Traditional Herbalism

In traditional herbalism, herbal practice was passed down to each generation through family-run businesses. These formulas were enhanced and improved by each new generation, as they added new herbs to refine these ancient formulas. Our herbal formulas today are the product of centuries of collaboration and have met each generation’s standard for health. The medical superiority of traditional herbalism is the result of the combination of herbs used and each herb’s natural quality.

Traditional herbal medicine is composed of 4 groups of herbs to ensure maximum effectiveness.  Primary herbs are first selected to cure specific symptoms. Then, secondary herbs are added to enhance the performance of primary herbs and to neutralize or minimize certain side effects. Next, a third group of herbs is used to further fortify the body’s adjustment to the effects of these herbs. Lastly, a fourth group of herbs is added to strengthen the body’s circulation and absorption.

The techniques used in herbal practice also play a critical role in its effectiveness. In traditional herbalism, patients had to boil herbs in large quantities of water in order to maximize each herb’s content extraction. As a result, patients had to consume a large dosage of medication to reap its herbal benefits. With modern day technology, herbs can be more efficiently processed into higher concentration and be taken as capsules.

JuneLab inherited our formulas from prominent herbal practitioners from China. Each of our formulas have been carefully reviewed and certified for commercial applications. Furthermore, these formulas adhere to JuneLab’s mission to use organic and natural ingredients. Our herbs are organically natured to ensure safety, purity and effectiveness. To minimize the disturbance of nature, some of our herbs are grown in environmentally controlled botanical gardens.

Traditional Chinese herbal doctors believe that keeping body elements and endocrines balanced is the best way to prevent illness and extend life expectancy . JuneLab has adopted this view and hopes to introduce this practice to Western culture through our herbal supplement line .
