We also recommend topical herbal ointments and creams for painful disorders and injuries. These substances and formulas are carefully chosen and their dosages administered according to the patient’s unique presentation, condition and history. The products we recommend are effective and safe because they have been manufactured according to the highest industry standards by trusted producers and have been carefully screened for toxins and impurities. Most patients welcome the opportunity to prepare and ingest these formulas daily and to become actively involved in their healing regimen.
