For centuries, Asian peoples have been using traditional medicines and herbs to treat and cure many ailments and illnesses. Coming originally from Vietnam, I used many of these medicines and herbs as a part of my normal daily diet and routine.
Then, a few years ago, I came across a range of herbs that had real and demonstrable positive effects on my own personal health. In short, they really worked, and I thought that I’d like to share these amazing herbs with Australians in my new home country.
I researched and studied many herbs and the sources of these herbs to find, not only the ones with the greatest efficacy but ones that are grown and processed to the highest food safety and other standards.
I came across a range of farms in Vietnam which, along with the processing facilities, complied with VIETGap, Vietnam’s government-regulated quality assurance program.
Finally, I’d found what I was looking for! Great herbs grown on great farms and processed to the highest standards.
These were herbs that were grown sustainably, where chemical and fertiliser use was closely monitored and importantly, where farmers and workers were not exploited and were looked after and treated well.
But that wasn’t all. In amongst my research, I went to scientific journals and studies to find other evidence that these herbs worked as well as I had experienced personally.
In the past decade or so, science has been able to identify the active constituents in traditional herbs examine their effects more thoroughly.
Not surprisingly, the science backs up what traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine practitioners have known for thousands of years.
Trusted ancient practitioners took a natural and holistic approach to preventive health and body healing, using more than 450 substances found in traditional medicines. The vast majority of these are derived from plant sources.
