Neutralising

Neutralising herbs help to restore balance by gently calming irritation and lowering inflammation without dramatically shifting the temperature or the tone of tissues in any one direction. These help to facilitate homeostasis where excess heat, cold, tension, looseness and mild or fluctuating. These herbs provide soothing gentle support and stabilise physiological function to regulate imbalances in cases of mixed presentation where a neutral effect is desired.

Examples include ashwagandha (Withania somniferum), marshmallow (Althaea officinalis) and oats (Avena sativa).
