It is the most perfected and efficient method known to date to obtain fast results with plants. When we swallow a tablet or capsule, this capsule or tablet stays in our system only a few hours. Often, this is not sufficient to obtain all it's benefits. Extracts may be put on or under the tongue; they also leave the stomach linings to travel directly to the blood in a matter of seconds. Extracts may also be used as external applications directly on the skin in order to reach the affliction inside the body. We can take extracts alone, mixed together, in a glass of water or juice (never in orange juice, grapefruit juice, lemon juice, or in coffee nor tea).
