Roots Remedies - Our Formulas

Our Formulas

Our formulas are based on both traditional use and scientific research for each medicinal plant. We approach healing from a systems, rather than symptoms, approach, which is based in the belief that a nutrient-supported body can heal itself. Our formulations are designed to support the system (immune, adrenal, etc) that underlies the symptoms to correct the deeper health imbalance. For example, in the case of a bronchial infection, a systems-based approach heals the entire respiratory and immune systems rather than simply targeting the cough. This holistic approach to healing has broader, longer lasting health benefits than a symptom-based approach.

1. The quality of the plant determined by its genes and growing conditions
Our formulas start with the very highest quality, fresh whole plants direct from the nutrient-rich soil on the farm. Click here to learn more about our farms. »

2. The form of extract process used to activate the healing properties of the plant
We use the whole part of the plant in order to capture the full spectrum of phytonutrients, the naturally occurring chemical compounds found in plants. This allows the maximum healing benefits that nature intended—a health difference identical to that between whole grains and processed flour products.

3. The expertise utilized in determining the ingredient, quantities, and ratios to achieve the positive synergistic effect of the plants within the formula.
Our extraction process is unique for each herb because different parts of different plants contain the medicinal properties. Extracting the volatile oils out of a delicate, freshly cut leaf requires a very different process to preserve the integrity of the medicine than pulling the nutrients out of a winter hardened, dry root. Whether we are extracting the plant in water, organic alcohol, or fresh fruit juice, we use the purest, 100% chemical-free and closest to nature process possible. As a result, many of our extracts require not just hours, but weeks to fully complete the extraction process.
