Why Choose Wildcrafted's Therapeutic Herbal Compounds

The entire range of Wildcrafted’s herbal products was originally conceived and formulated by Susan O’Neill back in the 70’s. As a herbalist and traditional naturopath, Susan used her in-depth knowledge of herbal medicine and aromatherapy to formulate the skincare range, the therapeutic herbal creams and the therapeutic herbal compounds.

Over the past 4 decades Susan has continued to develop her range of products based on her patients’ needs. Many of her compounds have found their way to people in far-flung places who are not able to attend our clinic. For this reason we’ve developed the Virtual Herbalist. This allows people who cannot attend our clinic the opportunity to obtain our therapeutic herbal compounds.

The Virtual Herbalist Form is a prerequisite for obtaining any of our therapeutic products for two essential reasons.

Firstly, Australian laws mandate a consultation with individuals seeking to purchase products for health issues. This ensures compliance and alignment with regulatory requirements.

Secondly, while you may believe a specific therapeutic herbal compound is the one you require, a more suitable option might exist. Only a qualified herbalist possesses the expertise to accurately identify the most appropriate solution for addressing your health concerns.

What is a Therapeutic Herbal Compound?

Therapeutic herbal compounds are a fascinating blend of art and science, drawing on centuries of traditional knowledge while increasingly being explored and validated by modern research. They represent a holistic approach to health, aiming to treat the underlying imbalances rather than just symptoms.

In essence, the art and science of therapeutic herbal mixtures come together to provide a holistic and nuanced approach to healthcare. While traditional wisdom guides the formulation and application of these mixtures, scientific advancements contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of their mechanisms and effects. This combination allows for a balanced and informed approach to herbal healing.

Therapeutic herbal compounds involve combining different herbs to create a synergistic effect, where the combined action of the herbs enhances their individual properties. These compounds are formulated based on the principles of traditional medicine systems like Western herbal medicine, Ayurveda, or Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). They can be tailored to address specific health conditions or to promote general well-being.

It is crucial that you consult with a qualified herbalist like Susan to ensure you receive the right herbal mixture for you and your specific health condition.
