Often it isn’t clear – especially to those who are unfamiliar with natural health remedies –why there are multiple products for the same health issue, which remedy type to choose or why we recommend a combination of products.

Herbal remedies are dietary supplements that people use to improve their health. They are prepared from plants and use herbs for their therapeutic or medicinal value. An herb is a plant or plant part used for its scent, flavor or therapeutic properties. Many herbs have been used for a long time for claimed health benefits. They are sold as tablets, capsules, powders, teas, extracts and fresh or dried plants.

Homeopathic remedies work according to the principle of ‘like treats like’ and is based on the ancient law of similars. The same substances that cause an illness will cure it when administered in infinitesimally small doses. (Vaccines operate on a similar principle). They stimulate the body’s own vital force to heal itself. The homeopathic approach is a holistic one and takes into account physical as well as psychological components, using highly potentized and proven ingredients which have a high safety profile and a long history of effectiveness.

Example: USING BRIGHTSPARK AND FOCUS FORMULA TOGETHER

BrightSpark is a 100% homeopathic remedy – which means it addresses issues at a cellular level, and therefore it is best used for acute symptoms as they occur – helping to calm and facilitate concentration immediately in the short-term.

Focus Formula is a 100% herbal remedy – the properties of the active ingredients in the remedy (extracted using the full spectrum approach) get to work supporting the nervous system and the brain, helping to maintain and support stability in the body in the long term.

For the above reasons, in the case of ADD/ADHD - it is recommended that both remedies be used together, with the one supporting long-term stability and calmed mood, and the other addressing immediate issues of concentration.

In addition, learning and concentration difficulties can impact other cognitive and physical aspects of the body, including sleep patterns, energy levels, and mood. To provide maximum support of all these bodily functions and ensure optimum well-being, it is important to consider these often over-looked but closely related effects of common learning disorders.
