensitive are those individuals who are allergic to aspirin.
