What Are Herbal Extracts?

Most might ask, "What are Herbal Extracts and how can they help me have better health?" Herbal Extracts are an herbal food or combination of foods, diluted in liquids such as distilled water and grain neutral spirits, that may be used as a "natural medicine." Extracts are intended to be used to supplement the diet with herbal foods in an easily absorbable form. Most people may not be aware that they may be carrying around as much as ten pounds of debris coating the surfaces of their digestive canal: stomach, small and large intestines. This debris forms a barrier between the food which is eaten and the absorption of the needed nutrition. This means the digestive system needs some help. This is why Herbal Extracts solve this problem. They cross this barrier rapidly and help dissolve the barrier in the process. This eliminates having to take tablets and capsules that may not get through. As a matter of fact, an herbal extract can be applied externally right over the area where required. This, of course, would be difficult to do with a capsule of powered herbs or a tablet.
