The foundation for most of the formulary work at Phyto-Rx Formulae has been phytopharmacology - what most people call "plant medicine". The result of this work has been the creation of specific combination formulas created to address specific health care concerns.

Phyto Rx (tm) is a departure from our established formulary work in that it uses well-established extraction methods, using an alcohol base, to create traditional, reasonably priced herbal tinctures.
