Tonic herbs are used to nourish, tone and restore the organ systems of the body, encouraging them to perform at their innate capacity and function.⠀
⠀
The word tone, which originates from the Latin word “tonus” (meaning “ability to respond”) can be understood in the same regard as “muscle tone". Our organs are specialised muscles, when you tone a muscle it becomes stronger and more responsive, if you want stronger biceps you grab a couple of dumbbells and pump those babies until they’re good and ripped, so if you want fit and healthy organs, tonic herbs are your new best friends.⠀ ⠀
For a herb to be classified as tonic it must embody certain characteristics:⠀
1️⃣Its consumption should not cause harm or place any additional stress on the body.
2️⃣It must perform a non-specific action within the body to promote healing and provide support for all of the body’s vital systems e.g. the nervous system, endocrine system and immune system.⠀
3️⃣It must be adaptive in nature and assist the body in overcoming any physical, psychological and environmental stressors, and in how to upgrade it’s healthy rythme throughout life.
