The use of herbs to remove pathologies was first documented over 4,000 years ago in ancient Egypt. This systematic, and scientific approach to treating the body with herbs, barks, roots, and leaves became the foundation for modern medicine. Sadly, over the last century, nature's healing plants have been replaced with synthetic chemicals, with disastrous consequences.
Historical Roots
Throughout the ancient world herbal tonics, lotions and tinctures were routinely, and successfully, used to promote health. The father of modern medicine, Hippocrates, precisely documented how to use the properties of plants to bring the body back into balance and good health.
Plants contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a format the body understands. Iron that has been assimilated into the electric and biological structure of the burdock plant is easy to absorb. But, iron straight from the earth, ferrous sulfate, binds the intestine, blocking a natural detoxification route.
Petrochemical Pharmaceuticals
Many modern pharmaceuticals are inspired by plants and extracted from nature. Pharmaceutical companies even sponsor expeditions into remote jungles looking for new medicinal plants. But, to patent and protect their discoveries, and maximize profits, they create chemical alternatives in the lab.
These synthetic alternatives are made by copying and manipulating natural substances, to enhance effects, but stronger isn't better. Plants and herbs support the body to come back into balance by restoring natural processes. Synthetic chemicals often suppress symptoms of illness, ignoring the root cause, while increasing toxicity.
Cleansing, Detoxing & Nourishing
Herbs provide 'tools' with which natural processes can be fine-tuned or regulated. By combining physical cleansing with the detoxification of impurities, and targeted nutrition, the body can restore cellular health. Dr. Sebi developed packages of herbal formulations to selectively combine precise quantities of herbs and engineer a profound rejuvenating experience.
Combining cleansing and detoxifying herbs with nourishing and revitalizing herbs creates an environment in which the body can repair damage and build healthy new cells. Cleansing the blood, bone, and spleen rejuvenates red blood cell production, enhancing oxygenation. Clearing mucus and inflammation from detoxification organs (skin, liver, gallbladder, lymph, kidneys, colon) and nourishing the immune system is foundational to ridding the body from disease.

Profound Regeneration
Dr. Sebi developed 'All-Inclusive Packages' for men and women providing 20 different herbal products to drive the physiological, electro-chemical, and biochemical changes needed to restore health. Enhanced detoxification, neurological, and nervous support reduces anxiety, sleeplessness, and tension while restoring metabolic, endocrine, and immune functions.
Mother Nature gifted us with herbs to heal and nourish, these tried and tested traditional approaches are immensely powerful, and unlike modern medicines, have virtually no side effects. Regular and consistent use of botanical formulations will return the body to a healthy alkaline state. Regenerate the body by cleansing, detoxifying, and nourishing every single one of your trillions of cells.
