You can get the same effects from 100 different variations of various herbs. You need n eed to know the craft craft w ell ell in order to get the same end result using using other paths, but the actual formula isn't all that important...knowing the palette is. Anytime An ytime I see references to some "sec "secret ret form form u la" I w alk awa y. The VAS VAST T majority of physiologic reactions produced by herbs are repeated OVER and OVER endlessly in different plants, the physioogic effects that are beneficial in p lants that are ingested are r eally eally only only a few. Although a specific herb may offer a subtle range of physiologic colors that warrant a homeopathic profile or a classic Eclectic Specific Indication seperating its energy completely from other herbs, the mixing of stuff together reduces the subtleties to a gentle grey noise and you are left with the p red om ominate inate effects. effects. The Eclec Eclectic ticss often raged against a gainst polyph arm acy for the sim sim ple reason that botanical botanical su su btleti btleties es are lost. lost. At the very sam e tim tim e most of them grimaced grimaced and ended up using formu formu las most of of the time. time.

Besid esid es, having a bun ch of u sefu sefu l form ulas aroun d the th e house (or, if you are a practitioner or physician, around the clinic) covers most bases and allows YOU to control the resources. You don't need to go trundling about seeing an Eclectic M.D. (100 years ago) or trying to figure out where to find a p rofess rofessional ional herbalist herbalist in the yello yellow w p ages (there (there ar en't m any of us). us). Most formulas I use these days are made for a specific person, and are the end prod pr oduct uct of constit constituu tional tional evalu evalu ations ations and coun coun seling. seling.
