Research

At the heart of our formulas lies a commitment to evidence-informed herbal medicine. Every blend we create is shaped by a combination of clinical experience, traditional wisdom and modern research. Our approach ensures that each tincture not only reflects centuries of herbal knowledge (and our own expertise), but also aligns with current scientific understanding.

Our Evidence-Informed Approach

We monitor emerging data across phytotherapy, nutritional science, endocrinology, immunology, and functional medicine. This helps us ensure that the herbs we use remain aligned with safety, efficacy, and best-practice guidance.

Our research process includes:

  • Reviewing contemporary herbal research

    We continually track peer-reviewed studies, systematic reviews and botanical monographs to understand the actions, active constituents and safety profiles of each herb.

  • Integrating traditional knowledge with modern science

    Herbal medicine has a deep and rich lineage. We honour this by blending historical use, energetics, body whispers and organ affinities with current research to create well-rounded, clinically relevant formulas.

  • Evaluating synergy and clinical application

    Each blend is intentionally constructed with energetics, phytochemistry and client outcomes in mind. These are formulas we’ve created over two decades of supporting our clients. We consider how herbs interact, support each other and enhance therapeutic direction. The delivery and absorption of our formulas is also important, so you may find certain blends are only available as tinctures - this is due to the key phytochemicals being best extracted by alcohol, with fast absorption via the cheek capillaries.

  • Safety and contraindication checks

    Our formulations are cross-checked against up-to-date data on herb–drug interactions, dosing parameters and safety considerations to support practitioner confidence. If you are unsure about one of our herbal formulations with a medication you are taking, please ensure you contact us on health@natropathix.com

Our Research Library & Learning

We maintain an internal collection of:

  • Clinical papers and peer-reviewed research
  • Herbal monographs and pharmacopoeias
  • Traditional use texts
  • Functional and naturopathic reference materials
  • Practitioner case insights

This allows us to refine and update formulas as new research becomes available.

Continuous Development

We regularly update our herbal knowledge base to ensure our blends stay in line with the evolving landscape of botanical research. We work with Suppliers who assist us in this byy reviewing:

  • Advances in extraction methods
  • Constituents and their therapeutic profiles
  • Studies on adaptogens, nervines, antimicrobials, hormone-modulating herbs and more

Our goal is to offer herbal tinctures that are effective, trustworthy, and grounded in both tradition and science.
