Big worries for small minds
All children can feel a little insecure and may worry about certain issues in their personal worlds. In fact, worry is a routine emotion at particular developmental stages for children.
Some children's emotions can go through ups and downs. Mood swings and worries over imaginary monsters, children who fret about the opinion of other kids at school, and the teenager who refuses to turn down music volumes, often present concerns to their parents.
Similarly, children and teenagers who act out due to age-related emotional upheavals and life circumstances can cause untold frictions within the family dynamic. If your child has a problem overcoming worry and he may be suffering from anxiety or depression. If you suspect child depression or teen depression seek the advice of your doctor. Teen depression and child depression are a serious condition that should be treated and carefully monitored by a licensed professional.
Generally, children have a natural and resilient reaction to most of life’s problems and overcoming worry is not a concern. However, some children may be more bothered by particular mishaps that might seem rather insignificant to other carefree and easygoing kids.
Whether or not children are born with a pre-disposition for worry, even the most well equipped child may battle with inner struggles due to life circumstance. Also, children may not voice their concerns – or have the vocabulary to do so – meaning that mood swings could be the medium for expression of their emotions.
The natural way
Growing up should be a natural process and worry free! Natural remedies have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to gently and safely support the healthy functioning of the brain and nervous system, helping to encourage a normal and efficient balance of children's emotions and soothed state.
In more recent times, research has confirmed this traditional wisdom. There are now many published clinical studies demonstrating the ability of a range of herbs to act in a supportive capacity to promote balanced mood and feelings of calm and well being (e.g. Cauffield JS, Forbes HJ. ‘Dietary supplements used in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders’. Lippincotts Prim Care Pract. 1999; 3(3):290-304. and Hubner, WD. & Kirster, T. Experience with St John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) in children under 12 years with symptoms of depression and psycho-vegetative disturbances. Phytother Res. 2001 Jun; 15(4):367-70).

- Hypericum perforatum (also known as St. John’s Wort) has been used in traditional medicine for centuries and research has confirmed the positive effects of this herb on mood and well-being. (Linde K, Ramirez G, Mulrow CD, Pauls A, Weidenhammer W, Melchart D (1996). ‘St John’s wort for depression – an overview and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials’. Br Med J 313, 253–258; Lecrubier et al. ‘Efficacy of St. John's wort extract WS 5570 in major depression: a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.’ Am J Psychiatry. 2002 Aug; 159(8):1361-6).
- Passiflora incarnata (also known as Passion flower) has been used to naturally promote a soothed demeanor – nature’s very own pacifier, with no harmful side effects! It can also be used to settle the nerves and ease minor worries. Once again, clinical research confirms natural traditional wisdom. (Akhondzadeh S, Naghavi HR, Vazirian M, Shayeganpour A, Rashidi H, Khani M. ‘Passionflower in the treatment of generalized anxiety: a pilot double-blind randomized controlled trial with oxazepam’. J Clin Pharm Ther. 2001; 26(5):369-373).

Our Full Spectrum Approach™
Guaranteeing Quality, Effectiveness & Safety
With a wide range of natural remedies and treatments on the market today, we understand that it can sometimes be difficult to make sense of it all. We also know that since there is no standardization in the herbal industry, there is no guarantee as to the consistency, safety or potency of the herbal remedies you buy.
That is until now!
At Native Remedies, all of our remedies are developed using the Full Spectrum Approach (FSA) to ensure you get the quality, potency and protection you deserve. Our Full Spectrum Approach consists of a set of standards and processes that combine wild crafted herbs, cGMP manufacturing and a full spectrum extraction method.
Our 3 Point Promise
1. Formulation
The first step in formulating a new remedy is always determining a customer’s needs and to match them with natural ingredients that have proven effectiveness.
In doing so, we draw on a vast body of documented knowledge about traditional medicine, as well as more recent clinical research into herbal remedies and proven homeopathic ingredients. Together with a team of natural health experts, the final formulations are compiled and decided upon.
2. Raw Material Quality & Source
All of the raw ingredients we use in our remedies are purchased from reputable suppliers and our ingredients are organically grown whenever possible.
We also ensure that wild-crafted herbs are grown far away from sources of pollution and electricity pylons, and that their presence does not compromise the integrity and balance of their environment.
All of our raw ingredients are purchased with an accompanying Certificate of Analysis. On receipt, they go into quarantine until further in-house tests are completed and released by our responsible pharmacists, ensuring that the herbs are fresh and not contaminated by any impure substances (e.g. heavy metals or bacterial infections).
3. Manufacturing
We manufacture all our remedies in an FDA registered facility under sterile conditions to ensure that no contamination occurs.
All our remedies are manufactured in-house under the supervision of our expert team and none are brought in from elsewhere. This enables us to have full control over quality and safety.
All of our products are then manufactured according to the principles of GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) ensuring the consistency, safety and effectiveness of our remedies.
Full Spectrum Method vs. 'Standardized' Extracts
You may have heard the term 'standardized' extract used in relation to herbal remedies, but do you know what this means?
Many pharmaceutical companies have begun manufacturing herbal remedies using a process of extraction whereby harsh chemicals are employed to extract the active ingredients of medicinal herbs.
You will recognize these extracts by the usage of the words 'standardized' extract on the labels. This method of manufacturing is often cited as being more scientific and able to produce a superior product with controlled and guaranteed amounts of active ingredients in each product.
Contrary to these claims, this process is not approved by the manufacturers of holistic medicines. One of the reasons is that the process of extracting so-called 'active ingredients' and isolating them from the rest of the herb is one that has resulted in an increase in side effects, as the herb in this way loses its natural ability to protect against side effects.
In addition, many manufacturers use all parts of the plants to create standardized extracts, whereas herbalists know that only certain parts of some herbs should be used.
In the case of Ginkgo Biloba, for example, it is well known that the seeds of this plant are poisonous and can cause seizures and that only the leaves should be used. Standardized extracts of Ginkgo Biloba have been associated with the risk of seizure in some trials.
The most recent example of the dangers of using this manufacturing process includes the development of liver toxicity from using Kava Kava extract, an herb which has been safely used for hundreds of years!
It must also be added that this process of extraction requires the use of harsh chemicals and solvents, traces of which are difficult to remove completely from the final product.
To us, it makes little sense for companies to go the natural route, while being unable to guarantee that their product is free of contamination with chemicals known to be harmful to health!
Unlike many so-called natural remedies manufactured according to the methods described above, at Native Remedies, we avoid standardized extracts completely and use the Full Spectrum method of extraction, which is recommended by all the authoritative Materia Medica dealing with herbal medicine.
This helps us to maintain the integrity, balance and therapeutic effect of herbs with the least risk of side effects or harm to your health!
When you buy herbal and homeopathic medicines from Sage and Wisdom, you can be confident that you’re receiving a product manufactured to the highest standards of health, production and effectiveness!
