Master Victor Shim, oversees all aspects of manufacturing and production to employ rigid quality control methods throughout the manufacturing process.
Victor personally tests his new recipes on himself first. To explain this process further you will need to understand the practice of PULSE READING. It is similar to a nurse or doctor testing your heart rate on your wrist with their own pointer finger but to a much higher degree. There are 6 pulses on each wrist—3 are superficial and 3 are deep for a total of 12. Each pulse point denotes an organ and runs through the body on a meridian. It is on this pulse point that Victor can determine several things: The potency and quality of a herb, how long it will be active, which meridian/organ it is directed to, which flavor (bitter, etc.), whether it is cool/yin, cold/double yin, warm/yang, or hot/double yang or neutral.
When two or more herbs are combined their properties affect each other. Only a herbalist will know which herb can be combined with another and HOW they will affect each other. You may purchase a particular blend of herbs off of a shelf somewhere and may have a combination of, let's say 12 herbs. If a knowledgeable herbalist didn’t put the recipe together, he/she may have several ingredients that do not complement each other or even worse, neutralize each other. You may end up with only 4 to 6 active ingredients.
Quality Control- Victor will refuse a whole shipment of one or more herbs if the quality is substandard. Only the best will be utilized.
Balance -as in life everything must be in balance! It is the Hot or Cold balance that must be balanced when formulating a blend of herbs. Too many cooling herbs can slow down the circulation , too many heating herbs and the energy rushes upwards, which can cause headaches, bleeding gums, nosebleeds, etc. Elk Velvet is triple yang and is one that is too hot. Therefore a good herbalist will add herbs to formulate a balanced blend. An unbalanced blend will have side effects! Victors blends DO NOT have side effects but can have natural healing indications. These are temporary crises that occur while the herbs are working. Because the herbals are balanced, for example, you may have a sluggish liver and take Livver-HJ (10A) but you could also take the same blend if you had a hyper liver. The formulas are meant to balance the energy in a particular organ. Taking a balanced herbal formula is the best way to balance your own body.
Specific energies and organs- each of the formulas are blended using the Chinese Five Element System, to treat a set of specific organ energies. For example -#2 Vigor-X brings energy to the KIDNEYS as the main meridian or organ but to a lesser extent, the spleen, stomach, and liver or the #20 Bloatrite brings energy to the- STOMACH, LIVER and small intestines.
All Herbal Alternatives formulas are 100% pure. There are absolutely no fillers used and the capsules are made of rice gelatin.
