Why Formulae?

The ordinary person should learn certain herbs and spices for everyday problems to take care of his family without running to doctors or over-the-counter drugs for little things. Secondly, one needs to get in touch with Herb Doctor or dive into his intuition for complex issues. Many herbal doctors are available these days but need to be genuine/authentic; doing a course in herbs would not make one doctor. By the Grace of God, one practice and implements the acquired knowledge using intuition and creates successful results for his patients.
