Herbal Implants & Infusions
What are herbal implants & infusions?
A herbal implant is similar to an enema, as it's not just water being infused.
Herbal implants can be an infusion of a single herb and water, or a blend of herbs, depending on the issue being treated.
See below for a complete list of the herbs and what they can be used to treat.
How does it work?
The herbal infusion is inserted into the rectum.
The infusion travels through the lower bowel and straight to the liver via the hepatic portal vein.
This allows the properties of the herbs to be transported through the vascular colon wall and into the blood stream quickly.
