Many patients ask, the first time they are prescribed herbs: granules or raw herbs? Both follow the same formula from the same diagnosis; they differ in how they are made and taken.
Raw herbs
Soaked and simmered at home, usually twice per packet. They can be adjusted flexibly, with some herbs added early or late; but they take time and are awkward to carry.
Granules
The herbs are extracted, concentrated and dried, and dissolved in hot water to take. Doses are standard and strength consistent — good for busy people, travellers and phone consultations, and they can be posted to you.
Which to choose
- Time to cook and a condition that needs fine adjustment: raw herbs
- Everyday care, a busy life or a phone consultation: usually granules
- Either way, take them as prescribed, and tell the practitioner about any medicines and supplements you take
Our herbs come from compliant sources, as Australian regulation requires. Questions are welcome — just call.
