How do herbs differ from most drug medicines?

Herbs work in a variety of strategic & inspiring ways. Whilst many medicines are derived from plants, they differ from most conventional medicines and drugs for many reasons but principally, it is the ‘synergistic’ way herbs deliver vital components to the body and mind.

This synergy or ‘working together’ allows for a process of fine-tuning and self-adjustment. In simple terms; herbs and the body can form a sophisticated relationship that is synchronised, rather than the herbs dominating and controlling parts of the body and producing effects that may not be in tandem with what the body really needs at that time or in the future.

While drugs can often produce a satisfactory result in terms of removing acute uncomfortable symptoms, at the same time they also block, subdue and decrease vital activities in the body (or create extreme opposites). In the long-term picture, this can then progress into a more chronic and toxic picture.

Take for instance, Ant acid medicine. It blocks the over production of stomach acid so that ultimately it is not produced. This in turn can result in several outcomes that are not ideal in the long term. Overall digestion will be hampered and unbalanced. The vital killing of pathogens (toxic food) is also substantially decreased due to lack of the vitally destructive acids that have been removed by the drug medicine.

The lack of stomach acid also interferes with the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals. Should one ever come off the medication then the body can either go into over-drive of acid production or be totally unable to produce it all.

Herbal medicine on the other hand is able to moderate the reasons for acid over production. It will do this by altering overall digestive enzyme production and other associated responses, which will reduce excessive over-drive production of acid. It will additionally address any underlying stress and anxiety that often creates acid over production.

This is because herbs will often address more than one problem at a time, identifying the body as a ‘whole’ rather than in separate parts. Herbs work best as part of a more holistic approach incorporating sensible eating patterns, drinking sufficient pure water and practising natural healing techniques.

Herbs essentially function by:

‘Supporting’ the body, keeping it in a balanced and healthy state that can prevent a decline into real ill health.

‘Rejuvenating’ flagging energy levels and reducing the likelihood of being prone to illness.

‘Preventing’ . A key word to be associated with herbal medicine, as so much illness is all about not making the same mistakes and learning how to ‘juggle’ ones own personal genetic and lifestyle package with the support of herbs and a focus on a reduction of ill health episodes.

‘Healing’ by turning around many illnesses or body dysfunctions (e.g. weak kidneys, poor digestion) and troubling life phases (menstrual, menopausal etc) in often a short space of time or by providing long term management support.

Herbs combined with natural healing also allow you to cleanse and detox your body, to help reduce illness and expel toxins. This in turn creates a solid and healthy foundation for your body and ensuring good health and overall healing.

Why are our herbal formulas so clever and so safe?

Multi herb formulae or polypharmacy is the provision of many herbs (in their whole state) in one formula, deliberately addressing many patient/customer issues at the same time. Formulas provide an array of biochemistry able to stimulate, nurture, provoke, soften, combat, detoxify, eliminate and build all in one go. With this, many organs are worked and problems can be better addressed as the whole body is taken into consideration.

These formulas denote the hallmark of HHH Ltd and they have been created by Jill Davies, a Herbal Practitioner and Co-Director/Founder of the company. Initially these formulas were used in clinics only but over time they were carefully tuned for safe OTC use. Their overall use now stretches back nearly 30 years of positive and solid feedback, making business thrive.

Herbalism & Natural Healing Combined.

Our company’s co-founder, Jill Davies is qualified in both Naturopathy (natural healing) methods and herbal medicine. Therefore our approach is holistic.

Although we visibly ‘sell herbs’ there is more of an ethos of ‘all encompassing healing’ alongside herbal medicine. So whether you are browsing our website, reading our quarterly News, following product leaflet directions or speaking to one of our office staff or advisors you will notice that we always include ‘supportive’ and integral information.

This will include information on nutrition and diet, relaxation, emotional healing, exercise, detoxing and cleansing alongside many other aspects of natural healing techniques. For example, skin brushing or hot and cold showers.

The company is passionate about encouraging knowledge so that prevention and a balanced lifestyle can lead to self-responsibility and a feeling of life control and empowerment.

We are adamant about referring our customers to visit a local Herbal or Nutritional Practitioner when they are seeking advice or help that is not able to be safely reached or solved by over-the-counter herbal products. This would be when they are suffering from more complex illnesses or poor health that requires a diagnosis and one-to-one qualified and monitored treatment.

Natural healing combined with herbal medicine can be powerfully life changing and a vibrant, joyous life can become a reality using these methods of healing that focus on the many aspects of a person’s body and mind. Raising health levels by living new and healthier ways that heal you is how it all starts. We have the knowledge to help you put one foot in front of the other towards following this positive and potent path.
