mild action may have subtle effects. Chamomile andpeppermint, both mild botanicals,

are usually taken as teas to aid digestion and are generally considered safe for self5

administration.Some mild botanicals may have to be taken for weeks or months before

their full effects are achieved. "or eample, valerian may be effective as a sleep aid after

0@ days of use but it is rarely effective after *ust one dose. n contrast a powerful

botanical produces a fast result. Dava,as one eample, is reported to have an immediate

and powerful action affecting aniety and muscle relaation.

provide primal growing conditions perfect for their farm fresh products. t is necessary

be located directly at the outsource to harvest their indigenous agricultural products at

peak maturity and immediately process these botanicals at the time of harvest > Ffarm

that we have managed to achieve only after many years of constant effort. Aside from the

economic and physical attributes that make Chiang ai the perfect location for Thai

"ree!e -ry, this is a community that is peaceful. The people are the most friendly, warm,

and loving people you can find anywhere and the rush to make money is not always the

prime motivating factor.

Science or Dnowledge of ifeG and has its

roots in prerecorded history. t eisted as an

oral tradition for thousands of years before

conscious creation of balance &homeostasis.

ancient yogis. (hen the flow of energy

botanical to produce homeostasis andsimultaneously clear the blockages.

CONCLUSION

The people at Thai "ree!e -ry see themselves individually and collectively as a

company as part of the natural world and delicate balance of life thus this company is a

great potential of a new supplier for health supplement products. Attaining and

maintaining this balance is the key to their collective and individual well being. The

products Thai "ree!e -ry shares with clients are produced naturally by their earth and

they bring these to future clients with awe and respect for the natural wisdom that they

contain and a deep appreciation of the principles they reflect.

n fact, balance in nature and in life is a guiding principle behind the healing

abilities of their herbal dietary supplements. (hen Thai "ree!e -ry achieve a coherent

state of functional balance between all systems of the body &homeostasis they have

created the pre5 condition for self5 healing , vitality and long life. n homeostasis their

heart rate slows down while, at the same time, their circulation increases. The entire

function of their physiology becomes optimi!ed and super5 efficient. )ealing and vitality

are achieved through the conscious creation of balance. This principle is at the heart of

Ayurveda, Koga and Asian healing. This is the principle that makes their herbs effective.

This is opposed to the (estern view which uses medicine &chemical interventions to

cure specific illnesses without an understanding of the negative side effects that result

from not being able to see nature as a whole.

This respect and appreciation for the balance of nature etends to their

environment as whole which we must protect at all costs. 9cological principles are their

top priority. n %orth Thailand, the soil are blessed by rich soil and natural growing

conditions that do not require chemical fertili!ers and by farmers who have, for centuries,

used traditional, ecologically sound farming practices that pre5date the use of chemical

fertili!ers and pesticides. Their an %a and )ill Tribe farmers have a sincere respect for

and understanding of nature that is part of their deeply held animistic spiritual beliefs

which regulate their daily activities. These beliefs reflect in a respect for their

environment that is etreme. n their view, the rocks, trees, soil, water, air are all living
