Homeobotanical (Hb) Therapy has such comprehensive healthcare applications, it is used for most conditions and for people of all ages.

The majority of Hb Practitioners and Clinicians are not registered medical graduates, thus surgical and pharmaceutical procedures are never used. While those Hb Practitioners who are registered medical doctors are able to offer advanced and restricted methods where necessary, for the most part Hb Patients are treated by natural methods. Indeed, there are many examples of Hb remedies being used to remove the need for surgery and extreme medical procedures.

ALL Hb consultations are based upon a detailed, personal assessment, which combines the Homoeopathic and Botanical casetaking methods of those older natural therapies. A comprehensive range of supportive therapies are used by Hb Clinicians, so Patients should check the specialist modalities available with each Practitioner.

Homeobotanical (Hb) formulations are researched and developed in New Zealand by Dr Brian Murray ND PhD (Hon) and his team. Components are botanical extracts and tinctures that are employed in both herbal and homoeopathic manners. Indications for the components are considered using BOTH the homoeopathic and botanical indications for therapeutic purpose.

All botanical and homoeopathic ingredients are manufactured under stringent conditions to the highest standards for Therapeutic Products. Each component is subjected to extensive testing to ensure the correct species of plant is being used, using optical micromeretics by independent laboratories. Thin layer chromatographic profiles of the herbs are compared to known standards, while gravimetric and colorimetric assays are used to quantify the quality and integrity of all components.

Finally, the Homeobotanicals are manufactured to rigid standards. The remedies are prepared by stabilising the various components with ethanol, glycerol and pure water - various combinations of these solvents are used to prepare an integrated medicine that is stable and fully dispersible in water.

Homeobotanical (Hb) remedies are made from herbal tinctures and are supplied to the Practitioner as a concentrate. During the consultation, the Practitioner decides which of the 42 Hb are needed to rebalance and reinforce the healing activity in the patient. This selected combination is then diluted 500%and potentised in the classical Homoeopathic manner. The resulting remedy is half way between herbal and homoeopathic medicine and has a unique combination of physical and dynamic action. Hb remedies are a CORE THERAPY used as the basis of all health management programs because they enhance clinical results for ALL other therapies.

Hahnemann said that the place to start every case was to first remove the cause of the illness. In the current environment, this usually means DRAINAGE: removing the effects of metabolic and environmental toxins from the Patient. Dr. E. Maury observed at all homoeopathic preparations in the 1X to 3X range were active drainage remedies. Hbs have been made so that the final, prepared prescription is precisely in the middle of this range. ALL Hb remedies are PRIMARILY drainage remedies and their action starts at the cellular level. The most frequently used formulations stimulate the main drainage organs (Hb K, L, Q, S) while other specialised formulations initiate a general purification response (Hb Detoxa, Glandula, W and especially B, Blood Purifier).

It is not what a person eats that builds a healthy system - it is what they ASSIMILATE. Absorption of nutrients is ineffectual in many patients, particularly ageing persons and those with complex allergy responses. Schuessler demonstrated that mineral cell salts in low potency (1X to 3X) facilitated the assimilation of those equivalent minerals from the diet to restore health and well-being. Herbs contain far more than just minerals and the vitamins, enzymes and metabolic intermediates are all valuable nutrients. Homeobotanical remedies at their unique potency modulate the assimilation of nutrients from the diet by providing similar components in potency. Hbs are frequently used together with balanced nutrient supplementation and always with dietary guidance.

Each Homeobotanical formulation focuses on an organ or system of the body. The various components initiate healing responses over a broad spectrum of symptoms that are active within the Patient. Hbs empower the Practitioner to focus their prescriptions to achieve a precise, specific response. But Hb do not inflict a heavy chemical solution usually associated with powerful medicines. The body has an innate intelligence that responds only to a well indicated remedy - the basis of homoeopathic action. Thus, within the wide range of actions possible from the many components in a personalised Hb prescription, the patient's own homoeostatic responses determine the healing action. So, Hbs have few contraindications and aggravations are rare.

The three actions discussed have the combined effect of purifying the system, enhancing nutritional status and initiating homoeostasis. In acute situations, this composite action results in rapid, effective healing. When combined with appropriate life-style adjustments and support for emotional and social components, most patients are well on their way to good health. Where years of degeneration have produced tissue and system damage, a sustained program of Hb remedies is recommended. Backed up by the appropriate nutritional program, the long term response is progressive, gentle restoration and regeneration of organs and systems. Even where the disease is irreversible, the Patient's quality of life can be enhanced through regular use of Hb.
