Wild Sage specializes in Tonic Herbs to promote optimal daily wellness and radiant health. Tonic herbs, such as nettles and red raspberry leaf, form the basis of our unique 100% organic herbal teas, known as the Harmonic Tonics. Tonic herbs are considered the most nourishing and “life-force enhancing” herbs. Tonic herbs can provide many highly assimilable vitamins, minerals and vital nutrients needed to promote the human body’s natural vitality. Revered for their nutritive and balancing effects, tonic herbs can be taken daily to build energy, support metabolism, relieve stress and enhance immunity. Because tonic herbs tend to act slowly and safely in the body, they have a cumulative effect and are most beneficial when taken for extended periods of time. Like nourishing “superfoods”, tonic herbs can assist one to build and sustain an “energy savings account”, with little or no side effects.
One of the simplest and best ways to protect health, restore vitality and promote longevity is to indulge in tonic herbs. The art of living a long and healthy life, known as “The Art of Longevity”, has been widely practiced for thousands of years by the people of the East, and is based on the use of tonic herbs, combined with a balanced lifestyle. Tonic herbs are considered the highest grade of herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The highest grade, or imperial tonic herbs - like ginseng - are considered to “nourish life itself”. The lowest grade of herbs only “dispel disease”; the middle grade corrects “temporary imbalances” in the body. It is interesting to note that herbs, as well as drugs (despite their multiple side-effects) are often valued exactly the opposite way in conventional western medicine! The understanding and appreciation of tonic herbs requires a western “reorientation of thought” - with much less emphasis placed on “killing germs” and “controlling symptoms” - to much more emphasis on re-establishing balance, by increasing the body system’s natural defenses and restorative powers.
