How to Balance Mineral Ratios With Herbs

To effectively utilize each of the 94 minerals that are in your body, they must be balanced, stresses Francis Brinker, ND. Whole herbs and traditional extracts made from whole herbs give the most support for mineral balance and overall health. Unlike conventional drugs, whole herbs are used to create and maintain a physiological balance. Whole herbs are less likely to cause adverse effects associated with toxicity of stronger concentrations. With whole, fresh herbs, your body will utilize just what it needs for mineral balance and eliminate the rest.
